    So I explained what extended cut meant.

    And then annoyed him by humming all the musical cues when they turned up.

    Also, if you ever listen to the dude listing all the crimes Tuco is being hanged for, it's hilarious.

    I enjoy having The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly on in the background while I work. Very atmospheric.

    I feel similarly about Blade Runner and There Will Be Blood.

    Done with 'rents dinner. @Apothe0sis re discourse, I may have overpromised. I think you already basically know what I think. Right now my three things are:

    1) Glorious edict is essential. I've been around a couple other places where shit-flinging is par for course and it's utterly toxic and awful.

    2) I have generalized wariness against decisions to place certain viewpoints out of bounds. Athens murdered Socrates etc etc

    3) re the feminist discourse bit, I'm similarly wary about people who want to self-appoint as the czars of acceptable conversation, and similarly wary of the self-serving ways that people can use the new ethos to be jerks (I snark u, etc).

    Also, this critique is difficult to make in public because it is absolutely imperative that 3 should not be taken as a disavowal of feminism. Smash the gender system.

    In terms of how this relates to PA: PA strikes me as having a pretty healthy forum community. There are people who disagree with me about 2 and 3, but because of 1 we're typically able to have pretty civilized arguments about it. I would be a total hypocrite in holding 2 if I weren't also willing to have civilized arguments about it.

    My least favorite thing is probably the propensity to lean into Lolpublicanism. I'm about as red as they come, but I still find typical lolpublican posting to generate more heat than light. But I can avoid that by largely skirting the active politics threads.

    Also [chat] is wonderful and I <3 u all brosephs and brosephinas!

    Unless the US scale is taking the idea that far enough to one side brings you all the way back around to the other side. So Democrats are blue and kinda right wing by everyone else's standards and the Republicans are so right wing they circle right around to be the USSR.

    Huh I just learned the term "white van men"

    That is a thing that is rather strange from an American POV because most of our tradespeople drive trucks of various colors and they are not singled out as a particular annoyance on the roads.

    As all right thinking people do. He and Leone grew up together and there are few directors who got such perfectly fitting scores.

    Yeah, just an arbitrary choice the networks made and it stuck.

    Edit: The really strange thing is, the phrase "blue-dog Democrat" pre-dates the 2000 election and uses the color blue to signify conservatism, like the rest of the world.
