“Buckman! There was a fingernail in my food, ya fatass moron! Yesterday, it was a Band-Aid!”

Buckman: “Sorry, sir. The Band-Aid was holding the fingernail on.”

Equally true of every animal? Ever try to get a mole to stop digging?

No Way Out (1950). Depicts a race riot. At one point a character uses the N word dozens of times in a row uninterrupted. Much of Sidney Poitier’s career would be hard to remake these days. Pressure Point (1962) where he’s a therapist trying to deprogram a Nazi. Maybe that’s exactly what the world needs a remake of right now, but we’re not gonna get it.

Basic Instinct (1992), Body Heat (1981), that sort of thing. They might remake it into a TV show, but they’re not putting that much sex in theaters.

Charlie Chan. A series of detective films about a Chinese detective who was always played by a white guy. Though you could make this movie in 2026, you wouldn’t cast a white person.

Countless movies where the subject matter is painfully out of date. They used to make anti-alcohol pictures when prohibition was a thing. Couldn’t vs. wouldn’t, I guess.

Ether and laughing gas. Opium?

“Cuba’s next.”

Thumbnail looked like a demon crawling out of a pool of blood.

Can you give me the exact locations of all lost civilizations? Ideally any that have Pompeii-like level of preservation.

Fun fact: The Miami Heat retired the jersey of a player who never played for them.

Michael Jordan. Apparently thinking the number 23 might be retired league wide.

I didn’t realize Wikipedia covered bodybulding.com forum beefs.

XP was the business standard for like 20 years. Windows 7 was the next one to do that.

The Drama (2026) was okay. I came into it hating Zendaya. I came out of it sympathizing with school schooters I guess.

GOAT (2026) was a fun enough kids movie. Does a good job depicting the hostility you will encounter on the playground. It did everything it set out to be.

It Takes Two (1995) is a surprisingly decent family comedy. It’s a borderline remake of earlier films (Thirty Day Princess (1934), and plenty more).

Breakdown (1997) is a well executed but terribly unrealistic story. Had some fun moments.

Sounds like it might be fun in the moment, problematic in the medium, and then not problematic in the long run.

Okay but I’m not smart.

“This goes too far. It crosses the line,” wrote David Brody, a journalist with the Christian Broadcasting Network. “A supporter can back the mission and reject this.”

If you still back the mission then you’re not rejecting this.

“You kissed a girl! That is so gay.”

The anti-trans stuff is all, at its core, anti-women. They hate women in athletics. A children’s book author was able to completely ruin Olympic women’s boxing by complaining that an athlete looked too manly.

DMX got his name from one of these.

OP said 1800-present. If you’re talking about the 1899 split, then that’s the colonial powers. What am I missing?

Tiny island nations that were largely the victim of colonization by others. Trinidad and Tobago. Samoa.

Within reason, yes. Not looking for anything complicated.

People weren’t lining up to watch Michael Jackson when he was pale white, missing a nose, almost dropping his kid off a balcony, plus the sexual accusations. He was a cautionary tale at that point.

His music got a boost after he died. Now that he’s dead people like to gloss over the final decade of his life. But they weren’t ignoring it when he was alive.
