Re: R.I.P. Joseph Lieberman
Mister Tee wrote I know I'm several days late on this, but in case Sabin still wants an answer to his question re: Gore choosing a different VP... Bob Graham would have been a far more neutral way to boost himself there. Which was important, because Lieberman singularly antagonized significant port...

Re: R.I.P. Joseph Lieberman
I want to correct something and add something. I've already posted enough on this but... I referred to Joe Lieberman as a bought-and-paid-for right-winger in the Democratic Party. I have no idea if his political beliefs are a product of his worldview or his donors. Something I'm increasingly interes...

Greg wrote If Gore had any idea that Florida would have been as close as it was, he probably would have chosen Bob Graham. I really don't know much about Bob Graham. I've looked his wikipedia over a few times. He seems smart and competent. According to wikipedia, Gore's short list was apparently Ba...

Re: R.I.P. Joseph Lieberman
For a good portion of my adult life, my politics were defined by "None of this would be happening if Gore won," which I recognize now is -- while maybe not incorrect -- not very mature. I was excited about Al Gore in 2000, I was excited at the idea of a Jewish running mate, and yet somehow...

Re: The Official Review Thread of 2024
For the first 30 minutes, I found Julio Torres' Problemista irritating but as it went along I liked it more. It's the story of an El Salvadoran immigrant who comes to the U.S. for the opportunity to apply to work at a toy company and quickly afterwards finds one financial trap after another as he tr...

Re: I'm always here for the Trivia
Mister Tee wrote Not a revolution, but I'd say progress. What's closer to a revolution is the number of women nominated for Best Director. This decade alone (if we start in 2020), we've seen almost as many nominated (4) than in all of Academy history combined (5). Not to mention twice as many winne...

Wasn't the recent Ari Aster film on that level (expense wise)?
I'd imagine this would have a better shot.
