It's ok I guess but i have to wonder if the parallels between the eviews decription of bay's careers and the nostalgia critic finishing and restarting are intentional or just ironic.

I actually felt bad for "Michael Bay" during that whole bomb scene where he had to carry the DVDs around. I don't know why but I did. Doug Walker can do drama when he cares to.

Granted "Porn it!" was pretty over the top but I actually liked the sketches for the most part. It wasn't the usual Bay-bashing, he actually seemed to be making him a sympathetic character who was honestly trying. Which goes back to one of the themes of The Review Must Go On and Critic's purgatory.

And holy shit I'm overthinking this I need to stop now.

For the review itself, it did make me realize something I hadn't considered before for some reason. The attack on Pearl Harbor is by and large remembered for the attack on the Navy ships. The other services got bombed too but it's pretty much remembered as a Navy thing.

And two out of the three leads are Army Air Corps pilots?

That's like a fundamental fail right there.

American war movie picks its characters from the army service that is perceived to be the most individualistic and involve the least teamwork, over the one that's like... the least.

Why is that a surprise?

I've enjoyed the newer ncritics more than his old ones, but i still say they are a lil too long and the nchick is better.

Most war movies generally pick their characters from the service that was most involved with whatever the movie is about. Or have a larger main cast if there's a strong multiservice story going on.

But nice "lol murrica" jab you got in there. Because it's totally original.

Don't blame me for your culture being both laughable and predictable.

RETARD FIGHT!

So I went to get some new eyeglasses the other day.

After health care, two new pairs cost me $4. It was a $200 pair, and they had a buy one get one free promotion on. So I managed to get one frame clear, and one set to prescription sunglasses.

Here is what I'm rocking now. I like the look of them, and the price is right.

Iron Mike

You have the prescription for the daily blues

maybe i'm misremembering but wasn't a big part of mccain's presidential campaign based on portraying him as a "maverick"

idk, i always thought that if gwb got elected for a third term, ryan would be one of those he'd give a congressional medal of freedomocracy for his service as one of the righteous amongst nations

Given that you are a product of Canadian culture.

You should not be throwing stones.

But why get into this silly nationalistic e-peen waving contest?

When we can just make fun of Japan and panty vending machines instead?

What are you two even arguing about?

It's not important, hence my attempt at a subject change.

Because I wish to see a discussion about Japanese culture and panties in vending machines.

Is that a real thing or just the odd one here and there?

From what I've heard, it's a thing, but only something you'd find in the sketchiest of sketchy areas.

For the first time in my life, I got drunk. It fucking sucks. All I drank was hard cider and some Smirnoff and orange juice. But the hard cider was throughout the night. Never again.

I've only gotten drunk once, on straight Korean vodka. The vomiting all over myself was unpleasant, but I did feel strangely alright when I woke up the next morning.

I;m nursing it now. The vomiting is unpleasant but you always feel better after it. The Crohn's side is NOT pleasant. So, I think I've had my feel of alcohol and will lead a sober life. I'll stick to hosting parties with my Southern Hospitality.

The only time I've been completely trashed was on half a bottle of old monk rum. No vomiting, but I did manage to drop a log in the toilet without remembering it later, and somehow stumbled my way to bed and pass out.

There is something to be said for getting really drunk once just to be sure where your tolerance is.

Plus it did get me through the 70+ page recap of the Battle of Waterloo in Les Miserables. Other than that, I remember feeling this overwhelming urge to tell people about Walker: Texas Ranger and all the deep lessons contained therein.

As I've learned, be ready for a bizarre amount of suspicion from people.

"I do not drink."
"Why not? Have you tried [favourite drink]? You'd like it!"
