If Dogma 2 does happen, it'll be pretty interesting to see it from Smith's current perspective.

He made Dogma when he was still a practicing Catholic. Now, he's all-but confirmed an atheist and has stated numerous times he's lost that faith.

CBS Kicks Off ‘The Late Show With Stephen Colbert’ Emmy Push

Not a shock. Kimmel was throwing snowballs, Colbert was hurling icicles.

This "Billy Butcher vs Homelander" debate is missing the fundamental point of the story.

Butcher obviously has a moral compass compared to Homelander but both men aren't decent people. At the end of the day, Butcher is a selfish, hypocritical, manipulative bigot who frequently straddles the line into being no better than Homelander. He may be the protagonist, but much like Odysseus and Hamlet before him, that doesn't not make Butcher a hero in any sense of the word.

This is depicted with Hughie being a foil to Butcher. While Butcher has gone through much worse than Hughie, he also lost someone very important to him, destroying his entire world. He has his moments of weakness but he ultimately chooses not to go down Butcher's path before it's too late.

Get past the satire, the story, in both the show and comic books, is about vengeance vs justice. One feels empty and is really an excuse to feel morally superior and to get your rage out while the other doesn't guarantee you happiness or even success but will be far more fulfilling in the end.

If he were to make an animated movie one day, which style do you think would be appropriate? I'd go with hand-drawn by SpumCo.

For those who don't know, SpumCo did the animation for Ren & Stimpy's first 2 seasons.

As a successor to my "Nick crediting their creators" post, here's the same but for Cartoon Network.

Nickelodeon's greatest legacy was adding the creators' names to their respective cartoon's intro title cards.

It didn't seem like much but it showed how creator-driven they were back in the day. You'd watch cartoons as a kid and you didn't care about who made them so they didn't include their names in the intro title cards. That changed after the popular of Rugrats, Ren & Stimpy, and Doug. Now, you see nearly all cartoons doing it.

Each Best Picture winner since You-Know-Who's presidency has revolved around racism.

Update: Ignore the "each" in the headline. It should be "most". And "during" instead of "since". Apologies for the confusion.

The president's terms have made people feel more aware on how much racism plays a huge factor in America. And Best Picture winners tend to speak for what the country's going through at that moment in time.

  1. Moonlight: Race plays a subtle but important role in the movie

  2. Shape of Water: Racial allegory

  3. Green Book: Racism biopic

  4. One Battle After Another: White nationalists as the villains

As you can see, other than Anora and Parasite (though it was a groundbreaking achievement for Asians in movies), each winner has racism as a theme.

The Odyssey doesn't have that so it's unlikely to win. Wild Horse 9, however, does have racism as a theme, given it's
about colonialism over a Latin American country by the USA.

Who'd you cast in an X-Men movie?

I know this sounds outta left field but given the recent "Jeremy Strong as Magneto" rumors, the fact two actors from the show have portrayed a very important character in its mythos, Moayed was in Ms. Marvel (she became a member a few years ago), MacFayden was just in a movie revolving around the titular mutants, and a pretty big spoiler for a movie I can't reveal just yet, it feels like Succession and X-Men are somehow intertwined.

HDB 630 or Momentum 5?

I'm planning on using them wired via USB-C on my iPhone and Apple Music (with plans for hi-res flac songs in the future) but couple of things:

  1. M5 has Atmos support while the 630 doesn't. I know audiophiles, like myself, cringe at this since it lessens the audio quality but I like to have it sometimes.
  2. M5 has a warm profile vs the 630's neutral, which I prefer more.
  3. M5 comes with aptx Lossless while 630 only comes with aptx Adaptive. While I said I will be using wired connection, there will be times when that's not available so I want to have the best lossless audio possible via Bluetooth. I know the 630 comes with its own dongle but the Questyle QCC should do the trick for me.
  4. The 630 has a more extensive EQ than the M5. Tied to the previous point, if I wanna use wireless, I need a good EQ, which can't be used with wired.
  5. In terms of sound quality, the 630 seems to sound better than the M5, although that could be subjective.
  6. Both of their ANC tech isn't Sony's but the M5 appears to do it better than the 630. ANC is something very valuable in my line of work.

So, which do you think suits me the most?
