The Pitters' Place

Yeah - some fucked up shit in all of that.

Also - why is it in every single facebook/news article comment thing there is literally always some absolutely random mention of someone being a democrat or a republican.

Hmm - yeah, I wasn't all that sure what to make of the opening title sequence. The thoughts it evoked, for me personally, was juxtaposing the razzmatazz glitz of flag waving patriotism against the naked reality of actual real life. Which, I guess you could pull out of that that he was making a point...

Nocturnal Animals was really good, but I thought it did have a message: sort of a takedown of the materialistic lifestyle. Yeah - that's not what I got out of it at all. I mean, they clearly made a point that she chose the wrong "Right guy" .. and lived a life of financial success and sec...

Yeah - maybe convoluted was the wrong word. What I guess I meant they just dropped stuff into the plot without building an actual story with any real depth out of it .. Meteor strikes earth which releases this horde that only invades once in a while - employ the whole "This time they have evolv...

Hacksaw ridge Mel's latest outing which I went into with mixed expectations. Got great reviews but then again, not particularly a fan of Mel's directing. Hacksaw came thru tho, surprisingly well balanced movie that has possibly the best cannon fodder scene that depicts the senseless brutality of wa...

You live with 74 out of 100 points of privilege. You're quite privileged. You've had a few struggles, but overall your life has been far easier than most. This is not a bad thing, nor is it something to be ashamed of. But you should be aware of your advantages and work to help others who don't have ...

Not in my experience, which is reasonably comprehensive. Bangers, usually pork sausages, should be absolutely full of porky fat and juicy. The texture is different from the breakfast sausages I normally get when I am in the states, hard to put a finger on the actual difference. To me, American break...

Just to let everyone know salmon posted a comment a few days ago after my latest one is which he basically admitted I was right and agreed with every major thing I said, but he deleted it for some reason. This sounds like something I would make up but I'm not. So basically, I won. Okay, continue. Y...

Holy fucking hell - imagine if that happened to you in an age where we didn't have the sort of tools to dig it out!

Not really, you'd just have to ignore it, like the United States has done for the past two hundred years whenever the government encountered speech it didn't like. Despite our fetishization of the concept the history of this country is infested with the government legally restricting freedom of spe...

Over here we've got the other extreme where saying racist things publicly on the internet can land you in jail, but nowadays I'm not so sure it's a bad idea after all. [none] The censorship here is a bit too much, but sites like Stormfront would have been instantly shut down before they had time to...

Probably makes all the difference if you haven't seen the movie (more than read the books) simply because they seem to be attempting to recreate the movie on an episodic basis rather than interpret the books fresh. And because I thought the movie was particularly good, the series comes off weakly de...

What if giving Nazis and other racists free speech rights makes it more likely that they'll gain a legitimate following and do some serious damage to the world? This is pretty much a slippery slope argument. Changing freedom of speech laws on a case by case basis is not a concern because "oh m...

Must be difficult having a fictitious birthday so close to date of the Bowling green massacre -

Happy non-birthday from me and our esteemed prime minister - Mr Trumbol

this isn't all that different from rabid Christians attempting to justify abortion centre bombings. Their sincerely held belief being that abortion clinics murder babies so, an appropriate response to this is to damage abortion clinics .. Well - no its not. I actually consider that to be both justi...

I mean, I use IMDB all the time for stuff outside the boards; just to look up what actor is in what and such. But the boards were also a helpful place to ask questions about a move when you wanted to know something. My place for that type of thing now though is http://movies.stackexchange.com . I n...

For most things I would agree, but the idea that punching Nazis makes non-Nazis look bad doesn't really work. Well, that wasn't my primary point but, I do actually think that attempting to justify it as being right, is a bad look because it goes against the ideals I think liberals should be fightin...

Started watching this about a week ago and really did not like it. Not 100% sure exactly why. It looked brilliant, I mean, visually. They did a pretty amazing job of recreating the look and feel of the movie and I really enjoyed the movie. The issue I had was that it just didn't feel authentic .. li...

Yeah - I voted no, its not ok to punch Nazi's But Aels, Punching Nazis Is Hypocritical: I have seen this argument a lot, usually in Daily Mail comments. LIBRULS ARE SUPPOSED TO BE THE PACIFIST ONES BUT NOW THEY ARE SHOWING THEIR TRUE COLOURS AND LIBRULS ARE THE REAL TYRANTS SO MUCH FOR POLITICAL COR...

Can't say as I had any real knowledge of who this fella is - looked him up and thought "Oh, he was the asshole boyfriend of Will on Will and grace"..

I was pretty disappointed with it. Not nearly as good as Abrams' Star Trek, which is the only Star Trek I've ever liked. Sort of this - I wasn't disappointed with it but, it wasn't as good as Abrams Star Trek - but was much better than Into Darkness. At this point tho, and much like Spider-Man/supe...

