I roll my eyes at F&F movies because of the constant shifting up in gears to go faster when they've already done that so much that there aren't more speeds left on the transmission. The rest is pretty rad though.

My feeling is that Hillary will win and get a Senate majority but the GOP will seek to scapegoat early voting. Is that something in the states (and therefore the GOP's) control?

The earlier movies aren't as ridiculous, four is kind of the tipping point between the somewhat more grounded earlier films and the stupid awesome stuff of the later films and suffers for it by being a bit too serious.

I live my life *puts on sunnies* 50 parsecs at a time! Edit: The transformers movies are bad on multiple, multiple levels. They spend ages focusing on plot, dialogue and character when all they do all of those things terribly and as an action movie they are lovely because they are an aesthetic mess of poor direction and particle effects. You can barely track wtf is going on half the time its just motion blurry close ups of overly messy robot designs.

Paradoxish posted:I'm getting kind of sick of hearing this. The reason none of this stuff matters is because Trump is already sunk. He's going to get like 40% of the vote or maybe even less. He can't be sunk anymore. There's a point where you literally cannot harm a candidate any further thanks to a core of voters who will always pull the lever for their team. I agree in part. The vote for him is going to be depressed because the narrative that both candidates have been smeared with deserved or otherwise has been pretty foul. However his numbers do fluctuate as quite a few republicans have come back. Many of the Never Trumpers are grumbling and coming back. However it seems like at least in Florida you're seeing 20% of them voting for Hillary in the early votes. I guess Hillary's history of center-right policies as well as her husband's are attractive to older republicans who don't vote strictly down ballot. However Trump's numbers do fluctuate. Him bragging about sexual assault brought him down to 36% when his lowest was around 39%. The ceiling has been permanently lowered for him. However what bothers me most is that the FBI is playing politics this close to election day. I'm not sure if Comey is doing damage control, spiking her wheel, covering his rear end or doing a combination of all three. I don't go in for ideological purges, but allowing alphabet agencies and the bureaucracy at large to interfere in elections is a bad precedent to set. I'm hoping for a purge of people who run their mouths this close to an election. I don't want to see it popping up in 2020 and beyond. I want the bureaucrats to do their jobs, not campaign for their favorites. There's a theory in political science that says that people that work for the government can never truly be middle class because with that wealth often comes interest in political speech. However if you work for the government you can't be middle class because you can't criticize uncle Sam, or whomever you work for really. Not openly anyway. For good or for ill screwing with those precedents is not healthy for the country when one mixes the work the government actually does to keep stuff running and supporting one party or politician over another. In short I want them to be apolitical and do their jobs. That might be a tall order, but in history ideological purity doesn't make the railroads run on time. In any political system some of the most powerful people are the ones who violate precedent. Traditions that aren't enshrined as law that people follow because that's just the way things have always been. Sometimes they're arbitrary, but often enough they exist because those traditions help keep those political systems together where it might be awkward to legislate stuff or the political will never existed to legislate it until someone violated it. Conceding to your opponent if you lose is a tradition, not law, but as soon as you not only don't but spout off at the mouth about how things are rigged you're interjecting dangerous ideas into the electorate. Personally I think those ideas only exist because DJT is intensely prideful and they just happen to resonate with his followers so of course he keeps saying it. For example, consider the nuclear football. The device that allows the president with incredibly few checks and balances to launch a nuclear missile at a target of his or her choosing. This completely bypasses congress' ability to give a yay or nay on war. This was an expedient as missiles could be launched at any time in any direction and congressional approval takes time. It's also a relic left over from the cold war. Imagine if someone used it not as a last resort, but to send a political message. The precedent and prestige of merely having it and never using it would go out the window. Congress would make attempts to claw back war powers from the president. Not to mention people making GBS threads the bed across the world if it didn't start a war or blind and panicked retaliation from other powers. That extreme example of precedent over law exists just waiting to be used with so few checks and balances. A relic from the cold war that could really gently caress everything up.

The 2016 Ghostbusters is on par if not better in some ways than the 1984 one. For one, there's character development in the 2016 version.

I agree fully, thats why I'd love to just see an awesome fast and furious style heist movie with lando chewie han and the rock playing someone. However, I'm pretty sure Disney is going to make it an origin story, or at least make sure all those 'origin' elements are there.
