  • Hitler was put on the United Nations War Crimes Commission's first list of war criminals in December 1944, after determining that Hitler could be held criminally responsible for the acts of the Nazis in occupied countries. By March 1945, at least seven indictments had been filed against him.

  • [There Can Be Only One] What's your single favourite TV show?

  • Party Down.

    Aside from the fact that it's consistently well written and funny, it's also very accurate in my experience. I used to work in hospitality/event catering when I was younger and we all had some kind of reason why we were temporarily working in the industry. No one gave a fuck except the manager/supervisor, who would always be extremely stressed and wishing everyone else would put in the same amount of effort as them.

  • Thanks for the summary! I'll definitely be following it more closely if she thinks it has some legs.

  • Fallout Season 2 Opens To 100 Percent On Rotten Tomatoes

    Jump

  • Some critics are good, some are bad. Some audience reviews are genuine and helpful, some are review bombs from people who didn't even watch. Pretending either of these groups of individuals behave as some sort of monolith is rather silly.

  • What was the worst cancellation for you?

    Jump

  • The OA. That was the cancellation that really turned me off Netflix and streaming more broadly, and changed my viewing habits.

    Jump

  • They depend on each other in the sense that Labor needs Greens preferences and Greens voters need an alternative to a Coalition government.

  • It's an interesting relationship between the two parties, for sure. As he says at the end, they kind of hate and depend on each other at the same time.

  • Forgetting a January release is very understandable.

  • Breaking: NSW Police responding to reports of shooter at Bondi Beach

    Jump

  • Sydney + Melbourne is closer to 40% of the nation's population. Not really sure why you're talking about states, that's a complete strawman on your part.

  • Did you not read the page you linked?.Most of the incidents are in Sydney or Melbourne or their outer suburbs/districts. And yes, bigger cities tend to have higher rates of terrorism. That is entirely consistent with the point I am making here.

  • 'The Expanse' at 10: The Outer Space Drama That Should Have Been as Big as ‘Game of Thrones’

    Jump

  • Part of the problem is that the classic detective hat (trilby?) Miller wears is similar to the redditor m'lady meme hat. People found it hard to take his character seriously because of that (particularly since he is initially introduced as a typical tryhard "cool" character). The show markets itself as a science fiction epic (which it is, eventually) but those first few episodes have a lot of Miller walking around in the hat doing typical slow burn noir detective stuff and people think that's the entire show and lose interest.

    Jump

  • This sounds stupid but the most consistent reason I have heard as to why people dropped the show was Miller's hat. It definitely has a slow and overwhelming start, but somehow the hat exacerbates that for people. I guess it's not necessarily the type of thing people expect to see going into a science fiction epic so it throws them off a bit and they think the show is less serious/ambitious than it actually is. Even I found it quite weird at first (not knowing at the time that it was inspired by film noir and hardboiled tropes).

  • Breaking: NSW Police responding to reports of shooter at Bondi Beach

    Jump

  • Look through the list of terrorist attacks (successful and prevented) in Australia, you'll consistently see the same two cities coming up. It is hysterical and/or arrogant to immediately frame this as a national issue when it's just simply not. Australia is not mono-cultural, we shouldn't be extrapolating out from two cities and pretending the other ~60% of the population suddenly has something to fear.

  • Breaking: NSW Police responding to reports of shooter at Bondi Beach

    Jump

  • Well it happens in Sydney, and to a lesser extent Melbourne. It does frustrate me a bit that these things get framed as Australian issues when they're often not.

  • ‘Holes’: Gender-Swapped Reboot Pilot Not Going Forward At Disney+

    Jump

  • Agreed, this was one of my favourites as a kid. Long overdue for a rewatch!

  • ‘Holes’: Gender-Swapped Reboot Pilot Not Going Forward At Disney+

    Jump

  • It's because it is now considered (more) socially acceptable for women to take an interest in historically masculine things/exhibit feminine behaviour. You do not need to be a gay woman to appreciate a film about a "tomboy". This doesn't work the other way around though, no one is really interested in films about boys/men doing historically feminine things/exhibiting feminine qualities. It's considered gay and weird/creepy, unless it's specifically played for laughs.

    Like think about any famous film about a girl or a woman and then imagine if it would be successful with a male lead. It probably wouldn't, unless you massively overhaul the character and plot.
