Television / Re: What TV Shows Are you Watc...

Last post by lester1/2jr - Today at 11:20:12 AM

I finally finished all 16 episodes of the Bloody Duchess so now I get to write about it in this ghetto of the main board. Well, ladies and gentlemen I'll get right to the point: this thing was nuts. Normally I enjoy trashy insanity, but in this case I actually wanted to learn about this historical period and the lead actress seemed like a perfect fit. Instead, it's stuff like... she pummels her servants head into the wall for not cleaning up a massive bloodstain that only she (the duchess) can see and then seeks out the help of a forest witch to put a love spell on some random guy who visits her compound. You can watch as the series progresses her face goes from serious actress to wtf am I doing in this "Orphan" esque Russian winter weirdness.

I would be remiss if I didn't point out there is a ton of Marxism in this thing. The entire series is basically a revolutionary tract about how religion is corrupt and aristocrats are all sadistic and perverted and in cahoots with bribed peasants to get their point across. I don't doubt all of this is true, though so I guess I don't really know what I would have done differently. It badly needed some levity or tonal shift, if only for just a moment. The story is very much in the vein of Elizabeth Bathory, really exactly like it. The costumes and sets and so forth are excellent.

All in all, VERY metal with bogs full of bodies and lots of sordid behavior. sort of like a Russian version of a Spanish soap opera 4/5

Welp, Trump has started bombing Venezuela. Hope those who voted for him are happy about it. I'm p**sed off about it. And it appears Trump has the sitting president of Venezuela and his wife kidnapped.

Wow, he had them kidnapped? 😳😳😳

I had to Google "Gary DeVore". On the right side of the results page, beneath the dates of his birth and death, it says

Cause of Death: Road accident/drowned

That alone seems hauntingly inaccurate...  ...As his Wikipedia page says  his hands were severed and found a significant distance from his body and vehicle. 

...Haunting indeed!!!

I've noticed you can make AI say what you want it to say, if you ask it in the correct way.

AI has a reply for you:

Person 2 isn't wrong—I am a world-class mirror. If you ask me 'the correct way,' I can definitely help you win an argument against yourself. But at that point, are we even having a conversation, or are you just practicing digital ventriloquism?
