Something I’ve never really understood about the Avatar movies, derivative plot, poor script and tedious length aside - is the CGI meant to look real? Are we meant to watch these and think this could have been filmed on a real alien planet?

I remember the fuss when the first one came along over how amazing the visuals were. And they are impressive but I’ve always thought of them as very pretty animated movies and at no point thought anything looked photorealistic.

Yeah right. And meanwhile he’ll still be running the bot farms, relentless disinformation campaigns and killing people he doesn’t like on foreign soil.

Respect is earned.

Yay, more media consolidation

There’s a whole bunch of ways to do that already. This isn’t really new

Is that the fish where the male latches on to the female and then is slowly, I think, absorbed until only the testicles remain? The females can end up swimming round with a whole bunch of different balls on them and can choose which to fertilise with.

Nothing will improve until the rich fear for their lives.

Jesus, this woman is desperate to stretch out her 15 minutes. How sad

Is this an ad?

I can’t stand the word ‘content’

It blows my mind that so many Americans saw this petulant, orange manchild and thought yes, this man should lead us.

If I was American I’d be so embarrassed

Oh all the time. Sometimes while riding a tiger. It was the style at the time.

Well shit, 80s kid here and we kinda did this. We had a pile of old mattresses and cushions. The mattresses were the super cheap and crappy kind with no springs so were actually really good for landing on. The ground floor of our house was maybe 6ft higher than the back garden and we had a kinda small raised patio at the back door with steps down into the garden. We piled up the mattresses on the lawn, beyond the flower bed. And threw ourselves off the wall at the edge of the patio down onto the mattresses. Lots of fun.

My siblings and I used those same mattresses to slide down our stairs, crashing into them at the bottom. That was fun too.

I also remember finding these long smooth metal sheets somewhere and using them to make a slide down our garden steps. Then using a sledge sliding down it and crashing into the mattresses.

I miss those days.

What a cunt

Definitely agree with you there. In an effort to appear balanced they try and present different sides of an argument as if they’re both valid. I guess that’s how Farage got on so much.

To be fair to the BBC, they’re ‘supposed’ to report the facts without judgement. How successful they are at that is debated endlessly, you can find anyone of any political flavour who will swear blind the BBC is ‘obviously’ biased against ‘them’. They can’t win no matter what they do.
