    Has anyone brought up the idea that "James Bond" is a codename and the different actors in the Bond films are all different James Bonds

    that's a false dichotomy. they wouldn't care if they were working either. at least not in a positive way. at least not if you consider stress a form of caring about things. Which I guess it could be, but never in the sense that you're implying. and that in turn is a false equivalence; apples to...

    They've got activities there. "let's hover over to the driving range and hit a few virtual balls into space" And to me the conversation that follows trying to decide on an alternative could easily imply too many things to choose from to do

    Spoilers TV Shows with Great Endings

    The final episode of the original run of Aqua Teen Hunger Force, "The Greatest Story Ever Told", was perfect. It found a way to get all the show's recurring characters together without sacrificing the tone of the show

    I apologise for that, I did not mean a deliberate equivocation, I meant a fallacious/accidental equivocation. That was the closest term I could think of at the time. In retrospect 'false equivalence' or 'comparing apples to oranges' would have been a more accurate and less accusatory term. The...

    I haven't actually seen The Day The Earth Stood Still all the way through, but as you describe it, it sounds bad but not too bad in terms of pacing. The sequences are unnecessary but at least something happens in them. A lot of other movies that are held up as 'classics' have long and/or...

    This is an equivocation. The difference begween, for example, a starving artist who lives on comissions and an independently wealthy person who paints what they want on their own time, is like night and day

    Those of you who also like this idea, what do you think of the idea that the REAL real world is either A. Not even a world of humans OR B. Actually the world of Total Recall

    That's not a thing that having a job helps with. Not once in my life has my job ever contributed to the accomplishmemt of anything that I care about (except in the roundabout way of providing money). It is, in fact, the chief impediment to doing anything I want to do, by being such a large and...

    Society doesn't let poor people have those things either. Do you think people work jobs because they want to work? They work jobs because they need the money. In fact, not even just poor people. Because also, if you want to become any kind of celebrity you have to sign the devil's book and give...

    In terms of fan theories: Wall-E is Satan. At the start of that film humanity resides in an edenic world with no hunger, strife, or work. But, thanks to a plant which Wall-E gives to a character named Eve, they end up in a place where they have to work and toil EDIT: My other favorite fan...

    of the ones I've seen 1.The Shining 2. Doctor Strangelove 3. Clockwork Orange Worst. 2001 A Space Odyssey Not only is 2001 the worst Kubrick movie I've seen, I'd say that it's the third worst movie of any kind that I've ever seen in my life (better than Tommy (they butchered that album in the...

    General video game discussion

    In regard to Master of Magic what I recommend is the massive additional content DLC ("Caster of Magic") for the original that dropped roughly around the same time that the remake came out
