DARE.

Truth or dare?

Kind sir, thank you. Is it removable or strap-able? Otherwise, I might have to cut it off. I hope the offer still stands.

I'd offer you a ride, but unfortunately I do not possess a di--

Well, I'd again like to re-phrase it as myself displaying forward thought and cognizance of the fact that I will probably be nominated for Most Serious again, and if I'm going to be nominated for something like that I'd prefer it be accurate. I think Deadpan more accurately describes me, "Serious" makes it sound as though I'm utterly without a sense of humour.

Perceptive forethought.

You should direct movies, I'd much rather watch this. Although I'd think it'd likelier be a soap opera.

• emaciated love interests
• mutually beneficial relationship blossoming under a totalitarian form of government wherein the citizens thereof do not have access to a large selection of mates
• I hope the reboot doesn't forget that Winston is pushing forty
• relationship of questionable healthiness
• only Hollywood could produce a love story of this

Miss you too... Dick Rider.

I prefer to say my priorities are in order, thankyou.

As an aside, can I suggest Most Deadpan or is that too similar to Most Serious? The latter's a tad more general, the former factors in one's sense of humour as well but I suppose that in order to utilize deadpan comedic tactics one must also be serious as a prerequisite.

Petition to revert the Worst Member categories to as they were two years ago, not self-voluntary but the communal votes thereof functioning on a collective basis. I want my pin back.

I honestly haven't the slightest idea as to what you're referring to. Is this a play on words sort of game?

Nova is Dick Rider. Blue blazes, he will always be Dick Rider to me.

Jiku is Layla Miller. She knows stuff.

I haven't watched X-Men DofP and probably will not get the chance to till I visit America in approx. two weeks. I am extremely unhappy with Quicksilver's design, and I hear they changed his ethnicity to British or American, or something. Point is, he is no longer Romani. At least Blink is in it, I hope she receives the recognition and screentime she deserves.

No more Wolverine please.

Plenty of people in the world deal with mental illness on a daily basis, yet few of them go out on murder sprees. I think first and foremost it's important to identify Elliot Rodger's motive and understand his position in society, and how it enabled him; a typical white, middle class American upbringing. "Mental illness" is not a catch-all excuse for the actions of serial killers, for murdering people. When the media calls their mental status to publicity, and speculates about the nature thereof they undermine the struggles of actual, harmless non-neurotypical people. Suddenly, any clinical disorder beginning in -schiz becomes synonymous with hearing voices and people forget that Bipolar disorder is a mood disorder. Any "normal" person can suffer a psychotic break when provided with an environmental trigger.

I remember when journalists were assuming the roles of shrinks during the Aurora theatre shooting, and there were all these badly thought out speculations (none of which were based upon firsthand accounts or evidence, they were merely going off of secondhand qualitative symptoms) about what "disorder" James Holmes must have possessed that would motivate him to commit such crime. The most ridiculous suggestion as I recall, was Schizoid Personality Disorder-- which was literally characterized by an aversion toward praise/criticism, attention, or social relationships (SPD was removed in the latest installation of the DSM).

Now, instead of focusing on what societal elements of Western society enabled Elliot Rodger to do what he did [and rectifying/treating the cause] we are once more diverting attention to what must have been wrong with him personally. He must have been evil, he was probably autistic, etc. Completely counterproductive.

Well, this sucks. It must have been a rather major disagreement if Edgar Wright left Ant Man after having worked on it for almost eight years. Prayer circle for an at least semi-decent director to pick up from where he left off (I don't have much faith in most of 'em, Bryan Singer and David Goyer and the rest).

Hey, Dick Rider has entered the fray!

I sincerely hope you mean Richard "Dick" Rider as Nova because I feel the alias suits him well.
