| WhiskeyDisk 12/26/18 8:08:59 AM #188 | Caught a late show of Aquaman last night and...I liked it. It's dumb on a "Deus ex machina/chain of unbelievable coincidences" level if you think about it too hard, but it was entertaining all around. Not a bad DC superhero movie by any means, but Cinema Sins is eventually going to have a field day with it is all I'm saying. --- |

Does he have a voice in his head ... or is he hallucinating? Pretty cool stuff. Where's Jamie Braddock when you need him to sort out who's batshit crazy and who isn't? >_> --- |

| WhiskeyDisk 12/20/18 3:18:53 AM #164 | ...what is so bad about it really? It's already a more or less absurd premise to begin with, and I'm not the least bit surprised that this has a Blade/LxG/Preacher vibe to it. I love Sandman, but after seeing what was done to Lucifer, I have no illusions about the sacrifices I'd have to endure to ever see it get out of development hell. Imagine Batman getting a Netflix treatment. Nobody is ever going to be happy at the end of the day. --- |

If all you're familiar with is Life is Worth Losing or It's Bad For Ya, I can see where you get that impression, as I said earlier he kind of became cranky towards the end. I blame sobriety turning him into a dry drunk. The sheer volume of his material over the span of his career, and the way he retired his old act as he went was unprecedented at the time. The modern standup scene would look nothing like it does now were it not for him. Comics would still be milking the same bit for 20 years if he hadn't forced working comics to step up their game. You may not like his acts, but to dismiss him entirely as "having all the insight of an angsty teen" is demonstrably false and downright laughable if you have any insight into stand-up comedy. --- |

I complain about CT non-stop yet I choose to live here instead of moving to a non-frigid-hellhole of a state whose economy isn't on life support and which didn't just elect a governor who, in all likelihood, may be a step down from Dan fucking Malloy. Just saying Zeus, CT isn't far from that point already. Case in point, when I moved out of CT back in 2011, Stamford had a population of over 350k. Now the number is something like 85k. I don't see how the state can remain solvent for long at the rate things are going if that is any indication of things statewide. --- |

Just to throw a wild card out there, as much as most female comics don't do much for me, I think a lot of people are sleeping on Iliza Shlesinger. I might be biased because I hit on her at a party years ago in New Canaan back when she was calling herself Lizzy when she thought she was Courtney Love in the late 90s...but she's hot AF and she's actually funny without every joke she does being about her vag. --- |

I always hated ralphie May Maybe I have a biased POV because I listen to a lot of standup comics' podcasts and hear a lot of inside baseball, but Ralphie was a genuinely good person with a heart of gold and a lot of pain...like most stand-ups, granted...but the dude never let his fame go to his head. He was always there to help the people he came up with, and he was very generous to a fault when it came to his friends. --- |

Black is a genius, but he hasn't done much in the past 4 or 5 years afaik, so he's not exactly on anyone's mind right now. As to Burr, he's at his best when he's just riffing on some dipshit that asks him a stupid question, but that's a common trait in most of the Boston comics. Never really got Burress. His delivery just doesn't do it for me, but I can still see why some people love him. --- |

