I think america will emerge from this presidency a completely changed country, I think it has the potential to go either way at this stage.
I think i've said it before but I wish the old colbert report was around to at least make some of it funny
-
I think it's the rhetoric surrounding it that is more worrying. Declaring the press the enemy of the American people just seems like the first step in a pretty bad direction.

i quite liked it, the acting wasn't terrible which is a start
still, it'll have to be a lot better than prometheus to live up to the original alien movie

i checked this out after someone posted in this thread
https://forum.watmm.com/topic/92378-favorite-songs-of-2016/ (i've discovered quite a few awesome things so please post more)
I think my favourite track is 122112

They should make the judge/jury members of the firing squad (not really - they shouldn't have the death penalty at all)

man I love the witcher 3 so much. I'm currently playing the final expansion and im worried its going to end and i'll have nothing quite as good to play (although maybe I should try dark souls again)

i think capote was pretty accurate in his criticism of on the road.
though maybe he didn't actually say it the way people report it: http://quoteinvestigator.com/2015/09/18/typing/

this song, (the drumming esp) - was my gateway into the caniverse
could it possibly have been as good with a different drummer?

Very similar stuff going on around these parts, shit is rough. Serious fwp.1) have broken up with GF, but she hasn't moved out yet
2) hate my well paying job, have a mortgage that requires a well paying job, cannot think of any feasible (jobs that aren't in dying industries) alternative i'd like to do (well paying job involves other peoples health, so can't half arse it)
plan:
sell house
rent cheapest possible place i can in some remote place (?tasmania)
try hand at dying industry
fail
unburn bridges
go back to job I hate
Absolutely firstest of wps

i'm only 8 episodes in to a bingewatch
thoughts so far;
I had a feeling that one of the characters presented as a human would turn out to be a host but did not predict which one it would be, and it was surprising and plausible to me.
the acting is a bit uneven at times, but for the most part is excellent (thandie newton, anthony hopkins, ed harris A+)
love the recurring player-piano motif
i hope the writers have an overall plot/scheme, so it doesn't end up like carnivale/battlestar galactica
the dolores/ william / logan writing is pretty bad at times

I did not like prometheus
script problems from day one
i do not have high hopes that this new one will meet the standards of either alien, or aliens

kazuo ishiguro - the buried giant
i've liked the two previous books I read by him but this one was a slog - not a fan of the allegorical approach, the stilted/affected arthurian language, or the straining at profundity. A big let down
joseph roth - the radetsky march (trans michael hofmann)
its always hard to know how much is lost in translation but I can recommend this, sad and funny and well written

Can you imagine what's happening to Donald trumps ego right now?

Titanfall 2 is pretty funtimes. The single player campaign is actually decent and the multiplayer seems like it might have a bit more depth (and the same brilliant movement and gunshootyfeel as the first one)

Definitely, I loved the first one. It had a certain Je ne say kwar - it had a way of making you feel extremely competent at the running and shooting and such, even if you're weren't all that good at it. it just needed more variety in maps and modes to keep people playingAnyone else plan on picking up Titanfall 2? The multiplayer beta was a good time, especially in the 2nd week when they made tweaks based on player feedback, the campaign looks like it's gonna be pretty damn cool as well... I'm a sucker for anything with fighting mechs.

i was playing the new deux ex until I got some game breaking bug near the final level
the fact that i'm not that bothered about it summarises how meh it all is IMHO, particularly the plot, which in summary is basically;

some pretty buildings though, shame they're all full of videogamily predictable vents
when will the reverse vampires learn not to make their buildings riddled with vents big enough for me to crawl through

Yeah I pulled a godwins
I think the comparisons are pretty superficial - it just struck me reading it that without mentioning trump by name it still makes you think of him - undoubtedly intentional by the author of this review.
I think the comparison that worries me most is people underestimating them
- as partisan as the us seems it's really not very much like 1930s Germany at all so even if he were to win I think he'd just end up the face of someone else's agenda - which is what he seemed to want anyway if you believe that story about him approaching vice presidential candidates with the offer of control over "domestic and foreign policy" (i.e everything)
-
-
I don't think this debate will shift things very much. Trump just did his trump routine of "I'm going to fix stuff" without any specifics.
I really don't get how people can't see through it.
Clinton doesn't do herself any favours with the smug.

frankie boyle is better as a social commentator i find. his stand up made me laugh, but an hour of recited one liners mixed with ruthless audience bullying was a kind of shallow format i found.
kevin bridges is funny as fuck.
Yeah I can see what you're saying, frankie's comedy for the most part doesn't really have much of a point of view - he seems to separate his comedy from his commentary. His shows are a bit heavy on the heckling too, but I think part of it is that his audience seem to expect it.
I think his jokes are usually pretty great though, and I think he has a fearlessness which helps too ( I think maybe it's the fearlessness I like most maybe) I prefer him to jimmy carr, who has a similar sort of show

I'm surprised Frankie Boyle hasn't been mentioned
