I have to be in a certain mood to even attempt an A24 movie. I finished the Lighthouse and wished I didn't. I thought it was a stupid movie and actually laughed at it. I saw Mr. Bean's Holiday a few weeks before and I couldn't separate Willem Dafoe's characters.
I got about halfway through Hereditary before realizing I wasn't in the mood for that shite and turned it off.
Probably the only one in A24's catalog that I haven't seen and am curious about because of all the hype around it is Uncut Gems. But I've got to wait until I want to watch a movie with a dark vibe.

It's been gradual ever since they weren't able to loot and tax non-British people. They became powerful via other people's productivity.

Dominos is the Burger King of fast food pizza. Depending on the franchisee it ranges from gross/inedible to not bad. You can feed a family of 4 for under $20 at Dominos if you order online with coupons and pick it up.

re: The Age of Disclosure responds to UFO files release order
Posted by BitBuster on 2/20/26 at 6:38 am to hawgfaninc
I've said it before and I said it again. The timing is because of the end of the nuclear treaty with Russia that happened a couple of weeks ago.
We're going to disclose that we have a way to either defeat nukes, or something better than nukes. UFO's are our military and we're going to disclose to the world what we've got.

Keep a pack of 2mg Nicorette gum handy. Use that as your emergency brake first before going buy more cigarettes/cigars.
If you buy a pack of cigarettes, if you're anything like me, then you'll find any excuse in the book to smoke the whole pack before they "go stale" and bam, you're making excuses to smoke again.
ETA: The pouches are much cheaper than the gum, and are way better, but they are super addictive and easy to use. You won't think twice before going through a can of Zyn in a couple of days, but you'd probably only chew a gum when needed.
It's really weird how chewing a gum removes all craving and mental gymnastics for wanting a smoke.

re: Casablanca - Would Captain Renault have banged the Bulgarian Bride?
Posted by BitBuster on 2/19/26 at 3:59 pm to Mr. Misanthrope
I've seen Casablanca many times and I would agree it's the best film ever made. They truly caught lightning in a bottle. There are lots of stories out there on how the shoot was a complete mess from beginning to end because the ending wasn't set until the last minute. The true magic was made by Curtiz's directing and Owen Marks's editing. I think in anyone else's hands it would have been a slog of a movie.

It only makes sense when you view it through the lens of people actively and intentionally destroying existing elements of pop culture as part of a larger anti western cultural agenda.
I'm not a conspiracy threorist, but shockingly, I tend to agree with you. You can easily dismiss what happened to Star Trek and Star Wars IP as extreme corporate greed and lack of imagination by the major studios. But, like you said, if you take a step back and look at it, they really ruined a core part of pop-culture that celebrates western ideaology.
At its core, the main characters of the original star trek were a microcosm of what was going on in america. Star trek proved that all these different people could work together to tackle anything. I can see chinese investing heavily into destroying it.

Oh man, that gun rack brought me back. I know dad quit doing it because people were stealing the guns when they drove into town. He never got his stolen but a couple of buddies of his got smashed and grabbed at the gas station.
Same reason a lot of guys quit bringing their guns to school like that. Not that the school had a policy or anything at the time.

AMC showed it on Valentines day so of course I rewatched it. Claude definately played Louie tighter in the roulette scene. Upon rewatch, I agree he seemed genuinely pissed off and threatened to get his revenge by getting Ilsa.But then, after Le Marseillaise plays, and the german makes him shut the place down, even though he obviously doesn't want to, he's back to his glib self. "I'm shocked, SHOCKED to discover gambling"

It's serious. I have a straight A student and instead of encouraging him to go into electrical engineering and get a 4 year degree, I'm considering telling him to go be an electrician.
For years we've send entry level jobs offshore to India, Singapore, Indonesia, etc. We hire foreign electrical engineers because they're willing to work for cheaper. Now with AI and all those guys have the seniority and experience, they're the only ones who will know how to use it, or whether AI is BSing them or not.
Foreign workers will hold all those jobs, not our children. We will be shut out entirely.
ETA: Before anyone says, that's just business, look who are the CEOs of these tech companies.They've raised in the ranks because they are the most knowledgeable and competent now. It's a major, major problem. Killing knowledge based careers isn't sticking it to the liberals - it's a national security risk.
