SPINAL TAP 2 (2025)

Kind of odd / melancholy watching this in the wake of Reiner's death (especially as a few scenes involve jokes about murder), but have to admit I didn't laugh once during this. :(

the band seem bored, disinterested... there are various Spinal Tap interviews and one-off promo bits from the last 20 years which are truly hilarious, all of them playing off each other to genius effect... here it all seems laboured and forced. no quotable moments. no moments of peak cringe comedy

After falling down a YouTube rabbit hole of luxury winter resorts, I've decided that Gstaad might be the least enticing of the bunch. Sure, it looks like a charming, rustic Swiss village... if you ignore the fact that it's basically a high‑altitude shopping mall for people who consider a five‑figure handbag an impulse buy. The prices alone act as a natural force field, keeping regular humans at a safe distance.

The elite flock there for the seclusion, of course. The whole village runs on an unspoken "don't look too long at anyone" policy that keeps the rich and famous blissfully unbothered. Beyond the spas, skiing, and hiking, Gstaad's other claim to fame is hosting one of the world's most expensive boarding schools — the kind of place where the student body is basically a UN summit in ski jackets.

The video I watched was filmed during Christmas, and honestly, Gstaad might be the most underwhelming place on Earth when it comes to holiday spirit. They don't seem to bother with flashy decorations; everything is kept very "natural," which apparently counts as charm. I'm not asking for inflatable Santas or a full‑scale North Pole recreation, but a little discreet, colorful lighting wouldn't kill them. Just something that whispers "Christmas" instead of "January."

Anyway, even if I had the budget for it, I can't imagine spending Christmas there. Some places are magical in winter — Gstaad just feels like it's trying not to draw attention to itself, which is ironic, considering who vacations there.

Every time I think about what happened six years ago today, I want to put my fist through a wall.

Normally when people say "Oh they are only attacking country X because of its oil" I have a quiet chuckle inside. It's a simplistic answer, often said about countries that don't actually have any significant oil reserves either. In this case they might be right, although perhaps not in the way most people think. Until recently, if you traded in oil, you used the $. It was a pretty powerful and subtle form of soft power, but in the last few years nations have been switching to other currencies (in particular the Chinese yuan). In particular Venezuela and Nigeria. Personally, I know almost nothing about the ruler of Venezuela. From what I've heard he's a dictator who has ignored the results of democratic elections so on that basis I don't have any particular issues with removing him from power in whatever fashion. Then again, perhaps I am giving someone too much credit there and the reason it all happened is more to do with something he saw on fox news or what someone whispered to him.

Still laughing about the machine gun charge. I mean pot, kettle, colour check there. In a sane world those charges would be thrown out with the US having no jurisdiction there. I wonder if the judge for this trial will be specially hand picked or not?

I don't believe it has anything to do with drug running though and I doubt people are going to find their fuel getting any cheaper. It does look the world is descending back into zones of influence and trump has selected all of the America's for his playground.

If that continues, my guess is that it will lead to another September 11th-style attack, or some other form of asymmetrical warfare and again they won't understand why it happened to them. Certainly, if you go around claiming that being made American is the greatest gift you can give to someone, then yeah. The hard truth is no one else is the world is asking to join that union; those countries that are being mentioned are very firmly rejecting such a notion. When I was looking at moving to the states, one of the many things that surprised me was just how many rights I'd be giving up if I moved there and the only thing I'd really be gaining was the right to have a gun, which is something I can take or leave. There is a lot happening in my own country that I don't agree with, and something on the horizon that is deeply worrying me, but I'd still take what I have over what I'd get over there. Pleasantly surprised to see Starmer standing with Denmark publically over Greenland. Too much of what he's been doing has reminded me of appeasement.

What a stupid, pointless situation.
