Since we've got the Time Travel war movie going it has me thinking about Edge of Tomorrow. That is a good time travel war movie. I remember ace writing a review/recommendation for it and after seeing it one thing always stuck with me about one of his criticism. It's ace's contention that when you have the montage training of the guy sucking with the "weapon" at the start you need to have the pay off scene of them being the master of the weapon. Ace says Cruise never has that with the battlesuit. My contention is that the battlesuit isn't the weapon he has to master. It's the timeloop which he does.

The movie has time travel, alien monsters over running hte planet and you are bothered by people falling into a swimming pool and not getting injured. The entire movie concept requires you to suspend disbelief.I watched The Sum of All Fears last night with Ben Affleck. That requires you to believe that an Israeli plane carrying a nuclear bomb explodes and falls into a desert, doesn;t explode, gets buried int he sand and no one ever comes looking for it. The whole premise of the movie is unbelievable.

I posted a good time travel plot earlier today.
Guy claims he can transport people into the future, but can only get information sent back. Take a lot of energy, so expensive. Convinces people and sends them into an incinerator. Gets very rich. OK, forget the time travel - lets change that to transporting them to Mars. Is that more believable? Posted by: Gentlemen, this is junta manifest at July 09, 2021 10:31 PM (KxQaA) 415

First two Terminator movies were good popcorn films, and told a more or less complete story. Then, like many fails before and since, they decided to turn it into a production-line franchise and it went downhill quickly.

I have no tv sitcom or drama expertise. But I believe one of the problems is they don't know if they will be a hit, and they don't know when they will be cancelled. You start off with a premise, and hope it works and is accepted. Then you go on and you don't know how long it is supposed to go on. Few are willing to end a series for artistic purposes if someone is going to pay them to make more episodes.

504 I have no tv sitcom or drama expertise. But I believe one of the problems is they don't know if they will be a hit, and they don't know when they will be cancelled. You start off with a premise, and hope it works and is accepted. Then you go on and you don't know how long it is supposed to go on. Few are willing to end a series for artistic purposes if someone is going to pay them to make more episodes.

I recently read that after Seinfeld's first year, the ratings were still in the toilet.
It was bad enough that Larry David and Jerry, as well as all the writers, were called into a meeting with NBC brass who said "we want to make some changes." Jerry refused and wouldn't even listen past that point. Execs were flabbergasted. "You won't even listen to us? We'll cancel the show." Didn't even blink. Jerry and Larry just said "fine, cancel the show." They ended up getting barely one more year with NBC to bring the ratings up, and did so. Posted by: qdpsteve at July 09, 2021 10:58 PM (L2ZTs) 552

I never got the codes to be able to comment at Hot Air, so only read the content there, while "living" here.
Not sure when I finally quit them completely, but I'm sure it was some time AP was trolling his readers. I also spent a lot of time at RedState, but they had a giant scandal of insiders upvoting each other's content to keep it visible at the top of the page. It was a pretty hypocritical episode.

I recall someone calculated within the last decade that there were (at the time) currently more people alive than had ever died (based on what we know). Which was fun for the problems it caused with reincarnation, for example. So I'd go with 15 billion, depending on whether you think Atlantis was really a thing and how big (and related how many civilizations left no evidence to us of their existence).

579 Disney Star Wars is what happens when a big company with a bunch of warring internal factions decides that it's entitled to success and the warring factions drag customers into the war.
Posted by: CppThis at July 09, 2021 11:09 PM (8h1h1) I'm not sure how much waring appeared until The Last Jedi, certainly not in public, where they both blew up the theme of Star Wars but it also made a ton less money, showing weakness. And weakness invites challenge (huh, wonder if that applies to foreign policy?). Had Last Jedi and Rise of Skywalker been popular hits, you'd never hear of waring factions. But the audience didn't want them (Or Galaxy's Edge it seems) so the part of the people working there who didn't like the direction saw they weren't alone, and well, war.