| WhiskeyDisk 12/06/18 12:48:45 AM #27 | Firewood18 posted... Carlin was steadfast and true. People should wear bracelets that say "what would Carlin do?" This, I'll explain why in a second. Firewood18 posted... And man, I wish Hicks lived a little longer. Double this. JFC, Hicks was...just on another level. DiScOrD tHe LuNaTiC posted... Incorrect. Carlin was one of the greatest social commentators of all time. Also this. Now granted, towards the end Carlin kind of became a cranky, bitter old prick...which was his right at that point in his life and what was happening in the world at the time. That being said, what a lot of Carlin's detractors seem to miss is that the man wrote a new hour every year for damned near 40 years. If you understand anything about standup, you know what a crazy idea it was when he started doing it. He came from an era where a working standup comic could still literally milk the same hour of material in Vegas for 20 years. He was really the first comic that would do a special and straight up burn the entire act and start from scratch as soon as it was recorded because it wasn't fresh anymore. I love Kinnison, but if he were still alive he'd still be shouting OH OH OH. GO WHERE THERE'S FOOD! Dice still tours and gets stuck doing Hickory Dickory Dock as an encore. If Hedbergh was still alive he'd still be feeding ducks with Subway bread as an encore. Hell, even Bert Kreischer can't leave a theater without people begging him to do The Machine. If an audience had begged Carlin to do 7 dirty words in 87 as an encore, he would have flipped them the bird and walked off stage. Once his act was recorded, it was sour milk to him and he was on to the next hour. Without a guy like Carlin, comics could still afford to be complacent and lazy. You'd never have guys like Hicks or Stanhope or Ralphie May if it weren't for guys like him. Gabriel Iglesias would still be doing his fluffy bit. Dunham would still have one puppet. White would still be doing Tater Salad. Foxworthy and the rest of the redneck crew would still be milking their punchlines. Kat Williams would still be doing White People...Demitri Martin wouldn't have to rip pages off his sketch pad as he goes. The modern art of standup owes in particular Carlin, Lenny Bruce, and Hicks an eternal debt of gratitude that any comic worth a damn would acknowledge. Just my two cents. Change My Mind. --- |

Hell, he could probably straight up ask Spider-Man to use his connections to get someone like Tony Stark or Reed Richards to build him stuff like that if he was interested in taking prisoners. I certainly can't argue with that logic since Parker could have given him a "web fluid shotgun" and a warehouse full of web cartridges 30 years ago. I hear now in modern continuity that Castle actually has the War Machine suit...like seriously, wtf? Who made that call? We also apparently have Venom: Agent of SHIELD so I'm honestly at a loss as to why they don't just get it over with and let Carnage take Castle as a host at this point. --- |

Metalsonic66 posted...Zeus posted...Angry Beavers figure... can't remember the name of the beaver since it's been forever since I watched that) Perhaps, but Logan doesn't wake up in the morning with a hard on with a cheeseburger at the end of it at the thought of killing mere humans. I'm not saying Wolverine is a saint or anything, but as a mutant he can afford to practically ignore most mooks as he goes. I'm sure Logan's.kills are disproportionately worse and more powerful mutants as a matter of necessity. Castle on the other hand as a more or less vanilla human with training has to put two in the chest and one in the head of literally every low level thug that stands in his way because he can't afford to get shot the way Logan can and continue to function. He pretty much has to shoot the center of mass on literally every obstacle as he goes on principle. His body isn't going to just spit out small arms fire like mosquito bites as he walks up a staircase the way Logan can. As contradictory as that may seem, Castle not being brainwashed or having a 300+ year lifespan he must really, really enjoy killing people to even come close to Logan's body count. Like Carnage should have bonded to Castle ages ago because he's killed way more than Cleetus Kassidy. --- |

Yeah, Mauschwitz doesn't do grey areas, and you'd be hard pressed to find anyone that can say Frank Castle isn't a prolific serial killer, even if the people he does kill are shitstain blights on humanity 99% of the time. Just about anyone else in the Marvel stable with his body count is deep, so very deep into the villain category. --- |

Let's be honest, most sane and right-thinking individuals don't count Star Wars characters or Marvel Comics characters as Disney princesses, even if Disney does own them now. Only a hateful marketing department and the loathesome youth of this decadent modern age try to squeeze Rey and Leia in there on the pretense that every princess should be invited to the club. Oh no PO, if we're doing this in modern canon, we're going balls deep and we're doing this against any shetagonist Disney owns, don't be scurred. Pulling the moon out of the sky to punch Bambi in the face isn't out of the realm of possibility, and we may have to if we're going to put the Disney gals in their place, unless you want to go the Purple Man route and work with using Belle's Stockholm Syndrome to infect the rest of them. It's going to be ugly, but I'm willing to go there if Jasmine has Genie in her stable. --- |
