I remember reading a review of pulp fiction, I think it was Ebert, saying something like he liked how the dialogue "was at right angles with what has happening on the screen." The farmhouse scene and bar scenes are great examples of that too.

Shoshana is super hot. And “if you’re looking for a French girlfriend you might try Vichy” is a good zinger.

You don’t have to be stonewall Jackson to know you don’t want to fight in a god damned basement.

Seems real dumb, and not really supported. The honeymoon period is just one reason things are more easily passed then. The other is that presidents lead with their winners. Just do other shit for 3 months.

You are thinking of the tribute band from Pflugerville.

Boris Johnson now PM. On NPR they had a bit of a “get Americans up to speed” thing on him. Host: “his critics say he’s like Trump. But he’s actually different in many ways, correct.” Correspondent: “that’s right (explains how Johnson is actually smart)” lulz

sounds like a shithole planet

There are over 30,000,000 black people in this country, yet his list of people to hate was way shorter than that freakshow and i'm the idoit.

There are a great many people that used to vote republican on this board. They bitch about the current regime precisely because they wouldn’t follow the party off the cliff.

fed says it's recession time. looks like they've only been wrong 1 time in the last 60 years when the indicators get this high.

The Jihad Squad. Starring: a Catholic as Sharia Shakedown and a run of the mill Christian as Madame Iran.

it's also amazing that all the Jewish people seem to miss this rabid Antisemitism on the left.

Related to my post: we will see a D+ something wave in 2020 (I think the presidential year will tamp down the size of that wave). Plus his district is changing. Any generic D could beat him with those factors. The one person that isn't a generic D is running. She will be the one exception to the new truth that to does not matter who the individual candidate is.

No one is trying to bring people together. Pandering to morons gets Dems nothing. When the R has broadcast its desire to not participate in any reasonable way, Dems stopped asking them to.

Great. Chip Roy is beatable. Wendy Davis is the one person that can't beat him.

Reagan, Bush and W have very little to do with this.

it's amazing his voice still sounds like that.

You need some night of the jackal shit or something like that. Not some rough and tumble n**** like slim.

She looks just the same.

Agreed. I’d say that I am scared shitless.

Some Louisiana political consultant had a good tweet thread this morning. Talking about running against David Duke. He got 60% of the white vote in 90 for senator. Got more white votes in 92 for governor, but they were able to swamp him with turnout so the percent went down to 55. This situation is just what most white people want, and they’ll declare fealty to whichever party will give them that. With the electoral college, that can be enough for the presidency. I don’t think either party realty had a monopoly on this sort of thing from mid-70s until mid-Obama years. Now it’s the R focus.

A day of sitting on this and I want to rip on it even more, I guess because the original is an all-timer. It was like going to watch karaoke. Shot for shot from something so famous, without the actors being visible, just means you have all the lines you know but sounding a little off. It was a display of technical achievement in making it photorealistic, but it turns out that is impressive but not necessarily what I go to the movie for. If the first one had really missed something, then this would make sense as a second chance to get it right. But the first one is in the argument for the greatest cartoon movie ever. And the very few changes they decided to make seemed like they didn’t work. Of course the biggest thing is the Disneyfied expressions replaced with uncanny valley discussed above. They got rid of Ed, the dim witted but demented hyena, and replaced that comic element with some sort of annoying little brother dynamic that was supposed to be funny, which made them both less funny and less threateneing. They repeated jokes of the original, and where they didn’t often inspired groans like actually saying fart in Hakuna Matata. They were confined by the realism so they couldn’t have hyenas goose stepping in song. I thought John Oliver did well (other than his part in I Just Can’t Wait to Be King, which was distractingly bad). I thought Chiwetel Ejiofor did well as Scar, which was one I was worried about going in because I didn’t think he’d be able to do the menace of Jeremy Irons. But my guess is those two were the best because of the specifics of the character they played. A hornbill sort of feels cartoonish to begin with, and the dry Englishman villain thing sort of works when expressionless because it reads as “all of this is proceeding as I have foreseen.” Anyhow that’s me pushing back against something that will make megabajillions.

Soulless was actually the word I thought as I left the theater. Saw it today. Already had forgotten until I saw this thread.
