To be fair, a lot of overlap amongst those groups and ideologies. Racists and misogynists are bullies by their very nature.

The Onion does better news than a lot of "real" news places.

I liked this past Sunday's episode even more than the premiere as the show begins to dig in and lay out the long term game plan. The main actor Hoa Xuende is doing an incredible job playing smooth and sociable with an entire breadth of things happening behind the eyes underneath the surface. Also if you wanted to know if Chan-wook Park would add another bizarre scene with a squid into something he's made, well, he's done it again. Far less uncomfortable than in Old Boy at least, but weird all the same. Getting so much Chan-wook Park all at once is so good.

It really is galling. Their questions hinge on the idea that because Biden is a normal person, they won't have any repercussions even though if Biden followed through on supreme leader powers, they'd be theoretically fucked. Hell, if they granted them to Trump, he's loyal to no one, so they could still be fucked. Not sure in what way this helps anyone.

The hyper capitalist military industrial complex isn't going to pay for itself!

About fucking time, this took way too long and is more important than a lot of regular people think. It looks like it took 7 years to restore this.

I agree, at the time there's no way a 4-hour Tarantino film would be released in theaters, and successfully? Probably not. Especially coming off of Jackie Brown, as you said (and I am glad Jackie Brown has gotten a reassessment since, it's very good). Still, would have been awesome to see. I also believe the Whole Bloody Affair screened once in Philadelphia too, as well as other places. The point is, it exists, and indicates Tarantino considers this to be one film in two parts. Small side note: the House of Blue Leaves scene that is in black and white in the West in Vol. 1 has its colors restored, as Tarantino prefers, on the Japanese DVD for Vol. 1 (though it was clever to use the eye being ripped out to switch to black and white for the scene). That's something else I'd like to see rectified if The Whole Bloody Affair released on bluray or 4K. There is a fan edit I believe that fixes that scene and combines the two movies to essentially create The Whole Bloody Affair, but it'd be nice to get an official release.

It's deranged to respond to someone calling you an incel that, based on what others here know about me, is likely not to be true, particularly given I'm married? But sure, I'm the clown responding to ridiculous claims about me. And oh hey, just like I predicted, you didn't follow up you initial, shallow baseless claims with anything substantive. I have never blocked another user so I think this says far more about you than it does about me. And nothing of value was lost.

No, I post every single day as though everything I say is what I believe, based on accumulated evidence over time, since I try not to typically arrive at a point about something without first feeling informed on that thing. And I'm not sure what your mental health issues have to do with your intelligence. Smart people have mental health issues and dumb people have mental health issues. Yes, I do preach improving yourself day to day and I'm glad you're doing that but you can still be not very smart and improve yourself each day and continue to work on your mental health issues separately. Again, I'm not going to get into someone's struggles with mental health, but I'm not seeing the correlation between your mental health issues and me saying you're not very smart with regards to what you say in threads on this board. Again, quote where I was arrogant (you won't). I'm not sure what you want me to take a look at, I'm asking you to point out where I was arrogant and was hating on anyone. I'll respond to what you quote, either explaining myself or agreeing it was arrogant and/or hateful. I'll wait. Then your comment is even more stupid because that means then, in effect, you're praising someone for succinct, contradictory stupidity over a salient point (since what skillz pointed out was best's flip flopping) I had to presume that you had to be referring to legend because it would be too stupid if you referring to best but indeed I gave you more credit than I should have. I'm married but nice try. And people here have seen pictures of me and know what I look like, so others can vouch for me here but I've never really struggled with women. Maybe because I actually respect them and treat and view them the way they like to be treated and viewed. A shock, I know. I assure you I'm not white knighting anything (simping and white knighting aren't good either, and are actually anti-feminist; you'd know that if you knew what you were talking about). I like how calling out sexism or trying to educate someone on an issue is white knighting (that usually means the person is sexist or an idiot or both then). I am glad however your insecurities and projections are out on full display though. Don't out yourself on your way out the door!

I'm not a lawyer, I used to be but I quit the profession 11 years ago because I didn't enjoy the arrogance, politics and cynicism within that profession. You can always block my posts, it would be absolutely no loss to me. And I'm not sure where I had any arrogance or hatred in this thread? I've seen your posts for years and I made an assessment over time that you're not very smart. Not sure why I should lie and say you are smart when I think you're not. And thinking that knowing someone's profession "explains everything you need to know about someone" is just classic you.

But it's the movie he originally wanted to make. It was horrific producer Harvey Weinstein who pushed him to split it into two films. So he finally restores his original vision and you want to say he's made a new movie (for a total of three Kill Bills) rather than cutting two movies back down to one? Does that mean since there are three versions of The Hateful Eight that he's made 13 movies then? Same - it's an enormous epic and is clearly meant to be watched as one. I can't imagine how much minds would have been blown had the 4-hour single film version been released into theaters (or something close to it). So much happens in those two movies it would have been crazy.

