Demolition of Muslim Properties Sets Off Deadly Violence in India
When officials arrived to raze a mosque and seminary ruled to be illegally located on public property, they encountered hundreds of protesters.

The wheel or fire isn't man's greatest invention or discovery. It's organised religion hands down (war included). Henry Ford couldn't raise a voluntary army in a moments notice if he wished. Teach the Catholic Church's history or the caste system in business schools so they make more of a killing than they already do. All it takes to grab power is fire and brimstone, it's going to be my first vote and wonder whether to bother with the elections seeing as it's already cemented, 1.4 billion d only make for sunstrokes standing in line 

Ugh. One more to go

Dang, until you quoted it, I thought he was saying Swearington reminded him of far older TV. 

*Stares off into the dark*

If it's any consolation to you senior citizens. I'd vouch ya'll are young at heart 

Or maybe its just I've too much of a boomer in me to fit in with my generation whatever they call themselves now

Inherent racism on part of the  Harkonnens in underestimating them(consider them to be savages ) 

The EIC and The Crown sure didn't make that mistake with us didn't they...

If only it hadn't happened the other way, petty feuding elitist pricks playing at the game way out of their depth

I agree and disagree. The use of magic to conceive is likely. Conception without sperm.... less so.

Deadwood pilot has me hooked

Also John Hawkes as Sol Star. Look at how True Detective Night Country wastes him, tsk

I'm going to finish Dark

I think we're a perfect match, never believe anything else

sniff

Eyes Wide Shut is a misunderstood masterpiece. 

Deadwood pilot has me hooked. Not sorry to drop Boardwalk empire after s2. Al Swearangen reminded me of how I fell in love with old TV. How The Sopranos and The Wire felt not so long ago. Damn fine these three Davids.

Which Faulkner work are you reading?

Oh Sorry, As I lay Dying. 

Faulkner is quietly devastating

Now that's sad, but that's the story of my entire political life.

...here

There's that spider thingy from Stranger Things scribbled

If I had Danvers for a mom I'd become Holden too (The Judge, Blood Meridian) Naturalamente the natives keep dropping off like flies...

And Ange goes on to ask what I've been ranting since e1, anyone Liz hasn't fucked yet?

Successfully got me to hate the protagonists beyond redemption. First class arseholeness which no half assed trauma backstory can rationalize. 

Writing drops even more than the shitty acting. Poor man's horror moments. Budget that bad?

I'd drop if it wasnt just 2 eps left to wind up the shitshow. Ugh No wonder I get flak for having True Detective in my top 5 fave shows serializd profile. Just for the first season I endure. 

Just finished Dark and now the burnt eyeballs and ruptured eardrums here in TD:NC...

And Otis Heiss is a German national

who mapped the CAVES

I'm going to finish Dark waiting for the next True Detective episode lol

Underline, I think it's just the amount of sexuality, in just 3 episodes we see her have sex with her boss, she says she is on Tinder, then it's implied that she had sex with the young cop, hence Mrs. Robinson reference.

Don't forget the mine owner and another whatshisname. Husband and whoever the father of that kid in the dreams provided she's the mom

2nd bold, when I hear that term I reference it to the SE part of the US. Hearing it in Alaska seems odd, unless they are trying to tie those people in with season 1? Unless that's a common term used in Alaska? 

Hell, I've never crossed 66.5N and am willing to bet otherwise

What's the issue with Foster on tinder?  People fuck.  It's a basic human need

I've been ranting on that since E1. I can't think of any reason the show is helped by why her having sex with half the characters or insinuated to have done so/ will do so.

3 hours ago, Larry of the Lawn said:

And the word hillbilly?  How is that bad writing?  Yes, it's a synonym for redneck

How many times do you use that in a single episode. And those guys are fighting because someone called them so. Near the damn North pole. Wasn't Texas or shit.

I'm not sure why it's weird for it to be a go-to description of the kinda of guy who gets excited to wander around on S&R with a rifle

It's a weak substitute for any trigger happy fool imo

I'd take this over season 2s writing anyway.  Pretty sure Vince Vaughn says "apoplectic" at some point

Ugh, anything would shine in comparison to s2

I dig the orange- pretty good stand in for a pomegranate when you're north of the Arctic circle, no?  Maybe a nod to Persephone?

Nice, I like that. Since I've been fixated on the awoken one to be Gaea, more greek mytho please  

damn polar bear son again

and even me in the sweltering tropics knows nobody freezes to death with such an expression on their faces. No need to call the caribou (damn missed that word earlier) expert or shit

edit

just going to ignore the fishing line licking

and the woken female whoever. Exhausted fucks to give. The under 30 guy cracked the phone huh. What a surprise Anne, nothing new though in your video so you can poof off

oranges, in the title sequence, peels too. Ange picks 1 up dropped by the hillbillies (foster uses the same word more than once, thrice. And redneck, srsly writing though) Hank recruits. Then the rest supernatural shit

The wheeler case parallels the marsh "shootout" s1

blue hair dye, anne and ange's sister both

oliver tagaq the hair lady susan used to see the guy hunting elk/moose/reindeer rudolph for all i know in ep1?

and I've had it with the pervading nympho vibe.  Lost tally, like the domestic abuse cases. She's on tinder after she's fucked half the state. Keep up the "empowering" characterisation.

And who doesn't ask to spell Tagaq on the radio, numbnuts that's who

numbo doesnt know mrs robinson!? srsly

she watches netflix

ariana grande

she prays!? Lady, this is the show that gave us fucking Rust Cohle. Now what. join a cult?

And stomping around blasting off is not simply equal to good acting . Neat way to explain off a boston accent. 

ok I didn't ever see the credits for the names only the easter eggs but i know now it's written by a woman, call me sexist or shit but I'm giving up trying to figure shit rationally. Emo shit. Meta moment when Foster copes, telling all is well, there's a reasonable explanation

Like hell there is

In regards to the John Wayne and John Ford collab westerns and others too, painting all the Natives as savages and and condoning the manifest destiny idealogy, I know of the social ramifications but anything deeper politically?

You forgot the ships!  

You know me -- blood and thunder history, intrique, betrayal, gods and goddesses, heroes and heroines, good army stuff.  Or the occasional cops/corrupt politicians/etc. -- but no no no! romance, love, etc.  Nonono!  

Right now I have no time for exploration again -- no watching time at all in about three weeks, none, none, none.  No reading time either.  Not until late March.

Actually, what I meant about not watching Indian film, is I meant the Hindi stuff.

Pardons for my oversights 

You might like Malaikottai Vaaliban (Malayalam), the latest from Lijo Jose Pellissery whose Jallikattu (2019) was the official Indian Oscar entry that year.

I won't try explaining what it's about, the gorgeous trailers give nothing away either. But it's right up your alley.

Kurosawa and Leone meet big time Lynchian mindfuck

Polarized reviews but I voutch. 

And whenever you're free, March or thereon, ask away!

Yikes, allow me to point you to far better Bollywood dances my friend : 

 

 

Far better dances in the regional woods imo

After all guys up North borrowed everything from AR Rahman, Aishwarya Rai to Prabhu Deva (Mani Ratnam notwithstanding) to stay afloat

I may not watch any more Indian films at this point, at all, unless TheLastWolf suggests something!

Fire away then! What will it be ma'am, the usual horses-and-elephants, or are you willing to try the day's special?

Still, it's an interesting show of Indian political sensibilities anno 2024.
