Off Topic Discussion / Re: Alex's even longer post th...
Last post by Alex - January 06, 2026, 05:06:09 PMNormally 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.

Last post by Rev. Powell - January 06, 2026, 02:17:36 PMTHE PLAGUE (2025): A tween goes to a water polo themed summer camp and tries to fit in with the other boys, who make merciless fun of the weird kid by claiming he's got a contagious disease they call "the plague." A adolescence drama executed with horror movie aesthetics; the plague may be a pernicious form of same-sex cooties, but the real horror is conformity. 3.5/5.

Last post by M.10rda - January 06, 2026, 12:47:25 PMLAST OF THE AMERICAN HOBOES (1967):
Titus Moody (aka Moede) played "Boo Boo" in R.D. Steckler's immortal RAT PFINK A BOO BOO and shows up frequently (sometimes uncredited) in all manner of low-budget flicks from the 60s and 70s. Moody also directed some shorts of his own, one narrative feature, and this 90-minute passion project that is a documentary in roughly the same way that LEGEND OF BOGGY is a documentary.
Moody, apparently self-conscious about the verity of his finished product, even opens the film with a disclaimer about the difficulty of recording useable footage and sound on hobo-relevant locations (stock cars, crowded shelters, the woods, etc) though he assures us that he has preserved the essence of his subjects' stories.
That's probably true, and lots of this footage is clearly of real "hoboes" across the US, doing their thing. There are also obvious recreations (such as of the execution of labor organizer Joe Hill). Then there's a lot of footage that blurs the line, with the easily recognizable Moody in hobo drag hiking with a rucksack and chatting with other hoboes in interviews that often seem scripted and rehearsed (or even post-dubbed). This isn't mere speculation - there are appearances by other recognizable indie actors from the era, playing hoboes... like Corman regular Bruno VeSota and RED ZONE CUBA director/star Coleman Francis... who according to some reports eventually became a hobo in real life in the early 70s, prior to his death. 
Thus he's pretty convincing, anyway!
Moody edits the film in a brisk and creative way, but LOTAH is ultimately a boutique item, possibly of interest to historians and otherwise only of fans (like me) of obscure 60s movie artists. Honestly the topic and Moody's handling of it bummed me out a bit. I suppose the hobo lifestyle was celebrated because of their commitment to freedom and refusal to conform to society's expectations, or - something. Hoboes haven't vanished, however - they're still everywhere in the US - they're called "the homeless", and we just stopped celebrating them and started vilifying them on talk shows.
3/5 The film also serves as a feature length commercial (or music video) for its soundtrack album of (mostly electric) covers of early 20th century folk songs. There's even an opening credit reminding viewers to go buy it.
