Tarantino movies ranked:

Pulp Fiction
Jackie Brown
Death Proof
Vol 2
Reservoir Dogs
Django
Hateful 8
Inglorious Basterds
Vol 1

There is a massive quality decline in Tarantino's work after Jackie Brown. It's a good thing he's filming only a few more movies.

Vol 1 is easily his worst.

[Himu]

Death Proof is Tarantino's best movie.

It's up there.

I tend to agree with this, as I haven't given a shit about any movie he's done since. Tbh, I could go with just cutting down his filmography to Jackie Brown and Reservoir Dogs and be good.

TBH these days I think Pulp Fiction, Jackie Brown, Death Proof, Vol 2, Reservoir Dogs are his only must watch films and he's my favorite director. I don't think the others are required. Maybe Django. I'd add Django depending on the day.

[jorma]

Pulp, Dogs and Django for me.

So, how do ya'll think ERA will finally bite it?

Implode overnight, or a slow, gradual bleeding out?

They can't implode like Gaf, it's too decentralized.  If for example it turns out Sweet Nicole has been secretly acting disingenuously and in bad faith all along, they just ban and say shame on you and keep truckin'.  The closest thing to Lore is Cerium and I don't know if he even has that much of a grip on the forum that the inmates couldn't seize it from him easily.

They'll slowly hemorrhage from bans.  If you don't get got in a trans thread, it'll be for insufficient hatred toward any particular conservative, or playing oppression olympics too hard for your own team.  Eventually they will ban everyone with a dissenting opinion and no threads will ever have any disagreement.  Just page after page of "disgusting," "gross."

[samfish]

It’ll blow up overnight probably due to financial issues and quibbling over ownership and such. It’s a very poorly managed community overall. They need(ed) real community managers who understand that moderating is not opinion enforcement, and can keep the place from becoming a crazy liberal circus.

Honestly, for all the shit we gave him, Opiate was a good moderator at GAF overall. When he fucked up, he fucked up bigly though. But overall he was good at guiding a discussion without telling people how to think. . Stump was for a while until he finally gave in and drank the koolaid.

Slow, gradual bleedout if they aren't able to find new members. So far it just seems like holdovers from Neogaf.

They'll eventually piss off a community by banning the wrong poster and there won't be anyone to take their place.

Hopefully Cerium realizes if he ever gets an offer for more than 100k for Resetera he should take it immediately.

They'll keep growing until they buy out IGN. Then The Bore will rebrand as the anti-corporate choice for gaming news.

If Reset blows up, it will be due to squabbling about how the money from the subs will be split between the staff. Or how the money is being mishandled or abused.

$40 is a fucking ridiculous price. It should be like $3.99 a year, if that.

It's 4 bucks a month.  At that price a year would normally be 48, but they are only charging 40.  That is significant savings!!

Is nice to see how the conversation on the babe.net reporter thread changes depending of the daytime...

A lot of those women are also older and are okay with it because they had to put up with it as well. This isn't awkwardness, it's him continually forcing himself upon her despite the fact that she tells him she wasn't into it, which he acknowledges (it's not fun if we're not both having fun).

It's not okay just because he's funny on TV, it's not okay because a lot of people do this kind of thing. From the moment she says she's uncomfortable and wants to stop, it stops being an "Aziz sucks with women" story and becomes something far worse. And after that point it just keeps going and going and going.

At least exceselciorcief tried to dodge the "ageism" rethoric...

Seriously though, why is everyone acting like this over Labo? Selling children's toys that are nothing more than cardboard you assemble is nothing new. Just look at blocks, dollhouses, and play sets. They sell well too. Nothing new under the sun.

“Steven Pinker said the alt-right is good! But the alt-right is bad! We must defend this principle!”

Sounds like your typical ERA post. :p

That’s because the pernicious social dynamics of these online spaces hammer home the idea that anyone who disagrees with you on any controversial subject, even a little bit, is incorrigibly dumb or evil or suspect. On a wide and expanding range of issues, there’s no such thing as good-faith disagreement.

And this bit sums it up rather well.

I will also mention, I actually posted this video in this very thread.

Steven Pinker will be O.K. A fleeting Twitter blowup isn’t going to bruise his long and successful career as a public intellectual. But this is happening more and more — and in many cases to people who don’t have the standing and reputation he does.

This is the stuff that actually scares the shit out me.

[samfish]

As a lifelong Nintenthing, I’m actually tempted to buy that cardboard thing. It looks fun.

But as a parent of a 2 year old, I also recognize that because it’s made of cardboard, it’s the fastest way to flush $70 bucks down the toilet. $70 bucks is way too steep for something most kids, eve like 12 and 13 year olds, are going to completely ruin within a matter of months at best.

Nintendo Labia will be fine for any kid over age 8 who has been taught to take care of their toys.  There's a ton of craft stuff like that for kids that lasts, I even had some as a kid.

But people over age 16 probably shouldn't be buying it.  At least what they've shown.

The crazy thing is they would also think they are making a reasoned argument as well. As if like the conclusions were made from a clear understanding of the facts presented to them rather than an argument based on a series of misrepresentations.

Comes with a game and is 70 USD. If you have GCU, it brings costs to 56 USD, so treating it like a 50 USD game, wouldn’t the cardboard be 6 USD with that breakdown?

All the French women slamming #MeToo are 50+ and consider that getting groped means you are pretty.
A lot of French men have been raised with stories of men groping everyone, lead to believe that it is normal. Even 25years ago (some would say even 10years ago), it was considered normal to pinch a woman's ass (sometimes not at work) and people laughed when it happened on TV.
Young people (especially women) have been tired of that and developed numerous feminists movement and called out people who practice sexual harassment/aggression.
Police often laugh at the face of a rape victim (man or woman) and you hear "did you see what she was wearing" more often than not when a case is brought to light.

There are certain claims that are just absurd, yet no one even bats an eyelid. As if the police spend their time pointing and laughing at rape victims the moment they walk through the door. I suspect there is no other crime apart from domestic violence that has seen more scrutiny in the way police deal with it.

Are you kidding, it's even stronger of a virtue signal if you are giving up actual payment for something in protest.
