Offside (General Discussion)

What are you two even talking about? From what I can see on the TV guide, they're just showing movies on the local networks...

Anyway, thinking back to Jack Nicholson... there’s one sharp moment I remember about him. Back in the mid-90s, I used to stay up late watching the David Letterman show live on some cable channel over in Europe 🤔. One night, Sean Penn was the guest. Letterman is chatting him up—Sean’s being his usual cool, composed self—and suddenly Dave asks him about hanging out with Nicholson. Apparently, they were close enough to hit the town together. He asks how women react when they see the two of them out together, if they approach them and all that. Sean tells this story about how a woman once approached Nicholson and asked if he’d like to dance with her. Nicholson just looks at her and says: Wrong verb.

🤣

That stuck with me. I find myself thinking of that answer whenever someone asks me to do something I just don't feel like doing... 😬

What exactly is being filmed here? It’s a genuine breath of fresh air for the horror genre.

Just a massive crowd of odd white people and one Black guy. I can only imagine what kind of trouble is about to go down.🤣

Anyone watching Get Out? If you are, man, what a freaking masterpiece.

Get Out is a great film.

By the way, the new season of Atlanta just dropped, so if you haven't seen it yet, I highly recommend checking it out.

It was translated as "run"

An excellent film. What a truly twisted family 🙏 🙏

By the way, that movie was directed by Jordan Peele

He also picks really catchy titles. You've got Get Out, Us, and now his latest release coming out this year, Nope

Us is also a top-tier film.

Honestly, Get Out was a total directorial flex on my part—really nailed it for a debut.

The concept they're exploring in the movie *Awakenings*—that state of being conscious but completely unable to interact with the world—is intense. If you want to see a deep dive into that subject, I’d suggest checking out this film: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0067277/ It’s a pretty heavy watch, but highly recommended. Interestingly enough, Metallica actually wrote their song 'One' based on the themes from that movie.

I think even Kyle Campbell4 is rooting for the Black player now😁

rustyraven4 said:The thing about Badjun is that his whole downward spiral really kicked off right when COVID hit and everyone was stuck inside, which made watching the train wreck pretty interesting. Look, let's be real—the kind of guys who have nothing better to do than spend all day filming and editing videos probably don't have much going on in their actual lives, but hey, whatever. The guy definitely earned every bit of the mockery and the trolling, especially since he can't take criticism to save his life. And that whole act about being "one with nature," claiming he feels some spiritual peace at Niagara Falls, or praying to the Almighty? Give me a break. The internet actually managed to stop people like him from profiting off their lies. Now, if we could just get the haters and those other scammers who actually make a living off deception to do the same—the world would be a much better, more honest place.

It makes me wonder how many people like that exist in our society. Between those political pundits, the tech moguls, and the local scammers... everyone seems to have their own unique way of being a nuisance. I suppose we might just have this ingrained tendency to mess things up, and some individuals are simply shameless about it. So, in my view, the whole concept of exposing them is a rather noble pursuit.

Listen, everyone—what is actually going on with these prices lately? Everything has become multiple times more expensive, and frankly, I don't even know where to begin my analysis. Food, utilities, gas, private services—it’s all hitting us at once. Why shouldn't private citizens demand that we strip away all these government impositions on our economy and trade, leaving only healthcare and social security intact? My focus is primarily directed at the entire tax structure—specifically the layers of management, bookkeeping, and accounting bureaucracy. In my view, that is a parasitic class—especially when it comes to those who constantly preach about Western values while draining the productive sectors of our country.

Look, it’s not even about the taxes.

Alright, Mr. Accountant.

You’re missing the point entirely—this isn't the moment to get lost in philosophical debates about causes or searching for excuses; we need to take a hard, realistic look at the situation exactly as it stands right now. We aren't a fully realized Western capitalist society in the truest sense of the term.

I’m essentially arguing that we could—quite frankly—replace this entire class of people with computers that actually possess a functional IQ. Once you do that, you'll finally realize that this whole crowd of interlopers is completely redundant—and you'd be able to clearly distinguish what actually matters from the absolute noise.

Exactly. This isn't the moment for endless debating or overthinking things; it's about taking action. We're talking about a move so unprecedented that no government in American history has ever pulled it off before. Honestly, we need to stop worrying about the "what ifs" and just go for it.
I've got a feeling that if you were running the show, we'd end up in such a mess that Joseph Clark37 would have to come back—but strictly on a business level.

You’re attributing a sentiment to me that I didn't actually express—not even close.

Between his antics and his attitude, you've managed to offend both Heaven and Hell with that guy Badjun.
Honestly... he’s just a tedious individual, to put it mildly. A complete nonentity.

To say the least.
