    If you killed your liver by 20, I don't think you should be on the transplant list.

    You don't get on the list. I'm pretty sure they refuse addicts spots on the list because they have a high risk of fucking up their new organs and they could go to someone else.

    I'm pretty sure this doesn't apply to rich or famous people though.

    really, anyone with influence will probably get an organ.

    Its disgusting. I mean I know the nature of shit, but the way healthcare is up for the highest bidder is god damn scary.

    Tylenol causes liver damage.

    Right, and someone who fucks up their liver with tylenol because they're using it much more than the list people deem necessary will probably not get another liver.

    Besides which, I'm pretty sure telling someone who fucked their liver up with acetaminophen to use ibuprofen will work a lot more consistently than telling someone who fucked their liver up with alcohol to stop drinking.

    The Spirit was a great movie when I was in University and soulcrushingly homesick, which I saw multiple times in theaters over winter break

    after dropping out, coming home, perking up and buying the DVD it became apparent the movie shines brightest when every other aspect of the viewer's life is dark as Morgan Freeman's asshole.

    I wouldn't call The Spirit "great" so much as "hypnotically terrible."

    wasn't TAS kind of film noiry?

    Not sure what TAS is.

    Batman: The Animated Series

    Looks a bit like it, though I'm not very familiar with the show.

    To be honest, Batman was always the most compelling of the classic super heros, especially when they played up the vigilante/not always quite a perfect good guy thing.

    He's like the opposite of so many things that bug me about superman. Superman is too perfect, too over the top. And while I get that's sort of the point I could never get into it.

    Metropolis bothers me a little. For a city supposedly rife with crime of a calibre that requires the aid of an invulnerable demi-god everything is too shiny and clean. It's a lot of white on blue colouring, bright and untarnished buildings and people, and then the odd thug dumb enough to pull something emerges like a rat that's managed to climb its way out of the Howard Hughe's sterile shower drain. Even Superman's nemesis looks like Mr. Fucking Clean.

    Tylenol can cause liver damage even at the recommended dose.

    I'm having trouble finding evidence of that, all I can find says that overdoses are one of the leading causes of acute liver failure, which is somewhat different from chronically damaging it with ethanol.

    And again, there is likely a serious difference in prognosis of someone given a liver transplant and told to use a different painkiller and a heavy drinker given a liver transplant and told not to drink.

    In order to cause liver damage with tylenol, you have to overdose really badly. You'd never get that far trying to use it as an analgesic, it has to be an intentional overdose or a really bizarre unintentional one, like, mistaking tylenol for M&Ms or something.

    Yeah, but there's run-of-the-mill awful where you just sit there, bored and vaguely annoyed.

    Then there's The Spirit awful where you're stunned into watching since you cannot comprehend how such a multi-car pileup of a movie ever got made, let alone released by a major movie stuido.

    It's like Frank Miller had about five different ideas for what the tone of a Spirit movie should be, filmed all of them, and edited them together at random.

    It's funny, I picked up this trade paperback full of stories of The Spirit done by Will Eisner fans and colleagues, and none of them were anything like Frank Miller's film. The Spirit was not an invincible zombie(?), nor was his nemesis the Octopus, and there wasn't any ultra violence. He was a lot more like the Green Hornet except poor and lacking the cool sidekick.

    It's kind of amazing

    Frank Miller has spent literally his entire career talking about how big an influence Eisner was on him and his career and he took his one golden opportunity to show Eisner off to the world and instead inserted all his own fetishes and weird shit instead

    Here is a comic that does in one page what Miller failed to do in a two-hour movie:
