One day some of the kids from the neighbourhood carried my mother's groceries all the way home. You know why? It was outta respect.

To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Rick and Morty. The humor is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of theoretical physics most of the jokes will go over a typical viewer's head. There's also Rick's nihilistic outlook, which is deftly woven into his characterisation - his personal philosophy draws heavily from Narodnaya Volya literature, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these jokes, to realize that they're not just funny- they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike Rick and Morty truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn't appreciate, for instance, the humour in Rick's existencial catchphrase "Wubba Lubba Dub Dub," which itself is a cryptic reference to Turgenev's Russian epic Fathers and Sons. I'm smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as Dan Harmon's genius unfolds itself on their television screens. What fools... how I pity them. And yes by the way, I DO have a Rick and Morty tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It's for the ladies' eyes only- And even they have to demonstrate that they're within 5 IQ points of my own (preferably lower) beforehand.

>no reason

What memery is this show even on lmao

Christ, you can almost hear the waves crashing in Dany's pussy when Jon goes into his big speech.

There genuinely can't be a worse character than Dany at this point.

>Witnesses multiple magical events in her lifetime including being involved in one
>Owns the magical equivalent of nukes in this world
>Refuses to believe in MAGICAL ice demons despite the growing evidence and the fact that an entire kingdom to the north is utilising precious resources to defend themselves
>Proceeds to do exactly what Joffrey would do after losing a couple battles
>Nearly loses her fucking winning ticket to the war just so she can immolate a couple of tired Lannister brigades

YAAAS KELLY C SLAYYY

"You know, Peter, with great power comes great responsibility. Rudyard Kipling called it "White Man's Burden." Myself, I just call it as I see it: the responsibility of the master to discipline the servant." Ben looks directly at the camera.

"The niggers, the spics, the chinks...It's our responsibility to civilize them. And if we can't? Then they shall dangle from the elm tree. The Day of the Rope is near, Pete. We'll have every nigger in this country dead or in chains in 10 years, and may God have me shot by some carjacking quadroon this very night if I'm wrong. God bless the American Nazi Party."

Damn, Raimi was such a madman, that would never go well with today's audience. Homecoming has a lot to live up to.

lemme get uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

The more I think about how Olenna Tyrell and her army got dealt with in such a quick and easy way, the dumber this whole show seems to me. "Fighting never was our forte". So how were they ever valued as a military ally in the previous seasons if they could just be destroyed using zero effort. Despite the fact that Jaime had to siege one of the major castles in the show, he still manages to get it done immediately and presumably without any loss to his army. It seems like the sizes of everyone's armies are being left intentionally vague and undefined so that stuff like this can keep happening regardless of logic. Cersei is just going to keep implausibly gaining the upper hand to increase the "drama", until Daenerys inevitably wins in the end despite all odds.

I figured the main bulk of the Tyrell's were with Dany on Dragonstone at the time. They could've literally just said that and I wouldn't have had a problem with it, but for some reason DABID had to go with "the Tyrell's are essentially just pussies lmao".

Even then, there's no rationality behind taking a fortified castle in a day, army or no army. I can buy the whole "learning from our mistakes with Robb Stark" tactical move but storming a castle within the space of a couple scene transitions just reeks of bullshittery.

BUT THERE'S ONLY SO MANY EPISODES LEFT JUST DONT THINK ABOUT IT

Not really that much of le gamer any more so if it keeps me entertained for longer than a couple weeks then I've got my money's worth.

Movies are another story because I enjoy them for a variety of different reasons. I enjoy meticulously crafted films just as I enjoy movies designed for pure entertainment purposes if done with a modicum of thought put behind them. A lot of people seem to put themes above enjoyment value but if the movie is just becomes one giant pedestal for the director's opinions then the actual film making takes a backseat and detracts from the overall experience. To me, a good film knows when to equipoise it's material with entertainment value.

do you have a favorite director

It's a tie between Danny Boyle and Scorsese.

What do you think about Brian De Palma?

I liked Untouchables and Carlito's Way but I'm honestly not that familiar with his work.
