The All Things Political Topic - A politician needs the ability to foretell what is going to happen tomorrow, next week, next month, and next year. And to have the ability afterwards to explain why it didn’t happen

Gun control - murderer control?
Yeah, even not factoring in unregistered or illegal firearms I think that even in the unlikely event there was a ban on guns they're widespread enough to make getting all of them a logistical nightmare. And when you add in the 3d printed guns into the mix, well interesting times and all that. As far as driving, it's widespread and easily accessible because public or mass transit here is a joke and a substantial amount of cities were bulldozed and designed in a way that necessitates having a car. It's....not good.

Anime and Manga - I respect the first human to have eaten a mushroom
I think that my distaste of CGI is pretty well documented by now but... With their recent financial troubles and signals that they're no longer going to be doing "expensive vanity projects" (ie the movies that are actually good), I will bet that Netflix doubles down on making/acquiring cheap cgi anime and Stranger things knockoffs. So more cars that makes us want to tear our eyes out or become the Joker.

Blue Velvet is a masterpiece and I will fight anyone over this.

If we're going for similar looking Cillian Murphy or young Tom Cruise. If we're going on who would make the best movie, Nic Cage going full Nic Cage or Cillian Murphy or Natasha Lyonne. Preferably all three directed by David Lynch and John Waters.

Insomnia binged Stranger Things: A Nightmare on Elm Street. Maybe it's because I was exhausted but my brain would not let me sleep, but I found it to be formulaic and carried mostly by the strength of the cast. So better than most Netflix shows. The frustrating thing is that it isn't outright bad and there a great moments, but when the mediocre starts rolling it goes on for a while. Spoiler time

I doubt that's going to happen. For a lot of people, guns are a social signifier in the same way that F-150s are. They don't need that horsepower to drive to their office job anymore than they need their 5 guns to defend their home in a gated community from invaders. This is who forms the bulk of support for the NRA, and they will not leave their vanity objects they use to take family pictures go. Guns are toys to these people, and we are paying the price for their frivolous attitude to deadly tools. Don't get me started on cars. Houston had to be bulldozed to make cars necessary and it absolutely sucks.

Well s3 was awful, so that's not too much praise. I thought the first episode was long and am expecting the extended length to be a bit of a drag, it seems like they could have cut the episodes up much better and released the last one as a movie.

Buying guns here is very easy if you have the money, when I bought my .44 it was no questions asked at all. And if you don't have the money, there are installment plans to pay for the gun.

The New Cinema and Movie Thread
The Boy Behind the Door. A horror film about kids being abducted and sex trafficked. Pretty bare bones tbh, not bad but very similar to other serial killer movies. X (2022). A strip club owner in 1979 Houston takes two strippers (one of whom is his gf), a Vietnam vet, and two film students to shoot a porno out in the country. It feels like the writer never set foot in Houston and the actors do take the country to 11, but if you get over that it's an enjoyable enough take on a slasher.
