Highly Suggestible Morons Open Thread/
Tony Bobulinski on Tucker Carlson
An open thread for suggesting shows, books, products, etc. to you fellow Morons.
After having it recommended it to me a few times, I downloaded the FXX series version of What We Do In the Shadows. It's not quite as good as the movie -- and they borrow some plot elements from the movie, though they're redressed a little -- but it is pretty good. I don't know how it aired on FXX, but in the Amazon download, it's got the f-bomb in it every episode. There are also connections to the movie. The vampire lore in the show is pretty fun, too. I thought I wouldn't like the Psychic Vampire, aka the Energy Vampire who drains your energy by frustrating and annoying you at work, but he's pretty funny.Comments

It was intentionally convoluted, which hurt it.
It also felt like a series of side-quests from the game rather than something from a book, which was weird because it was actually based on the book and not the games.

If you think things are going to go totally sideways into Civil War 2.0, it's useful reading, because the Spanish Civil War is closer to what we have now that the US Civil War in 1860.
I mean, Spain even had Antifa! And they called everyone they didn't like "fascists"!
Also, I wrote a book on vampires and people liked it. Vampires of Michigan. It was fun to write.
Or is this not a call for shameless self-promotion?

My thoughts?
The game has "gone gold", which means that it's playable from start to finish. That suggests that the reason isn't related to gameplay elements that don't work. Marketing materials - including public ads - with the now defunct release date are out in the wild. That suggests something important, because you don't just casually blow off a street date for a high profile game when said date is plastered on the sides of busses. My guess is that something went wrong with the adaptation of the game for one or more consoles. I suspect that the PC version is fine. But the publisher - CD Projekt Red - wants a simultaneous release on all platforms. And if one of the consoles has a problem, then the release gets delayed for everyone (at least for the short term).

We watched the series before the movie, and I believe the series is superior. First, more content. Second, the series is American and the movie from NZ so a little more accessible. Not saying that the movie is inaccessible
Appearing on FXX there were no bleeps. That's what the extra X is for I guess.
Also, being part of Disney empire actually improves the series. The cameos are EXCELLENT. And totally unexpected.

We watched the series before the movie, and I believe the series is superior. First, more content. Second, the series is American and the movie from NZ so a little more accessible. Not saying that the movie is inaccessible
Appearing on FXX there were no bleeps. That's what the extra X is for I guess.
Also, being part of Disney empire actually improves the series. The cameos are EXCELLENT. And totally unexpected.

by JCS criminal psychology.
(for the third time in these gray boxes.)
The channel posts police interviews with informed commentary about techniques, psychology, tactics, etc. Most are over an hour and very interesting. Just video of the interview room. This one is a bit different. It is short, and he goes into an analysis of antihereos, including a big segment about Bad Santa with lots of clips.
Very good.

Violet Evergarden: good

I tried an episode of Violet Evergarden, just couldn't get into it. Pass.
Of the recent anime I've seen (just about the only contemporary art firm I'll watch), I liked
Flowers of Evil -- really good rotoscoped romance-dame about a high school guy torn between polar opposite girls. Sounds cliche, but it is imbued with a terrifying sense of foreboding, so you really are on the edge of your seat.
Mob 100 -- Hilarious and well-done story of a nerdy boring 14-year-old boy who in reality is the most powerful telekinetic superhero on Earth - -but he doesn't realize it. He's pretty ineffectual until his stress level hit 100 (hence the title), at which point the entire universe bends to his unconscious will.

For Halloween, I recommend The Haunting of Hill House on Netflix to anyone who hasn't seen it. Series based on the book. The psuedo-sequel, The Haunting of Bly House is good but not great. It's slow to start. Based on Turn of the Screw.
Also for Halloween, I highly recommend the unconventional ghost movie, The Eclipse (2010) with Ciaran Hinds and Aidan Quinn. It's a drama with ghosts set in Ireland, but has some good scares.

I've been fascinated about it for many years, and while convalescing last year I read about it extensively.
This book is a synthesis of disparate English-language sources to create a more understandable narrative of the war. It's got maps and a very extensive chronology, which few books on the topic do.
It's also not a bunch of leftist propaganda, which is all too common.
My claim to fame is the first serious study of Franco's strategy and discussion of why the war went that way it did.
I've never been to Spain. Upon hearing of my project, one of the Moron Horde gave me a personal translation of some Spanish material, which I found very interesting and used in the book.

