    AFL 2025 - AFL ROUND 8

    Looks like you can get over $8 for this on sportsbet atm. I'm tailing but giving the Tigs an extra 10 points.

    I really don't know what to think any more. (TBH before I looked at the caption I thought it was Will Arnett!) Sent from my DN2103 using Tapatalk

    Val Kilmer - RIP

    Anyone who appeared in Heat gets brownie points from me. Although I did enjoy this anecdote: "Marlon Brando, his co-star in The Island of Dr Moreau, reportedly told him: “You are confusing your talent with the size of your paycheck”" I never watched Tombstone as the 90s was flooded Western...

    The 2nd "What are you reading now" thread

    Read Purfume, which had high ratings. Didn't do it for me. The writing style was 80% descriptive, 20% plot which isn't my style. Anyone here liked it? Sent from my DN2103 using Tapatalk

    The 2nd "What are you reading now" thread

    Finished this. Wasn't very impressed. Learnt a little but was confused by what type of book it is. For those thinking it is a biography you will be disappointed. For those wanting to learn about our impact on the environment and what to do about it, I felt it was a bit high level and generalist...

    The 2nd "What are you reading now" thread

    Started reading 'A life on our planet' by Mr. D. Attenborough. Probably wouldn't have chosen it but it was a Christmas present. So why not. The first part is really a synopsis of his life until now with a couple of of anecdotes. Nothing amazing. The second part is likely to be more meaty I...

    Vale David Lynch

    Wow this is not something I was expecting. Lynch was a true artist who brushed the edge of the the mainstream and probably got me more into arthhouse movies. Blue Velvet and Lost Highway were both excellent, but I remember being just so blown away and punched in the guts by Mulholland Drive...

    The 2nd "What are you reading now" thread

    Finished "The Curse Of Bigness" by Tim Wu. Found it very enlightening. It discusses the ebb and flow between attitudes towards monopoly practices since the World Wars until now, and what lessons we should re-visit. Succinct, readable and very interesting. Sent from my DN2103 using Tapatalk

    Just finished reading "The first 15 lives of Harry August". Really enjoyed it. A bit of a twist on a time-Travel thriller. Good world-building and a climatic ending. Sent from my DN2103 using Tapatalk

    The 2nd "What are you reading now" thread

    Currently reading "Reasons not to worry" by Brigid Delaney. A 'practical' approach to Stoicism. Quite good so far. Lends a bit of clarity and application compared to the original texts. Sent from my DN2103 using Tapatalk

    Film Posters. Anyone collect them?

    When I was at uni in the 90s I used to collect them. For me it was a golden time with some great posters. Jurassic Park, seven, Terminator 2, Pulp Fiction, Good fellas, Traffic. But they are all lost now. Collateral damage of growing up. Sent from my DN2103 using Tapatalk

    Half way through Liar's Poker (Michael Lewis). TBH I'm not blown away. It's sometimes referred to as a 'classic' but I don't see it yet. Maybe the best bits are to come? Anyone else read it? Sent from my DN2103 using Tapatalk

    The 2nd "What are you reading now" thread

    I can connect with the reading struggles in here. When I found some time on my hands I forced myself to start reading again. I found reading really is like a muscle and a skill - the more you do it the easier it gets. I think you also need to kick-start your reading muscle with books that are...

    The 2nd "What are you reading now" thread

    Thanks for the great list! I bought technofeudalism last month and will probably read it next. I got a lot out if "Don't Be Evil" by Rana Foroohar a few years back. Was also on the fence about reading The Psychopath Test... Sounds like it's a bit of a beach read? Sent from my DN2103 using...

    The 2nd "What are you reading now" thread

    Hi all. Just discovered this group. This book is on my list - I might read it next. Is this thread for fiction or non-Fiction? The last fiction book I read was Beloved, which I admit I didn't finish. Just didn't grab me. Currently reading non-fiction. Sent from my DN2103 using Tapatalk

    Weren't there rumours about making a film about Mr Wolf from Pulp Fiction many years back? And did someone just mix it with Mr & Mrs Smith? Sent from my DN2103 using Tapatalk

    Best Movie that no one's ever heard of

    Two small films that I like... Not sure if "No-one has heard of" though? Let's just say the 90s were awesome for cinephiles! The Straight Story (1999) An old man makes a long journey by lawnmower to mend his relationship with an ill brother Gattaca (1997) A genetically inferior man...

    Best Movie that no one's ever heard of

    Downloaded Strange Days recently... Enjoyed it in the 90s and want to watch it again. Also downloaded Existenz which I think I enjoyed better in the 90s. Probably because the premise has been redone a few times now. But back then it was new and fresh. Sent from my DN2103 using Tapatalk
