I remember the bizarre reaction of Disney to both The Lone Ranger and John Carter losing money. They celebrated and did the weird math to prove how much they lost on those movies. Now they screech when anyone else use that same mathematical formula to point out they are losing money on almost everything they produce.
Apparently a local pilot was driving the ship out of the port. I don't have a source but my wife was watching a broadcast where that was announced.
"So I drank the wrong pop, Kay? Get off my back!"
That's it faggots, back to the closet.

I did not say they were, I said largely. The point is that if one "non-consensual" act is enough to bury a famous part of Americana, in this case the celebration of the war with Japan ending early, then the large scale non-consensual act of wide spread drafts should make for the burying of all pro-US pictures from the war. I think we made the correct decision to fight Japan. I had a grandfather who volunteered overly enthusiastically for just that purpose. I am arguing against the erasure of our culture by revisionists who refuse to accept that their very changeable "Morale code" does not match what would be considered an acceptable act 80 years ago. In the case of the VJ Day kiss, it was only considered acceptable back then because it was a celebration of pent up release. "Oh My God the war's over!" "Ooof! Well alright you can have a kiss. It is a big day." No worries, we're on the same side of this.
The war was fought with draftees from every country involved including the United States. Many of the pre-war military were volunteers looking for work during the end of the depression. There were plenty of volunteers, but lots of draftees. The draft is non-consensual. If one act of non-consent, even if the girl in question didn't really mind, is enough to ban a picture then all are. The pre-war anti-war/peace movement was massive.
The war was largely fought with draftees, a non-consensual act. Also the Iwo Jima flag raising was ordered to be done twice. They had to go back non-consensually and get a larger flag to make the photographer happy. Can we ban that picture too?
The 1980s was fun during the 80s. In the 90s much of what happened culturally in the 80s was looked down on as dated and uncool. The 80s was a time of optimism in the west, and the 90s a time of absurd self-congratulatory optimism. "Things are great and will only get better." By the late 90s some radio stations were playing 80s music as part of nostalgia lineups.
As the millennium passed and the promise of a sweet future turned into the realization of a not so great culturally stagnating eternal now, people began using the internet to have at first ironic but later desperate for the past nostalgia trips. These focused on the 80s.
The nostalgia began to take on a desperate tone as the 80s nostalgia wave went on seemingly without end. Right now, we are seeing a bit of a backlash that is trying to paint the 90s and early 2000s as the time of eternal hope and fun. And of course the 80s must be uncool again for this to happen.
In my opinion this is little more than a continuation of the 80s nostalgia trip and a refusal to accept the continuing culturally stagnant now that we live in. A yearning for the past rather than a hope for or an effort to create a bright future.
TLDR The above may be bullshit but I find it hilarious that the "80s" Turtle show was mostly produced in the 90s and it's what everyone thinks of when they think of TMNT. Even the ones who obsess over the early 2000s show.
Nope. Back in the 90's, possibly earlier, there was a traffic cop in New York I think who got really really bored. So he started waving people through while dancing to a beat inside his head. Many speak of marching to the beat of their own drummer, he did it.
I remember when that traffic cop got really bored and started dancing on the job. He was cool. This is not him.
Which game series is that? I've played Shogun: Total War and that one seems more like it was taking a period in Japanese history partly popularized by Clavel's book Shogun and running with it. John Blackthorne is Clavel's version of Adams for the book.
The Kennedy family have been weirdos and bad for the country since they were bootlegging. I'm glad he's apologizing. The commercial is fine, but maybe his mewling cowardice will cause the few fans he has to realize that the Kennedy name and family have always been a poison pill wrapped up in friendly news coverage.
I'm used to conservatives in general and Republicans in particular folding when facing the Feds, but this time looks a bit different. So far we are half an hour past the deadline and nothing is happening. Best case scenario is the feds feeling foolish and backing off so the Biden administration completely loses face. The states get back to doing their own thing. However, if things get hot I would hope the Texans would live up to their boasts and we see a bunch of hogtied Feds under arrest. Don't be mean though and brand all of them. Just the officers as a reminder that there is a price to pay for being a leader of men.
A Spaniard kissed a girl. The punishment should be that she doesn't slap him. The lack of slap makes him lose face. Anything else is foolishness.
Merry Christmas!
Be it at thirty or forty, or if she's unbelievably lucky fifty, her world will collapse and she will die in drug addled self pity when the clients dry up.
It is a horrifying truth.
It's sad to say, but Shudder is gay. I was considering reopening an old account on it to watch some Joe Bob over December and the first thing on their site was Dragula. I did not pay them a dime.
Ignore them. They're just dancing monkeys. There are well over a century of movies from all over the world waiting for you to explore. Some even have for real dancing monkeys. Dive in and have a few laughs.
Never forget his big break was staring in the mini-series Roots. Based on a book that plagiarized a fictional novel and tried to pass it off as history. He's been a black supremacist "We Wuz Kangs!" piece of shit since before most of the people on here were born.
It's as if they put a giant Target on their backs! I'll see myself out.
