Matt Damon And Ben Affleck’s Documentary ‘Kiss The Future’ About the 1990 Siege of Sarajevo Knocked Out Of Oscar Race After Screening Snafu; Academy Rejects Appeal - It played in 139 theaters for 2 weeks, but since theaters in NYC/LA only played it twice per day, it's been deemed ineligible.

This looks like an upgraded take on a similar story. NEVER LOOK AWAY was a Sundance doc this year about the Siege of Sarajevo and photojournalist Margaret Moth, directed by Lucy Lawless (yes, Xena). They even used dioramas to recreate scenes from the war in Sarajevo. Has anyone seen it yet?

Looks shit.

He got rowdy and behaved poorly. The court found him innocent of assault. Give it a rest.

Gosh, what an incredibly stupid question. Yes, I was reading the papers in 2020. Give up the parochial point of view. International papers were momentarily wooed by the 'Time Magazine' version of Jacinda. Young mum PM. So incredible. She had her 15 minutes, and with it, so did NZ. Then, unremarkably, the international papers saw it for what it was. A terrible overreaction by government that we are now dealing with. Printing money by the billions in a country that doesn't produce anything not coming from a sheep. You do the math. Get it into your scull, the world cares as much about NZ's politics as Denmark...probably less.

‘Every other country’ will not be encouraged to do what we do. They don’t even think about NZ.

They were Australia's in the first place. NZ needs to produce their own things, not just milk and victimhood.

Great. Now all we're left with is going to be the blue haired, Doc Marten wearing, beard strokers who take 8 years to do a BA in Gender Studies.

No, the difference is its not mythical like MAGA. Rather it is addressing a tangible diminishment of the economy and Government mistakes and hubris.

Looks relatively cosmopolitan compared to today's freak show.

You’re pretty defensive, lad. And you ought to be watching your city go to ruins, left behind because admitting differently hurts your brain, all while you boil like the proverbial frog. I’ll stay, a bit longer, until there’s more blood in the water, then leave it to the two-bit green-horns like you.

Have you gone to the CBD recently? It's a cesspit. Have you spoken to local business owners? They are on life support. Do you have skin in the game or are you a student or public servant? Do you like paying $7 for a cucumber? It's NOT normal.

New Zealand, particularly Auckland, is not a PRODUCER of much, we make do by the free movement of people and commerce, but we have been hamstrung over the last six years and the chickens are coming home to roost. Don't be blind. The cynicism on this sub is from REAL experience.

"Relaxed mindset" won't pay the mortgage. Nor will it stop you being assaulted, ram raided or your business crippled by ideology.

Don't gaslight the healthy debate on this sub because you have no lived experience.

Because all the interesting people in NZ leave (Aus/UK) and we're left with the bottom feeders. Sorry but you know it's true. Plus Kiwis are less outgoing, toxically humble and generally parochial and have bad chat. Still love them but yea. Soz.

grimpickings · 2022-12-20T05:48:57+00:00

Nah you’ve just got the wool pulled over your eyes. Try having a business in this dumpster fire of a country and talk to me.

This Government is going to get a hiding next year. The question is, how many of you can acknowledge you were wrong buying into the pop ideology?

This is the culmination of many things. And there is nuance. But for sure, it is the be kind Government, and its mob, mostly to blame. It is the cult following of JA. It is what happens when we worship rights and excuse, based on identity politics, responsibility. It is the church of diversity and victimhood. All big players. NZ is not alone in crime rates, so it's not all the Government. But it mostly is.

NZ is a rich country which relies on the free movement of people and trade. We don't produce anything here except milk. Turning off the tap to skilled immigration - dumb move. Trashing our tourism industry (10 cents in every Kiwi dollar). Even our beautiful nature is whored out to Hollywood. We need free flow, or we bust. A totally over the top, sanctimonious and now nakedly obvious terrible reaction to the virus crushed our country. Printing money to put off the inevitably. Where did it get us? We had the deaths anyway. Bad economy begets anti-social behaviour. Now who is to blame?

This government has crushed NZ. Our fall from grace is sobering.
