"So what if it is lazy writing?"
....
Jimmy Gnecco
I’ve never heard another song where the singer sounds so infatuated.
Replies like this really make worry about reading comprehension. In my first post I literally say that the disabled villains is lazy writing. In my first reply I linked an article that points out that villains are far more likely to be disabled.
You and the other poster are so scared that your viewpoint might have to change that you are unable to see what is written and instead see what you want to see. No where have I said that you can’t have disabled villains or that disabled people can’t be bad.
One man is a child rapist so all men must be child rapists?
Maybe? Though I think Sandler casts more on who he gets on with than who will sell tickets. Most of these are smaller parts I think.
What I think is more likely is that Brand’s ego got in the way and he insisted in being the star himself.
Sigh. One google search and you would see that disability and villains is a common complaint:

It’s so common that it doesn’t need citations. There’s no agenda or propaganda here.
By the way, I know it’s easy to sneer when faced with things you don’t like or that you find challenge your world view but opening your mind to the fact that you can be wrong about things will hugely improve your life. Being a contrarian doesn’t make you look smart but small minded.
A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court? That's on my to-read list. I have seen Army of Darkness a while ago. Nice having a present day person in medieval times. I'd love to see more like that. Haven't seen any of the Alien movies but on my to-watch list. Not sure about the last one but not quite as far back as I would like.
Thanks for the suggestions!
Crude oil refinery would not have been difficult to set up. You just need to slowly boil the oil and then collect the different fractions (compounds) as they come out, using a thermometer (which can be easily made using alcohol and a glass tube) to check which is which.
Getting the oil from the ground would have been the problem.
I agree about it being amateur. I thought it was quite clever at first, then I realised they were just copying events and changing them slightly to meet their world. That's not hard to do.
"jewish subversion of a country" what does this even mean lol
The farm animals episode felt like it jumped the shark. I would have stopped watching there and then if it hadn't been confirmed that the next season would be the last.
Season 8 first look - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WwPvpC6lTto
I haven't watched R&M in a while and actually wasn't sure if this wasn't an old Roiland recording at first. Someone in the comments pointed out the raspy-ness is missing and then it became obvious it was Cardoni as Rick. It's still a huge improvement and a lot more watchable.
There's still something about the sentence endings that Cardoni isn't getting quite right, maybe using a rising tone when it should be falling. Makes Rick sound more energetic than suits the character. He's also missing the playfulness of Roiland, who could be quite creative and improve-like in line delivery, using shouting, whispering, stuttering, etc, though Cardoni did manage the burping this time.
Considering this was only a rough draft and the lines will probably be re-recorded, I'm feeling much more optimistic about the next season.
Bleden's Morty is still too squeaky, even worse than last season, but that's not a make or break for me.
The OK Corral episode is “Spectre of the Gun” and the Abe Lincoln one is “The Savage Curtain”.
I've always had a soft spot for that episode as it's the first one I remember seeing. I was confused a bit by the plot (and still was when I tried watching it again recently) but the ending really stuck with me. Imagine having to fight a mad man in way that means that neither of you can win, for eternity, lest the whole universe collapse.
A lot of the bad episodes are like this. They might not work well on screen, but they have a big idea that gets you thinking.
His wedding ring is squeezed under the signet ring. Probably can’t even get it off.
Russell goes wherever he can get attention it seems. He was very left wing about 10 years ago but they won’t have him now.
It’s sad, he came across as pretty sincere during his Trews era. He helped a bunch of people with his Trews cafe and Sweets Way protest. And was pretty introspective in his Booky Wooks and Revolution. He seemed well aware of his own toxic traits.
I can’t tell if he honestly believes all of this right wing stuff or not.
I have seen it said that Jar Jar was better received by people who saw a dubbed version of the film.
