"Oh your boss threatening to fire you is 'like communism'"

"I listen to guys who are forced to work on weekends say that it's like communism"

"Is your giant multinational company communist?"

[audience laughs]

"Does your CEO have a portrait of Stalin in his office? Do your kids read Karl Marx in school"

[laughter]

"I mean, really, are we [pause] not living in a capitalist country?"

"People keep pointing out child poverty here and say it's like North Korea. Have you been to the DPRK? Can you really say that the stuff you see daily is going on in the competing social system you know nothing about?"

I have nothing to contribute but wanted to say I dig this format lol

Actually more people commenting on a post makes it show up more, so you're doing your part.

Hey, what's your favourite sports team?

[-] roux@lemmygrad.ml 4 points 1 year ago

Rofl! I actually don't like sports. Horror movies or Deathcore bands are more my thing lol.

What do you think of the Scream reboot? Personally, I love it. Scream 1 and 2 are movies I’m always willing to watch, and the latest two fit right in with that.

[-] roux@lemmygrad.ml 3 points 1 year ago

I actually haven't gotten around watching the newer ones but they are on my list. Actually I might do a marathon now that I think about it.

Wife and I did a Scream marathon a while back, really fun time. The movies all sort of tie into each other as well so that’s fun. Our Halloween movie marathon was fun for different reasons, lol, and much more of a slog. 13 films vs 6 and a much different philosophy for sequels.

Your previous comment actually reminded me we need to start on our Halloween list for this year. All 6 Screams are on it now. My wife okied a B horror and a camp block this year so yay!

That's awesome. Do you like to watch these films with the lights off, late at night and shit? Do you invite friends over to get creeped out together?

[-] roux@lemmygrad.ml 4 points 1 year ago

I mostly watch them by myself but I have gotten my wife into some of the tamer stuff. And I watch them basically whenever. I don't have many irl friends but at the beginning of the pandemic I did join a discord server that was pretty actively watching movies. I actually joined the nexbear crew when they watched The Host and Train to Busan a few weeks ago. And I'm pretty much down for any subgenre. From crappy b-horror all the way to gore golore stuff lol.

That's cool. My gf is really into horror films. Personally they weren't my thing, but the feeling of being terrified together, and grabbing onto each other in fear, is kinda cool.

The hexbear movie thing is so rad. I'm glad we do it.