Fresh Fields and French Fields are also a topnotch series which is family friendly. Also was on Prime, may now be on Acorn.
Last, but not least, Dad's Army (most of these were uploaded to Youtube). The first one or two are not that funny but set the stage for the later ones. Also family friendly to watch.
For a bit of something different, Jool's Holland Hootenany (for various years) with a lot of musical stars, U.S. and British, jamming and the British Proms series (also various years) are both entertaining with some fantastic conductors and singers.

1. If you've not read Tarry Pratchett's Discworld series, do so. At least try it. There are a lot of books, and it's hard to know where to start. I've come around to recommending new readers start with the book "Equal Rites", but search the internet for "Pratchett Reading Order" and you'll find other good starting points. Pratchett wrote clever, at times hilarious novels set in the Discworld, and ... hell, just go look in to it.
2. "The Pleasures of Reading in an Age of Distraction", by Alan Jacobs. This book transformed how I approach leisure reading, in the best possible ways. It's short. He writes well. And what he writes here may change how you read and what you read. I've given copies as gifts. Well worth the time.

One of the reasons that the U.S.S.R. broke up peaceably more or less is that some pretty big players like Ukraine and Kazakhstan for example had nukes.

Here's the synopsis: "Life for John and Lara Brennan (Russell Crowe, Elizabeth Banks) is
miserable after she is convicted of a murder she says she did not
commit. Three years later while struggling with the demands of work and
raising his son alone, John is still trying to establish her innocence.
When her final appeal is rejected, Lara becomes suicidal, forcing John to exercise the only option he has left: Break her out of prison."

I liked it.
Pretty funny how he thought he would have endless sex to repopulate the Earth, but ended up having his balls drained mechanically by a torture device.
Not joking -- it was funny.
The talking dog part was actually the weakest part. Not ever really necessary for the plot, though.

I liked Evil, surprisingly good for CBS.
I'd recommend the first season of The Terror, originally broadcast on AMC. Based on the Franklin expedition to find the Northwest Passage, with a supernatural/gothic horror twist.
Excellent cast including Ciaran Hinds, Jared Harris and Tobias Menzies. Riveting!

I quite enjoyed it but you have to like that style of book (first person journal entries interspersed with third person interviews/media reports).
The criticism that the characters are awful is sort of true. Our Heroine and Hero are great examples of people drifting through life who discover that they can, in fact, step up when needed and I liked that.
I mean, it's not great literature but I thought it was worth four bucks.

She literally could have two people on opposing sides on her show and one vomit up a tortoise. The other person could point out to Ms. Idiocracy that the other guy just vomited up a tortoise, and I swear, the that person told Martha that, "no, no I didn't" that fucking boob would repeat that right back...:"but your worthy opponent says they didn't just vomit up a tortoise...what do you say to that?"
And the other poor slob, think Martha has synapses and working brain cells and all would argue "but didn't you just see it!?" All to no avail.

Boyd: "Because we dug coal together."
Raylan: "That's right."

Dracula - Lugosi again , parts of this movie are absolutely fantastic. I love the part were Dracula and Van Helsing are having some psychic battle just looking at each other, tense as hell.
Young Frankenstein - This movie gets better every time we watch it. Every actor hits it out of the park.

Those are great. Thinking about getting the book. The author is pretty apolitical. Probably slightly lefty, but he was nearly cancelled by the Twitter mob in the last couple years for saying he was glad that the mother of an ex-girlfriend had chosen life instead of abortion and how he was proud of said girlfriend for speaking about it at q pro-life rally that was going on as he made the tweet. As far as I know he never apologized (how do you apologize for saying you're glad someone you cared about was alive?) and I hope it hasn't hurt his profession long term.

so Alabaster, my eldest went to an insanely hard European style sports training club. it's famous, or infamous, where we live.
The main owner/coach is so terrifying ... to some! my daughter loves him. they weirdly get along great. but he is something. I half want to recommend Whiplash to him. he would be TOTALLY simpatico with the teacher! and honestly, we all saw Fletcher's point too. I don't want to spoil it, but the character is very complex.