Question for the board: have any of the celebrity deaths this year emotionally affected you in a significant way? I honestly can't think of the last time I was emotionally affected by the death of a celebrity since George Carlin died in 2008. The only ones that came close this year to affecting me ...

"I'm not sure about describing their relationship as good before the discovery, though, because it wasn't a natural scenario. He'd been researching her for months and finding out about her life: what she liked, what kind of person she was, her dreams and beliefs, and even if he had never consc...

"I felt that that was more powerful, because it managed to sympathise with both Aurora and Jim, as well as more clearly invited her to realise that if she'd been in that situation, her own moral principles (which at that point she was certain about) might have failed her as well" Yup, rea...

think that they didn't sell Jim's loneliness enough in the movie, which was partly a result of them condensing a lot of that (they wanted to rush through it to maximise JLaw's screentime). I kinda feel like what they showed on screen was enuff to set the scene. there was more than simply Pratt grow...

Just watched it! It wasn't as bad as I feared - the first half in particular was great, and overall it was sufficiently entertaining - but they totally hollywood-ised the script to make it much more formulaic than it should have been, and the minor changes made the eventual romance much more morall...

Predestination - Amazing. One of the top movies of the year for me, at least for the story. The film probably could have been better in the hands of different or more experienced directors. But it's one of those awesome plots that just hurts your head to think about it because of the various tempor...

No - just trying to maintain a positive attitude - There's still plenty of "down" to drill into, Trumps gonna be your president after all, but I don't live in the States so .. there's that, altho I do live in a world where Trump will be a major player ... there is that as well ..

Let's see how this one turns out - I remain cautiously optimistic !

I've read how a lot of serious dramatic actors try to pull off a funny role and comment on how it's one of the most difficult things they've ever done Point in case would be Meryl Streep - arguably a massive talent but almost universally hopeless at being funny - almost every movie that I have seen...

Awww... I looked at your list and was gonna congratulate you for having good taste, and then realized you just copied and pasted my list. [none] Lol - yeah, given I disagreed with the one movie on your list that I have actually seen - I doubt that we'd be in sync on our tastes anytime soon. there a...

Yep - I read the reasons why you dislike him, and I'm hardly interested in going back and forward defending him. I can see why you could claim he is generic - I just find him immensely likeable, both interview wise/ outtake wise and acting wise. I couldn't comment on his acting abilities past saying...

Stumbled across "Black mirror" while rambling thru Netflix looking for something to keep me entertained for a couple of seasons and, liked it a great deal. One of the favourite things I've ever watched on Netflix was the episode of Black mirror where the women wakes up in a room with pills...

Was absolutely looking forward to this but kinda expecting to be disappointed. Having said that - I have never heard of the story before and won't be disappointed by any actual departure from its original premise. I just saw the ad's and decided it looked like something that could be really good - l...

Well - Rate and calibre and age of the deaths of those involved. I've lived thru a few years of celebrities dying but I can't remember ever living thru this many surprise deaths - like Robin Williams, Prince, George Michael, Even Carrie was surprising in that she had a fatal heart attack at 60. I'm ...

Guess if you liked ep9 - you musta loved 10 - Nice ending, leaves a few questions remaining but, holeee-fuck

Hey - Haven't seen this weeks episode on account that I am travelling and in Sydney and my hotel doesn't have showcase .. which blows. So - Guessing they have confirmed that Bernard is Arnold officially now. There were quite a few clues I guess - the biggest one being when Ford was showing Bernard t...

Maybe we can evolve into one of those gas cloud alien things from Star Trek.

I'm already half way there **fart jk**

I've been avoiding online theories because I don't want this show spoiled. I'm enjoying the mystery. Yeah - probably the best way to go really but, I've found myself obsessed with this show and so gave into temptation. I have wondered about the timeline though, because at times it seems hosts are r...

I've seen every episode. I loved the premier, then they lost me a little for a bit, but last week's episode was on point. Last episode was awesome - but then again I thought all the other episodes were pretty awesome as well What are your thoughts as to the multiple time line theory thing that's go...

It's on my cable here - on "Showcase" .. which I have no idea Translates over in the States or whether its considered premium .. I think its part of the basic Cable service here at least . My hot tip - when the seasons finished and downloads are posted .. or it comes out on BluRay - I high...

I am - and I'm enjoying it all way more than I thought I would. Very "Nolaneque" in a way, Loving Evan Rachel Wood and Anthony Hopkins.. Scripts is tight, story is about as original a story as you could possibly tell when working with base material that's nearly as old as me .. and there's...

Anyway, Malta looked beautiful as ever from your FB feed, you really are lucky to have roots there, mine are in the West Midlands, not so pretty. Malta was awesome, as always. Loads of new work being done to restore all the old buildings and capitalise on its tourism potential. Also helps that load...

About to watch s7ep1 now - Guess all will be revealed soon enuff.. Also guessing you USA types already know who's bought it!

Sorry to hear it Gendo!
