@EveyJacob Part of me wants to look up old Boondocks comic strips. There was a whole arc a few months after Phantom Menace came out about convincing a superfan to sue George Lucas over how bad it was. There's also season 2 of Spaced. And so many other things.
@ceruleanheaven In my mind, he used one of the wads of money to bribe someone at the tomato canning facility to do him a favor. I'm fairly certain that's not what actually happened, but it's how I always view the scene.
@Paimoneee@imbethmccoll Very true. Honestly, I spent a good amount of the film thinking he was supposed to be the villain. Virtually every action he takes, further cements his role as an abusive asshole. Then suddenly... Wait, was this considered romantic back then?
Simple. Get Tony Stark. Stark puts in a call to Bruce Wayne. "Your friend has gone evil again." They negotiate a deal for some of Bruce's stash of Kryptonite. Bring in the rest of the free tier to keep Superman on his toes. They brawl, they beat him, I spend the $10 on shawarma.
@ch1ckenrat Saving this meme to show to all those annoyingly pedantic people who say things like, "Umm, actually, moonlight is just reflected sunlight, so that should kill vampires too!"
@DaultRadio Frankly, I kind of like the idea of Jesus and the apostles having a movie night, and I'd be interested to find out what films they WOULD choose. Does Jesus multiply the popcorn and turn water into Diet Sprite?
@mrswamsbsgans It does sound awesome. Though looking it up, the two examples he gives are literally just the first two letters mentioned in the book's description, so it may also be performative.
But it's hard to tell either way from just that snippet, without any further context...
I need you all to know, there have been flying cars since 1917 - and plenty of models since. The reason they've never "taken off" (pun intended) is because they're impractical, expensive, and serve no real purpose beyond, "Look! Flying car!" As this video clearly demonstrates.