Truth is they always thought themselves the thought leaders, hated what the base wanted but were willing to pretend they supported it to try to lead people to the candidates they wanted, who would in act or not repeal liberal social things, while still having a strong army to go kill foreign people and get graft.

Y'all know I'm a lower-class hillbilly deep in my heart of hearts. PBR, fried chicken, chicks in Walmart tank tops saying "Watch 'is", pickup trucks.....these are my comfort zone and the women's staples of my existence. But every now and then the reality of decanting cheap boxed wine marked surreptitiously only as "Red" or "Blush" at weddings begins to wear on a man's soul. Sure, the company is pleasant and the money is good, but how long can a man maintain a Ramen noodle level of existence before he begins to question whether the sum total of his accumulated knowledge is for naught?
Then the Bartending God throws you a bone like the party I worked tonight. There is something pleasant about pouring 18 year old Glenmorangie to guests that say "just one cube" or making Manhattans with Blanton's, Carpano Antica and Luxardo cherries.

My theory on why the Left can't meme:
Memes are generally a form of humor, and humor is inherently subversive. It goes against expectations. It punches up against authority. The Democrats are the authority now. They control all of the institutions. Academia. Media. Bureaucracy. Politics. Even increasingly Religion. You can't stick it to the man when you are the man, so every attempt at a meme they produce is just condescension, condemnation, or just plain punching down. The authority punching down at the little guy is something that's never going to be cool.

Newly-minted wet-behind-the-ears red-pill'ers might not realize it, but there wasn't really anything like this outside of a few obscure comment sections on, yes, mill blogs. A wild west.

Posted by: Patrick From Ohio at July 09, 2021 11:18 PM (dKiJG) I can. RvW was 73. So the presidents were Nixon (pfft), Ford (whose heart wasn't in it), the pius Carter (no Dem wanted near it), Reagan- Ok this might have been the only surprise, but he came to conservatism late and not sure how much this resonated with him. Then we have Bush the Spook, who was a social Lib followed by Bubba- please, he was probably the cause of a few abortions; Bush the Lesser who was a dribble off the family gene pool and wasn't going to fight for conservative social anything and McFuckStick, who voted in Ill to allow babies born alive to be left in closets until they weren't. In retrospect, it doesn't surprise me at all, though I couldn't figure out why at the time. It's like realizing after the fact how you had been conned, but accepting that you had and you can't change that but you can change the future.

Drudge is a great example of somebody who made his 10 million bucks and stopped giving a fig.
Posted by: qdpsteve at July 09, 2021 11:26 PM (L2ZTs) did he ever care? He broke the Monica Lewinsky Story and a one or two others, mostly about Hollyweird. But he became the go to site to check to see if the world was collapsing in scary times. He linked some good stuff from the Brit tabloids when no one else was doing it. Other than that, I don't recall much he did for conservatism or general knowledge. He did push Trump right up until the time he turned on Trump. That site used to be my first internet check, just to see if anything crazy happened overnight. I can't recall the last time I went there. I wonder who his base is now. But I never saw Drudge as a movement conservative. Hell just give the straight news, and even that would be something that would make you stand out.

Initially it was though Drudge was upset the Wall wasn't being built fast enough, but in retrospect that is probably around the time someone else either took over full time or was easing their way in.

So, I went to watch the latest Loki, and y'all make 200 posts. In case you're interested, the series is good, I'm enjoying it quite a bit. And the music is also very good. There is a scene in the one I just watched where one of the Lokis is doing something heroic (conjuring Asgard), and the heroic music playing has the melodic line from Ride of the Valkyries woven through it. It just works.

