Sadly, yes. Now, had it been composed by Jerry Goldsmith, THAT woulda been a different story... 🤣

Sky News is doing the same. Reporting on Trump's attack on the UK and his support for explicitly Far Right and/or Nazi parties across Europe, one journalist opted to call them 'populist', a word that seems calculated to detoxify the true nature of these extremist grifters.

Not that I don't trust your word implicitly, but I had to Google this one just to be sure you weren't pulling a (very) late April Fool's prank. But no, you're right - the strangest Oscar nomination in history. I'll have to have a butcher's now, just to see if I can detect what they were smoking!!...

But a Europe that's capable of standing up to future Trumps is the happy consequence of *this* idiot's Nazi-fuelled insouciance. After he's left office, I hope they strip him of his presidency before he croaks, while history remembers him as a grade-A fuckwit of the highest possible order...

You should see what kind of regulatory system we've got that covers films and videos. 'Petty' and 'censorship' are their veritable watchwords when it comes to what we can see and hear... 😉

Very many happy returns! Here's to many more of 'em, along with plenty of the kind of movies that make life worth living! Cheers!!... 🥳

Bonds are irrelevant. We could stop selling them yesterday. This is payola to the monied classes. These concepts are baked into our psychology as we just assume these things matter because institutions that serve the bourgeois repeat them ad nauseum and we of course believe it. It is official!!!

Somewhere there's a balance to be struck between cautious optimism and doom-laden horror, but if you're determined not to look for it, Farage has already 'won'. He wants people like you to be afraid, and as long as there are enough of you...

If you stick your head in the sand, it leaves your arse exposed for bastards like Farage to kick. Cautious vigilance over reckless complacency, every time. But hey!, each to their own...

They really aren't. Yes, the possibility is there, but the media's obsession with polls this far out from a GE is nothing more than unsubstantiated fear-mongering. Still, we can't be complacent - the threat is real. But we'll deal with it in 3 years, at which point the polls might be very different.

The Far Right are never done. They think their time has come, but they're constantly being thwarted by the checks and balances that exist to curtail their excesses. Even so, the threat of Farage as PM is real (for now). And after him - what? These cunts are forever busy. No complacency.

Problem with the 'getting better' mantra is that not enough people can see it, esp. with a hostile media constantly telling us we're still in the shit. Things might improve before the GE, but we're going to need more than that to halt the rise of the Far Right...

Green Party: "We'd like to stop pretending the economy is like a household budget and tell the truth about the way money works in our fiat system, for the benefit of all, not just those at the top."
The usual suspects: "IT'S LIZ TRUSS ON STEROIDS!! WE'RE ALL DOOMED!!!"

'Proven' by who, exactly?
Let me guess: The very people with a vested interest in maintaining the status quo who've campaigned for years to make us believe no other system is even remotely possible without making everything worse?
Mate, look around. How much worse does it need to get?...

Looking forward to the *next* US president stripping this traitorous bastard of his US citizenship and seizing all of his assets (business and financial) before charging him with any crime he may have committed under Trump. If guilty - prison, then deportation. Not guilty - immediate deportation.

Nigel Farage can shove any apology up his racist arse, since it's obvious it wouldn't be the least bit genuine. And we don't need full transparency over his slurs. We know what he is, and any 'explanation' he might offer would be a pack of lies.

Dunno why the reporter didn't want to say the 'bad word' beginning with C. Honestly, if someone called *me* a clot, I wouldn't be very offended at all...

I know what you mean about seeing it in Spanish. I'd much prefer that one myself. But Michael Rennie uses his own voice in the 'dubbed' version, so if that's the only one I can find, it'll be OK. Not ideal, as you suggest, but fair enough. Looking forward to it!

Released in the UK by Monarch as DRACULA VS. FRANKENSTEIN. There's some good quality versions doing the rounds on YT, so I might give it a look this weekend. Naschy's always worth the money, and this looks like a riot!
