Universal Love TRTT Part 8: Random thoughts also sack Hinkley

[edgie]

It is probably better than the Queen movie, but I doubt it will get any Oscar noms, despite making Vince Neil out to be not shit is a stunning feat of acting and film making.

Someone at work recommended I watch Love Death & Robots on Netflix

This is a show you can't watch on the train

It's almost as embarrassing that time years back when I was reading Nabokov's Lolita and looked up to see a trainload of Mitcham High students sitting around me on the bus

Never finished it in the end

You should. Lolita is an awesome novel (if you don't mind continually countering weird looks on the train with "a real pedo wouldn't be reading this" responses).

All whisky has water in it. Unless it is bottled at cask strength.

I know that but if they are bottling the blend that already contains water why add more. Maybe I'm incorrectly assuming that all they were doing was bottling locally.

I found an excerpt (the first half I believe) in a "Collected Works" of Nabokov which was amazing. As were the other short stories in it. Great writer.

Maybe Cyclone Veronica should have been named Cyclone Vern...

Reading Mein Kampf on the train and audibly saying things like "ooh, I don't know about that" every second page

Carn, The Dirt was basically a midday movie with **** & blow.

The Doors movie worked because they were only around for 5 years. Trying to summarise decades into an hour and 45 is always going to be awkward and disjointed.

Oliver Stone's Jim Morrison Monster? terrible and inaccurate

Sure, but it flowed better than these other films.

Two hour music video with a lousy script I never understood the fuss made about it.

Musician biopics are always insipid and the only one I'd actually watch is Walk the Line because it would remind me of Dewey Cox and be a great laugh

 

[raman]

Musician biopics are (nearly) always insipid

Fixed

 

[Eddie Dingle]

Fixed

Hey come on negatron all biopics are great.

The Def Leppard straight to video one holds up well against big budget competition.

And rock n roll.

****, blow, rock n roll. I can even overlook the lack of a couple of blokes having a knife fight.

One more reason why Jason Gillespie was, and remains, better.

I had that, Kershaw’s Hitler biography (Vols 1 & 2) and Burleigh’s ‘The Third Reich’ in a Unibooks bag sitting at my feet in the old Flinders Uni tav back in the day.

As the drinking session progressed, a bloke (of sub-continental descent) asked what I’d bought as the usual discussion of degrees and whathaveyou progressed.

I preempted the reveal by mentioning it was for related history units I was doing, but you could tell he thought I was an effeminate version of Hando from Romper Stomper.

That twitter thread is a pretty decent read.

No surprise he's trending.

No, i wonder if he'll be the "how did i not see this coming types.

Walk Hard is basically the template for music biopics these days, lol.

The Beatles scene kills me, especially Paul Rudd as John Lennon.

“Paul’s a big fat campaigner.”