You can check many news articles and sites that say JWB was his favorite whisky, and they never go into the details. Posted by: Quint at July 09, 2021 11:44 PM (F2/Ok) 678

657 You're wrong about George W Bush regard to pro life action. And it was not that long ago when Trump said he would not stop the right of a woman to have a partial birth abortion. That is what almost kept me for voting for him.
Posted by: Just a side note at July 09, 2021 11:36 PM (2DOZq) *Shrug* I go by actions, and a champion of the unborn the Lesser was not. Hell his daughters (and wife?) are big PP supporters, and that kind of speaks to me about his commitment. Maybe wrong, but I don't remember him having a lot of actions to show otherwise. I felt the same as you on Trump. Like early on when he talked of having women put in jail (arrested?) for abortions it sounded like someone trying to mimic the base without understanding them. But credit to him, he was a late adopter and yet gave public support in a major way, and not one that he could shift later in a debate to try to (golden scalp) weasel out of to please moderates on the issue. Maybe with 4 more years he would have done more, but he did more than his predecessors who claimed it mattered to the party, or the guy who claimed his faith was his guiding light from GA.

The thing with the media makes sense when you look at the really big picture. Most any organization and movement is going to have both a micro scale aspect concerning individual members and a macro scale aspect concerning large scale organization. The different aspects tend to appeal to different people, and effective leadership involves producing a vision that involves both and keeping everyone on task to achieve it.
Both major US political movements have been bereft of such leadership for a long time--JFK was the last clear-cut visionary, with Gingrich a borderline case--and so the small-ball and large-ball groups have grown increasingly distant as they silo up and pursue their own affairs. They're not really even speaking the same language anymore, and it shows. Posted by: CppThis at July 09, 2021 11:51 PM (8h1h1) 705

I'll also say this about allocated whiskies, I disagree that they must only be nipped as is.
Just as I think sashimi is a wonderful presentation for fresh fish, I also believe a skilled chef can prepare a wonderful broiled or baked dish with it as well. It's not blasphemy to use allocated bourbons in a cocktail. Dumping 6 month old Rossi sweet vermouth on it probably is, but the mingling of premium ingredients can produce amazing cocktails that are every bit as delightful as neat or rocks presentations.

Point being, Drudge et al didn't really 'betray the movement' at some arbitrary turning point so much as stay on the large-ball track's existing vector of big armies and big accounts, where things happen slowly and most of the major players all know each other and have various gentleman's agreements in place. And in the absence of a serious external threat or explicit goal-setting they'll default to maintaining the status quo, and if a lot of pawns get cut down in the crossfire, well that's what strategists are supposed to do, right?

Posted by: Bitter Clinger at July 09, 2021 11:56 PM (93bOr) agreed there. People should do what they like. And for sure a good ingredient, like a good whiskey, will only make a cocktail better. I personally try to avoid sugar in things I don't feel need it. We all get our sugar one way or the other, in some ways booze is just denatured sugar. Same reason many who quit drinking for good eat a lot of sweets. And I agree about vermouth. Americans in general disdain vermouth. That is funny because in man parts of the globe they love the stuff. They drink so much very good vermouth in Spain that it even has its own term, vermuting. I basically means hanging out at a certain time of day, drinking vermouth and whatever, chatting and just having fun. Posted by: Quint at July 10, 2021 12:04 AM (F2/Ok) 736

My problem with Bush is he left his party in shambles with no heir apparent. Sure they changed that in quick order, but no thanks to him. He has been almost non existent as a former Republican president as regards to the party, heck, he almost seems against them. I do respect his work with vets, no question there. But as a leader of a party, that guy went away fast. Even to this day, more care about his dad.

Posted by: Walter Freeman at July 10, 2021 12:11 AM (+WWsf) i agree wholeheartedly and have said that here. He was forced on us by the party, and yes, they forced him into it too imo.

I love all the speeches at the Nixon Funeral. Sure you are not supposed to speak ill of the dead, but that was a powerful funeral. He was full of faults, there is no doubt there. But he inspired loyalty only comparable to Trump. Ask G. Gordon Liddy and so many others.
His version of conservatism was not mine. I was also too young to know much about him. But I have read some good books. I remember when he died. I recall his impact in the last half of this century. I also recall that he took a lot of hits and got back up. He never hid away, he stayed in the arena of ideas. He was probably the brightest we have had on foreign policy, including long after his term in office. Unlike almost every other Republican, even the lefties never call him dumb.

