  • I honestly don’t know if that makes it better or worse.

    Like…imagine being the director.

    “OK Ray, now this is where the ghost is going to edge you, and tease your balls with her tongue. Obviously we can’t show your balls, so make sure to express it with facial cues! Aaaaand ACTION!”

    Then they review the footage, and decide not to use it. And Ray is like “WHAT THE HELL MAN???” And the director is like "Oh. Yeah. That was just a goof. Bill Murray dared me to see how long I could get you to do that scene for and waste your time.

    And just think. There is a non-zero chance that footage still exists, and could be discovered some day. I remember in 2017 they found some long lost silent film era films. So there is a chance that one day they’ll release the directors cut of the BJ scene.

    And by then, we’ll probably all be dead. And kids born 50 years from now will be confused by films from the 1980s.




  • I still find it upsetting that nowhere in the ghostbusters lore have they ever touched on why a ghost randomly gave Ray a blowjob, or how he knew to let it happen.

    Like…first off. HOW was that in a kids movie??? Secondly, it’s just there. Like the ghost knew Ray wanted it, and Ray knew to let it happen. Then the movie just moves on, and other than Ray being embarassed to explain he had it happen, it’s never mentioned again.

    And speaking of not making sense…the second movie starts off with the city of NYC not believing in ghosts. They JUST had a 50 foot marshmellow man make global news a few years earlier! It would have made more sense for them to be out of business because they think all the ghosts have been busted, and therefore nobody hires them. Instead, we see people snickering and calling them crockpots.

    Just imagine if in 2008 nobody remembered 9/11 and called TSA crazy for thinking planes could be hijacked. Thats the level of news coverage a 50 foot tall marshmellow man destroying NYC would get.

    And and and!!! What about at the end of the movie when they cross the streams, and blow up a building in NYC, but are somehow perfectly fine afterwards? And then Winston yells I LOVE NEW YORK!!!

    Why did he yell that? That makes no sense! The mayor spent the whole movie trying to shut you down. The citizens treat you like criminals. The city has attracted an invasive species of afterlife spirits that seek to kill you. You just attempted a move that had a 50/50 chance of destroying the universe. And AFTER surviving a massive bomb on the roof of a building, you randomly yell that out.

    Ya know what? Winston had a concussion. I’m going with that. It’s the only thing that makes any sense. He’s suffering from a concussion and doesn’t know what’s going on.

    So how’s your guys day going? I’m doing fine as you can see. I’m clearly not a lunatic.



  • I have no political experience. But I’m about at the point where I’m ready to start a new political party where I never say a word. I only show up, and give the middle finger. Every debate, every opponent, every issue, every question. You never hear my voice. I just give the middle finger. To everyone. And then get elected president…and give all the world leaders the middle finger.

    My platform promise is “Bacon.”

    No further elaboration or context.



  • Never heard of either of these projects.

    Time is the only thing that will be a minecraft killer.

    40 years ago, Super mario bros was the most impressive most popular game ever. Now, today, it still exists, but would you even BEGIN to play Super Mario Wonder in the same catagory of pop culture influence as Super Mario Bros 3?

    There will come a day when minecrafts users become too old to care. But it won’t be because another game does it better.

    Improvements don’t kill a culture. Apathy kills culture. Minecraft is less of a game and more of an entry in pop culture.




  • There was a point in the 1980s where PC games fully allowed and encouraged you to copy your games for backup purposes. They even had some companies who gave detailed steps explaining how.

    What ended up happening is you owned a PC, your buddy owned a PC. You made two backups of the game. One for you, and one for your buddy. Now between the two of you, you buy half the games, because you buy one, your buddy buys a different one. And now you both have two games.

    Now multiply that by however many friends you knew who owned PCs. You might buy 1 game, but own 15 games.

    By the 90s, PC game makers did a 180, and were now trying to prevent archiving of their games, but it was too late. Laws had been written to allow for backup of personal data. Yes, you WERE breaking the law by giving your buddy the backup, but they couldn’t prevent you from creating the backup.

    And in a pre-internet world, how would they ever even know you made a backup?
