Prometheus is one of the very best films of the 2010s, and invariably people who don't like it are either A) dumb and don't understand it; or B) counts. The story of the dude from Duran Duran’s Wild Boys video. I’m too young to understand what this means so I’m going to err on the side of caution a...

Anyone on here driven any IC yF or E Paces? Are they up to much? Seen a few knocking about on used market and herself form some reason, seems enamoured.

Another one for Knives Out being far better than Glass Onion. Which I thought was shit.

Fck me, there are people that thought Glass Onion wasn’t shit?

1. The Godfather movies are completely over-rated. 2. All super-hero movies with the exception of Dredd are absolutely awful trash consumed by man-children. 3. The inclusion of modern political and social agendas in movies is probably the chief reason for the downfall of Hollywood - the best movies...

Nominating Harris was a disaster. Dems needed someone from the outside to run with an 'I'll be different' message. Harris couldn't deliver that message and when was asked she what have done different to Biden, said "nothing". Newsom was the man to go with but Kamala's team elevated her immediately ...

I saw a tweet that referred to Walz as a white liberal minstrel show. Haven’t been able to get the thought out of my head.

The AP finally calls Virginia for Harris... Michigan keeps switching colours every time I log back in, but a long, long way to go in the counting around Detroit.

Forget the swing states. The most unbelievable, telling result of the night right now is New Jersey. Bear in mind, this is a state Biden won by 16 points.

My final guess is Trump 316-222. All the swing states plus New Hampshire.

Could see PA and WI going Harris though. But that’s still a Trump victory.

Trump comfortably. Immigration is dynamite. The Republicans made the border issue worse so they could campaign on it, and got away with it. Canadians just can't be stopped. The next 4 years will be entertaining. Whichever side wins, there will be a landslide in the opposite direction next election ...

I take it you are not voting for Harris then? You raise some interesting points around the Harris candidacy, but I would push back on a couple of things. One is enthusiasm, and I don't think it is an anti-Trump enthusiasm vibe either. Uncle Joe was a dead man walking and Trump was so confident of w...

Uncle Joe S thought the same thing when he gave Mr Kim the nod in 1950 . Taiwan is a lot more important to the US than Korea.
