Come to Australia. Our most exciting news is whether the govt will get an absolute majority. Our Islamic atrocity saw the police and the crazy dude match each other one victim each.

I'm not so sure. Look at the raw results for first preference results in the Senate. One Nation is the 4th of 5th most popular party across Australia. I'm stockpiling popcorn in case they end up getting several senators after preferences.

On another journey, the truckie gives a lift to a priest. Later, as he's barrelling down the road, he sees an Abo ahead, he plants the foot down, and speeds towards him. At the last moment he remembers he's got the priest on board, and swerves, just missing the Abo.
"I'm terribly sorry about that, Father".
"That's OK, my son, I got him with the door".

A garbage truck stops outside a ramshackle old house in Redfern.
The garbo yells out to the old Abo sitting on the front step: "Hey, where's your bin?"
Abo answers "I've bin in Queensland".
Garbo: "No, where's your wheelie bin".
Abo: "Well, I've weally bin in jail for the last two weeks, but don't tell anyone".

One Nation wasn't an option in the ACT, and wouldn't have likely been high on my list if it were, but I'd have put them ahead of Reclaim Australia, which was about half way on my list.

Anyone who thinks there hasn't been female heroes before hasn't seen a horror movie since about 1971.

I can think of two classic contemporary horror movies - John Carpenter's The Thing and Se7en - that don't feature strong female leads.

The rest - from Rosemary's Baby, Black Christmas and The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, through Halloween, The Fog, Day of the Dead, Nightmare on Elm Street, Silence of the Lambs, the Scream franchise, the Resident Evil and Ultraviolet series, not to mention the fucking Twilight saga, The Others, The Orphanage, Pan's Labyrinth and Crimson Peake are all female-led.

It's the one genre which does't need a spoofy female 'reboot'.

I suspect this rather because women are seen as precious and vulnerable, not because the directors are more feminist. Men in films tend to fight whatever is threatening them.

For whatever reason — nature, nurture, both — women tend to prefer the social, and men tend to be more into stuff, gear, things. This translates into “smaller” films that are geared towards a female audience, since you need only a few people, love triangle and so on to get the drama going. The stuff men like, more acted out, and gear-heavy conflict — again for whatever reason — tends to lead to the big blockbuster films.

There are of course lots of genres and overlap, resulting probably more into a bimodal distribution, but the corny action flick and the romantic comedy are typically established to cater to different genders. This is even more pronounced when you take other forms of entertainment into account. Nobody keeps men from reading romantic novels and a myriad of other genres that heavily cater to female readers (the belletristic book market is overall very female centric) , and likewise women could populate the highly competetive and action oriented video games. But they don't. SJWs are highly selective, but probably just clueless rather than malicious in this case.

#39681

The thing is she is being oddly picky about her terms. The ghostbusters are "superheroes" so this movie and the wonder woman movie coming out next year are the two superhero movies she is talking about. She compares this to the "hundreds" of superhero movies starring men.

I would really like to understand what her definition of a superhero movie is. I tried to give her the benefit of the doubt but I just can't make that math work. So I have to do my own.

IF we are talking about sci fi action movies there are a shit ton of those with female leads.

I went to the Museum of the Moving Image tonight, with my friend who is an indy pro-wrestler, to see a documentary about Mexican wrestling, called Lucha Mexico. The film was pretty good. It conveyed everyday life in Mexico City. The in-ring scenes were more-about capturing fleeting human moments, than tracking the story of the match. The film-makers were a little short on Storytelling or Having A Point, but the wresler's lives were eventful enough to provide drama. One of the wrestlers-- Shocker, aka "1000% Guapo"-- was in attendance & was charming afterward.

I'd never been in that Museum before. It was appealing. There was an exhibition of Reaction Gif memes, projected in the lobby. I wanted a selfie, with the"That's Racist!" black kid super-imposed on my face. But I didnt want to upset the staffers at the front desk.

Upstairs there was some concept art from 2001 A Space Odyssey, a Jim Henson exhibit, costcostumessuch as Mork from Ork & Chewbacca's head & Don Johnson's Miami Vice suit. Taxi Driver's mohawk!. Plus some really weird impressive movie & tv tie-in toys. And a well-stocked retro video arcade, available to play. Including 'Computer Space', the first coin op video game, from 1971, in a green candy-flake case housing...

CommanderTuvok wrote:Anybody else follow Stephen Law on Twitter?

He has a real hard-on for Jeremy Corbyn, and despite his skeptic and top philosophical credentials (which includes debating W.L. Craig), he seems to have gone a bit tin-foil hat.

He is convinced that there is a massive, shadowy conspiracy trying to undermine his beloved Corbyn?

There is a conspiracy against Corbyn, but it's hardly massive or shadowy. It consists of all the non-hard-left Labour MPs who don't want him as their leader, and they're conspiring quite openly.

For all you Johnny Foreigners who might not have followed this in detail: when Ed Milliband quit as Labour leader after losing the last election, the party had to elect a new leader. The way this is usually done is: the MPs nominate a number of candidates, and the party members, all the local constituency activists and trade union people, vote for the one they like.

