  • I've watched Clerks and Dogma. I think I've gotten the full Kevin Smith experience at this point.

    I’ve only seen two Kevin Smith movies in my time: Zack & Miri Make A Porno and Cop Out.

    I think that 'Clerks', 'Chasing Amy' and 'Dogma' are easily Kevin Smith's best films.

    'Mallrats' and 'Zack and Miri Make a Porno' are entertaining enough.

    'Jersey Girl', 'Clerks II' and 'Red State' are pretty bad.

    'Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back' and 'Cop Out' are abysmal.

    I feel odd....like the first and last time I had a seizure and blacked out...but milder.

    I'm starting to wonder if there's something going on that isn't just nerves and anxiety. I've come close to this again within the past two months around three times, counting now.

    My head is cold and lightheaded and there's a feeling in my stomach like I have to go to the bathroom but I don't.

    EDIT: Google is telling me I have low blood sugar.....uh oh....

    Stopped watching that video within seconds because the description immediately called the studio audience a laugh track.

    That much they definitely will, I admit.

    I hear people say all the time that people like the guys on The Big Bang Theory don't exist. It's very saddening news that I don't exist. I'm still not sure how to cope with that fact.

    Also, people need to stop saying that Sheldon has Asperger Syndrome. He doesn't. All that does is piss of people who actually have Asperger Syndrome.

    I wouldn't say that people like the guys on the Big Bang Theory don't exist... but I will say that, as an actual scientist at Caltech, there is NO way they have that much free time. No frickin' way. Not without losing all their funding. MAYBE Sheldon, because he's not an experimentalist... but the rest? Nope.

    This leads me to wonder how Clerks III and Hit Somebody will turn out.

    A nation where, in his words, "every soldier will have his place, and where they will answer to no government" which can be seen as him believing in a variation of Anarchy, thus contrasting the total control of society as displayed by the Patriots, wishing for every individual to be "free.

    Over and over again the standard of "Outer Heaven" would be raised in defense of those who suffered due to the machinations of the Patriots.

    "You saw those children, didn't you? Every one is a victim of a war somewhere of the world. And they'll make fine soldiers in the next war. Start a war, for its flames, create victims... Then save them, train them... And feed them back onto the battlefield. It's a perfectly logical system. In this world of ours, conflict never ends. And neither does our purpose... our raisond'etre."


    While its clear the Patriots are evil and needed to be stopped Big Boss was no angel and his idea of a world in total war "Outer Heaven" was just as oppressive as The Patriots ideals.

    I'm announcing a short novel fan fiction about Superman, Batman, Lex Luthor and The Joker.

    The aim of this work is to answer a few specific questions as well as make certain points.

    Lex Luthor and Batman are, inherently, the same individual.

    Why does Lex Luthor do the things he do? What is the driving motivation behind his actions?

    Why is The Joker the most sane individual you could ever encounter?

    Why this quote by Batman, "It is a remarkable dichotomy. In many ways, Clark is the most human of us all. Then...he shoots fire from the skies, and it is difficult not to think of him as a god. And how fortunate we all are that it does not occur to him." Is absolutely and entirely wrong.

    How do you beat a God whom you cannot destroy?

    Why all four men are inherently working within the same box and mindframe.

    in the justice league cartoon batman reveals that he has a plan for killing/subduing each member of the justice league just in case the power they have ever goes to their head, like in the alternate reality where superman lobotomizes villains with his laser eyes and takes over the world, i like that about batman that he fears the corruption that can come with power and he is so paranoid about it he has planned for it

    I believe you mean in the Justice League comic, where it was critically praised years before the plot point was directly lifted for the cute little cartoon for children.

    But Batman IS part of the corruption from the perspective of someone like Luthor, who observes individuals acting outside the scope of societal norms and law as being corrupt. Luthor is inherently about societal order and organization, the triumph of the corporate body as opposed to Joker, who is about triumph of the self or individual. Batman is less a player in ordered structure than Superman, since Btman is willing to bend and break laws that he sees opposing moral justice, but to Joker both are still playing by the rules. Even Joker, to his great madness, is playing by the rules, and his behavior is partly driven by his desire to transcend them.

    yeah, the alternate reality (older) batman thinks the way batman interrogates people is too soft and he basically just beats the shit out of people, batman is definitely corruptible but he is still only human and that gives him an advantage over the superheroes he works with

    In terms you may actually be able to understand:

    It's like saying someone has a distinctive scar, like Harry Potter in the Sorcerer's Stone movie, or that a vehicle can travel through time like the DeLorean in the Back to the Future cartoon. It's silly.

    Don't be a dick. You started the shit by using childish terms to degrade his comment. Back off.

    well it isn't an exact recreation of the comics, the whole build up and presentation is different it just uses story elements from the comic.

    and they do have different enough scars to use them as separate examples

    Well... that would give you hydroxide, which is a base and would likely eat through all your internal organs.

    You'd definitely be thinner afterwards. Terminally.
