    The more interesting tidbit is that this is actually pretty common. The prop house using real skeletons was actually pretty common and not unique to this production. The notable thing about this film was the sheer number of skeletons that they used, so they basically scooped up everything that was out there, and how much the live actors actually interacted with the skeletons. It wasn’t particularly unusual for skeletons to be used as props.

    Really, just about any time you saw a skeleton on screen before the 90s or so, it was probably real. A lot of real world props and decorations also used real skeletons, sometimes to the surprise of the people using them. For example, if you rode the original Pirates of the Caribbean ride at Disney Land, you saw real human skeletons.







  • I think there is a bit of a hard limit on how much you can do with a show like this. Every single character has been “flanderized” (a term literally FROM the simpsons) to a point where they are complete one-dimensional caricatures, they have run out of organic stories from within the universe so they have to increasingly pull stories from the real world, but because its a network family show they have to make their conclusions “balanced” and that doesn’t work in a world as polarized as ours actually is.

    That is why South Park still works, because it has a smaller audience and doesn’t have to pull a “balanced” view, they can actually take a position that would never fly on network television and therefore retain the approval of, at least, their core audience. The Simpsons has to keep from making anyone in the audience ANGRY and so therefore they cannot really please anyone either.




  • His competition bowed out because the DNC pulled funding because something made them not worry about this guy being too progressive, his “reasonable excuse” is an obvious lie, and you are running on pure pathetic hopium because you are too fucking lazy to hold the party accountable for its part in this.

    THIS is why we are here. People like you with your eyes closed just going along because doing anything else is just too hard. Remember this conversation in a year when you wonder how this happened.


  • I am responding to statement that his posts on reddit somehow prove that he isn’t a nazi, which is an absurd claim to make about a person that made those posts with a totenkopf drawn on his chest.

    I am not sure what you are saying about “the primaries” but Platner is getting the party nomination without having to actually run in a primary. He is the only candidate from the party and will be on the ticket without a single person voting for him ahead of the election. Running unopposed candidates without a primary has worked out great for the DNC so far.

    But yeah, I guess we get to do the experiment to see if a weak republican can lose to a nazi and if that somehow results in things being better for us.

    Fun. I kinda thing the stakes are too high to be playing this game right now, but here we are.
