The Constitution forbids anyone "holding an office of profit or trust" from accepting any title or office from a foreign state without consent of Congress. So if Congress agreed it would be totally legit since nothing in British succession law prevents it.

There's sort of a precedent for this sort of thing since the President of France is by law also a co-Prince of Andorra along with the Bishop of Urgell. That's sort of the same thing.

Yes but that is by appointment and tied to the office; in this case the other title would be hereditary and tied to the person.

You do understand that not every product has english labels in them, and that small children cannot read, and the elderly tend to have poor vision so they cannot read the fine print?

I am 30-something guy and once thought I bought a water bottle from one Italian railway station, but the contents turned out to be some godafwul-tasting soda made from some goddamn flower petals and roots (after I googled what the gently caress it was that I took a sip of). The bottle was in the same freezer with the actual water bottles, and had a picture of snowy mountains, bubbly fountain and a patch of flowers in it, and no word besides italian in it.

I was in a hurry and just snagged the first "water bottle" I saw.

Also, in the "olden times" young children died because they drank caustic soda (lye). The most common cause was that the adults stored small amounts of lye in empty soda bottles in washing rooms or saunas, usually for easier access. Also, lye cannot eat itself out of a glass bottle, and it is very efficient cleaning agent, but also loving irritating and toxic stuff to handle, and its easy to pour it from a small soda bottle which also by itself is easily replaceable.

So basically this Tide Pod -thing is just the loving millenials reinventing or stealing the "drink the cleaning agent"-game from the millenials.

Fun fact, that's intentional. When Foley work is done and it sounds "real" movie viewers will complain that "the guns don't sound like movies guns"

They also say that people who get shot also tend to "throw themselves around" because they have learned that this is what they should do since it happens in the movies. Bullets do not have enough kinetic energy to throw adult body anywhere, just pierce and possibly pass thru.

One other thing is that guns (assault rifles and such) are actually quite heavy and awkward to handle without excessive training, especially when loaded. Like coffee cups which are empty, it becomes really irritating to watch movies and start noticing where it is obvious that the actor is carrying around replica/empty cup and does not do any of the normal world precautions.

Dalton was really shafted by Moore and the EON; the guy was the designated lead for 3-5 other Bond movies, in addition of those two he actually got to make.

1) Too young to replace Connery, 2) Still too young to replace Moore, 3) Moore came back with a principality clause, 4) Never made due to legal issues, 5) Production delayed and replaced by Brosnan.

Seems funny given iirc Roger Moore (or one of them anyway) was disgusted when he was still cast as Bond while his love interest's mother was younger than him.

It almost seems like he liked the money and fame that came with the role, even if he hated to do them? Considering, isn't the current Bond actor in the exact same situation? Or Connery, who finally walked away when the salary demands finally bounced.

Yeah. That was A View To A Kill (1985). The Bond Girl in that movie was Tanya Roberts, and he was older than her mother.

* This piece of Bond Movie Trivia (TM) brought to you by the HDTGM podcast episode featuring special guest stars Matt Gorley and Matt Mira of the James Bonding podcast.

Yes, and the rest of them were

1) Too young to replace Connery --> On Her Majesty's Secret Service (went to Lazenby who looked similar, but older on camera)
2) Still too young to replace Moore --> For Your Eyes Only, Dalton was actually hired and started to rehearse for the role, but still was ultimately dropped because he looked too young on-camera. This is the reason why it starts with a graveyard scene, to give the new actor some screentime before action, and is much more serious than the rest of the Moore flicks.
3) Moore came back with a principality clause --> A View to A Kill, Moore decided to do this so no-one else was asked. Should have, Bond looks ancient in this one.
4) Never made due to legal issues --> The Property of a Lady, would have been the one preceding Goldeneye but never left the pre-production phase.
5) Production delayed and replaced by Brosnan. --> Goldeneye, Dalton declined "serial contract of 3-4 movies" and was replaced.

This piece of Bond MovieTrivia brought to you by surfing the wikipedia when idling.

EDIT: And of course Dalton's 2 Bond films were between the bullets 3 and 4, but on the other hand he only got the gig finally after Moore left for good because Pierce Brosnan was not available at that time, doing Remington Steele. So Dalton started as the backup for Moore/Brosnan and Brosnan was later used as his backup.

I have no idea how they pull it off, I'm guessing it's about staying vague about everything but the essentials and never, ever putting notions like commitment and responsibility on the table.


Used to work in recent post-WW1 history because every other major player was bombed to poo poo, had two generations of adult males with PTSD or such, or were recovering from rear end-backwards dictatorships. So they were more or less needed because they had the production capability, actually functional infrastructure and money to spend on stuff.

Now that France and Germany have managed over 50 years without fighting a pointless war against each other and others like Spain and Italy have stopped being stuck on the century before the previous one, the continental Europe has the chips to tell the GB to stuff it.

There are 139 movies currently scheduled for theatrical release in 2019 (including those already released in Jan/Feb). Of those, nine (9) are remakes, and I'm including as many films as I can justify in that number (for example, I don't know what the animated Addams Family movie will be about, but I'm counting it as a remake). 21 are sequels or part of a shared cinematic universe. Of the rest, 14, as far as I can tell, are based on existing properties.

So 44 out of 139 movies being released this year, or ~31.7%, are either remakes, sequels, or adaptations.95, or ~68.3%, are none of those.

Clearly "the industry as a whole has decided that creativity is dead and focused exclusively on plucking the nostalgia strings".

This, and plenty of examples from 70's, 80's and 90's of movie studios grenading themselves with hugely expensive box office flops, and people keep wondering why the "big money" movies are almost always sequels or remakes.

Unless you are laundering money for Pablo loving Escobar it would be foolish to burn all your resources on vanity/Oscar bait/experimental projects. Its not art for art's sake, its entertainment business. Make money with the cash cows and sometimes try out new ideas.

Basically about "every country in the world, in other countries". For example the left-wing sweetheart author of USA, John Steinbeck was an adamant supporter of the Terijoki government of the Finnish Democratic Republic. Terijoki government was basically was a puppet government conjured up by Stalin to give legitimacy for their invasion, and planned soviet-style occupation and enslavement of the Finnish people.

And we still consider Steinbeck's books to be quite poignant in some themes, but the guy was a certifiable rear end in a top hat for what he did against the legitimate Finnish government, which at that time was supported by all but the most Stalin-now left wing radicals.
