Apocalypse Now scene where Martin Sheen is fucking around naked in a motel room, yeah, he was actually that drunk when filming.

Ex junkies from the DAA UK influenced the creative process on Trainspotting, advising Danny Boyle on what it was like to get high on heroine so he could translate it into various scenes. They actually make a cameo in the football (soccer) scene in the intro of the movie.

I've not seen Trainspotting and have heard really good things about it so that may be useful. Do you have any interviews that specifically relate to my original question? I'd like to familiarise myself with the context of their input before deciding on the movie.

No interviews but this article might help.

Yes.

Gun culture is the most cancerous thing to come out of burgerland. I would have more respect for gun fags if they just buck up and admit they don't want stringent regulations because they like guns. Trying to use tenuous arguments like "protection" will never work because time and time again unrestricted gun access has proven to make communities less safe, not more.
How is protection a tenuous argument? There are old men who have defended their homes from thugs because they had a pistol. Without that they would've been st their mercy until the police showed up.
I'm not denying there are isolated incidents where having a gun has come in handy, but those incidents could probably be reduced had gun access been restricted to people unfit to actually use firearms. You're actually more likely to be shot by your three year old than you are fending off some rogue attacker.

Nobody is suggesting guns should be banned for people that can respect a weapon, but there clearly needs to be some semblance of effective gun legislation that prevents retards and degenerates from doing the shit they do on a regular basis.

I mean, Bush literally plunged both our countries into a clusterfuck of a war, Reagan deregulated the banking industry which lead to the 2008 financial crisis, but if you're still that much of a saltlord that you actually believe Trump is the worst president thus far then you haven't been paying too much attention.

YourMovieSucks would be top tier if only he could maintain consistency with the amount of content he posts (that and he's a degenerate fur faggot). I disagree with a lot of his reviews and he has a really weird tendency of nitpicking the most asinine shit, but he has provided insight into looking at films from various different perspectives for me.

If only he could post more regularly, because a two month gap between video content is just ridiculous considering the stuff he provides in them.

You guys realise it's still going to be the same run 'n' gun tacticool shooter with a WW2 skin? Right?

Don't really understand why people are getting hyped up about another WW2 CoD. A turd is still a turd no matter how much "look, we're returning to our roots" marketing you throw at it.

There is a difference between a debate and a discussion.
Discussions usually involve a back and forth between two or more parties though. So far all she's done to contribute towards this discussion is get all defensive when we chip in our two cents. She hasn't even addressed the main bulk of our points.

She asserted something, we addressed it. Not my fault if she thinks we're trying to have some sort of character assassination circle jerk, or whatever the hell she thinks is going on here.

There are some really dumb and clunky design choices and people have voiced their complaints about the combat, although for me I think it's pretty satisfactory. I guess it comes down to personal preference.

After a year or so of mulling it over I don't think it's le greatest RPG ever made but it's definitely a must have RPG, I'll say that. You can easily sink in 100+ hours of the base game and an extra 50 or so with the DLC. That's not even including side quests and points of interest. The Polish folklore it's based on is really intriguing and offers a change of pace to the standardised Tolkien formula that modern fantasy RPGs offer.

I think it's a classic but I understand it's not for everyone. It took me a while to get into it but it's immensely rewarding once you get over the learning curve.

I honestly don't know why we even bother with you sometimes. What exactly were you expecting when you created this thread? Either put in the effort to discuss and defend your points or don't bother making these kinds of topics in the first place.

finding any evidence
Did you even bother to read the links you just posted?

Your first article is literally just half speculation about some professors who suggested that automation has been widening the gap between productivity and job growth without providing any substantive causal link, then the second half goes on to debunk and cast aspersions on that very assertion. "The evidence isn't conclusive" is the one sentence you should probably take away from that article, if you even took anything away at all.

Your second link doesn't even work for me.

I'm also not sure why Stephen Hawking, a physicist, thinks he has any authority to predict economic forecasts.

Automation compliment's labour though, it doesn't nullify it.

We've been crying wolf over the prospect of automation since the 1800s. Poor farmers thought that industrialisation and agricultural advancements were going to kill their jobs, when it had the exact opposite effect. There's no concrete evidence that automation is the ticking time bomb that's going to wreck the economy and capitalism. It's just speculative guff.
But industrialization did kill plenty of jobs for poor farmers. The farmers themselves were fine, sure, but you don't see nearly as many field hands nowadays, now do you?

There's no concrete evidence, sure, but there rarely is any concrete evidence for societal and economical shifts.
No...It really didn't. Early mechanical harvesters and improved ploughing techniques resulted in better crop yield for farmers, and in turn, a higher demand for agricultural labour to operate them. Automation was practically Christmas for serfs and peasants on the cusp of industrialisation.

I'm not implying future automation has absolutely no negative consequences whatsoever, but the suggestion that it could lead to the downfall of capitalism itself has no basis in reality. The labour market has always been extremely elastic and adaptable to change.
