  1. Three gunmen one dead. Austrian army mobilized to seal border which isn't that far away. Possible right wing group/sympathies. Gunman said to a stranger he was born in Germany etc...
  2. He just wants to make Amerika great again. Think we need to cut him some slack.
  3. Of course he did. He had the script for 10 years and waited till he was ready. You can see some early form in Pale Rider and Outlaw Josey Wales. Both excellent.
  4. Up there with any Western ever made. Brilliant pacing and jaw dropping simplicity of form.
  5. Turkey being prepared for mad shit......The beginning of the war? "Turkey’s parliament has approved a bill declaring a state of emergency in the wake of last weekend’s coup attempt and informed the Council of Europe of a partial withdrawal from the European convention on human rights. Turkey will be required to provide regular updates to the secretary general of the Council of Europe on the measures taken under the state of emergency, according to the terms of the treaty. Turkey initially said it had informed the Council of Europe that it would suspend the convention entirely, a more wide-ranging measure likely to have drawn criticism from allies. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2016/jul/21/turkey-parliament-expected-to-pass-erdogan-emergency-measures
  6. When the bad things happen its normally Europe wide and not always as formal as whether you have the club tie.
  7. Turkey seems to be getting readied for something bad....Old playbook even older symbology. We might have got out just in time.
  8. Star Trek Beyond - Total formulaic pap and no surprises. 3/10 The Federation is still the American Empire and people who stand up to it are backward or bear some kind of archaic grudge. /see EU and Brexit.
  9. The whole plan for world domination laid bare.....The the not so subtle 'Eyes Wide Shut'.
  10. Toad of Toad Hall. Flabbergasted. All pretense now falls away.
  11. Boris is connected he's basically untouchable/been picked out. You can see that he was given Foreign Sec to gain experience. http://www.tatler.com/news/articles/june-2016/boris-johnson-family-charlotte-johnson-wahl
  12. You need about 12 subs tho. 3 are too easily tracked even by satellites these days. Even of the 3 one seems to be permanently in dry dock and there have been repeated failings with all of them. There is a doc about it somewhere.
  13. I don't see the point of being in NATO and having an independent nuclear submarine arsenal. A gigantic waste of money. Keep a few at airbases for dropping as a final recourse, its cheap and keeps people guessing. Subs these days are too easily tracked.
  14. Something like De Sica's 'Bicycle Thieves' is hard going and critics go on about it as they do Kurosawa's 'Ran' and they both require repeated viewing to digest the beauty and you realise how trapped you are in modern cinema conventions and you have to fight to raise your game....But Blade Runner man! It's practically a kids film. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0040522/ http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0089881/
  15. Blade Runner changed sci fi forever. It's probably one of the most copied films of all time.
  16. The Final Cut Blu ray is under a tenner now. It's a film that really benefits from the blu ray makeover. https://www.amazon.fr/Blade-Runner-%C3%89dition-Sp%C3%A9ciale-Harrison/dp/B000XIABTY/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1468916897&sr=8-1&keywords=blade+runner+final+cut+blu+ray
  17. You fucking charlatan! Brazil, Blade Runner, Und Die 12 affen are benchmark films of their time.