I saw that in theaters and loved it.
Hilarious part is Crowe running to Venezuela as a paradise at the end.
No surprise considering it was written by Paul Haggis, but up to that point it's an amazingly well made and tense thriller.

Movies:
Away All Boats (195?). About a USN WW2 amphib ship in the Pacific. It's on YouTube. Jeff Chandler being Jeff Chandler! Look for Clint Eastwood near the end, with one line.
Target for Tonight (1941). Fictional but very realistic account of a RAF Bomber Command night raid on Germany. Some of the senior officer characters were played by actual RAF officers (uncredited). On YouTube.
Target for Today (1944). USAAF training film describing prep and execution of an 8th AF daylight bombing mission. Good look at what goes on to prep a mission; much deeper look than in Twelve O'Clock High and the movie with Clark Gable (I forget the title).
Books:
Team Yankee (novel). A tank company's experience in the first days of World War 3 against a Warsaw Pact invasion of West Germany.
1846 - Year of Decision, by Bernard DeVoto. History. Covers the many key and/or well-known events in the US in 1846. Opening the Oregon Trail. Beginning of the Mormon trek to Utah. Start of the Mexican War. Donner Party. And more!
The three books about key points in French history from 1870 to 1940, by Alastair Horne: The Fall of Paris (Franco-Prussian War); The Price of Glory (Battle of Verdun, 1916); To Lose a Battle (1940 German conquest of France).
The Last Valley: Dien Bien Phu and the French Defeat in Vietnam, by Martin Windrow. History. The title says it all.

An Ornament to His Profession--Charles Harness plus 16 other stellar short stories dating from the 1940's to 1970's. The title short story is horrifying without blood and gore at all.
Other is Manly Wade Wellman, who created a character named Silver John. John the Balladeer is a collection of his short stories where John faces down the supernatural in backwoods Appalachia in N.C. The short story of Vandy, Vandy, Vandy, is one of the best in the collection which is saying much.
Also another is the Worse Things Waiting collection of short stories that is not Silver John related. The story The Undead Soldier was considered too horrific for Weird Stories to publish.

I loved Zach in Chuck (which also starred HQ favorite Adam "not related to the insane ones" Baldwin), and Shazam! works exactly because of him.
That said, the movie's tonally a little weird. It's mostly fairly lighthearted but then there's also a couple of random scenes that are super dark. I feel like a little extra editing could've made it an even better movie.
Also, for people sick of seeing Manhattan destroyed in superhero movies, they destroy Philadelphia instead.

Posted by: Yudhishthira's Dice at October 27, 2020 08:19 PM (XJipD)
Raimi and the Coens have a long history together, including the Coens helping to edit the original Evil Dead film, and writing at least one of Raimi's other early flicks.
Plus if I remember correctly, early in their careers the three of them shared a house with Holly Hunter and Kathy Bates, when they were all unemployed.

The Democrats lost 50,000 votes in their differential today.
They need to go into Election Day leading by 750K votes.
This morning they were leading by 350K votes.
Tonight they are leading by 299K votes.
Early voting in Florida ends on Saturday, they have 4 days to turn this around or they will be humiliated next Tuesday in Florida.

Nah, TNG is better. I have a love hate relationship with DS9. It could be excellent at times. Then they would make plot and story decisions that would annoy me to no end. They ruined the Ferengi. Instead of working to develop the idea of a mercantile space empire, they were always played for idiot grifters. In other words, they took the easy route. Plus any episode with Quark's mom had me wanting to walk out an airlock.

Film. Have mentioned it before. Into the Cold Blue. Documentary about the making of "Memphis Belle" in WWII, with WWII footage colorized (using a new technique - looks perfect). 8th Air Force vets, and I think the daughter of the famous director who made the movie, also in it. Several of his film crew were lost - they flew on actual combat missions to get their footage.
Highly recommended, for both history buffs and film types.

But, you might want to read Manchester's bio of Churchill, volume III of the Last Lion: Alone which deals with Churchill's life from 1932-1940 and becoming prime minister. Unfortunately, Manchester was too old and died before his biography reached the wartime years which was completed by another writer.
Manchester's description of the Parliamentary debate that began with a minor question that exploded into a vote of confidence in Chamberlain (which ultimately led to his resignation) is a compelling summary of the dry transcripts in Hansard's Debates.

