On the subject of Robocop, I feel like the Joel Kinneman reboot gets a lot of undeserved stick. Is it as good as the original? No, but neither were the two sequels. Kinneman especially for me is an actor whose performance depends on his director. He is AMAZING in For all Mankind, for example.

There can only be one answer. Objectively terrible, clichéd, silly, poorly plotted & with literal caricature villains. But I absolutely, completely & unironcally adore it, always have & always will.

I'm old enough to remember when Angela Rayner had to resign her post & sit on the Naughty Step for 2 months because of a completely understandable mistake with her Stamp Duty that literal experts in the field could have and indeed *have* made, which she had immediately owned up to...

The sheer frustration (and finger cramping pain) of accidentally putting the wrong digit towards the end of dialing a number and having to hang up and start all over again. Using a pencil to rewind your album and save the batteries in your Walkman. Sellotape over the tab to reuse a video tape.

Separation of Church and State is an essential component of functioning democracy for a reason. This is just unhinged.

Secondly, abso-fucking-lutely. Funny, charming, warm & visually impressive. Surely one of the most underrated movies of recent years, mostly down to the whining of fragile men with fragile egos.

I went no contact with my mother years ago. It wasn't an entirely selfish decision, I also made it for the good of my wife, friends & other family. My mother has been known to call anyone she can think of to cause trouble when she isn't getting the attention she feels she deserves. 🤷🏻♂️

The name "Popular Science" doesn't mean we shift our coverage depending on public opinion. It means we cover relevant subjects that are rigorously researched, reliable, and grounded in reality.

Okay, time I come clean after four years.
The introduction to the SS painting guide I did which contained what is apparently a trigger phrase, 'The Nazis were the bad guys,' was bait.
It worked exactly as planned; this is *the* most disliked of any of my videos.
Let me at last elaborate.

It's probably about time I revisited this, maybe did Erbsenmuster as well. Make sure to include a brief introduction that makes everybody mad as hell because they hear half of it and their brains stop working and proceed to yell at me, essentially quoting me back. XD
