From the birth of Too Many Cooks, some people from Adult Swim created another strange video. The video starts out as a takedown of Let’s Players and Twitch streamers. I love the jab at boob-streamers in the second part. Like TMC, it gets a little meta and caves in on itself. I do like this jab at the current gaming culture though.
To even mention all the references would take months. I did like the Tekken, cell phone games ads, and the COD parodies. I think they should do a meta parody of Twitter culture or even bloggers. Hey, wait a minute...
This is a man that should never be pitied. Other than Hambubger, he might be the worst of the TCAP crowd. If he was physically about to, he'd be one of those predators that would kidnap and kill young girls. He's basically the Joker of TCAP. Hambubger is Darkseid.
This guy is one of the worse of predators at the time. Despite his handicap, he was the truest sense of a sexual predator. The man used his handicap to trick people into feeling sorry for him, but he had a server thing for underage girls. As one of the TCAP commenters remarked, D-Mac feels like a villain from a comic book because he pretends to be simple and dumb. And, keep in mind he wanted to "shave down there" on the decoy as if that was one of his normal vices. I get the suspicion that he has preyed on a few girls. To top it off, they discovered tons of CP on his computer they kept him in prison for a very long time. Two different states wanted him after that. He served his time in KY and then spent the rest of his eight years in TN.
As I stated before, his act of "poor old me" is clearly on display during his police interview. He also turns it on a bit when he sees Chris Hansen. He's basically the whole package of being a horrible person. He should never be around anyone under the age of 18 ever. So,got out of prison. What is he up to.
He makes my skin crawl during the TCAP interview. There is a funny moment though. The wrestler that D-Mac mentions in his police interview is Ricky Morton.
Let's just call it what it is. This is Robin Hood Begins: Again. The movie makes no attempt at hiding the fact it is a direct rip-off of Batman Begins. They just removed Bruce Wayne's name from the script and filmed the movie over again. I would give this movie credit for attempting to restart a tired classic character and world, but it fails in almost every fashion. The movie isn’t as much of a mess as the Excalibur movie recently but isn’t that good either.
Didn't we already have a failed Robin Hood movie/franchise attempt a few years ago? Director Otto Bathurst and his band of merry writers created a more “extreme” take than the one with Crowe. Did we need another Robin Hood, but this time aimed at 20-year old guys? I half thought Robin Hood would create the first energy drink in this movie.
Why not do the Sherlock thing and push the story to a modern era? Have the Hood run around with cell phones and what not? That would be a take I'd be interested within the long run.
Like the Excalibur movie from last year, this new Robin Hood is supposed to be new video game take on the old Robin Hood character. The look of Robin Hood is a cross between Arrow and Prince of Persia. Many of the stunts and action moments are inspired by the Prince of Persia game and bit of MGS.
Taron Egerton is a bit bland in the lead role, but he is clearly acting like Christian Bale. he is just not that interested in the role and the least compelling Robin Hood. There was a trend back in the early 2000s of having a bland-good-looking lead with not much edge to them. I get that with Taron.
Jamie Foxx’s performance is a bit troublesome because he is clearly phoning it in here. There are a few moments here and there where Foxx’ charm and humor come out. I like his muted I know he can give a damn and act because I saw Baby Driver. The writers combined the Muslim character from Prince of Thieves and John Little into one character. Morgan Freeman gave the Moor character a bit more charm than Foxx’s take.
It makes sense to have a Moor character in these Robin Hood movies. This movie is so far up its own ass that it wants to make the Middle East scenes look like the Iraq invasion instead.
Guess
who got released from prison? Jeff Sokol, AKA the arrogant guy that
brought a pizza to Hansen's sting. For a strange reason, Sokol is one
of my favorite predators, in a bad favorite way, because he was so
incensed that Hansen cock-blocked him. Then, he had the nerve to eat
his pizza just as his life as falling apart. Despite all the proof of
his crime,
Sokol pleaded not guilty and went through a few lawyers. One of his lawyers finally convinced him into pleading guilty with a plea deal.
He got 30 months.
After
hearing his chatlogs, I hate this guy even more. Despite his police
interview, he comes across as more of a groomer than a nerdy INCEL
loser. He keeps trying to get her to send current photos with her
doing gestures in order to prove she wasn't decoy. Plus, he keeps
mentioning the potential for a police sting. He knew there was a
50% chance of him getting arrested, but he drove 2-3 hours anyway.
