Huh, I had the opposite reaction. I see your point about satirizing racism, but I couldn’t get past the gratuitous n-bombs every other line.

aged pretty well
Some stuff, yeah, but then you have Blazing Saddles. Woof.
Hmm, and what about fish?
I don’t think they’re merely complaining about synecdoche…
My reaction upon leaving the theater was “Wow! They did Star Wars almost better than Star Wars!”
In the days that followed, the more I thought about the movie, the less I liked it in retrospect. I was hoping for a continuation of the saga, not “Star Wars: The Remake”.
I thought the show did very well until they ran out of material to adapt and started having to improvise. The showrunners had a great talent for putting things on the screen, but they couldn’t write their way out of a paper bag.
(disclaimer, I only watched the first few seasons, plus a couple of episodes in S8 when a friend was organizing watch parties)
Are you kidding? Star Wars had amazing special effects for its day. Yeah, they look clunky now. But you know what? The special effects in Wizard of Oz looked clunky in the 1970s.
As for good story telling…what? This is Star Wars we’re talking about, not Fine Art. It’s pretty much a reshooting of The Hidden Fortress … in space!
It’s a fun movie, but damn do people lionize it far beyond what it ever actually was.
Yep, that’s basically my job 😂
If we started putting server-class chips on board next to the current ECU, would “the cloud” start to mean “someone else’s car”? 🤔
Reasonable prices, too. With that clientele, you can’t just charge an arm and a leg.
Software engineer, aka glorified code-monkey. Ook!
You might say that my job fits under the umbrella of IT, but no, it’s totally a different thing! ;)
I used to bike to work occasionally. It was maybe a 5 minute drive, 15 minute bike ride. I would bring a backpack with a change of clothes and change in the bathroom once I got to the office.
I’m on board as soon as we verify that Putin has completely disarmed.
hard-right
Hehehe…
Jury duty stipends indexed to cost of living.
Today, in my county, you get $20 a day. That won’t even cover parking near the courthouse.
Serving on a jury shouldn’t prevent you from being able to make rent for the month.
Efficient at confusing people, perhaps. Personally, I have no idea what you’re on about.
Ni! Ni!
I just hope they actually have their social security card. A quick googling told me that you need a current ID to get the social security administration to issue a replacement card. Talk about a vicious cycle!
