Alright, since here we spoke about Saw movie series, I will continue on here.

After seeing how the newest one starts (brutal Murder, no escape lethal torturing machine) I just turned the shit off and deleted the file. If I wanted to watch not-at-all-thrilling butchering senseless movie I'd take autopsy videos. Shall I spend a bored meal/evening then? No, I just went for my still unread and brand new collection of Tintin comics. Gosh a big deal to drop a movie.

Heh, Tintin is fun. In an old-world, relentlessly optimistic kind of way. Did you read the original "Tintin in Congo" though? It's delightfully patronizing and even racist at times...I mean, I don't condone that shit, but it's kinda funny to read how 'those poor little blacks in the colonies' were regarded back in the day. If somebody would try to pull the same stuff today he would be publicly lynched (and rightfully so).

Another gem: "Tintin in the Soviet Union"

Lmfao!


As for horror movies...I don't like it when they feature an overdose of gore. You know what was a great movie? Cloverfield. It did a great job creating a genuine feeling of disconnection, of fear. The last few minutes were a letdown, but on the whole it's one of the most suspenseful movies I've seen in years. And that without being outrageously gross!

I like my horror games much the same. Sure, I don't mind some severed limbs and gore-ish action, but nothing says tension like a good storyline. Or, like in Condemned, walking into an abandoned mannequin storage at night with nothing but a flashlight, a tazer and a 2x4.

Those two early Tintin's give a brilliant insight in colonial (in Congo) and catholic (as in anti-communist, he wrote the story for a catholic paper) thinking in Western Europe in that time. Alone for that reason they should be in print (preferably with a foreword explaining the circumstances).

From some reason, but not on purpose, I skipped the first three tomes. I don't know what's there. The rest does the relaxation job for me just fine.


It is just not possible to forbid the worst sort of stuff today, especially if it is financed by today's power cores. To caricature it, if it was a goal to satanize all 'negris' and call the world for their extermination, that would be just as good as done. Of course, it would have its cost, like we've just observed lately.

Oh yes, let me mention it. It was extremely funny to me to watch how Germans pretend to be ashamed of nazis, and thus torturing the Wikimedia staff to reduce the content from their articles on the stuff of WW2 that was showing off the nazi symbols. On the other side, we have simple folk (not extremists, just simple citizens of Germany) that just doesn't get what was wrong about Hitler's doings. hypocrisy all around. I would like to meet a German pussy start talking like that in my own land. Heere, kitty-kitty-kitty.

By the way, I doubt any of those would exist like this today if Serbs and other Slavs weren't used as a shield against the Ottoman Empire. `Ox, don't get me started on the west's role in destabilizing these same region starting from the moment they decided this shield has done its role well and that it is time to turn it into yet another colony, and till today, when that dream slowly, and dreadly paid in money, comes true.

True, fucking up smaller countries and colonies is one of the few things we ever managed to get right in Western Europe. But hey, don't look at me, I'm Belgian and part Hungarian...the former is too small to ever have played a role of any significance and the latter was screwed over royally in WWI.


EDIT: we DID exploit Congo in a brutal fashion, so maybe Belgium being altogether innocent isn't exactly spot on.

There is no innocence as far as countries go... every country has its skeletons. My two main countries (the US and Germany) you don't even have to go look up anything. Oh well, committing atrocities seems to be a human trait.

Just don't make me think you're actually enjoying yourselves there. Well, I've just come in possession of these pretty links, which you might like to watch:

And some bit about US attacks on ... err "regular targets"?

You'd agree most of it just doesn't look like a regular military target (by the way, the first two videos are actually saying that very little military targets were actually damaged). That would make a nice look spread all over your countries don't ya think?
