By the way, US brehs, I need y'all help understanding something : I listened to Kells cookie song once again (might be growing on me), and notice he said "fukk with a nikka" twice. I think he meant "fukk with me" but I wasn't sure because he also could have meant "fukk with a black man".

I noticed on this message board that it's not unusual to talk about oneself the Jaqen H'ghar way (using "a man", "a brother", "a nikka" or any "a + noun"). Why though ? The English language is great because it may be the shorter way to express things. Comparing it to latin languages, I'm sometimes annoyed by how long or how many syllables we have to add to the english count to say the same things. Why then use "a nikka" to say "me" or "I"?
it is third person arrogance in a rougher way. like people referring to themselves as "the kid", or how you'd hear ny rappers in the 90s call themselves "the god"

the bluntness of english allows us to extend a sentence without being so annoyed, because we can choose when and when not to do it. latin-based language speakers have no choice, however, as the rules of including tiny details ("que" in french/spanish/portuguese for example) are much more rigid, while optional in english

Saw Anchorman 2. Pretty funny, so many jokes that I can't even remember all of them. Though it had some very light and easy commentary on the news that was welcome even though it just told us everything that we already know about the 24 hour news cycle.


The previews though:

22 Jump Street. Ground already treaded.

That Michael Bay produced movie about 5 friends who build a time machine from one of the friend's dad's blueprint they find in his state of the art high-tech basement laboratory. Sure. There's so many problems with time travel movies, we should just stop with time travel movies. The Butterfly Effect killed time travel movies forever. Time travel movies are getting so old they have romantic comedies about time travel now.

New Seth Rogan movie looks like it could be ok, not theater going worthy though.

That Michael B. Jordan movie where he's friends with Zac Effron and Miles Teller and MBJ get his heart broken and they have some stupid pact where the other two can't hook up with girls. But then MBJ finds out that Effron and Teller are in fact hooking up with girls and he storms out because his bro pact was broken. Besides the retarded premise I wasn't sure what that movie was supposed to be. It didn't look funny, but I dunno too many romantic comedies that are rated R. If you're romantic comedy is rated R that's just a comedy, like 40 Year Old Virgin.
