AMERICA, FUCK YEAH! "Independence Day 240"

[Human Snorenado]

Likely story, Arvie- she probably found out you had shit taste in movies and is embarrassed to be associated with you

[TVC15]

Eh, you and Arvie are at like GAF-levels of PC here. Yes, the movie employs stereotypes, but they're all like direct rips from Shaw Bros type stuff. These are stereotypes worth a giggle, not scorn.

Only white privilege can dismiss racial stereotypes as harmless. White supremecy is not a game. This movie made me legit uncomfortable.

actually never seen it but if it's as bad as Escape From New York I'll pass

Dislike.  Escape is wonderful. 

Also I'd be OK with the racism if it was good on some other level but its not.  I mean I enjoy gone with the wind.

Again, there's nothing racist in the movie! This isn't Sixteen Candles or Breakfast at Tiffany's (both of which are very good movies despite their obviously racist elements). Your desire to be offended would have to outweigh your desire to be entertained to find something worthy of the ugly word "racism" in Big Trouble. Fuck, they even got legit Chinese actors for all the appropriate roles (and there are also plenty of Chinese, named "good guys"). You and PD simply look at who directed it, see it's a white dude, and immediately your PROBLEMATIC senses are tingling.

If you think this is racist, I hope you never watch an actual kung fu flick. The stock characters will blow your mind.

girlfriend and I collectively agreed we'd rather sit around inside and play video games than go see the fireworks.

[Phoenix Dark]

Daps to everyone who doesn't like fireworks. Loud, dangerous, they attract drunk people...no thanks. Had a small bbq affair with the lady and some family members. Earlier today I started slow cooking some pinto beans so now I'm enjoying those with some sliced up sausages.

[Purrp Skirrp]

[Tasty]

I can understand why dirtpoors in shit locations wouldn't go to see bootleg fireworks.

However, in Boston we have july4th.org.

Yeah, Big Trouble probably has more Asian/Asian-American actors in positive roles than any other Hollywood movie, like, ever.

[Madrun Badrun]

So it has 2 Asians in positive rolls? 

[TVC15]

I hope you at least got some ass from pretending to be ashamed by the movie. That'd really be the only acceptable reason for pulling that crap.

I can't stand the British/world way of numerical dates.

4/7? Get the fuck out of here.

It's 7/4.

I hate how software has become Americas Trojan horse supplanting global methods with confusing things like this. The number of times i've had to think a little harder because some software displayed m/d/y instead of d/m/y

It's fucking insidious brehs. Likewise with having to have dumb charts in my kitchen to convert Imperial to Metric

I love 'murica, but imperial units, removing random vowels from words and date format differences are annoying af.

I actually have mad respect for how much y'all manage to frustrate the rest of the world with such simple passive aggression 

[Phoenix Dark]

The movie is too cheesy and racially #problematic for me.

So the movie that makes fun of the "white guy hero saves foreigners" trope by having Kurt Russell act like an idiot and the asian sidekick(Dennis Dun) save the day in the background is racially problematic?

OK, dude.

Given Arab involvement in the slave trade you are in no position to lecture me on race, and you are now being as problematic as the toxic film you defend.

Imperial units = sucks
Removing "random" aka completely useless vowels = GDLK
Date formats = US way or the highway

We didn't feel like driving to one of the firework displays so we just had a fire and roasted marshmallows for smores

[TVC15]

In addition, Arvie, feigning shame at Big Trouble while viewing with a Chinese chick is as shameful as going on an Opa-esque third world fuck tour. The next time you need to score, rather than betray your culture shamefully, why not just go to a poverty-stricken hellhole like the UK?

[Madrun Badrun]

I honestly just thought the idea of watching it with an asian person would be funny.  Dont think you would have taken a troll like this a few years ago.  you getting old.

it is a shitty movie though

[TVC15]

Sorry, dude. Your previous earnestness betrays you. I hope you can grow to know how foolish you were, and I hope you can rewatch the movie with post-GAFian eyes and feel bad about your cultural betrayal. I hope it was worth it at the time

I met the younger sorority sister version of myself today (down to the "can't get over multi-year relationship" thing while having no soul and being a power drinker). She even has the feminine form of my given name as her given name. Now I know what the captain in The Secret Sharer felt like.

lol Donald Trump is gonna be your president.  Better celebrate while the good times last. 

 

not sure if this will be thought of generally as a pro or con, but the current canadian PM is an asshat (and also an idiot riding solely on success of his father), but at least pretty innocuous seeming, a loveable scamp maybe? 

Justin Trudeau on party tricks people

[Great Rumbler]

Don't most people like Justin Trudeau?

[Madrun Badrun]

ya at least as far as politicians go

compare this to Trump 

[naff]

yeah, trudeau seems like a decent human at least. I'm probably just mad I'm an idiot too and don't have a powerful father to propel me to success despite my flaws
