Which means I'm damning it with faint praise! Similarly to The Force Awakens, I had an impression of an endless recycling of tropes, with the addition of a few new ones (like the Zatoichi thing). But it was well made, entertaining and I liked the somewhat bleak ending.
Hypothetically speaking, if a PEOTUS wanted to find a way to get murdered, attempting to destabilize the CIA and/or FBI and eliminate a bunch of their funding and jobs would be a rock solid technique to get that shit done.
I'm really ready to just have some time off to hang out in my house and unpack stuff.
#2 reason I dislike Oasis: Noel Gallagher.
I 'rediscovered' them a short time before that new doc came out, so everything lined up pretty perfectly to re-awaken my inner fanboy.
Back in the days when I socialized.
I like Brit Pop, Shoegaze as well Ev

Stupid and vulgar, but ambitiously so.
In the mid 90s, when "brit pop" was big, I was obsessing over bands on New Zealand's Flying Nun label and obscure american bands like, you know, The Grifters... My favourite british bands of that time are probably the Tindersticks and the Beatnik Filmstars.
So I didn't pay attention to that stuff. However, I do own a few "brit pop" records, bought several years after the hype died down (of the top of my head, a couple of Blur cds, Elastica's and Suede's first records, A few Pulp records).
Except for poor folks losing their health insurance, the potential for an economically catastrophic trade war with China, and the possibility that the new leader of the "free world" is actually more unhinged than many already believe him to be, the next 4 years may be rather innocuous.
