    Not sure which I liked more. The "They Live" bit or the last "The Shining" bit. Your vote matters. Libertarian moment.

    It's all comedy gold.

    By the way, you can subscribe to Andrew Heaton and get special content from his podcast The Political Orphanage on Patreon.

        Real men are thieves. Gotcha.

        Ohhh, you mean that to be a juvenile sexual joke! Just when I think you can't get any more stupid you prove me wrong. You're like peak stupid meets calculus. A limit that can't be reached.

            You're so stupid you don't even know what men pay for. Men don't pay prostitutes for sex. They pay them to go away. Sex is easy. Getting her to leave is difficult. Ohhh, you're so hard up you can't get it either way.
            Poor Dlam, so sad. So very sad. Sad, sad, sad. Did I mention you're sad? You're sad.

                I am making 80 US dollars per hr. to complete some internet services from home. I did not ever think it would even be achievable , however my confidant mate got $13k only in four weeks, easily doing this best assignment and also she convinced me to avail.

            Do you know what "special content" means? It's stuff for subscribers. People who pay money to Patreon which then passes it along to the content makers. According to you real men bypass the paywall and get special content for free. Real men are thieves, according to you.

              I never said anything about bypassing paywalls. I enjoy the free content they offer.

                Patreon Patreon PAY- treon. It’s a paywall. Dumbass.

                Edit: comment html is tricky, infinitely more tricky then explaining special content behind a paywall to a certified retard. doesn't like blockquote

                  "“ STOP PUTTING WORDS IN MY MOUTH”!"

                  Calm down, DLAM. This is just a generalization, but some people out there are *so* heavily invested in their self-imposed status as beleaguered victim that when they misinterpret your statements, they just double down on stupid over and over again. Don't hold it against those general people if you ever meet them.

                    Wow. I said "you can subscribe to Andrew Heaton and get special content" and now you also claim the context was the free side?

                    You're not even pretending to be objective anymore.

                      You wouldn't know objective if a sentence was diagrammed.

    Well that bird gun was shit. You are going to need a shot gun for that work. Preferably with a drum magazine.

      Also, I'd like to see a longer clip from "A Quiet Place 2". On that involves mowing down the "bullet proof" aliens with a 0.50 caliber.

      Movie: "But they're bullet proof"
      Person with a brain: "Get a bigger gun! If it's big enough to go through 1 inch of steel, it will go through those critters skin."

    That movie does really hold up.

    I mean, it's no Hell Comes to Frogtown, but with lines like "I'm here to kick ass and chew bubblegum" it is classic.

    Okay, that said I abhored They Live. Didn't really like it as a kid, wasn't sure why. Then I rewatched it as an adult and I figured it out. It's pure leftists propaganda. Anti-capitalist, anti-business, anti-money, etc. Plus the dumbest dialog ever seen outside of a Stephen King movie.

    The only reason we buy stuff is because of billboards? Really?

    Heaton's got the right idea on Survivalism and Prepping, that's for sure!

    Just two little critiques here: 1) you need to show the movie poster reference for more than a fraction of a second, so those who aren't readily able to make the reference can actually see it (I can't even pause it and go frame by frame to see the damn poster) and 2) You need to do a better job with the captions - naturally the dialogue that's quickest and hardest to make out is skipped by the captions. I know the modern concept is to squeeze as much content in as you can in as short an amount of time, but it's hard to appreciate all the nuance when its zipping from one scene to another with virtually no pause.