I really liked Manchester's bio of MacArthur, American Caesar. I thought it was a very positive bio and believe it to be more credible because reportedly Manchester did not really care for MacArthur.

It was.
Also McConaughey is wonderful in it and when everyone was all stunned he could act, all I could think is oh you haven't seen Frailty then.
The Minus Man is also an underrated movie. Very very creepy serial killer movie in which the blankness of Owen Wilson works. The ending has stayed with me ever since I say it.
I was watching the original Halloween the other day and I always forget that most of the movie is about Annie and not Laurie.

MacArthur's military record in WWII is, at best, spotty (being generous). His personal behavior was idiotic and inexcusable. Just reading more now about his plans for some 1944 amphibious operations that were cancelled due to circumstances changing - pretty lame.
His occupation performance in Japan was a masterpiece, I think easily his career highlight. If true - have never checked - I also like his requirement that Garand change his design to 30-06 instead of the odd-ball caliber for which it was designed, just for the added oomph.

That's a very interesting movie.
I like The Invitation a bit more than it deserves I think. A man accepts an invitation from his ex-wife to come to a dinner party and he decides to come and brings his new girlfriend. The ex wife is remarried. It starts off with watching people trying to deal with all kinds of unspoken stress and then takes quite the turn.
It's not a great movie but there's something about it.
I noped out on The Autopsy of Jane Doe at the point where the characters, who are smart and who make smart decisions, also noped out. It's very very well done but uh uh.

There is a curious sidenote, In a biography of Vince Lombardi, When Pride Still Mattered by David Maraniss, Lombardi used to brief MacArthur (now retired) about football strategy and players as an Army and later NY Giant's assistant coach.
Manchester's Death of an American President is similarly excellent.

BOBULINSKI: It was never about Hunter Biden or Jim Biden. It was about the family name, the Biden legacy.
TUCKER: At this point, Joe Biden was the sitting Vice President of the United States.
BOBULINSKI: Yes that's correct.

His lowbrow beer drinking self on a wine tour of Europe with a professional wine taster fellow is wonderful, and later they did a general "alcohol of Europe in different regions" that was lots of fun. He has shows on old toys, too, and one featured him getting a bunch of smart high school kids to help him build a 1:1 plastic model of a (IIRC) P-51. They had to snap it out of enormous PVC pipe frames and everything.
Worth a watch.

A lot of it fits ... he's a guy with a lot of money and influence, perfect to be used and abused by the machine. But he was the first to see problems in Wall Street (I didn't catch all that detail) ... his statement of Brennan and company running Russians at Republicans as a way to have it for a later "fake kompromat" fits pretty perfectly with our theories here.
The new part was that it was Brennan/Obama actually setting up Hillary, so they could control her over her 8 years as POTUS (which they thought was certain at that point in 2015/2016).
At the end he says he agreed with them to stay silent as long as Durham was going to come out before the election .. .it was supposed to happen in May, then Plandemic delayed it .. so that i why Byrne claims he is coming out now.
Or it could all be BS, I'd never heard of him before ... Beanz said she has some questions as well but didn't want to interrupt ... a good story though ... Brenna chief bad guy.

Be sure to report back. We've been thinking about getting an air fryer, so I've just recently discovered that Instant Pot has an air fryer lid. My only hesitation with getting it is I think we want an multi-purpose unit that includes a rotisserie.

I've been experimenting with traditional air fryer wings for a while and have them pretty much figured out.
Short version: air fryer wings are great
Top of my head: heat stick of butter and cup of franks hot sauce, cook wings at 375 for 8 minutes, turn, douse with hot sauce mixture, cook for another five minutes, turn, douse with mixture, cook for a couple more minutes.
They'll be crispy at that point with a great flavor, but dousing them again won't hurt a thing if you like them messy.

This is yet another of those awesome Trump adaptations.
"Sir, you can't do rallies any more. The Governors have shut down their states."
"OK, is there anywhere they don't control?"
"Well, yes, sir, airports, but..."
"We're doing rallies at airports. Make it happen."
So they tried to shut down Trump rallies, and now they have Trump rallies with Air Force One or Marine one delivering the President. Hah!