I work with a lot
of young people and I am shocked to learn that many of them had any idea about the famous Who's on First routine. I am guessing I am getting old.
While Abbott
and Costello
made the routine famous, this routine would be performed at the road
comedy shows from various acts. It is basically a long-form joke on
a series of words and confusion. You have to one person knows the whole thing and the other has to play the “fool”. The fool has to get progressively angry as the straight man tells the story and explains. By the way,
Abbott and Costello performed the skit differently all the time.
A great number of
people don't realize that
they've seen the Who's on First skit remixed and remade in
various movies and shows.
Way
back in 2011, Sarah Palin made a stupid remark about Paul Reverthat
I still cringe at today. It is one of those factual things she
just made up as spoke to fit her narrative. This is clearly spoken by
someone that doesn’t bother doing any reading or research before
opening their mouth. When even Fox News
called her out, Sarah switched the narrative and rambled on about
something different.
From
Fact checker, ((Palin,
June 2:[Revere]
warned the British that they weren't going to be taking away our
arms, by ringing those bells and making sure as he was riding his
horse through town to send those warning shots and bells that we were
going to be secure and we were going to be free.
))
Nope. He didn't
go around ringing a bell or shooting a gun. Revere's run NEVER had
anything to do with “being secure and free”.
What is
interesting is that Revere wasn't alone in the ride to warn American
fighters and other couriers. William
Dawes
sort of got pushed aside in the Revere ride. And, there as a third
person caught up in the night run. He was literally done getting a
booty call and got involved in the run.
From
wiki,((The
Lexington men dispatched riders to the surrounding towns, and Revere
and Dawes continued along the road to Concord accompanied by Samuel
Prescott,
a doctor who happened to be in Lexington "returning from a lady
friend's house at the awkward hour of 1 a.m."[41][49]
))
Revere is pissed at you, Palin, but loves theBeastie Boys.
Thanks to Kiwi Farms, I’ve been keeping tabs on our favorite INCEL legal eagle Rusty. This trend of sending money and messages to hot girls is not working, yet he keeps doing it. When a woman rejects him harshly, he lashes out with legal threats or victimhood. There comes a point when he needs to learn to stop harassing women and keep to himself. Plus, this gives me a reason to post a photo of three hot women. Thanks, Russ.
I've fallen out
of favor with watching Star Trek Discovery, but I am not really
interested in this new Picard show. Whereas Discovery wanted to walk
all over history, Picard seems to want to embrace what happened
before while pushing a new cast and crew. I like the new cast of
characters with the old faces from Trek. Will we see any DS9
characters?
Anyway, I really
liked the trailer and it surprised me with its appearances of old
favorites. Okay, CBS, I will buy your service during the Picard season. Won't be watching Discovery.
-Picard's
vineyard: Nice connection to the series and movies with the
vineyard. We'll see some Chateau Picard being poured. I also heard
Picard will have a dog. Captain Archer and Kirk had dogs. This
might be a shoutout to Generations.
-Data/B4?: This
is either a figment of Picard's mind due to his mental issues hinted
during All Good Things episode. We see body parts of a Data type
person, but that could be Lore or B4. However, this could be Data's
remains due to the scorch marks, or it could be Lore because he was
damaged too.
-Romulan makeup
upgrade: I like the new Rom makeup. It keeps with the ones in Trek
09, but has a slightly different look. I am guessing we can still
tell Roms and Vulcans apart.
-7 of 9 Returns!:
That was a complete shock to me. I had no idea she was working on
this show. Given her horrible experiences on VOY, I thought she was
done with Trek, but she has returned and looks great. I am
guessing she is more human given that it has been 20-plus years.
-Mysterious
Woman: I honestly think Midnight Night's Edge had it right. She is
the child of Picard and the Borg Queen. This makes sense when you
connect it to the Borg ship and Borg bodies.
When I think of Bill Nye, I don't want to think about sex junk.
After watching a follow-up video on Nye, the vlogger mentioned a music video. And, I scrambled to the Internet to watch this piece of crap. How did I never see this terrible video until now? I honestly don't know if this was supposed to be a parody or a real.
What is up with the 1960 nerd that turns into a "sex junk"? What was the point of that? How about a red neck? This song is so bad that I can't get the song out of my head. I want to download the song and play it full blast in my car.
Did no one even raise their hand and protest? This is terrible.
