MODERATORS
Or older entertainment traditionalists firmly stuck in the era of variety hours and then importance of "big music numbers to give the audience the ol' razzle-dazzle!" Hell, some of them probably never got out of a nostalgia for vaudeville.
Or both that decrepit mindset plus cocaine.
This cannot be overstated. Just reading the summary would invoke serious head-shaking, the casting would result in an explosion. Which tells you the snow blew over everyone.
A white Christmas, indeed.
It's like after the 1970's LSD comedown featuring Sid & Marty Kroft et. al. cocaine really took hold, but around 1983 was a nice mix of LSD, weed, and cocaine's honeymoon period.
A long long time ago in a galaxy for away, somehow there was Jesus too...
That proves it. Jesus is The Doctor.
This is making me think of the Ray Bradbury story where astronauts reach another planet with alien life and the aliens don’t give a shit about them because Jesus happens to have just arrived as well and the astronauts are boring compared to that. The aliens treat him excellently rather than crucifying him. I think about what Ray was saying about us with that story a lot.
I can't say I know this story, but I do have a comic somewhere where aliens meet a priest who asks if Jesus visited them and they reply Jesus still often does many times cause he was praised and welcomed by them. The priest then says: "Still visits often? We're still waiting for his first return", to which the Alien asks: "Why, what did you do to him?" 😅
Somewhere in the corner, Joseph Smith is scribbling furiously...
Somehow...Jesus returned.
He flies now?!
It's wine now?
Do you not mean, Doctor Who was Jesus.
Explains him coming back after 3 days (probably forgot the screwdriver in Jerusalem), and the floating up to heaven, and the money changers, and the wine...
There is no 'was' in timetravel. 😜😂
Anyway, ALONS-Y! 😁
"The Star Wars Holiday Special" has been rightfully anointed with certified "so bad it’s good" status by forgiving fans
There's parts that are kinda good, like the Boba Fett animated part. But my god are parts of it just awful. Doesn't mean I'm not gonna watch my pirated copy, recorded on a primitive VCR complete with local commercials.
I think that entire documentary could be summarized as "Drugs. Lots of drugs. Lots of drugs in lots of varieties."
This is so aggravating, there are 5 comments in this thread and none of them are visible to me. 😫 Why?
Update: Thanks to /c/support, I now know that one must also have english selected, as well as, undetermined in your profile settings. I see everything now!
The odds of all top level commenters being on your blocklist is low since there are multiple top level commenters, it has happened to me when all replies were to a single top level commenter on my block list.
What client are you using? I'm using boost on Android and I'm able to see all the comments
I'm using the main web interface while using LibreWolf.
I can see 6 of 11 currently on connect.
Are you blocking any specific users? Or instances maybe?
c/support helped me out. Turns out that I only had "undetermined" selected for my language in my profile settings when I should have also selected "english."
