We have crazy weather too; especially around Winter. So far we've been getting mostly sunny days, but we've been getting rain every now and then. The storms in southern states still effects those in the mid-west and north east. Food is excellent. I reccomend you go to resturants in Detroit and Downtown Detroit (more so), Southfield, Troy, Allen Park, Dearborn, and other cities I will think of later.
Okay...that's a first I've ever heard about Detroit, or Michigan in general, with that phrase.
The land of the better Deep Dish Pizza and RoboCop, a fine place.
Detroit: Become Beat'em Ups
If it's the original, as much as you want. The sequels vary. No one says anything about that boring awful remake. Dredd (2012) is a better RoboCop film. Ironic, because RoboCop was originally supposed to be a Judge Dredd film, but they could not secure the rights. It's noticeable in Murphy's design.
Is that the game that asks the question "What if Beat'em ups were emotions?"
Going for the obvious funny Newfoundland town name.
To be fair that first RoboCop film is unironically a masterpiece, and while it does deal with a lot of themes that were present in the Judge Dredd comics, to the point that it's impossible not to notice the influence if you are familiar with both works, it's also uncanny that despite the obvious inspiration (as you said due to it starting as an adaptation) the two works end with very different messages and very different protagonists, since you are actually supposed to sympathise and root for Murphy, but yeah, it's a good thing Verhooven's wife convinced him to give the script a chance because it legit has more layers than an onion, the political commentary is spot on to the point of coming across as downright prophetic in some aspects and the fact that it doesn't really pull any punches, but I'll stop right there because I do love that movie quite a lot.
Aye, I did see some foodies vlogging about how they were better than New York's, once the quarantine is over and I'm able to cross the border again (Legally, guys don't call the feds!) it seems like doing a small tour over there could be a nice thing to do, would need to ask for more recommendations along the way, besides it'd also be a good opportunity to acquire some tabletop games that aren't sold over here.
But you can’t put politics into a movie. That would ruin it
What about you Obsidian? I know already that you live in New York New York but do you have any interesting anecdotes about your state?
You're right, forget about everything I said RoboCop is just a dumb movie about a Cyborg cop that kills bad guys because they are bad, and it definitely has nothing to do with the fact that they are capitalists that have exploited the system so far that they have acquired control of law enforcement, nor is it about what it means to be human or anything of the sort, it's just a movie that I'd buy for a dollar and it's just awesome because Cyborg kills bad guys real good , REAL GOOD.
Hey, go the whole hog and say you're from Fucking!
True, but Fucking, Austria is a real place, and they have problems regarding replacing nameplates on a regular basis. I didn't think this was a Newfoundland specific source of humour.
Well, I'm a neighbor then. I was born in Kansas and it's where I live now. Weather, much like yours... maybe slightly more drought prone than MO added to the usual nightmare that weather in the midwest is. And of course there is the natural rivalry between our states going back to bad blood during the civil war (Missouri Compromise, Bleeding Kansas, Quantrill's raiders and the Lawrence massacre.) But for as much as Kansans are suppose to dislike Missouri... good gods its so beautiful compared to Kansas. I've vacationed in Missouri a lot over the years, most Kansans have. I really doubt many in Missouri do the same except for stopping on I-70 for a few minutes on their way to Colorado. In Kansas there are some lovely foothills in the eastern 5th of the state, and the remaining 4/5ths is driving past the same completely flat farmland for hundreds of miles until you are ready to just give up in despair for wanting a curve in the road or something other than a silo or windmill in the distance.
I will say that you guys at least occupy a more distinctive space in the country's counsiousness with movies like The Wizard of Oz. What do we Missourians have? Meet Me In St.Louie? Does anyone outside of MO even watch that anymore?