Seems like a very cool plot for a 1970's movie -- I don't mean that in a bad way. The press plots to falsely report several key victories for the president as losses and they falsely report that the president has conceded. Half the country thinks it's true, a quarter thinks it's BS, and the other quarter isn't sure. A million people march on the white House and go all Romania on the president. I bet a few people in Soros's org have kicked some version of this idea around.

Posted by: Ian S. at October 27, 2020 08:40 PM (6XLoz)
That too. Sisko shaved his head, grew a beard, and then gave the galaxy a frigging enema. TNG you had to wait for the french homo to finish polishing his saddle, quote some moral shit nobody gave a fuck about, and eventually talk the problem to death. Kirk would waste half the galaxy, piss on the shes, and then take the green bitch.
Posted by: Berserker-Dragonheads Division at October 27, 2020 08:45 PM (9Om/r)
I once loved Star Trek so much I got our dorm floor to decorate up from TNG for Halloween.
In retrospect, ToS mostly holds up, but there is more than a little irony that Roddenberry, anti-capitalist, created the IDIC medal and ideology so he could sell trinkets at conventions. It also looks great on blu-ray.
I loved TNG at the time but as I grew older I saw how horribly shallow much of it is. TNG is just Sorkin level shit writing in space. I do not have TNG on DVD or BD.
DS9 brought consequences to the ST universe-in TNG you could even drink all you want and just shrug off the effects- it was free from consequence even on that shallow a level. But in DS9, things weren't solved in 60 minutes (or 120) and things had to be dealt with long term, not just write a script with an easy moral out and play the fan fare and everyone goes to sleep happy. Sometimes the wrong thing had to be done for the "right" reason. I wish this were on BD, but I doubt we'll ever see that happen.
That said, Babylon 5 did the whole "there will be consequences, and even the 'right' decision may lead to some horrible ones" better -and then got screwed by having to rush season 4 to make sure they had an ending and then hopelessly pad out season 5 when they got a reprieve.
No clue on Voyage as I checked out somewhere around season 2 except for a few eps, caught a few eps of Enterprise and that was it for my Star Trek fandom.

The Ferengi on TNG were basically the Klingons, except they're imperialist warmongering capitalist Americans where the Klingons were originally a Soviet analog (on TOS; TNG made them closer to Japanese). I don't think they were exactly ruinable given that.

It might be better to toss them in hot sauce after cooking, rather than before. But I was happy with how they turned out!

Music rights. That's why it's not in repeats and you can't even get dvds with the original music in it.
That's a major issue with shows from the 80's and 90's. No one even thought about physical media buys for whole seasons let alone that anything like the internet would even exist.

It helps to spray everything with cooking oil whenever you turn the food, too. That give a bit more browning/flavor.

DS9 redeemed the Ferengi quite a bit and punched a lot of holes in Roddenberry's utopia too. Towards the end it laid bare the misfunction in the federation. In one episode the main Ferengi Quark is talking to his nephew about the humans showing how dangerous and violent their altruism actually is.

Recommendation for a show to watch.
Australian series from the 90s called "Frontline". Except they changed the title to "Breaking News" in the US.
It totally skewers the TV news media and how shallow, cruel, and stupid they are. Would never be made here.
I watched it on the PBS ( ! ) affiliate in Spokane, WA around 1997-98. If you can find it, it's worth a look see.

I loved Zach in Chuck (which also starred HQ favorite Adam "not related to the insane ones" Baldwin), and Shazam! works exactly because of him.
That said, the movie's tonally a little weird. It's mostly fairly lighthearted but then there's also a couple of random scenes that are super dark. I feel like a little extra editing could've made it an even better movie.
Also, for people sick of seeing Manhattan destroyed in superhero movies, they destroy Philadelphia instead.
***************
I am currently watching for the 10th time the whole series of Chuck. I seriously love this series. Adam B as Casey is the best!! its on Amazon now.
Shazam was also fantastic. The only DC comic movie I have liked so far.

But, one of the critical failures of the Italians and Germans in that theater was to fail to capture Malta. Malta was the key to the British not being swept from the Mediterranean which could have led to the loss of Egypt and ultimately the Middle East and its oil.
The island of Malta endured a siege for about two years but the island rebounded to be key to clearing North Africa by cutting supplies to the Axis and allowing the invasions of Sicily and Italy itself.

