He had a very interesting career. A ton of different kind of movies. Yeah, I’m glad we’ll be getting one more from him.

Imperial Japan’s victims were primarily Asian, and I think due to that the West has glossed over a lot of Japan’s atrocities. Post-war Japan has gotten away with a ton of shit that the West simply wouldn’t countenance from Germany. Can you even imagine Angela Merkel posing with SS regalia and visiting Joachim Peiper’s grave? It would never happen, but Japanese prime ministers do the equivalent and the West shrugs. It’s not so cut and dry, as the above article suggests. The Japanese army attempted a coup after both bombs because they didn’t want to give up. Imagine a surrender before the bombs; I doubt the army would have allowed it. Also imagine if we had the bomb in 1942 and bombed 2 German cities. Think of the lives saved, not just of soldiers but of victims of the camps. If the bombs aren’t dropped on Japan, the war most likely drags on for awhile. I do believe that the bombs saved lives, and I don’t just mean American lives, I mean Chinese, Korean, and Filipino lives. After Oppenheimer, there’s been a lot of talk about looking for a Japanese point of view, but to be honest, I’d rather hear from their victims. I doubt you find a single Chinese, Filipino, Korean, or people from a bunch of other Asian countries, who think the bombs weren’t necessary. Again, just from simple math, the bombs most likely saved lives.

Sweep.

Tim Anderson just got himself knocked out.

Dead ringer.

Have you forgotten.

Larry Scott is dumb as hell. He destroyed the conference.

That’s a fun ending. Poor Shohei.

I apologize Dear Leader for the Twitter link but come on.

Funny how Republicans freak out about a person's pronouns, but have no issues using someone's identity-confirming chosen title.

I've watched the video at least a dozen times and laughed my ass off each time. I love it.

Sore-y everyone, I was watching the Calgary Stampeders, my favourite team, and having a nice glass of bagged milk with my ketchup chips, but I'm here now to tell you, that as a mining magnate, I mean Alaskan frontiersman, that I, an American, watched a few Youtube videos and am now an expert on my country, America (where I'm from). Oh no! The Alaskan sky is a nasty colour and the wind is at kicking up to 80 kilometres per hour. I need to go shore up my log cabin, in Alaska (where I live). As an American (who I surely am).

Hopefully they post his real weight. He’s gotta be pushing three bills.

If Marlon Brando can have lines delivered via earpiece, so can she.

Death, taxes, and a billion runners left in scoring position.

July Mikey and Nicky 4/5 Love Peter Falk. This gave me some real anxiety and feels to fit well with Banshees of Inisherin. When is a friendship just not worth it? Who Framed Roger Rabbit 4/5 I hadn’t seen it since I was a kid. Perfect companion to Chinatown. Bob Hoskins is an all time great actor, one of the best to ever do it. The Killing 4/5 Hadn’t seen this since college. Elisha Cook is so good at being a loser. The King of Comedy 3.5/5 Not my favorite Scorsese, but I’m trying to see every one of his. 8 1/2. 5/5 A lot of rewatches this month. Divorce Italian Style 3.5/5 Got a kick out of seeing how La Dolce Vita plays an important role in the plot. Man the makeup crew really had Marcello Mastroianni looking old as hell in 8 1/2 cause he looks quite young and handsome here, just 2 years prior. The bags under his eyes in 8 1/2 should have won makeup the Oscar.

So Trump wanted to use the military to kill Americans who protested his coup.

Replacing Doug Jones with Tommy Stupidville is like replacing Shohei Ohtani in your lineup with Kolton Wong.

Praying one of the co-conspirators is Ginni Thomas.

9/11 turned every country singer into a fascist boot-licker and their fans into suckers who just gleefully eat up slop.

Never saw a single Pee Wee Herman anything. When I was young my parents had weird hang ups about some things and that was something We Were Not Allowed to watch.

Oh yeah. I saw the real good version. It's fantastic, but still, Once Upon a Time in the West is like a top 3 movie for me.

The Morricone score is one of his best. Not as good as Once Upon A Time in the West though.