It's not unusual for the MPs to nominate a token no-hoper to make it look more like a contest, and this time they nominated Jeremy Corbyn. Corbyn is a veteran nonentity from the party's hard left awkward squad, who has spent his 30-odd years in parliament voting against his own party more often than not, without, and this is important, anybody noticing.

The party membership is further to the left than the MPs and is generally unhappy with the New Labour crowd because of Iraq, so Corbyn, who had voted against the Iraq war, started polling quite well. And then one Milliband's dafter ideas kicked in. He had brought in a new procedure for electing leaders, which gave anyone the vote if they paid £3 to become a "registered supporter" of the party. That guaranteed a massive hard left entryist vote for Corbyn, and he won the election handsomely, despite leading a gang of MPs most of whom think he's a joke.

Corbyn himself comes across as quite mild-mannered and reasonable, but he surrounds himself with people like John McDonnell, his shadow chancellor, who's a political thug, and Ken Livingstone, who defends colleagues against charges of anti-semitism by invoking Hitler. He has set up a party-within-a-party called Momentum, a revival of the Militant Tendency from the 80s, which seems to specialise in thuggery, replacing moderate local party officers with hard leftists, and threatening any MPs who aren't sufficiently loyal to Corbyn that they'll have them deselected and new candidates chosen for the next election. This on behalf of a leader who has never been loyal to party leaders.

So after playing along for a while, the MPs decided to stage a coup. They chose their moment: just after the Brexit vote, when the Conservatives were in disarray. It's been such a shambles that it's allowed the Tories to regroup and choose their new leadership team without any opposition, and if anything they've emerged stronger and more united.

Hilary Benn, son of Corbyn's old mentor Tony Benn, went to Corbyn and told him he couldn't work for him and then acted surprised that Corbyn sacked him from his shadow cabinet. Most of the rest of the shadow cabinet resigned one by one over the next couple of days. Even one of the MPs Corbyn drafted in as a replacement resigned the next day. Then they held a vote of no confidence, and won by a large margin, so they're having a new leadership election.

The alternative leader the MPs have chosen is Angela Eagle, who's most famous for throwing away a debate she was winning by pitching a fit over sexism when David Cameron told her to "calm down dear", and her campaign seems to be entirely based on cry-bullying. It's true, Corbyn's support consists largely of thugs, Eagle's constituency office got a brick through the window, no doubt there have been plenty of intimidating phone calls. But you'd look more like leadership material if you called attention to that without looking like fragile wilting flowers who can't cope with adversity without bursting into tears.

So we have two options to be leader of the opposition: a hard left populist, and an SJW. Is it any wonder Theresa May feels safe enough to make Boris Johnson her foreign secretary when this is the quality of opposition we've got?

He at least would be following a script from terrorist attacks. The Orlando shooter claimed to have bombs he didn't have.
If it turns he didn't have grenades or real guns it would make it uncertain if he had organized connections.
Who knows? It may just have been toxic masculinity.

Guns should be in theory hard to come by in France. Perhaps he went to purchase a bunch from some illegal connections. They let him test out a few authentic ones, and he paid for the lot of fakes plus the real ones he bought.

As far as the arrests in France, I bet they are going after the people who sold him the guns.

Sounding like the military coup failed. This seems like the worst possible outcome for the future. It means the majority of the secularists in the military have been identified and driven out. The military, which was just about the last secular stronghold in Turkey, is now going to be on the islamist bandwagon. I don't see much hope left for secular Turkey. That can only be bad for Europe and ongoing migration, as well as the rest of the middle east when it comes to keeping ISIS supplied.

Ah, maybe I'm wrong. I had assumed, based on what I know of Turkey, that it was the secular elements of the military that were engaged in the coup.

Yeps, which is why NATO, contra McEwan's silly analysis, would probably have preferred the coup to succeed. Now Erdogan has an excuse to purge the military of secular, non-islamist elements and can Turkey become the next ISIS cesspool.

But we can't kick them out of NATO because at the same time they're the last stronghold against Syria and Russia.

You correct with the first part, that's a translation fail on my part. That should be along the lines of marginalized, disillusioned and perspectiveless. The point stands: it is often claimed that western nations (Britain, Sweden, Germany ...) were looking the other way and make up excuses when facing problems with a basis in Islam or islamic culture. And that is not the case in Germany, despite that PEGIDA and the likes often pretend otherwise. The debate about the problems with integration and migrants came up a decade or so ago, and then people were really ignoring it. The left side was enchanted by multiculturalism, the right by ignorance and wanting cheap labour. But that was a good decade ago. Islamic extremism is a routine feature of the news and talk shows.

Re Turkey Coup, I can only see this cementing Erdogan as a Dictator. This will not only set back by decades any Turkish entry into the EU it will also put some doubt on their membership of Nato although I would expect that the US would find it difficult to lose bases and listening posts there. I can't see this being any good for anyone in the long run. Turkey will lso "encourage" refugees to leave the country by any means possible. Additionally the Turkish economy will come under strain as holidaymakers give the place a miss. This was already happening in resorts n the South Coast of the place and this will only spread the effect.
