Can anyone tell me what issue Kingdom 2 is? I don't appear to have received it and thought it would be out by now.

I've only heard of the level of Cage in that film.  I never watched it.  I didn't enjoy the original, so had no interest in a sequel.

I know people enjoyed the original and hated the remake but I think you might be a prime candidate to actually prefer it. Would love to hear what you think.

4) There aren't any. Seriously, how many politicians are willing to stand up for ideas like government having far less power and being stripped of its "right" to initiate violence against its own or other people? Of being barred from dealing with the debt-based money system and moving over to a more Austrian School economic system? PM me his/her email because I'd love to chat.

Are these the only issues you're willing to vote on?

You can also use your vote to help others you know? You can use it to ensure LGBTQ+ are treated fairly in society, that women are given bodily autonomy, that children can have free school lunches .. it is the duty of the strong to protect the weak etc

No, I don't see that at all. I was pretty sure I'd defended that ostensibly inconsistent statement in the remainder of the post, however...

If a vote is an expression of an individual's will, and votes are taken seriously, then the will behind the expression must also be taken seriously. This is the aspect of voting I believe in.

However, a political or legislative vote is more about transferring will. One expression of will every four to five years essentially negates large areas of individual will for the intervening time. This is the aspect of voting I deplore.

I do not see that as inconsistent - poorly explained, perhaps, but not inconsistent. Or trollish.

Also, I seem to remember that we have agreed on at least one or two occasions, so I don't see myself as simply contrarian for the sake of it. The problem may be that, as we are coming at things from different perspectives we will often interpret the terrain in different ways, as it were. What one of us sees as an inviting pool on the beach the other may see as quicksand.

I do not enjoy seeing people struggle.

A vote isn't an expression of will, it's a statement about what kind of society you want to live in. No politican or political group is ever going to be 100% aligned with your vision of the kind of society you want to live in.   And while you may not want to impose your will on others - some will have no problem imposing theirs on you.  So if you feel strongly about that you should vote for the party or individual most aligned with your viewpoint, you can't simply wait for Utopia to manifest itself.

Yes absolutely to The Big Lebowski. I have seen it multiple times and I swear I find something new every time.

At least it had some Punching Amos and was 100x better than the previous week Glottlestop Family Therapy Session.

TBH the whole season hasn't had much happen to the main characters aside from the insufferable weeping gal. And yet it's still infinitely better than the planet mud season.

Who did Amos punch? How did I miss that?

I thought the same about the previous week until [spoiler]Naomi threw herself out of the airlock. Wow![/spoiler]

This might be considered a spoiler considering how much of the film you have to sit through before Nicholas starts Caging. 

If you want full on Cagery go for the second Ghost Rider film.  It's utter shite, but it's 100% Cage start to end.

My personal favouite has to be the Wickerman remake. It's just so bad but also so good.

Oh that's surprising, I thought there would be 9 seasons.

This week's episode was a bit of a non episode - not much happening.

That sounds like a great idea   It is a tour de force of Nicholas Cagery.

Some epic Nicholas Cagery to be had in Mandy. Quite simply epic:

I'm watching The Stand too and mostly enjoying it, seems a pretty decent adaptation of the book so far. Don't worry I understand that Trashcan Man makes an appearance in later episodes.

But does it have Liutenant Dan?

No, he resleeved?

You haven't seen the original mini series?

Clearly not ... I see now it stars a young Lieutenant Dan before he lost his legs in 'Nam.

Can't be arsed seraching for the screengrab, but when King tweeted that the current pandemic was really nothing like the Stand, one irate fan replied "have you even read the fucking book?"

I've just finished S2 of American Gods - [spoiler]was very sad to see the demise of Mad Sweeney, wonder if he'll make a return at some point or if he's really gone?[/spoiler]

DC films are always flawed in the same ways - not enough focus on the plot and too much CGI. If they could reverse those trends they could make some good movies.

[spoiler]A simple shift of weight etc .. also Lynda Carter is Asteria the Amazon that got left behind to hold the line ..
and she also saves a baby!

This is bullshit, she went from stopping wars to saving babies and shopping malls ..[/spoiler]
