How based was this show? And, do you have faith that the reboot will do any justice to the previous seasons?

Based Ruckus

It's so funny/sad seeing all the dumbfuck retarded Americans on /co/ still cope to this day that McGruder isn't leftist despite being a card-carrying socialist and, well, literally everything about the show and comic…

>>21793
Man I remember that event, it was so fucking funny.

>Alterman walked out. “I turned to Joe and said, ‘I can’t listen to this crap anymore,’” he remembers. “I went out into the Metropolitan Club lobby—it’s a nice lobby—and I worked on my manuscript.”

>Newfield joined in the heckling, as did Stephen Cohen, a historian and the husband of Katrina vanden Heuvel. “It was like watching LeRoi Jones try to Mau-Mau a guilty white liberal in the sixties,” Newfield says. “It was out of a time warp. Who is he to insult people who have been putting their careers and lives on the line for equal rights since before he was born?”

>By the time McGruder had finished, and a tipsy Joe Wilson took the microphone to deliver his New Year’s Resolutions, perhaps half the guests had excused themselves to join Alterman in the lobby. A Nation contributor estimated that McGruder had offended eighty per cent of the audience. “Some people still haven’t recovered,” he said, sounding thrilled.

>“At a certain point, I just got the uncomfortable feeling that this was a bunch of people who were feeling a little too good about themselves,” McGruder said afterward. “These are the big, rich white leftists who are going to carry the fight to George Bush, and the best they can do is blame Nader?”

McGruder rocks.

HD? Fortnine made a good video about them a few years back. They've fucked themselves by not appealing to younger riders - one of their growth markets these days is trikes, because all the fat old men who used to buy cruisers are too old and fat to handle a bike that big. No young people can afford new Harleys, either - mind you, most young people also can't afford Japanese bikes.

Only manufacturer I see with electric bikes in dealerships in the UK is Zero. I heard years ago that KTM were experimenting with an electric Duke, but it obviously never made it into production. I think Royal Enfield might be getting into electric bikes at some point in the future as well, and they could beat the Japanese to it.

I've been into these aesthetically but are they viable for everyday use in the city?
Feels like the only "moto culture" around most parts is just a copypaste of 50s American bikers and 60s brit rockers.

>>40574
This, except I don't own an e-Bike.

I use a Bullet 350 for my daily commute. The safety concerns are there, especially given how little civic sense and disregard for safety and traffic rules my fellow countrymen have, on top of the absolutely dismal state of our roads. I had to spend an absolute fuck ton on safety gear, which I wear all the time I ride despite people sneering at me. Honestly, it's better than being literally stuffed in a bus/local train for over an hour two times a day.

>>40641
My dad had a Bullet 500 Electra X for many years. Riding it was bit like riding a pogo stick, and it could do a maximum of about 85 mph. This was the trials version too, which had slightly more power than the other road-going versions. Still miss it, though; I have fond memories of working on that bike with him on weekends. We did a LOT to that bike over the years.

Still, I prefer commuting by public transport to motorcycle. Warmer (unless the heating is broken, which I've known before) and more comfortable, and allows me to relax a bit before I get to work. If I didn't have to get up an hour earlier and get home two hours later, I'd commute on the bus.

What are your thoughts on the Joker movie? Could it be considered somehow leftist?

this

>>13217
fuck this faggot this joker was based

Arthur has lumpen “consciousness”? and that’s kind of strange to see on film. Also, he did have a job at the beginning of the film but is fired and descends more into mental illness. You don’t normally see terrorists treated sympathetically in western media. I don’t know if I would call it leftist since Joker doesn’t have a coherent ideology and is just acting on vengeful instinct. That said, if shit ever really hits the fan you might have a lot of violent activity from individual actors. The shooting of the bankers snowballing into mass riots seems like a fantasy an anarchist following “propaganda of the deed” might have. I remember police being sent to movie theaters the film was playing in almost like there was an instinctual knee-jerk reaction by paranoid officials to squash people getting funny ideas about copying what they see.

>>40517
Ok bitch.

>>40518
> I don’t know if I would call it leftist since Joker doesn’t have a coherent ideology and is just acting on vengeful instinct.
The whole point of the movie is that he doesn't and what happens is driven by material circumstances rather than some belief system.
>The shooting of the bankers snowballing into mass riots
It's just the spark that ignites the tinder. The whole movie is spent showing conditions in the city deteriorating. Arthur Fleck is just one person experiencing social decay.

Tbh I liked it at first but imo Rick is too much of an unlikable sociopath, Jerry is too pathetic, the show comes off as simultaneously too self-important and too mocking of its fans who overrate it.
Nonetheless it's overrated with absolutely autistic fans, and the whole sechzuan debacle, my God….