Posted by: Joe XiDen at July 10, 2021 12:38 AM (dCcLm) ..... I understand where you are coming from, but it's a bit of an unfair assessment. Somewhat akin to losing a loved one in a car wreck and saying they never should have bought a car. Trade with China wasn't intrinsically wrong as a policy decision. The results were not inevitable. How corporations and the government have handled trade with China since the opening of trade is more the catastrophe than is the original policy decision.

Berserker. NO need to nuke China in Nixonian times.
Just Haiphong their ports, and conventional strike every East China Sea airbase 200 miles North or South of Taiwan's lat/long. Three Rivers wasn't even a dream then, so we couldn't flood 'em any worse than they'd flood themselves. Peking? Just crater the runways, and repeat often enough that their "repairs", aren't.

Nixon was big government GOP, the historical record on him will be mixed. He was dealing with a very difficult time got some right some very wrong. And of course he gave us that thing called the EPA. His domestic record was kinda poor but he was dealing with a rather hostile Congress.
He did at least give us the comedy stylings of Spiro Agnew who gave us the stolid invisibility, inadvertently, of Gerald Ford. Who gave us Megan Marshack, Nelson Rockefeller's deathbed. Posted by: JEM at July 10, 2021 12:47 AM (8erNz) 846

"I was working in a job where you took calls from people in distress and someone called in and threatened to kill them self. I reported it to the police but said I didn't have an address, just a wireless number. The cop told me basically, in subtle language, that's ok, we can track that.

i was 1/18th Cav, and we had an M-88 coming back from Ft Hungry Lizzard to Club Bob on the "Burma Trail".... this, for awhile, runs along the east side of the reservoir, and past the dam... the trail then slopes down to the flats, and off to Bob you go.
said 88 had a track pin shear, on the left side of the victor. it rolled forward, until it ran off the track. AFV's being AFV's, it then took an immediate hard right turn off the trail.

Posted by: redc1c4 I kinda know that. You're responding to someone who has 11' thickness of Germany-centered WW2 books. OTOH, it was also Hitler who canceled the Germany-Russia military exchange program that had been initiated in 1922. That's a fascinating subject in itself. Had he not done that, well, he'd've known better what he was up against. In any event, there was no way Hitler could defeat the USSR *and* not get nuked. He only didn't get nuked because he lost first. Posted by: SFGoth at July 10, 2021 02:02 AM (KAi1n) 937
Actually, initiated in 1927. I correct and denounce myself.
Posted by: SFGoth at July 10, 2021 02:03 AM (KAi1n) 938
fortunately, it was just south of the dam, and therefore NOT headed into the lake. unfortunately, it was over the side and headed, out of control, down the steep slope of the canyon. i was there shortly after the event, and somewhere, have photos. track lying in the trail, scrapes of the 88 going over the side. big scrape where it hit a fortuitous outcrop that straightened it out, and a loooooong trail down to were it came to a stop.

Unfortunately no traveling for me for awhile. Too many complications. I have been lucky to catch BOC about, hmmm, 60 or so times. I need to do a count some day. That's nothing, though. Aside from band and crew, I know dudes who are in the hundreds. After BOC, it's around a half dozen each for the Grateful Dead and Cowboy Mouth. I'm not much of a concert goer, just a BOC fanatic.

Trying to drive through West Virginie was a mistake, by God.
Posted by: SFGoth at July 10, 2021 01:49 I had to drive thru WV back in 1977. Long story, was Easter break, graduation present was a trip to DC thru the campus religious center. I got stuck driving the part thru WV, amazing for a flatlander. Their cornfields were on the side of a mountain, maybe 5-15 acres, not like IL at all. I farmed a small farm but fields were from 10-110 acres in our case. On a totally unrelated note, it was an international group. My first time getting to know a couple of "Palestinian" guys. l'll just say I'm not generalizing but those 2 were azzholes. Does this get me on a list now, Bob from NSA?

According to 23 and Me, I'm 52% White and 48%...other than 'White'
Most of that 48% is Sub-Saharan African, with a smattering of Arab, with a smaller smattering of native-American and Asian. The White side is German and British.
