Starbucks Coffee - Random Topics
Such people would be Starbucksologists. It's like Scientology, but instead of donating to reach higher levels, people must buy coffee. -- Submitted By: (Robert) on October 6, 2011, 8:59 pm

MADD (Mothers Against Drunk Driving) - Random Topics
I see what you mean, IRBloom. I was criticizing this woman, not MADD itself, for her drunk driving. But she deserves the criticism. Imagine I found an anti-hunting organization. Wanting to go further, I push to ban guns, hunting equipment, and more. Eventually, I quit the organization. Later, I go to Africa, where I bag myself an elephant. Even though I'm no longer a member, I did something I preached relentlessly against--and even criticized others for doing. I also used something I tried to have banned (For MADD, alcohol; for me, guns). Back to this woman, she endangered others while driving intoxicated, which is more serious than hypocrisy. Nobody would dare defend drunk driving. Unfortunately, many groups with seemingly noble goals are really in it for the money. -- Submitted By: (Robert) on October 6, 2011, 8:57 pm

Resident Evil (film) - Movie Series
It's like some sick tradition that movies based on video games must be written by someone who's never actually played them. The best example? The live-action Street Fighter movie (the 1994 flick). They got so much wrong. E. Honda comes from Japan, NOT Hawaii. DJ is not one of M. Bison's lackeys (neither is Zangief!). Dhalsim is NOT a scientist. Blanka's true identity sure as heck is NOT Guile's friend Charlie. Balrog is one of M. Bison's top warriors (NOT one of the heroes). Had they actually played the game (or at least had a Street Fighter fan as an adviser), it could have been half-decent. I've heard the Chun Li movie is worse, but since I haven't seen it, I can't say for sure. -- Submitted By: (Robert) on October 4, 2011, 7:43 pm

Nobel Peace Prize - Random Topics
As if the Nobel Peace Prize couldn't be any more of a farce, Ralph Steinman is the winner. What's so bad about this? He's dead...and the rules say the award can't be given to a dead person! http://www.cnn.com/2011/10/03/health/nobel-prize/index.html -- Submitted By: (Robert) on October 4, 2011, 7:40 pm

MADD (Mothers Against Drunk Driving) - Random Topics
Sorry. But if you're going to criticize something, you'd better practice what you preach and not do it yourself. Being a former member does not excuse your behavior. For the record, I posted this as a "do as I say, not as I do", rather than a boning moment. -- Submitted By: (Robert) on October 4, 2011, 7:39 pm

I'm not a Buddhist, but if I saw Buddhists meditating and reciting mantras at Starbucks, it wouldn't bother me. -- Submitted By: (Robert) on October 4, 2011, 7:37 pm

Good news: they aired Snow White recently! Bad news: classic movies of this caliber occur only once in a blue moon. -- Submitted By: (Robert) on September 15, 2011, 8:28 pm

Pelirojo...that would be icing on the cake. I hope it's not asking for too many miracles at once. -- Submitted By: (Robert) on September 15, 2011, 8:17 pm

And now, there's a fourth movie on the way. Going the path of The Land Before Time, eh? -- Submitted By: (Robert) on September 15, 2011, 8:14 pm

Looney Tunes Show, The - TV Shows
In the mid-2000s, a cartoon named Loonatics Unleashed was in the works. Many people, myself included, were not happy with their retooling of the classics. "Leave the classics alone!" we shouted. They tried to assuage our fears by saying these new characters were descendants, rather than remakes of Bugs and his friends. To an extent, it worked, but still, it was hard to shake the cloud of knowing one day our beloved characters would have these guys in their family tree. Then came the Looney Tunes Show. Everything we worried that Loonatics would do to our classic characters? It happened here instead. It's like WB was giving a big F-you to everyone who stood up for the classics. -- Submitted By: (Robert) on September 15, 2011, 8:14 pm

Star Wars - Movie Series
That's the conclusion I came in regard to Vader not knowing he had a son: naturally, he'd think he lost his unborn child(ren) when Padme died. Nobody knew Padme was carrying twins until after they were born, so naturally, Vader couldn't have known he had Luke AND Leia. Certainly, word would spread that Padme gave birth before she passed on; in time, that word would reach Vader. He wanted to meet his son, but only to gauge his strength and lure him to the Dark side. -- Submitted By: (Robert) on September 15, 2011, 8:12 pm

The MLB forbade players from wearing hats in honor of 9/11. NYC forbade any members of the clergy, religious groups, police officers (WTF?!), or fire rescue (Double WTF?!) from attending the 10th anniversary of 9/11. What is this world coming to? -- Submitted By: (Robert) on September 15, 2011, 8:10 pm

I agree. I also notice they haven't had any character battles lately. -- Submitted By: (Robert) on September 3, 2011, 2:35 pm

Flintstones, The - Movie Series
I just saw the movie recently, and would like to readdress my previous comment. The movie wasn't HORRIBLE, but it wasn't good, either. However, compared to a lot of other movies based on classic shows, this one is a gem. -- Submitted By: (Robert) on September 3, 2011, 2:17 pm

I don't remember this clip. It's a pity they listened to Bart, rather than Homer. -- Submitted By: (Robert) on September 3, 2011, 1:41 pm

Alvin and the Chipmunks (Live action/CGI film) - Movie Series
It was a bad idea to make the movie in the first place. It was worse that they made a sequel. Now, they're planning a THIRD movie. -- Submitted By: (Robert) on September 3, 2011, 1:36 pm