>The new guys are fine. You can tell the voices are different if you've watched this far and anyone who says you can't is a coping Redditor, but by the same token only seething Roilandcels would say they hurt the season. It's the writing.
A lot of the content in the show (at least half the jokes) was Justin Roiland riffing in the recording booth. So in a sense it is the new voice actors, or rather it's the gap left by removing the guy they're replacing. People forget that he's not just a voice actor. Him and Harmon were the creators/showrunners. It'd be like trying to do King of the Hill without Mike Judge.

Everything I read said that roiland checked out after season 2 and basically wasn't talking to Harmon or anyone in the later seasons.

Now that the dust has settled, what's your verdict?

Emilia Clarke was at a huge disadvantage since she was trained for stage acting, not screen acting. When you're like 100 feet away from the audience you have to really exaggerate your acting, and it looks like shit when you do it 5 feet from a camera. That's the reason for everything she did being so over-the-top. You have to re-train to act for the screen, and she didn't for a while. She also had two brain aneurysms near the start of the show (between the first 2 seasons IIRC), and that will give anybody a hard time.

Idk what Kit Harrington's excuse is lol.

The stupid asshole never shuts his fucking mouth.

>>40419
>Emilia Clarke was at a huge disadvantage since she was trained for stage acting, not screen acting
Fucking nonsense excuse, some of the best film actors in history began as stage actors. Stage acting is in fact what most modern actors lack.
>When you're like 100 feet away from the audience you have to really exaggerate your acting
No, you don't. That is today's modern take on stage acting and is why most stage plays I've seen in the past decades are fucking trash.
>That's the reason for everything she did being so over-the-top.
The Camera is right there, she's performing on a greenscreen or on a set a few feet away from the crew and director, which would be equivalent to small-stage. To be fair, even if she didn't realize this, the Director's role is literally to stop and correct her and make sure the take goes well, so she's not entirely to blame.
>She also had two brain aneurysms near the start of the show
Ah, I actually did not know that, in which case that at least explains the acting, even if it doesn't make it good.

Kit Harrington is the same as Emilia - modern "stage training" except he doesn't have her excuse of the aneurysms and what not.

I'm not being mean to her, she's probably a nice girl and probably tried her best, but her acting was still over the top.

>That is today's modern take on stage acting and is why most stage plays I've seen in the past decades are fucking trash
And that's the kind she was trained in…
>some of the best film actors in history began as stage actors
Yes and they also learned how to act for the screen.
>Fucking nonsense excuse
No it isn't, when your muscle memory is a certain way you have to train yourself to do it differently.
>she's performing on a greenscreen or on a set a few feet away from the crew and director, which would be equivalent to small-stage
Idk what you mean by this, what theater stage has audience members sitting as close as a camera gets in a closeup?
> the Director's role is literally to stop and correct her
Correct. It's also something where if it's a persistent problem the production should hire an acting coach to help fix it. That doesn't change the nature of what she was doing wrong thoughever.

>that at least explains the acting
Probably she was too busy getting medical attention and recovery to get coaching needed to fix the issue.

>when your muscle memory is a certain way you have to train yourself to do it differently.
Yes and no. For example when Diving you train to breath with the mouth and not push air out through your nose, and unless you've got some problems in reigning yourself in, you can do this by merely staying conscious of the fact and proceeding carefully. The same can apply to acting, especially when she has a director there who should be reminding her of things. That being said, as you mentioned with her aneurysms and what-not, it's excusable in this case.
>what theater stage has audience members sitting as close as a camera gets in a closeup?
There is Small and Big Stage performances. Small Stage is when audiences are often right up close and the performance area is (obviously) smaller and up-close. I've been to a few in my time.
>He has the opposite problem if anything
I suppose in some way yes, though proper facial expression is also a problem I've seen in modern stage performances, either over or under acting a role/scene/character.

The comics were wilder.

The comics were grittier, the originals anyway. Still love the 80s version though… also it holds a special place in my heart just for the fact that Nunchuks depicted in it triggered the Thatcherite British broadcasters.

>>40329
Nu-/co/ is dumb.
03 one was good and closer to the mirage comics in some ways. The 80s turtles are goofy as hell but that’s supposed to be its charm. I like both for different reasons.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/China_Tobacco
<Results suggest that cigarettes in China increasingly resemble those sold in Western countries, but with tobacco containing higher levels of heavy metals. As CNTC looks to export its product around the world, independent surveillance of tobacco product characteristics, including tobacco blend characteristics, will become increasingly important.
2010 article, tobacco bros…its over
I like how OP listed a bunch of fascist corporate "blended tobacco products" LITERALLY DESIGNED to be addictive and cause cancer, and targeted at vulnerable communities like blacks or gays or whoever.
Compare this to the not fully commodified regular tobacco leaves people smoke in pipes, which are admittedly a toxic pesticide, but probably not as cancerous as the "blended additive product".
