    Choon of the Day, redux

    I don't know much about damian lewis but until I saw that f1 national anthem I had the idea he was a vaguely cool actor. maybe cos he played steve mcqueen in once upon a time in hollywood. but now even looking back on that he doesn't seem that cool

    most westerners do though. including on the left, broadly speaking. including probably a bunch of people on this thread. anyone who even questions US involvement in the war is immediately slandered as a putin apologist in much of the west. even probably by mr tea lol who is speaking against...

    Films you've seen recently and would recommend WITH reservations

    there's also the fact that film and tv are collaborative projects. it's not just the writer or creator telling the story, it's all the actors too. all the consultants and contributors. the set designers and costume people. everyone's involved in telling the story. yeah the first option is...

    Like Finkelstein has said, "the human capacity for self-deception is limitless." It doesn't matter how many facts you put on the table or how obvious the arguments are, some people will just believe what they want to believe and there's no reasoning with them.

    but since jungle was the best music ever, even a significant deterioration can mean that the resulting music can still be very good. the hit rate is much much lower than with jungle but the best of dnb 96-98 still reaches a high peak. plus it does offer something different. the blade runner...

    Let's say you're right, and Chomsky/Finkelstein/others with similar views on the left are wrong about Russia... OK. But if there's one thing Chomsky/Finkelstein do understand, it's Israel/Palestine. Chomsky grew up in a Hebraist family, was a Zionist youth leader for years, lived in Israel in...

    He's a US dissident so it's his job to speak out against the US role and US hypocrisy. That's not apologetics, and he goes further than saying it's unjustified ("terrible war crime"). Your argument sounds quite similar to the Israel supporters who accuse people of being Hamas apologists when...

    chomsky said the russian invasion was a "terrible war crime." he states it clearly and repeatedly here despite this idiotic times journalist repeatedly trying to twist his words. (10:55 mins but also throughout). he makes no justification of the invasion whatsoever

    in terms of dynamism no one really comes close to goldie. except maybe a guy called gerald. i really respect them both for the fact that they barely used amens as well

    I really dont get the jazzy stuff at all. 'pulp fiction' is sick until that awful fucking trumpet comes in. the bassline sounds like being pulled back and forth through a wormhole though. unimpeachable. the best and worst of the 90s combined in one track
