In Topic: Whats making you happy right now
Yesterday, 11:36 AM
For Fathers Day my kids (read: my wife) got me three 27" x 40" frames (not usually cheap or easy to find) to FINALLY house and display my three theatrical LORD OF THE RINGS teaser posters that I bought about 20 years ago (back when Toronto still had a movie poster store). I've never displayed them because: A. We didn't have the space t the old Condo and B. I wasn't about to put tacks through them and they are too heavy for museum putty, and 27 x 40 frames have always been nonsensically expensive compared to 24 x 36. But lo and behold Michaels (craft store in Canada) was having a deal on them, so the normally $50+tax EACH that they cost, was halved so she found me three for $75 total. A steal.
Anyways, it will be nice to finally get them up....they've been rolled in a protective cardboard tube since the early noughts. -

How well the army marches has nothing to do with how well they fight but honestly it looked so bad that it made the army look weak. Terrible optics all around.
Large formations that march in perfect lockstep obviously have nothing better to do and are only good for parades.
Do you realise how much practice is required to get more than a few dozen soldiers to march perfectly? Even just a march past? A LOT.
A lot of time that could be spent doing pretty much anything else that has actual value.

Heads up. Dan Abnett just gave an interview where he stated that the reason Bequin Book 3 (PANDAEMONIUM) isn't out yet is not due to him, but because it sounds like it might spoil some stuff that hasn't happened yet in-universe yet. So that's interesting. -

Finally watched THE BOY & THE HERON.
The first hour is SO slow and meandering, moreso than most Ghibli works...but about halfway it clicked what Miyazaki was doing. In his old age he's found that he needs to apologize for how his focus on his art took him from family and social obligations, including straining relations with his son and wife. Once I realized that, it slotted more into place and I was able to see it not as meandering, but more sequences and vignettes as thought, and memory. An excellent movie.
It's not going to ever be my fave Ghibli, and is probably on the lower rungs overall, but still a very good film from a studio that I love. -

Reading between the lines is Iran close to producing a viable nuclear weapon and Israel is having none of it? Not sure else why the US is withdrawing personnel.
Pessimist says... isn't this always the case? Is Netanyahu simply using Trump's presidency and free hand to do what he's always wanted to do?
Bibi needed another distraction.
Could it be that Netanyahu is looking for an excuse to extend his wartime powers after Hamas no longer seems like enough of a military threat to warrant calling that a "war"?
You mean to tell me the guy who talked ON CAMERA about endorsing and supporting Hamas not 5 years ago, and is now using them as a convenient excuse for his ethnic cleansing regime, would try to extend his powers? Nah, couldn't be right? The guy is on the up and up isn't he? The guy who once stood next to Ariel Sharon as his aide in the Oval Office and told Regan's SecDef that he should "mind his business and watch his mouth when talking about Israel", when the SecDef told Sharon that he would need to come clean about Sabra and Shatilla?
THAT guy? He couldn't possibly be doing things to hang onto power. /s
In reality, WATCH this POS vanish the moment the tides turn against him properly. He's gonna pull runner before anyone gets him in front of The Hague to stand trial.
