I should hate Starship Troopers because Verhoeven. Got it.
The Lion King is almost certainly a ripoff of Kimba the White Lion.
That doesn't make it any less of a good movie, from when Disney actually cared about quality.
By the way, I'm three Rebuild movies down. One to go. I don't see why you warned me about them so harshly--I agree they're not perfect, what with Mari not getting enough character development to build upon her Blood Knight foundation, and so far I do like the actual series better, but so far, I don't see why you didn't want me to see them.
Again, have not been able to see movie 4 yet. Will have time on Monday--it's over an hour longer than 3.33 was!
I was always told the show was a satire about ridiculous anime clothing...
Though it does have one of the very best English dubs you will ever hear, IMO.
I know a lot of you hate dubs on principle, but I urge you to give this one a shot.
So it must be "makesty" with the K?
Whoops, somehow I completely missed that.
Have an upvote as an apology.
AoV?
Average order value?
Approaching original violence?
All O Ver?
We call it "The People's Republic of Austin."
I prefer "San Fran South."
I thought it was a reference to the kid.
In 1980s WWF, Gorilla Monsoon would say about a certain wrestler "He has X kids at home" and Bobby Heenan would say "Ah, one of each."
I have never understood that quip.
Everything after the number, I have no idea what this means.
Yes it does.
Hugh Grant's character dresses like the "QAnon Shaman" and breaks into Kellogg's headquarters, in a direct reference to 1/6/21.
That's not even the worst part for me.
Hugh Grant's character? The one and only Thurl Ravenscroft, the incredible voice actor who played Tony the Tiger for FIFTY-TWO YEARS until his death in 2005.
Yasuke did not exist.
The sole argument for the existence of Yasuke is the Jesuit chronicles of their missions to Japan. Which were filled with nonsense and aren't taken seriously by most Catholics. Several of them were bloating their accounts in hopes of a bishopric.
Nobunaga never mentioned him in his own writings. Which given that Nobunaga would write poems about pretty much anything he laid eyes on, suggests that the two never met. The sole corroborating account stated that one of the missionary priests had a black servant, and they presented him as a curiosity to Nobunaga's court, but there is evidence of nothing else.
Here's another strain on historical credulity. Supposedly Yasuke fought for Nobunaga as a samurai. One of the claims is that he spoke fluent Japanese.
The time period between when they supposedly met and when Nobunaga was assassinated by Akechi Mitsuhide was... three months.
A black guy from what would now be Morocco, probably a slave to the priests, and someone whose language skills would have included mostly broken Portuguese, supposedly learned the second most difficult language on earth in three months. For reference, Japanese has three goddamn formal alphabets.
There is nothing about the story that is historically credible. There is more evidence of Santa Claus than there is of Yasuke. Now if you want a Japanese historical figure that is actually interesting and actually real, I suggest Honda Tadakatsu. He's a real life Hercules.

Did that guy PLAY Metal Gear Solid 3?
Also, when was this?
She had a broken-mechanic inflated-scoring area (AKA a three-point line).
Pete Maravich didn't.
Advantage: Pistol.
movies aren't butchered as badly with translations and localization when compared to video games.
When Funimation (Crunchyroll now) dubbed the third Rebuild of Evangelion movie, they deviated so much from the script that Hideaki Anno was royally pissed.
Actual line from their version: "I love the smell of LCL in the morning!"
Anno was SO angry, he demanded the entire English dub be re-recorded with a more accurate script. And it was...about three years later. Not sure if it's on disc, but I can verify that this redone script is the one on Amazon Prime Video, which I took the 30-day free trial to see.
Only the fourth movie left for me to see, as of this writing. I have that on disc, so I can cancel the Amazon Prime trial now. I don't see what Adamrises was so angry about so far...
My point is, we need more men like Hideaki Anno in the world.
He's been at this for so long that I almost want to respect his determination.
Almost.
But there's a good chance he's crazy enough to actually try this shit on an actual child.
I keep telling my parents to get their savings out of Bank of America.
They say "What savings?"
Fuck Joe Biden.
Fun fact: John Barrowman, who is gay and played Captain Jack Harkness on Doctor Who, auditioned for the role of a gay man on the sitcom Will and Grace.
According to Barrowman, he did not get the role because HE WASN'T GAY ENOUGH.
Nice. I'm still bummed about the closure of Six Flags Astroworld in 2005.
I'm going to another park in Texas in a few weeks. I won't say where.
There's Star Ocean: The Second Story R, which I absolutely adore...but while not developed by Square Enix, it was published by them.
Dude, don't spill the secret!
Don't take this the wrong way, but...you really like theme parks, huh?
I have seen people stick around the comment sections of YouTube channels that cover subject matter they hate (and I don't mean Asmongold-like commentaries, this is neutral news stuff), and be continuously negative and hateful for YEARS, rather than just LEAVE.
The pro wrestling fandom in particular is full of this bullshit. Check out F4WOnline's comments sometime. The circlejerk of haters all upvote each other and keep the positive ones down.
Or it's all bots.
"There are no bad tactics. Only bad targets."
Speaking of retro gaming, I can verify that the Houston Arcade Expo is run by good people.
I've been there the past two years, and had a great time each year. They never pressured me about masks or shots, either.
I would absolutely go again this October, but I can't due to family obligations.
So to thank them, I'm giving my endorsement here--if you're in the Houston area in October, check them out!
There's a reason I kept this around, despite rarely agreeing with Kaarous.
That comment hit the nail on the head, and I believe in giving credit where credit is due.
