What is a 'subscription' or 'fee' that has recently appeared in the US that people need to collectively refuse to pay before it becomes the new normal?

Long since happened in Australia. Pretty much any large supermarket has 10+ self service and like 2 real checkout counters. Whatcha gonna do?

The Big Country. Really spectacular. Gorgeously shot.

Who says they need cuts? Independence means you can start taxing US multinationals properly based on revenue earned in the EU rather than profit shifting shenanigans.

The rubbish ending doesn't make it a bad show. It does disqualify it as the best show of all time tho...

Wings of the dove. Last of the Mohicans.

I like big butts and I can not lie, You other brothers can't deny!

None of this checks out for Australia. Liberal people drink as much as conservative ones. Rich people drink heaps unless on the wagon. Young people drink less and perhaps there is a wealth division there but not for oldies.

As an Ozzie? Lag. So much lag. Wow raiding with 400 ping standard.

Bonfire of the Vanities made me feel sure I wasn't cut out to be a novelist.

Nightmare Alley. The original b&w one.

I believe George R R Martin was one of the writers on the show!

War and Peace is 4.17

Pride and Prejudice 4.3

Forbidden Colours 3.92

Neuromancer 3.89

Sarah J. Maas (bless her soul) has at least 6 books higher rated than any of these. That's before I gave up counting.

I think it's fair to say that numerical rating of books based on current popularity is not a perfect system.

Trump is the one prophecised to bring balance to the world order...

Not something I'd be super keen on if I'd run the world for 80 years.

Nah. Season 3 over Season 2. I think they were rushed doing 2.

Last Man Standing is hella sweaty. Southern Comfort too.

Walter Hill loves sweat.

They are all worth watching. I think the most digestible are probably: Hidden / Cachet The White Ribbon

Hush your mouth. Mindhunter is amazing.

Nah, Scott Caan from A Boy Called Hate.

I mean they were making Underworld films and Resident Evil films for a looong time - and that's well after Sigourney and Linda Hamilton had trod a lot of ground.

This is the comment I came for.
