First impressions of Spirited Away from someone who's interests do not come close to Anime. For context, I am a 6ft 260lb Strongman who likes Quentin Tarantino films, drinking good quality IPAs, Bourbon and Rum. I like tech-metal and heavy electronic music. I have never had any interest in anime before, it has never appealed to.me, nothing about it. I had surgery on my arm last week and am signed off work for the next 6 weeks, can go for a walk, but can't drive. I cannot use my right hand so am fairly limited in what I can do. Today, I decided to out my prejudice behind me and give Spirited Away a go, I had heard of Studio Ghibli and thought, 'why not?' I have to admit, I absolutely loved it. I had no idea what to expect, but I love how the story evolves constantly. The whole film escalates continuously in a dream like world that kept my attention the entire way through. I'm prone to drifting during films, but I was watching properly the whole time. The plot, characters, storyline and setting kept expanding, so rapidly, that before long I wasn't concentrating on the 'why's', just accepting what was happening for the sake of an adventure film and going with it. Don't get me wrong, I have so many questions that I'm happy to leave unanswered, such as: Why are they all animals? Why are there some humans that noone is questioning? What is No-Face? Why does the bathouse business need to exist? Why is there suddenly a Geisha house? Why is there a disproportionate amount of frogs? Why does the bird lady look identical to Margaret Thatcher? Why is No-Face eating everybody? What on earth is this giant baby doing? Why does Alice in Wonderland look like a day trip to the beach after this? Why does No-Face go completely back to normal after leaving? I think No-Face is absolutely fantastic for reasons unbeknownst to me. I was dreading that there would be a 'she woke up and it was all a dream' ending and was glad to see there was a subtler, more clever ending to it than that. Highly impressed, never thought I'd watch an anime film yet alone enjoy it.

Anidav posted:a Herald Sun report in Liberal internal polling by MediaReach of five marginal Victorian state seats, showing devastating swings against Labor. The Liberals are credited with leads of 70.6-29.4 in Bayswater (50.4-49.6 to Labor at the 2018 election), 68.0-32.0 in Hawthorn (50.4-49.6 to Labor), 54.5-45.5 in Monbulk (58.6-41.4), 54.9-45.1 in Mount Waverley (51.8-48.2) and 57.9-42.1 in South Barwon (54.6-45.4). Daniel Andrews is nonetheless said to have preferred premier leads over Michael O’Brien of 46-37 in South Barwon, 43-37 in Mount Waverley and 39-29 in Monbulk, with O’Brien leading 46-33 in Hawthorn and 37-33 in Bayswater. The polling was conducted on Tuesday from samples of between 523 and 694. Ah yes the famous marginal seat of Hawthorn.

Keep in mind that part of the reason backpackers pick fruit is because they need to spend a certain number of days working in a rural area to get a second year on their working holiday visa.

Get the National Party to pick fruit, they haven't done anything useful in Rural Australia for a long time.

Yeah you shouldn't post your boarding passes on social media. And definitely not your credit cards (it happens). And don't post your house keys either because someone can cut an identical key based on just a photo.

Sulla Faex posted:Did anything ever come of the Tony and Peta thing? A quick google suggests it was really only in the news cycle for the 2016 fed election campaign period, so I don't know where we landed on whether there was anything behind that or it was just politick as usual They did everything together, like skiing, sharing a villa in france on holiday and allegedly Peta fed him with her own fork at a restaurant but there's no evidence they hosed.
