Have you seen Fight Club? I don't want to be unkind but it sounds like the sort of comment someone would make if they'd heard of Fight Club.
Fight Club (for my money) was about finding weak points in a system and applying acupuncture accuracy in excising dead tissue to bring about change. |
Yes I've seen it.
I disagree that Fight Club was about identifying weaknesses in a system. That (i.e. identifying weaknesses in a system) can be used to justify any destructive act. There was no computer hacking and reporting back to the network admin, in that movie. That movie had terrorist cells being set up, men looking for a sense of purpose and belonging being brutalised in an ultra-masculine cult, and buildings falling down.
I think there's always a danger of seeing everything through a narrow lens, e.g. network security. However, the movie was not about that. It was about a descent into barbarism. Nothing productive came out of that. It was all destruction. You note that the lead character was dissatisfied with his perfect flat and his perfect Ikea furniture as his perfect "solutions to modern living". But look at what they represent. Perfect geometrical forms. Form and function as one. Mass manufacture and virtues of engineering over an intangible "quality". It was a normal, average man with a desk job, becoming a bestial degenerate. It was just a bad outcome. The movie was a warning. |
Has to be the mark of a good movie if people can read into it in a multitude of ways For me the Na'vi are the bad guys in Avatar, film makes much more sense! ____________________ Husqvarna Vitpilen 401, Yamaha XSR700, Honda Rebel, Yamaha DT175, Suzuki SV650 (loan) Fazer 600, Keeway Superlight 125, 50cc turd scooter |

Shock horror! Politician tells lies! Well, I never would have thought.
I'm more concerned at how his stupid green policies are going to leave thousands in poverty. And how he isn't making the most of our new-found independence. And how the Tories are doing little to fight back against woke ideology. The "party gate" thing just adds to the general distaste for the twat.
He did get us out of the EU, and he is now seemingly doing the right thing over putting the whole Covid thing in its proper place (although sacking thousands of NHS staff for not having the jab is questionable). But he won't be able to live on past glories forever, and sooner or later people will want to see these issues addressed. ____________________ Chickenystripgeezer's Biking Life (Latest update 19/10/18) Belgium, France, Italy, Austria tour 2016 Picos de Europa, Pyrenees and French Alps tour 2017 Scotland Trip 1, now with BONUS FEATURE edit, 5/10/19, on page 2 Scotland Trip 2 Luxembourg, Black Forest, Switzerland, Vosges Trip 2017

Sorry but Boris is our most disappointing PM... since Teresa May
Strange that Val's not around to crow about it. I'm assuming the pay checks have been disrupted due to the war special military action. ____________________ Husqvarna Vitpilen 401, Yamaha XSR700, Honda Rebel, Yamaha DT175, Suzuki SV650 (loan) Fazer 600, Keeway Superlight 125, 50cc turd scooter |

I'm not a Boris fan, there has to be better but Starmer, Wee willy and all the others aren't.
He signed up to get Brexit done and ended up with a pandemic, a war and a cost of living crisis. Whether you think he has done OK is a matter of opinion. Mine is he has done OK, many mistakes but it was the blind leading the blind at times.
Of course the red part of the country think he hasn't but even with partygate (which personally I couldn't care less about) his stock hasn't fallen therough the floor which says more about the opposition than Boris and the Torys.
Teflon Boris doesn't have the same ring as Teflon Tony but I can't think of a good appellation for him. I'm sure someone can though ____________________ Triumph Trophy Launch Edition |

I agree with this.
Bojo is a bit of a balloon but not nearly as as much of a Sneaky-Basty-Nastard as Tony the Tosser is. (T.B. Allowed/Encouraged state money to pay for Jesus Schools where their Science officer went wild in a Statement about Creation. And there was no fucking scandal kicked up about that.
