    I remember back when I was still wet behind the ear and was watching MTV while hanging out with a buddy of mind. One of MTV's trademark "Let's hook up a girl with some guys and see which of them "wins out" while we film it and pretend that anybody doing this is actually serious and that this somehow matters" comes on.

    The girl for the day is a complete health and weight freak. Comes across as slavishly devoted to this, to the point that she never really stops working out.

    Guys for the day include; some schmuck, another yokel, and then this guy. This guy's had a bit of a weight problem, but decided to devote himself to the fitness lifestyle some years back and attained an enviable physique. A few more years and some extra protein and he'd legitimately terrifying. As a part of this though, this guy does retain a stocky constitution, as opposed to the narrow hips and broad shoulders of the other yahoos. The narrowing eyes and look of disdain on the Lady of the Day is clearly visible to the viewer.

    Ms. Fit decides to "test" today's lucky contestants on their fitness. Everybody can already tell This Guy's fucked no matter which way he gets measured, he's the sacrificial lamb of the day as it were, though despite the foregone conclusion my buddy and I keep watching. So, through which method will the unwanted be purged?

    By measuring how far their skin stretches.

    Is this even a legitimate medical science? Does it have its own journal with respected publishers and a panel of circulating experts for peer review?

    Because, out of all the possible, conceivable bullshittery on this blue earth, that's gotta be the bullshittest. If there's a journal for this kind of crud I'd like to send them a Strongly Worded Letter for perpetuating the fuckiest of fucky science. How the hell does measuring how far your skin stretches indicate anything other than how far your skin stretches?

    This guy's disqualified, surprising noone, and leaves the show suitably disgraced.

    Proceeding to never again watch MTV, for ten or so odd years running now, was probably the best decision of my life.

    Alright and in this next scene all the animals have AIDS.

    I got a little excited when I saw your ship.

    true fact

    my big sister has written gatchaman fanfic for yeeeeeaaaaaars

    and is a regular in pretty much every english-language gatch community/forum/cult/whatever

    every person who doesn't like an acquired taste always seems to think everyone who likes it is faking it. it should be an official fallacy.

    the "no true scotch man" fallacy.

    I wonder what she thinks of Gatchaman Crowds

    It's got an awfully unique take on superheroes

    I can eat what I want and drop weight to a certain point easily, then it starts getting hard. I would love a truly hard flat stomach but guhhhh the sacrifices

    I appreciate my moms genetics though woo. Sucks we can't just copy that "naturally loses weight easily" to everyone.

    I'm afraid I have to disagree. The best dating show ever is Gay, Straight, or Taken.
    A female contestant goes on a group date at a spa or resort with three men. Shortly after meeting the men, the contestant receives a cell phone call from a woman who advises her that one of the three men is her boyfriend. Moments later she receives a second call from a man informing her that another of the men is his boyfriend. Now she must try to figure out which man is gay, which one is straight but taken, and which one is straight and available.

    During the course of the date, the contestant has the opportunity to spend "alone time" with each of the men, selecting activities which she believes will give her clues as to the sexuality and relationship status of each. At the end of the date, the contestant prepares to announce her decision, but before she can the girlfriend and boyfriend of the two involved men appear on the scene. The contestant then announces which man she believes is gay, which is taken, and which is available. If the contestant correctly chooses the straight and available man, the two of them win a vacation together. If she is wrong, the man she picks wins the trip with his partner.

    It is so much better than you even can imagine.

    i rly helped out this drunk girl on the train, and she was super appreciative

    and her friend was even drunker and was like c'mere and tried to grab my face

    but i was not that drunk and felt like a big lunking sex predator so i pulled a jevon kearse esque shimmy move and got out of there

    then this drunk dude yelled at me like YOU DON'T WANT THAT? he was like 80. i dunno why he was so invested in a stranger drunkenly kissing another stranger

    A drunk girl puked on me once.

    It was the most intimate moment I've ever had with a member of the opposite sex, since her mouth came in contact with my skin.

    One of the cool things about Gatchaman Crowds isn't just that one of the major characters is trans (or just prefers women's clothing most of the time?)

    it's that nobody in the show actually thinks it's a big enough deal to bother bringing up in conversation. One stodgy character's a bit surprised and that's it.

    @Tamin‌

    I see you're watching Chuck. As you watch Chuck, you might have the urge to watch the fifth season. DO NOT DO IT! I know Chuck is charming despite it's flaws. And you're thinking Timothy Dalton is always a hoot. But season 5 is so fucking bad. So if that urge to watch season 5 becomes strong, then find the point where two walls make a sharp corner and smash your head against it till that feeling passes.

    what is

    a gatchaman

    anime from the 1970s

    got imported to the US in the 1980s and sanitized with some of the violence taken out

    teenage group of genetically-enhanced superheroes

    pretty standard fare by our standards but it was the ur-type of that genre

    every person who doesn't like an acquired taste always seems to think everyone who likes it is faking it. it should be an official fallacy.

    i work with a kid who sort of looks like ray liotta. i like to wait until he's throwing something in the garbage- the packaging for pepperoni or some old, stale rolls- and then i scream at him KAREN, THAT WAS ALL WE HAD KAREN

  • OrganichuOrganichu poops peesRegistered User, Moderator mod
    i think back to that scene around joe pesce's mom's dinner table. how great? their explanation. the laugh when they realize the dude looks like billy batts. it's just perfect. fantastic chemistry.

    its also hilarious because my dad wrote a book with a mobster (that didn't get published), but he apparently worked with henry hill and HATED that he got his story told and everyone loved it

    he thought hill was a rat and that his story was way better and etc

    And it was always a delight to see Catherine Scorsese turn up in one of her son's films. She was great in this scene, and again in her cameo in Casino.
