Will have to stop apologising for being 5 years behind the rest, but..... The Boys. Brilliant. Takes the superhero genre, turns it upside down and proceeds to shake it silly. The violence and sex is, ahem, graphic ( I thought I'd seen it all before - clearly I was mistaken ) but the show is...

Oh no, such sad news. Condolences to the ones left behind. A Very good person.

A Masterpiece. Been a fan since Prisoners ( aka " Captives " here in SA ), but Arrival, Sicario and Bladerunner 2049 has, for me, cemented Villeneuve as one of our greatest living directors. a Cinematic genius.

For me, hifi pleasures can easily be reduced to - - Listen. - Hear. - Be honest with yourself. Deceptively simple but, for some, apparently, unobtanium. And, " trying to convince others " does not feature ......

Re Sonus Fabers: Have a pair of 25 year old Concerto's ( the real deal ) and two 4 yr old Cremonese's ( the wannabes ) They still have to prove themselves ( the Cremonese's ), but yeah, getting there. Never heard Vivids but, fcuk, they look terrible. Never really been a fan of double blind...

I'm in my late 50's, so my son and his school had to teach me about " cyber bullying ". Two terms, which, I always thought, are a contradiction in terms. Just shows you how far I'm removed from our times. ANYWAY.. This is avforums.co.za If you can't handle what's being preached: cables...

Sorry for straying, but....... Just imagining that in another few years the title to this thread may well be: " What?? An Audiophile?!! " Hopefully not.....

My previous posts make my feelings about the actions of the SA Government quite clear. I'm no conspiracy theorist, but would love to know the real agenda behind the sudden galvanising of our, otherwise spectacularly inept, judiciary into this grandstanding. Election year, distracting attention...

After some reflection - a change of heart. The poll is about " ...capturing sufficient perspective .....". I think this thread beautifully demonstrates how Donald Trump managed to enter the White House for a first, and most probably will manage to enter for a second term. Conducted in a...

Tja, necrophilia just aint what it used to be......

Confirmation bias is insidious and finally death to the intellect. It has also now become the edifice on which FaceBook, YouTube and social and news media in general is built. Find out what they like, and give them more of same. As easy to obtain as whatever " information " you wish to get...

Doesn't add or solve much, but worth a share: " It is way beyond Ironic that a place called the holy land is the site of the fiercest, most deeply felt hatred in the world. " George Carlin

We can't agree here. We don't need to. Alas, they can't agree there. And are dying. Some here have high hopes for a positive outcome - I fear that has now been dealt a deathblow. Two peoples involved - both see themselves fighting for their very survival. One surrounded by friends and...

I find your comments the most insightful and even handed. You should post more. Please.

I do not expect, want or believe the status quo to be morally right. You may be misunderstanding my position. However, what I am saying is that the current status quo, and now probably worse, will continue. For only 75 years? Maybe. And if that happens, Hamas, through its thoughtless...

AlleyCat, it is called " moral grandstanding " and our government knows how to do it. I certainly do not agree with certain local groups that we have our own little homebrew genocide going on, but who knows, maybe we should ask the people involved? We travelled halfway across the world to...

One thing that I find incredibly sad is that Hamas, and yes AlleyCat, Hamas exclusively, have through their October idiocy now ensured that there will not be peace in Palestine, and Israel, for a long, long time......certainly not in my lifetime. And, although tragic, the fact that our...

Most of my Serbian friends understand the Russia- Ukraine conflict so much better than me ( no matter how many sources I quote ) and I get the feeling that most folks chatting here understand the Israel - Palestine issue much better than I do. Given that, I still do not understand what Hamas's...

^^Yes. Clearly a dangerous thread to partake in, but it remains incomprehensible how SA managed, at very short notice, to trot out our greatest legal minds to pursue a clear agenda in an ancient conflict ( and no, not Armenia, Ukraine or Sudan ). All while we have one of the highest murder...

Wow Gents, what a thread! Did not know we had it in us...
