    The thing is, the cardboard box isn't acting, it's just being a cardboard box. It's not capable of being anything other than a cardboard box. A cardboard box it is and will forever be so. It's simple not able, by its very nature to be anything but a cardboard box.

    Wait...replace the word cardboard with Will, and Box with Smith.

    But, you always believe it's a cardboard box.

    When Smith is onscreen, you don't believe he's a conman or a drunken hero or whatever.

    That's a disgrace. The best thing about those foul tasting things was getting to pour the salt in and shake them up.

    But they did square crisps. SQUARE. They were at the bleeding edge of '80s snack innovation.

    were the points of the square chips really sharp enough to cause edge bleeding?

    duende of course they were. They built character, they terrified the Unions, they're what took Britain from a third world country going cap in hand to the IMF to being one of the top 5 economies in the world in the space of a decade.



    See?

    Yes. It's Ender. But I'd be genuinely surprised to see something akin to ire out of Wock. Even if he did put such a display, like all things Wock, it's just a con. He probably does not give one **** about us pissing on Willard smith.

    Well the way I see it, Solid Snake/Big Boss can use a cardboard box to effectively hide from enemy soldiers while on a mission. If Solid Snake/Big Boss were to hide from these enemies using Will Smith as cover well...um...it certainly wouldn't be the craziest thing Hideo Kojima has ever done.

    It wasn't the ire. It was to highlight through democracy, which Wocky also hates, that people widely regard Will Smith as "not a very good actor. I mean, he's entertaining enough to watch, but it's mostly because he set up a persona and brand as a movie star and I feel like I know him more intimately than I do as a result. But his dramatic range is limited, unlike the Method commitment of the box."

    Big Willie can smoke a cigar so I think Mr. Wocky wins by TKO.

    It seems to me that he was trying to reach out with a positive message to people in fairly simple language. I don't blame him. Do you see how popular idiocy like "Game of Thrones" is these days?

    So you're saying this song is idiocy? I think for once you'll get no arguments from the rest of the JCC.

    No, I think it's intentionally simplistic.

    For instance, song structure like "He's Got the Whole World In His Hand" really only change a single word from verse to verse. But by that simplicity it reaches millions and has been a good anchor for meaning. The stripped down metaphor makes it comprehensible and universal. These are common traits in folk music and things that people are to sing along with, which are both positive trends we've moved much too far away from. I think he's attempting a more contemporary iteration of the same concept.

    You're better than this, JP.

    And I say that as someone who assumes that when you see roadkill you instantly start wondering how best to fricasee the monster.