What are you on about? Legend has made multiple posts so it's not like he made one post with one sentence but nice try. Where did I personally attack PhaseKnox? Quote it and point it out to me. I'm simply pointing out what I've noticed over time. But any time you are challenged you never actually step up and try to get into a real conversation. it's all reductive, superficial points. I'm pretty sure you have some real problems because you constantly flip flop on issues all the time. In one thread you praise Trump being better than Biden, in another you hate Trump. You'll post on the politics board then complain about the response, say you won't come back, then you do again and again. You say something offensive, double down, then eventually backtrack or apologize. It's a cycle with you. You do this with everything. Skillz just pointed it out in this thread. You tell yourself whatever you want, I don't care. I admit I'm wrong all the time, there's proof in years past in other threads. Writing "essays" is a criticism? You are showing how much of an "intelligent adult" you are. I never once called myself a genius anywhere, so again, you just sound like you don't know what you're talking about. Hopefully this one paragraph doesn't qualify as an "essay" to you.

As I said earlier, I'm talking about years of this on the entertainment board, this board, etc. where this has come up in the past. Not specifically limited to just having some weird, pathological obsession of limiting a large portion of your video game playing to this since it has applied to others things you do in the past. Your adamancy on this issue to me is a confession of the problem I've been pointing out. It comes up rarely, and I never said it was harmful to anyone, but it's still not a good ideology to have. This is why I suggested reading some basic fourth generation feminism. This is what the term "woke" used to mean, to be "woken up" from all of the ingrained negative social norms that society has created over hundreds of years that we've all been subconsciously playing into, in this case, women to be viewed and thought about in certain ways. Same applies to racism, etc. It takes actually reading up and educating ourselves on these things because we're countering societal brainwashing. Well I definitely appreciate that you're keeping things civil and straightforward. I'd re-read all the posts that have been responding to you in this thread and try to grasp what, exactly, smart users like legend are saying. No one is saying to not enjoy beautiful women, we all do, but the way we do it, the way we think about it, the way that manifests itself in the world all matter. For instance, there's nothing wrong with an incredibly attractive female main character. What's weird is the creator's specific obsession with it. To be like: "I thought sleazily about how much her backside needs to look hot as fuck to dudes because you're staring at her backside the whole game". It's the intent there that's sleazy. It's just sort of gross. I'm pumped for the game, I don't care what the character looks like, but it does speak to heteronormative gender dynamics in art, as yet another reminder that the intent behind why things are done the way they are should have a point or if it's saying more about the artist than anything (that they have weird views on women). I'm not surprised by this; you two are: (a) not very smart; and (b) he has a history of this, I'm not limiting my comments to only what he said in this thread so maybe you two should step aside since you both usually have no idea what you're talking about. Adults are talking here. The fact you frame me pointing out his sexism as an "attack" is all that needs to be said about your grasp on this issue. I like that trying to educate someone or wake someone up from their ingrained negative social norms is always an "attack" when it gets pointed out on the non-political boards regardless of who is doing it. If you two actually cared about elevating yourselves at all, you'd sit down and listen and learn and try to see that it's never an attack. Legend and Ghost_MH suddenly "attacking" other users when they never do normally? Crazy talk. And I just jumped into this thread on the last page, so I assume you're not just referring to me.

If I had been the one to respond: "well, sir, maybe they fucking should have."

I'm surprised that you find it surprising you're coming off like that. I have to ask then: why do you think a bunch of users always get on your case about this over the years? Like, did you find this to be some strange mystery every time? They may not have termed it "soft sexism" but they were essentially saying that in other ways over the years, myself included. Soft sexism means you're sexist, but not in a particularly overt or galling way, just under the radar. It may not even affect women in real life, but you have a bad, patriarchally ingrained sexism that maintains a certain status quo in your head and your life that is ideologically unhealthy. You've so bought in to it that you think you're fine, your views on this are fine, and you make your views nice and presentable so they're palatable even though the views themselves are cringy and somewhat offputting. I wish you'd open your mind up to what all of us are saying and at least try to attempt some self-examination on this issue, just to try and see what we're all talking about. Instead you double down on wild rage clickbait conspiracy theories that are adjacent to getting red pilled. In the past I'd break down all of your posts in this thread to show you in all the ways this is troubling but I've done that before and your mind doesn't change at all. Three users in this thread this time did the same and you're still defending yourself and your views. So I'm not sure it's worth bothering for me to do so. Your cognitive dissonance is strong on this issue.
