Watching Michael McCarthy get emotional in that post-race interview got me, particularly when he said, "this is for Altadena."

I used to go to the Preakness as a young lad getting wrecked on the infield. Too bad it won't be at Pimlico anymore.

The need for comic book movies to be realistic as possible blows my mind.

Well, look how seriously most people want movies based on biblical stories to be portrayed.

Are you meaning to tell me that bearded hippie raised a staff and DIDN'T park an entire fucking sea?!

Spoiler

Reed Sea...not Red Sea

There's a difference between "realistic as possible" and overcoming the "willing suspension of disbelief." Clearly your disbelief is more easily suspended.

I love Sharnado because I enjoy how ridiculous it is.

I hate most hacker movies because I do cybersecurity for a living.

It's not that simple (my parents and sister complain on me about the opposite of what you clearly see).

Think about this for a second...if we really did make this realistic enough to overcome unwilligness to suspend belief, the flash would still disintegrate from friction, so would quicksilver.

I mean, at some point the more grounded you make it, the closer you get to the realization you kinda have to suspend disbelief sometimes or it's impossible to enjoy.

Sometimes you need to bend the rules of what's possible to help digest what's not from time to time.

I love Gravity...that's not how it would go despite their best efforts to make it plausible.

If I want to watch a documentary I'll turn on Youtube (which I do a lot).

Looks like about 30 million people are having sex right now. 4 billion are sleeping.

Ugh, are they doing Rolling Thunder again? Fuck those people.

Probably in to the one that has the Berenstein Bears and a cornucopia in the Fruit of the Loom logo.
