@ElMichel Eso me recuerda a un compañero de la mili. Un día le pregunté: «Oye, ¿por qué te llaman Perico, si no te llamas Pedro?» «¿Eh? Porque… ¿soy del Espanyol?» «Ah, claro. Tiene sentido.» No lo pillé hasta años después.
@vaartis Do you recommend it (Unity, I mean)?
@ElMichel Un amigo y yo solíamos discutir por quién era el peor (en el sentido de más malvado) personaje de la historia del cine. Él decía que Masala, el de Ben-Hur; yo, que la enfermera Ratched.
Es verdad que Masala era un hijo de puta, pero al final no consigue nada. La enfermera Ratched, en cambio y sin entrar en detalles, sí.

@cwdolunt I don’t know. Maybe Orson didn’t hold any grudges against Wise, or maybe he needed the money to complete The Other Side of the Wind.or any of his other unfinished projects.
In all the interviews I’ve read, he blames the studio more than Robert Wise himself, though. Actually, he’s more critical of cinematographer Stanley Cortez. Wise is barely mentioned, if at all.
@cwdolunt You can’t expect a good movie from someone who launched his career by betraying Orson Welles. (And, yes, I’m familiar with Robert Wise’s filmography and accolades. He still just a sellout in my book.)
The Wrath of Khan is much better, because you can always expect good movies from someone who went on to direct The Day After.
@kingu_platypus_gidora Those two words, “some men”, make the tweet (and, by extension, the whole research) inane and useless. Of course some men will do some crazy shit. There’s people for everything.
@hfaust There’s also something nice about showing other people places you’ve discovered on your own.
@hfaust Maybe it is, but I still enjoy it.
@kingu_platypus_gidora I’m usually there alone, and, for my particular case, it’s mostly accurate, except for the fact that I’m even closer to the stage. That said, the blob is too big. I normally am the only one there.
But you’re right: very few teenagers around.
@ElMichel Tiene que ser muy molesto no poder ni ver a quien tienes enfrente porque alguien haya decidido que queda muy bonito llenarlo todo de flores.
Eso, y que el olor te impide disfrutar de la comida. (Aunque peor sería poner flores de plástico, por lo cutre.) Si algo nos ha enseñado el funeral gitano este, es que los ingleses no saben organizar nada como es debido.
@mangeurdenuage At some point, he (honorary she?) will understand that manliness has nothing to do with height.
@mangeurdenuage Why? It wasn’t even that successful, as far as I recall. And I don’t think it was aimed at women either.
@ElMichel Si no es que han liberado a Julian Assange, entonces me importa una puta mierda.
@RL_Dane I’d say Slackware is the distro that checks all those boxes best, including being the most BSD- or UNIX-like one.
Disclaimer: I’ve been using Slackware since 1999, so I’m biased.
@kingu_platypus_gidora Being a Cyanide and Happiness strip, ending on a happy note feels kind of creepy.
@mangeurdenuage So… it’s not bigotry when a woman does it?
@urusan Why would anyone do something like that? I, for one, even feel uncomfortable taking pictures in crowded places.
@urusan Governments and corporations (hence corporate government) surveil us all.
