Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

[TiQuinn]

Reminds me that it's time to see if there are any Kurosawa movies available for streaming. I wanted to buy The Criterion Collection, but I don't think that it's available anymore.

Still available.

There are times when I'm reading a thread and I get the distinct impression that a very few posters in it are reading a VERY different thread because they're drawing conclusions that are dubious as hell from the other posts. I mean, I get the Rashomon Effect and how people apply different perspectives (or agendas), but sometimes...

Most of the time I see that it feels like I've seen the same things from them before. :-/

Still available.

Individually, yes, but the boxed set is no longer available.

Always hilarious when you just flip the labels of WotC and another company, and watch someone’s major argument in every thread suddenly turn 180 degrees.

There's a line from Simon and Garfield's "The Boxer" that seems to have application.

"No but see, I like that company. The ones I don't like are the problem."

Huh. I think I agree with just about every word of that thing you're hating on. I guess it's true: Different people do have different preferences.

"No but see, I like that company. The ones I don't like are the problem."

There are some weird cases where that can be a not-unsound position to hold, depending on all the specifics, but its at least something you need to think about hard. And that's rarely the apparent case.
