    Books vs Movies. Which Should You Do First?

    Books first. If it's a decent adaptation, there's still always going to be things left out, that knowing the whole story can help you see what they are trying to do (E.g. two of the best adaptations in Lord of the Rings and Dune). Watching a movie adaptation of a book I've read, I like to...

    Europe War in Ukraine - Thread 5 - thread rules updated

    Whilst Russia, the country, cannot maintain constant war indefinitely, for Putin, the individual, it only has be maintained until either the West blinks, Ukraine loses even with Western help (with his isolation from the outside world and the Russian tendency to lie up the command chain, I think...

    Streaming Daredevil

    Season 1 of Born Again felt like Temu Daredevil. Season 2, looks like a rare case of a studio seeing 'adapted for a modern audience' didn't work and actually went back to what worked so well, that the fans actually wanted. This season so far is making good claims for best season across all to...

    And Dixon we overpaid. That the only club Gold Coast has managed to screw over (multiple times) is Port, tells you about how poor our trade team / club has been the last decade.

    List Mgmt. 2026 Mid Season Draft - 26 May (Picks after Round 8: 4, 12)

    No one over 25 please. Though the problem was more not releasing them at the end of the year's they were drafted. If we have a desperate need to plug a gap due to injuries and grab an older player, make it clear, unless they are outstanding, they are there for the short term.

    George R R Martin

    99% likely attention seeking by the original poster. There's no way if GRRM actually handed in a manuscript for editing/printing he wouldn't have been posting about it.

    Banter TRTTT Part 16 - How good are fingerless gloves

    Unsure on that, but definitely agree on the old one that if you're a guy trying to look decent undressing in front of a woman, make sure socks off before pants, as just socks and undies is going to make anyone look like they've just turned into a 40 year old accountant still living with their folks.

    Europe War in Ukraine - Thread 5 - thread rules updated

    This has been explained to you multiple times. In a war historically the attacker can expect to suffer around 3 times the casualties of the defenders. This is why Ukraine's highest casualties were during their 2023 counter offensive and Kursk offensive. Those two (relatively) smaller operations...

    Opinion International Geopolitics

    The largest Solar use (per Capita), batteries now subsidised, getting an EV makes sense. The upcoming Federal Budget, it will be interesting to see if they show some long-term vision and up subsidies for EV's (and pressure States using/trying to use Road-user charges for EV's). Fuel supply and...

    On the weekend I played...

    Ages since an update here, though regularly gaming on weekends now. Getting in lots of gaming this weekend. So far started with Vantage Friday. Went from 2pm to 8:30pm exploring the world, had opportunities to complete scenario earlier, but the four of us having fun so kept going. Then...

    Review Round 3, 2026 vs West Coast

    Except given we had 2 Duursma's, if we'd kept them, we'd have been a great chance to get the youngest down the line. Would have been a better choice than McEntee hanging around for years.

    Banter TRTTT Part 16 - How good are fingerless gloves

    Nah. There wasn't a bunch of people who'd have voted for his replacement out of 'honouring' him, that didn't already switch for the attempt on his life. That and he had/has his cult followers who aren't all 'natural' Republican voters, a large percentage of who'd have not voted without Trump on...

    Movie What's the last movie you saw? (8)

    Watched this last week. I'd go with the criticism the most unrealistic part (putting aside the whole Alien invasion plot), was except for his 2IC, none of the rest of the recruits look like they would have made it past the first week of Ranger selection. Leaving that aside, it's no Predator, but...

    Movie Marvel Cinematic Universe - News, updates and discussion

    Yep, Season 1 definitely suffered from originally going more 'Disney', then having to change parts they could when that hit poorly with test audiences. Unsurprisingly it then felt incoherent in parts. This episode felt more like the original Netflix series in tone.

    Banter TRTTT Part 16 - How good are fingerless gloves

    There'll always be a need for a CBD, or at least it makes sense, for things that are only going to have one main site in a state, that need to be public facing - like Supreme courts, Parliament, Museum, State Library, businesses that only have one site in a state that's got a public facing...

    Europe Backdrop to the war in Ukraine

    Yes, Russian Oligarch's aren't Western Billionaires. They are effectively custodians of the State's assets, where they get a bunch of benefits to be the front men, so that Western companies/countries think they are dealing with companies, rather than fully state / owned corporations, like the...

    Mod. Notice Technological advances in weaponry

    Sounds like a slower plane, built around a big gun would be perfect. Maybe make it armoured up since it's flying slower and lower. Bonus is it could provide support for ground troops. I mean if you had a plane like that and were trying to retire it you'd be idiots. Dumb as a warthog.

    Society & Culture Things that Make You Feel Old Part 2, 7 years older

    This one gets used regularly from me to my wife. Along with 99% of the time, one of us is going to joke about wearing an Onion on the belt, if one is being used for a meal.

    Mega Thread Port Forum General AFL Thread Part 31

    If the umpires were competent and didn't mostly have (at least) a sub-conscious Vic-bias, I'd be all for including intent. Let intent come in and we know it'd be 'Port player had an unlucky bounce - Deliberate! Daicos or Bont lines up at 90% to the boundary from 5 metres away and kicks it...

    Player Watch Pick #12 (2018) - Zak Butters

    He's in his prime. No matter where he goes, he's a good chance to be the first $2 million a year player, with a 10 year contract in front of him. If he wants out there's no reason to stay at Port, unless his mindset is Port or Bulldogs (or whoever), won't go elsewhere and is the first player...

    Player Watch Pick #12 (2018) - Zak Butters

    Carr should know full well how much Port supporters hated Co-Captains. Enough that even if this is a temporary thing, it will be hated. If it's been proposed he should be telling Koch to stick it. It should be Butters, but I'd take Drew on his own, over co-captain with Butters. Hell, I'd take...

    Preview Preview and changes thread for Round 3 vs West Coast Eagles at Adelaide Oval

    I wonder if the AFL even looked at whose playing, other than seeing it's not at least one Vic team and just dumped it in the 'filler slot'? Common sense would be West Coast don't play away before at least 2pm starts, but hey lets give Carlton another Friday night game, despite over a decade of...

    Certified Legendary Thread Sack(ed) Hinkley 15 - The End

    For all the short term pain Tasmania entering the competition is going to cause, anything that dilutes the percentage of the league that is Victorian is good for Port and all clubs outside Victoria as a group. AFL executives most important pay metric is money for rights, so they won't let any...

    Opinion Domestic Politics BF style

    Migration isn't the only issue with the lack of housing. You can add in tax policies favouring investors, a chronic underfunding of skills training by all levels of government, of both parties across the last 20 years, councils and some state governments being very NIMBY with getting medium/high...

    Review Round 2, 2026 vs Essendon: First win under Josh Carr

    Bonus is Carr is unlikely to trade him out like our last 20 & 2 star because he plays Fortnite instead of killing greyhounds.

    Lol, he's trolling, but there's a grain of truth there. Public servants vote ALP at a higher proportion than the general population. Unsurprising as the ALP understands well that those in the public service will vote more for them, since the Libs (generally) run a leaner government and they want...

    Certified Legendary Thread Sack(ed) Hinkley 15 - The End

    Nah, this assumes everything else remained the same. With a final ten you add another 1 or 2 teams, in addition to Port, who still would have put in extra effort, not rolling over for Port to get an easy win. It also takes out that, that'd have left more games at the end of season where...
