Frank Capra's American Madness: History Repeats

Phreezdryd says...

Not having seen the movie can I assume that dirty socialist traitor gets his comeuppance, and we learn a valuable lesson about not letting the commie leftist liberal pinkos mess with good old fashioned American capitalism?

Millionaire drunk driver gets tazed

VoodooV says...

While it's nice to see someone on the other side of the tracks get his comeuppance. I still don't get why they need 4 cops to subdue one person. What happened to all that training?

Want to commit the perfect crime? Find a patsy to run a decoy with a high speed chase or something and draw off hundreds of cops, and while they're off chasing the patsy and looking good for the news helicopters, go off and commit the real crime with zero cops around to stop you.

great series

what kind of work did you do on it? and was it awesome?

an regarding the movie, maybe the franchise will get its comeuppance in the inevitable sequel. hopefully the 8% rottentomatoes rating will mean they put someone else on it.

In reply to this comment by volumptuous:
I worked on the series for about 4 years, and am thoroughly depressed that the execs took our hard work and took a giant shit all over it.

Anti-gay, Anti-black Hate Leader Killed by black teen

entr0py says...

>> ^longde:

White supremacists openly teach hate that leads to murder. This guy ran a school for skinheads, for christ's sake; he was not a mere blowhard. This isn't a simple case of petty namecalling. The tradition of white supremacy that the murdered guy hails from has a long history of maiming and murder.
That doesn't excuse that particular murder, but anyone with that guy's resume is not too far separated from being a murderer or facilitating murder, and he was definitely quite a few levels beyond merely saying rude things to people.</div>


You're right, inciting hatred and violence goes far beyond being rude or typical racism. In trying to make my point I understated how loathsome that guy was, and how serious hate speech is.

I still find the homophobic murder rage more shocking and horrible. It just bothers me that it seems like some people think that was justice or at least comeuppance. The murderer was fine with his neighbor being a huge bigot, it was the discovery that he was gay prompted immediate brutal killing.

"aaaaaaaand what would you say to a Hawaiian who said 'That's just a bunch of folksy nonsense that doesn't have any real substance"

Ahhhh it puts a huge smile on my face to see these morons get their comeuppance on national TV.

alien_concept says...

Thank you scoop, if I ever come across someone who uses the word. If you're trying to point out me having used the word in the title, well it's just a quote fromt he clip and seeing as the racist user of the word gets his comeuppance, I felt it was appropriate

Bill Maher's Interview with a Low IQ Senator - Religulous

chilaxe says...

>> ^Quboid:
Great ending, I was worried the title was flame bait.
A couple of points:
1) I don't think it's established that it's a snake. Pretty sure it's a talking animal so this is a technicality, but that it's a snake is a myth. I think QI covered this and they are actually are beyond question.
2) I don't believe in evolution. OK, I agree in general, but does it explain what it aims to accurately and completely? I very much doubt it. In fact I'd be amazed if the original work wasn't mostly discredited by now, just like much of Newton's work, Einstein's work and so on. Darwin's work was certainly a big step in the evolution of knowledge
If you think about it, it's arrogant to the point of ludicrous to presume this generation has all the big stuff figured it. I'm sure as hell not a Christian or Creationist, I just think science is a work in progress and we're at a pretty early stage. I hope so! I quit Christianity when I grew out of invisible friends, but I didn't become an atheist just to join other zealots. Science is our friend, but keep questioning.

Pun / Ironic choice of phrase intentional.


You might find interesting this fascinating study this summer of unexpected evolution in bacteria cultures in the lab.

It's the first time evolution has been caught in the act of making such a rare and complex new trait.

And because the species in question is a bacterium [with frozen samples every 500 generations], scientists have been able to replay [the history of the 44,000 bacteria generations] to show how this evolutionary novelty grew from the accumulation of unpredictable, chance events.

The study caused a bit of a controversy, with the folks at Conservapedia (like Wikipedia but for blowhards ) finding the study quite offensive: "Creationist critics get their comeuppance," New Scientist.

One Brutal Scene From Pan's Labyrinth

poolcleaner says...

I hate when people forget to include the scenes pay off. The next thing that evil prick does is open the satchel and finds that the peasants were telling the truth: they were simply hunting rabbits.

Also, note, that the two peasants are father and son; so he's hammering in the son's face in front of his father, right before he executes them both. I can almost feel the pain, the humiliation, the pure powerlessness and the need for revenge every single time I see watch that clip.

Fuck. Goddamn it. I need to watch the comeuppance scenes now or I will just be pissed off for the rest of the day.

Aha! Acting!

Still... damn...