- It replicated the layout of the original movie;
- The Pigeon Sisters were played by the two actresses who played them in the movie (and who also had originated the roles on Broadway).
Also, the first five or so seasons of Columbo are cherce. When they kept making them in the 1980s, they were lousy.

No news organization says this even if they thought it was true. Its retarded in the extreme.
Even if Chris Stirwalt believed this right down to his curled up Mecca boots and said it loudly a week before election, he would need to be fired if this was shown on election night to be entirely false...you just don't say these things and stay a viable news organization when votes haven't been cast. Its the Florida panhandle CBS gambit and its really wrong...they know it. I hope this really didn't happen.

I watched "The Autopsy of Jane Doe" without knowing what to expect.
It was excellent. A movie that just wants to creep you out and does.
3 other creeptastic horror movies I've seen lately and recommend:
1) "Noroi" (The Curse) 2005 - found footage about a psychic investigator investigating a disappearance.
Really pays off at the end as the movie keeps building tension higher and higher.
2) "The Wailing" - Korean. Country policeman gets in over his head trying to find the cause of people going violently crazy. Excellent pay off as well, Nice twists.
3) "The Taking of Deborah Logan" - a bit slow, but once the tension starts, it doesn't let up until the movie completely loses its mind...in a good way.

Italians were even less pleased by all accounts nor was the King and the losses in North Africa and at sea took whatever martial spirit that a lot of Italians had at the beginning of the war away.

Watch "Warehouse 13" as well. It ran concurrently with Eureka (starting in season 3, I think) and they are a shared universe with two crossover episodes. Warehouse 13 ranks in my top-5 all time favorite shows.
Several folks above mentioned Babylon 5. That is my absolute all-time favorite show, and favorite universe (we'll just pretend The Legend of the Rangers never happened, mmkay?). And the Mass Effect series, my all time favorite video game series, is basically a retelling of B5 in nearly every way. I'm waiting for the Mass Effect Remastered Trilogy to hit, I think it's supposed to be out around Christmas.

If they still have Karl Rove doing election analysis, that's entirely possible. "Just get 270" was how he ran both of W's campaigns, and both times it resulted in court challenges because the Dems would've only had to overturn one state.
Trump instead went for all the electoral votes he could get, and Hillary would've had to overturn three or four states as a result. That's why she gave up on challenging the results so quickly. Overturning one state? Worth a shot! Overturning three? Not so much...

The Chiense want you to think that it was American hackers, but zero chance of that, with sentences like
"the wordl has had enough of the fake-news spreaded daily by president donald j. trump."
The Chinese have a problem with tenses in English, because Mandarin verbs always stay the same, and tense is only indicated by "helper words." So they always go wrong trying to write past tenses, and do stuff like "spreaded," which no native Englsih speaker would ever do.
But it gets worse with more goofy Chinglish in subsequent sentences, and then their main claim: That Trump manufactured and released the corona virus! Duh -- dude -- you just gave away that you are the Chinese government, who are obsessed with not being blamed for the disease.

The Grey code was compromised and giving Rommel excellent information about order of battle, strategic plans, etc.
Another breach was a British officer giving secrets to his spy lover who was more or less eliminated because of it and his corpse used to plant fake plans on the Axis.
The last breach was in British unit radio intercepts being interpreted by a crack wireless intercept team of Germans. The Brits attacked and wiped out the team.

with Eureka (starting in season 3, I think) and they are a shared
universe with two crossover episodes. Warehouse 13 ranks in my top-5 all
time favorite shows.
Several folks above mentioned Babylon 5.
That is my absolute all-time favorite show, and favorite universe (we'll
just pretend The Legend of the Rangers never happened, mmkay?). And the
Mass Effect series, my all time favorite video game series, is
basically a retelling of B5 in nearly every way. I'm waiting for the
Mass Effect Remastered Trilogy to hit, I think it's supposed to be out

No matter how many times they get spanked they keep crawling back for more like the birches they are.
Paul Ryan's influence is complete.
So Fox is desperate not to be labeled as pro GOP, so they refuse to play the "the polls are wrong" game, becuase none of the other networks do that.
They went from being "we're the alternative to mainstream news" to "we ARE mainstream news."
The only difference are their primetime shows, which they only keep around becuase of ratings.

