Post a controversial opinion

krang is occasionally funny but hacky as fuck tbh and basically indistinguishable from the thousands of randos adding toppers to his posts. pb is the same but worse

dril rules

i can't understand liking pixelatedboat more than dril tbh

or especially krang ffs

wins otm

dennis perrin vs dril

They are all bad.

somehow also otm

yea

all twitter posts are bad

otm

pixelated boat is good because often enough people who should know better get tricked by his photoshop jobs.

krang and pixelatedboat are not in the same category as dril. they break character all the time, if there even is one. they just read like internet personalities to me, whereas dril or kattwillferrell or DigimonOtis are performance artists.

are rich americans incapable of objectivity?

Read that as "are irish americans incapable of objectivity?" tbh. Tough question.

lol

idk what objectivity has to do with it rly but id be willing to listen

as an aspirational american i'd like to know the impetus for your controp above

you are aspiring to be an american?

yes i've been so inspired by them lately!

lol

Wittiness is frequently tedious.

each vampire weekend album has been worse than the previous

there's a thread for that

There's a board for that

With an ironic title

its quite easy to separate eg Michael Jackson's music from his persona from his crimes against children

cut him some bloody slack, it's not like he hung out with Spiked/Living Marxism writers:p

do you think the same about r. kelly? (srs q)

the well-developed argument (available on ilx threads on the topic) on r. kelly is the fact he revels in the accusations and behaviours in much of his later stuff, so theres a clearer line there between transgression and product

Ted Bundy was not good-looking

Ted Bundy was not good-looking

he was "good looking for a serial killer".

having him played by "good looking for a movie star" Zac Efron in a movie is beyond ridic

being really into true crime is a character flaw

xps looks like if Freddie Mercury took a pic of himself for a dating app

xp it would seem important to cast someone handsome, wasn't that his honeytrap?

Zac efron is totally creepy looking - I’ve never understood his appeal

The Wolf of Wall Street > Casino >>>>> Goodfellas

The Wolf of Wall Street > Casino >>>>> Goodfellas

It's kind of predictable, I guess, that the genuinely controversial opinions itt are also inconsequential.

yeah, come on, I like Casino, but it's the opposite

I can’t abide The Wolf of Wall Street’s glorification of big money rapiers. It’s almost as bad as an Adam McKay movie. it’s the worst film Scorcese ever made in my opinion

ok that's hyperbole, not worse than The Aviator or Shutter Island for sure, but it did bother me

National holidays are disruptive and annoying. Everyone out on the streets in their stupid cars, sucking up all the oxygen when they should be at work or school. Holiday hours when I wanna buy liquor at 10pm. Mail not coming on time because we just gotta have Christmus and NYE so close together. Just give people more pto, you cheap bastids.

psychopathic epic isn't my favorite scorsese mode either but i think his willingness to give the devil his due as glamorously as possible comes precisely from committed faith in the opposite; reminds me of nabokov saying that his "pretty beastly" characters are "like the mournful monsters of a cathedral facade-- demons placed there merely to show they have been booted out"

Gilda Radner is way overrated.

Gilda wasn't so much funny as she was beloved. Her characters all skewed adorable.

The use of any font other than Times New Roman is an affectation

man i love me some serifs but even i think that's going a little far

i do still miss the days when all fonts were monospaced though

You're gonna need to provide context. Use for what? Submitting a manuscript to an editor? I use Georgia when I want serifs, and Arial when I don't. And screenplays are always in Courier New.
