No. They're going up, massively, and have been for 40 years. The value/purchasing power of each dollar earned has plummeted though, and wages aren't conversely mirroring that = people are in effect earning less and less each year. ? Assuming we are talking the west here and not the globe as that is...

There can be very few people in the western world who have paid less attention to films than me in the last ten years or so, but my impression is that there have been a number of non-superhero films released this year. Some of them look quite good. Are they allowed to be discussed or are my impress...

I liked Godless but found the shootout to be pretty poor and disjointed actually. Yeah, I agree. The woman all suddenly turned into badass shots and it seemed like there was a limitless supply of bandit cannon fodder. Yep, but then somehow the cannon fodder standing out in the open turned it around...

UncleFB

Huge binge fest over the last couple of weeks ... Godless - liked it a lot, could have been trimmed by an episode or two, and possibly had the best western shootout ever (long form, anyway, Unforgiven still probably my fav though it's over in a flash with a badass wrap-up) Dirk Gently - (first over...

I think you guys are reading too much into it. I love dumb movies. Those action flicks from the 80s and 90s are great viewing....just fcking tired of the 23rd batman movie and 14th spiderman movie. They are literally rebooting spiderman within the same decade, that's how bad it has become. Need mor...

What I find weird, is complaining about a genre of film and wondering why people go and see them. People like Superhero films, that's why they're big at the box office. If you don't like them, don't go see them. I don't like musicals on film, I generally don't go and see them, when I do (La La Land...

What are the numbers like for Black Panther? If it flops will the non-attendance be taken as a form of racism? The real question is how China are going to manage that theatrical poster. https://cdn.cnn.com/cnnnext/dam/assets/151209103057-star-wars-china-racism-poster-exlarge-169.jpg :? x( :lol: :lo...

Actually Guardians of the Galaxy is quite good too. Pretty sad it's crossed over with The Avengers. I thought the first one was really fun. I watched the second one a few weeks ago and all I remember was that they fought a stupid fat alien thing at the beginning and the tennis shoe wearing computer...

Too many good shows on these days, getting hard to find the time to watch them all. The last 15 years or so really is the golden age of tv. (which is ironic because it's the dark age of movies) Well, that is utter bollocks - if you don't like blockbusters (and there has always been popcorn movies) ...

UncleFB

Have seen plenty of genuinely good super hero blockbusters in recent times. Logan. Deadpool. That last Antipodean Thor movie. People have very short memories about blockbuster trends, though. Try to watch virtually any blockbuster action movie from the 90s, or early noughties. The scripts have none...

Someone should have thrown a dildo at her. It's tradition now. Wouldn't the tradition be to throw it at one of her underlings? (TBH, I can't remember all the dildo incidents but I didn't think Key had one thrown at him.) So someone should throw one at Robertson? Yeah, I guess he's a Joyce equivalent?

I first saw him as the Dad in Say Anything and it took me a long time to not think of him like that on Frasier.

Definitely thought he would be older than 77.

The report button is not for whining about the political stance of others. Don't.

I crack up everytime I read that because in my head I say it as a white person (or any coloured person) who can't pronounce hangi properly. Small things when you're having a boring day at work.

Good Magpies representation again - pity they didn't also pick up Jonah Lowe though instead of the Wellington team.

So we're back to following politics as if it were a sport with the agreement being good or bad depending on who is proposing it? What do you mean back to? ;) Jane Kelsey is a bad person. She should not be listened to or quoted by any side about anything. Can you enlighten us as to why Kelsey is a b...

Anscombe had pace and a decent boot. Still nowhere near the ABs. As seen on the weekend, he's about 3rd/4th choice for Wales. I'd imagine had he stayed in NZ, he'd have ended up about 4th/5th choice. So not a lot of difference. Had he stayed in NZ he’d be behind; Cruden who is in France Sopoaga who...

I didn't know it had started, which is annoying as I would have recorded the games and got up and watched them while I had breakfast this morning.

So who are the NZ/ AUS/ SA young outside backs expected to get plenty of game time and likely to stand out this season? Anyone knew on the scene? If Jonah Lowe had been picked up by any other team than the Canes then I'd suggest him, but the Canes wont give him decent game time even if every other ...
