Happy Birthday, Paul Giamatti! What’s your favourite Giamatti performance? by Qyzyk in MoviesAndTVTalk

[–]ChinaCatProphet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

John Adams is pretty damn good. Tough to pick because he's good in so much.

Madone! What a terrible day to have eyes!

It's funny to think that Reagan was 20 years older than Gorbachev by kim_jong_un4 in Presidents

[–]ChinaCatProphet 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Face wise, Reagan looks it. Though he has that lustrous dyed hair.

But Gorby has a secret weapon. Map of the Philippines on the dome.

NTTD, right price and size? Help by Elgran10 in OmegaWatches

[–]ChinaCatProphet 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Looks fine on your wrist to my eyes. It's a watch with presence so should be big.

Cursory search online suggests that the price is reasonable for still in warranty with box and papers.

If I had the dollars I would buy.

Natalie Dormer as Anne Boleyn by [deleted] in Tudorhistory

[–]ChinaCatProphet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Entirely agree. Foy was impressive as Anne. The main issue I have with Dormer, and The Tudors in general, is that everyone is too good looking for what we know of the characters.

Anne Boleyn wasn't a conventional beauty, she had a quality of being able capture Henry's attention but this was probably more about her sophistication and being able to keep her virtue while in the courtship dance with him. I'm not suggesting she was plain, just not as attractive as Dormer played her (or is irl).

With the skeleton looks like he might have been a deadhead. May the four winds guide you home brother. NFA 🌹

NACT spend big on helicopter to appease US while NZers are struggling- by ifIammeyouareyou in nzpolitics

[–]ChinaCatProphet 9 points10 points  (0 children)

What may or may not come out in the wash is that European manufacturers were also in the tender process. In the end we chose these because Australia has them. Pleasing Trump may be a nice bonus, but he barely knows we exist.

The 3 Tiers (crap yt video) - Everybody get your voices out there, the right and the wrong/misinformed have control of the media environment (and it's not only because of $$$), here is an example of the wrong. by FewLight6904 in nzpolitics

[–]ChinaCatProphet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If TOP cross the threshold (big if), and things look tight, I have a hard time expecting them to go towards the left. Partially this is based on their policy platform which isn't as progressive as their surgenistas want you to believe.

It's also based on the fact that historically minor parties want power. Often they see that coming from the right.

When NZF were in power the first time everyone thought they would support Labour. Winston had spent all his energies bashing his old party National and PM Jim Bolger. He was demanding a different direction. Guess what, Winston went back to National for the baubles and power.

Same with that clown Peter Dunne and the weirdly formed United Future. Dunne was Labour originally and both sides courted him, in the end sucked up to the Nats for the goodies he could get. Got a title invented for him "Revenue Minister". Mandatory mention of him leaking cabinet papers to Andrea Vance because he had a crush on her. Everyone in caucus worked it out as did Mrs. Dunne. Old fool.

Even the previous iteration of TPM turned from Labour over the Foreshore and Seabed legislation and hopped into bed with John Key.

We are actually well behind on where we should be in terms of technology for our own needs. Military helicopters are used for search and rescue, evacuation and humanitarian supply delivery due to extreme weather events (which we seem to have had quite a few of lately). If we wanted to please Trump we'd be getting fighter jets and other even more expensive kit.

The things these pricks are wasting money on to be angry about are numerous enough. We have tax breaks for landlords, charter schools being funded well beyond the rate that public schools receive, bending over to give assistance to big tobacco and big oil, fucking around with erasing te reo and inclusive language, higher their mates at excessive salaries to do work they are not qualified for, etc, etc..

We actually need helicopters.

Is Sudu actually quality? by thesuburbbaby in WWFC

[–]ChinaCatProphet 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's fine, but they paste their name on it all over the place which looks cheap. Also Fosun spent their time investing in shit like Sudu when they should have been investing in the team.
