Universal Love TRTT Part 8: Random thoughts also sack Hinkley

[Eddie Dingle]

I'll have you know, Pete Townsend is very, very interested in children.

Gary Glitter style?

The Pinball Wizard horsedung was a cry for help.

The doco on Netflix about Hitler's nephew is worth a look he moved to the USA just before the war, he had 4 sons all of which have never had children themselves apparently they made a pact in their youth to end the bloodline.

if more people made pacts to end their bloodline the world would be a better place

Like Queenslanders.

On the contrary, I reckon it’s exactly what he intended.

Since I never plan to watch or read it, I did look through a synopsis of what happened.

Spoiler

The idea of a queen descending into madness because she felt that people loved her lover - who had a better claim to the throne than her - more than her and then saying “If they don’t love me, they’ll ******* fear me” should have been seen a mile out as soon as it was clear that that whiny little bastard was not a bastard at all. From that point there were only three narratives - either he becomes king (******* lame, but would have been the “good” ending), she kills him (bad ending) or he kills her and gets ****-canned for it (plot twist ending). There was no resolution otherwise...and that was the last thing to be resolved.

i think the reason they didn’t make the season longer or do another season was precisely due to the fact that they knew the turn was coming and they didn’t want to dwell on it for another two episodes (which is what the story called for).

The end was written from the start. And the end is lame because the resolution isn’t decisive - it’s a compromise in a world that specifically states there are none.

Which is just the kind of subversive for no reason garbage I expect from Martin. And why I’m glad I never kept watching it.

This is like watching the first half of the Port vs Melbourne game this year and then reading stats and heatmaps to come up with a detailed strategic analysis on why Ken is or isn't going to be the next Port premiership coach.

please tell me this is what you've been doing for the last 4 years

No, not that bad. Only for 'research' purposes, apparently.

Yeah I googled it after I asked the question.

I tell my wife it’s only for research when I google “unrealistically large breasts” not for any fantasy I may have or for any gratification.

As long as she doesn't catch you photoshopping the results onto her photos, you're good.

No it was decided the other day that Queensland is Florida without Horatio.

Having lived in both for a decent amount of time (9yrs Darwin 2yrs Gold Coast/Brisbane) I can tell you they are very different.

Queensland is by a very long way more rednecky. They are ****ing strange up there. Most people up the top end just get on with shit. You are judged far more on your character than any physical characteristics.

Never read the book

It always spoils the fillum.

You don’t need to. It’s pretty faithful without being exactly like the book.

Both are enjoyable for different reasons.

Convincing arguments but I just noticed it’s on f@&king Stan.

Ah well book it is.

Jamie Lee Curtis gives a stunning performance in Trading Places

A pretty good summary.

 

[JimmyBeerCans]

Don't read books guys just watch the tv eh

 

[Butters Made Me Do It]

books are for boomers

the best way to understand a book is to track the Twitter livestream of someone watching the film or TV series based on it.
