Parody of the Avengers "Vote for Hillary" Video
« on: October 04, 2016, 10:43:38 AM »
The Avengers actors made a "vote for Hillary" video (damn you Joss Whedon!).

The GOP PR people actually did something right and made a great parody video:

That is a great parody, funny and right on point.  Worth the watch.
If there really was intelligent life on other planets, we'd be sending them foreign aid.

Conservatives see George Orwell's "1984" as a cautionary tale.  Progressives view it as a "how to" manual.

My wife often says to me, "You are evil and must be destroyed." She may be right.

Liberals believe one should never let reason, logic and facts get in the way of a good emotional argument.

Okay, I started watching the pro-Hillary video.  They talk about not giving Nukes to Trump can call him racist.  Can I just assume they know nothing about Hillary Clinton and all the mean and evil stuff she has done?  Or are they just selectively ignorant?

I think if we protested the creative works of everyone who's a clueless ahole, we wouldn't have much left to watch

I thought it has been common knowledge here for years that joss was a flaming lib who made a great libertarian series.

Me, I will never spend money on his projects ever again.

As much as it pains me I think I'm done with Doctor Who/Sherlock (Moffat) also.

*expletive deleted*ck these 5th column propagandists who are actively engaged in destroying western civilization. I'll go for a walk in the neighborhood or read a book instead.
For the invisible things of him since the creation of the world are clearly seen, being perceived through the things that are made, even his everlasting power and divinity, that they may be without excuse. Because knowing God, they didn’t glorify him as God, and didn’t give thanks, but became vain in their reasoning, and their senseless heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools.

Yep, I pulled the plug a long time ago.  Don't regret it.  I will very, very rarely go see a movie.  The last two I went to a theater and saw were Range 15 and Atlas Shrugged (vol1).  I think the one before that was Blackhawk Down.

No Hulu, Netflix or other streaming media.

If we do get a movie, it's from the library and usually something made prior to 1975.

I refuse to give Hollyweird my money, just to use it against me.
Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.

I couldn't watch the whole parody video; I think I made it about halfway thru.  Then I tried to watch the original and only got about 30 seconds before [barf]

The parody was spot on, I just didn't like it.  Some things are not worthy of being mocked.

You clearly need to read the Monster Hunter Nation blog more often to learn about the publishing industry.  You're better off with Hollywood.

With books, you have thousands of years from which to pick your poison. You don't have to settle for whatever is being pumped out right now, and it's even a little easier to move outside your own language (translated books being less cumbersome than subtitled or dubbed film).

Obviously, you can watch old movies, too, but that archive only goes back about a hundred years. Even then, I think your choice of viewpoints, not to mention content, is going to be much more limited.

Also if you check them out from the local library, rather than purchasing, you prevent certain authors from getting your dime directly...

Most hard copies I buy are used.

While I still occasionally buy books from regular publishers I also buy self published e-books and have downloaded plenty of free classics.
