Re: Current Events...
It seems like the media keeps suggesting that Trump and/or Biden will not run in 2024. Does anyone actually believe it's not inevitable at this point?
Trump supporters don't even care what he has to offer anymore. It's all ride or die at this point...defiant to the end...and completely and totally substanceless. Trump has nothing to offer except revenge.
I was reading about the Michigan GOP...they're completely broke and literally fist fighting each other at meetings and conventions. Losers keep running and doubling down on the same shit that cost them in 2022.
How does the Republican Party get out of this?

Re: Current Events...
I keep seeing Back to the Future 4 trailers - but I've heard no official word that it they are real...the trailers are really impressive and could easily fool lots of people if they are fake.
Anyone know anything about it? My favorite trailer begins, 'when time travel is invented it will be the biggest ethical dilemma that mankind will ever have to deal with...'
They're awesome but fake I think, there's a lot of vision out there of the delorian from stuff like BTTF skits, Japanese TV commercials, in character promos/anniversary content, and of course audio from the computer games. I think they've assembled clips of that stuff with some stock footage into a trailer. Very nicely done too.
I can't find it for the life of me now but I feel the scene of the delorian crashing into a mall wall is from an old comercial or something. I remember cos it was kickass extra delorian footage at the time for BTTF fans. In the full version they go open up the car afterward and like doc comes out or something and there's a lot of smoke. hahah vague I know.
I think we would have got BTTF4 if not for michael's condition. And I gather the situation is Bob Gale (writer of the original) has co-ownershop of sequel rights and his policy is apparently "over his dead body". So until he passes I don't think we will see a reboot.
If you are a fan there was a game written by Gale that functions as a loose Part 4 for Ps3. Some people have edited it into a cartoon on youtube if you're into it.
It's limited cos it was a game, but it has the sort of whimisical plot a BTTF 4 might have had.

Re: Current Events...
Anyone watching Tyson Fury vs. Francis Ngannou on Oct 28th?? I get it's a big payday for both of them but really think a boxing world champion should be defending his belts against actual boxers.

It would be an utter embarrassment. I swear these guys can hardly box at all. Everything has become so controlled and sanitized there is no excitement.
People want to see these fights because they either want to see the youtube star get beat, or the other way around, but what you really get is a friendly stage play with no real damage being dealt in a prearranged outcome. It's just pure shit.

Re: Current Events...
Weather I like him or not Fury is world class but in general I agree with you, fighters in the 70's and 80's fought so much more often too. I agree that some of them these days can hardly box by comparison. I mean Wilder is probably great in a streetfight but seems to have almost no boxing IQ at all. The fights you actually want to see rarely get made & any fight that goes to a decision always has at least one judge who score's it so wrongly you just know they were payed off.
The actual entertainment left in the sport seems to come from behind the scene's crap and shit talking between promoters.
Re: Current Events...
Looks like cracks are now starting to show in the "coalition" backing Ukraine.
Poland will no longer sell/donate weapons to Ukraine...most of the tension surrounding the grain/immigration issue.
Out of all the allies Ukraine might rub the wrong way, they are the last one to screw with for obvious reasons.
That crisis forming between Canada and India is weird.
Re: Current Events...
Seems to me the republicans want Ukraine to be taken…and Poland probably too…
Then we will have fully erased the progress since 1945…
The purpose of allowing that to happen is beyond my comprehension…
But oh well…let it happen i guess…if you all want WW3 this would be the best way to make it happen…
If Ukraine and Poland won’t stand with each other they’ll go down together
