Yeah, it’s funny because it’s pretty well established that drawings just encourage the behavior, so yeah
Looking at them is bad and eventually leads to actual children being hurt

Telling a writer “You probably would love this thing that spits up gibberish” is tantamount to punching yourself in the face
Gotta love antisemitic terror attacks
Always fuckin loved that one scene in Escape from LA where Snake is up against three guys and goes, “We’ll shoot when this can hits the ground”
He tosses the can into the air and then just wastes all three guys before it even starts coming down
My least favorite trope is more of a universal one
It’s the “If we beat the bad guys using their own tactics, we’re no better than them” trope and it’s been pissing me off since I was five years old
Like, it’s one thing to have a character who is extremely optimistic about rehabilitation and redemption, it’s another one entirely to just pull the old “We’ll figure out a better way” and the better way is an absolute pulled-it-out-of-my-ass thing that only happened because otherwise the hero is fucked
It's just a Tactical Withdrawal until they come back with giant robots and laser guns, then we'll show those [redacted] what for!
Making me cry is #8
For about 10 to 15 seconds yes
One of the funniest moments of my life happened at a trading card store
My brother and I were spending our allowances on getting specific Magic The Gathering cards when a little kid walks up to the other counter where they dealt with Pokémon cards
He holds up an Ancient Mew card and says, “how much can I get for this?” and the guy behind the counter goes “Sorry, I can’t give you anything for it”
Kid leaves and then comes back a few minutes later, his mother in tow
The mom goes “Excuse me, did you just lie to my son?”
Guy behind the counter is unflappable, just goes “No, I told him I can’t pay him for that card”
She says, “Excuse me, this is a rare, limited edition card and I was assured it had some value”
He says, “Ma’am, there are millions of that card out there. If you wanted what it was worth, I’d have to take a penny, cut it into eight pieces and give you a single piece of it. Would you like a single piece of eight for that card?”
She goes, “You just don’t understand how collectibles work, I’m going to find someone who understands value!”, grabs her kid by the scruff and drags him out
I hope that kid turned out okay
Reminds me of the spec script I wrote for a hard-boiled police procedural called Cockenballs
Named after the main character, Detective Harry Q. Cockenballs
Thumb and pinky finger on the heel, my other fingers on the crown
Complete and total control of the bun
Life is hard and we want some comforts
Personally, my comforts have blended with my hardness and turned me into a barely contained ball of violent neuroses
Which is why I box
Well, it’s not quite an Erd and it’s not quite a tree, but wow
So to answer your question, I have no idea
Goddamn, how are they going to fill that runtime?
