@neontaster Has there ever been another movie whose running box office tally was scrutinized so closely? People post updates like it's the Dow Jones.
Are movie ticket sales the new thermometer for the culture war?
@xwanyex Are you willing to sit down on a couch, express what's bothering you, and listen to a woman explain how you need to man up?
When the conversation ends, are you willing to fork over $200 to the woman?
If you're not experiencing this with a wife, you might need therapy.
@memeticsisyphus I'm not a New Yorker, but would it be uncommon for bodegas to have a 30% markup?
My impression has always been that they do Kwik-E-Mart pricing, like $7 for a Kit-Kat.
@xwanyex I think PG's point captures something.
Think about children growing up in a single-mother household. Are the children worse off because the fatherless environment, or because they're the offspring of an irresponsible parent?
Both are non-zero - I think that's part of his point.
@EsotericCD Discourse on twitter can be so strange.
It's very common for two people to argue about how some third party (voters, moviegoers, investors, etc.) is going to respond to a given event.
Predicting "voters/audiences won't like this" shields one's own opinion from direct critique.
@MattWalshBlog Why would he need translators?
Allegedly, she "disturbed the peace" by how she spoke to him in English.
A ridiculous verdict either way.
@KILLTOPARTY You could sometimes talk a coworker like this into smooshing her jugs onto a Xerox machine.
The resulting copies weren't exactly centerfold quality, but they had their purpose.
@JulieBorowski Some of us never left!
The cute faces, wigs, and costumes all successfully attracted attention, especially on YouTube.
But it's your content that has HELD my attention, and why I follow you on Twitter.
@Templarpilled I never understood the hate for the line. He's comparing the sands of Tattoine with the sugar sand beaches of Naboo. "Everything is better here, even the sand, because YOU'RE here."
I think that's the point of the scene; Anakin has strong feelings but is romantically naive.
@TBYSTweet@OGYoshima Would a Japanese girl know that?
I think Japanese culture is interesting, but I wouldn't know which of its major cities has a happening gay social scene.
