This also applies to the Liberals (who are now unabashed conservatives) destroying the Canadian post office. It's vandalism of a public good that doesn't fucking belong to them and they should be ashamed of themselves.
I am so goddamn tired of conservatives destroying things that belong to the public. This department doesn't belong to Sim, it's not his, he has no moral right to do this. This is social vandalism.
He just sucks so much. And he's not even a fun mayor who sucks, he's just boring and mid and awful.

It’s grotesque & maybe too much but there’s an infamous 45-50 page sequence from From Hell where Jack The Ripper butchers Mary Kelly but it’s a compression of 2 hours but you still feel the prolonged length & the brutality in every action & wouldn’t have the same impact if edited using jump cuts.
I don’t know why people keep trying to adapt Alan Moore stuff when what makes his comics great is that they use forms and techniques unique to comics - it’s like saying you know what this opera should be a film strip

I really don’t like a lot of the JJ Abrams films in hindsight but they did intrigue me enough to watch Wrath of Khan and then Next Generation in syndication. So it is arguably my gateway into Trek, beyond what I perceived to be the cheesy thing (Sorry TOS fans lol) my dad liked.