They desperately want it to be true. I have to listen to Fox radio and it has been indistinguishable from NPR's editorial stance for several years. The race is very tight, and Fox and the rest of the media know it and want to depress turnout. Remember what Stirewalt and Sammon did the night of the last midterm. They literally called the House while votes were ongoing in Orange County. Maybe it didn't make a difference, but Fox thought it would.
Most of Fox will be wailing along with the rest of the propaganda organs Nov. 3. Trump absolutely must declare victory if/once his advisors tell him it is in the bag. The media sure as hell is not going to call it except in the unlikely event Biden has a blow out.

4) The Norpoth model has been right 25 of 27 times

Went to a speech once by Jim Lovell and he talked about meeting Tom Hanks and flying with him as Hanks was about to make Apollo 13.

Does it include Andromeda?
Posted by: Warai-otoko at October 27, 2020 09:35 PM (6FeV1)
---------------------------------
I'm going to be a contrarian here. I liked Andromeda. I liked it a lot. Yes, it had some buggy textures and some shit animation, but every big RPG has those to one degree or another. I think that's the real reason it got unnecessarily bad reviews - people weren't expecting the style of the game. After the original Mass Effect, Bioware had to decide - do we make it more RPG going forward, or more action game? ME2 was far more action game, and ME3 had basically all of the RPG elements excised. For Andromeda, I think they saw their opportunity to take the other path, and the game reviewers who wanted more shooty-shooty and less talky-talky got all bent out of shape, and that infected the players. All of the people I know who, like myself, enjoyed Andromeda, were people who were hoping for more RPG after ME1. Andromeda needed work, and shouldn't have been released when it was, but it was a pretty good game nonetheless, and opened up a lot of possibilities that will now, unfortunately, never be realized. (That said, the Asari animations were pure shit.)

And I point it out because I thought the gentleman was a Scottish drinker but I was either misremembering or the movie implied it was. (Or I was thinking of the Scottish sailor mentioned in the "Michael" link.)

Maybe. But the idea is not that the media will be honest (as if they are ever honest). They will promote a narrative, even if it is a bald-faced lie. The whole alphabet of them reading the same script as they always do. The results will not matter in this case - at least not right away.
Posted by: Mookie at October 27, 2020 08:47 PM (3vIkC)
If the narrative isn't honest, those who buy into it will continue to be out of touch with the real world and lose even more support. Look at the Dems now versus Clinton, even. A bit of grift in the 90s and trading ideals for real power versus burning down and locking up their own supporters to cater to two of the most unpopular groups in the nation - Marxist elites and Commie punks.
Even if they won the Dems would have had trouble with Antifa and the like. Now, the progressives will either eat the estabishment Dems or leave them.

If I wasn't also looking at polling internals and early votes to confirm all of this, I would be less confident.

Duff Cooper, former Lord of the Admiralty, wrote a fictionalized version in Operation Heartbreak in 1950. That probably "burned" the deception in the British intel minds so that they felt it was okay to release the somewhat true story.

I'd recommend the first season of The Terror, originally broadcast on
AMC. Based on the Franklin expedition to find the Northwest Passage,
with a supernatural/gothic horror twist.
hmm Iris I wonder if that show is based on the book by Dan Simmons
Yes, it is. (Which I have not read, although I've been meaning to for years, as I've read a bunch of his other stuff). A friend of mine who watched and read it says there are some substantial differences. It was a great series, though.
I would also recommend "Fevre Dream", by George R.R. Martin. One of his earlier books, from the mid-80s. Vampires on the Mississippi in the steamboat era. One of the the two best vampire novels (the other being Stoker's Dracula).

I didn't like Violet Evergarden, it had huge potential and went no where, basically a story about a secretary and nothing more.
Funny shows on Netflix I'd say Dorohedoro or Disastrous Life of Saki, first is only half done, but funny and a good show. DLoS is a realm slapstick type show, but I honestly haven't laughed so much in a long time. It's very similar to Cromarti High School or Excel Saga.
The Great Pretender is also good, but only 2/3rd done, the ending airs Nov 25.
