Friday [18 till close of play]

(1730) Evening all.

25.  The Barbary pirates [too]

24.  Just watched another Identity reaction

… this time with a married couple, black, who often do music reactions.  Completely different animal to the Norwegian girl … except for one thing … when Bourne cuts Marie’s hair, Centane freaked … not with scissors like that!  The wife just now also freaked out over the haircut, hubby just looking at her. LOL.

Just watched part of the first pictured lady below, called Madison, on Supremacy … she’s the most mature and I hate to say it coz I like the other two a lot  … but Madison’s the most thoughtful overall … life experience. 

But Dasha understands Russian and Supremacy has much Russian. Interesting that someone must have told her about her immodesty in Supremacy because in Ultimatum, she was dressed properly. 

The thing I appreciate most about these three was just how deeply they engage with the material, doing it justice, making intelligent observations.  The other thing is, after all these years … just how good the films were for their time.

23.  The Bourne Trilogy

If you’re going to look at these three reactions … part one already up … it helps to know the three movies already because these are not reviews … they are reactions … different other animal. 

When the reactor insists on being front and centre herself … using what seems the youtube ready-formatting options, plus she’s female and can’t keep the mouth closed, as in the third reaction … Ultimatum … then you may well ask why … in all three cases, she partly obscures the action too … and so it goes on.

Let me put it this way … guys are dry and they dissect, girls are effusive and responsive … guys are better for witty reviews, girls for being entertaining themselves.  

So I started going through so many reactions to the two remaining films and something became obvious very quickly … the majority coming of American and some Brit females doing this on youtube were unpleasant … sorry … from bits of metal through their faces to gross tatts to the sort of precocious brat attitude to the left here, in stark contrast to the Norwegian we’ve seen and the Russian coming up tomorrow.

In short, they were unwatchable … no wonder there is so much trouble now marrying and procreating.  

The lady in the first pic … she reacts to Ultimatum third … she’s ok … talks the whole time at the start but is essentially nice and not up herself.

The Russian girl (left here) doing Supremacy … coming up tomorrow … is anything but full of herself … quite the opposite but I had to deliberately take a shot covering her cleavage … in fact I was going to replace her with another reasonably good American … except that Supremacy has much Russian dialogue, Russian situations … and Dasha here is Russian … she interprets … methought that might be useful for us.

Plus she’s done her homework … Russians tend to … and she engages with the film best of the three imho.

22.  Vox on Cummings

21.  DAD

DAD loves graphs. A new report by the Centre for Policy Studies throws even more light on the sheer scale of this immigration crisis and why I call it a crisis. Here are 10 key charts along with some more mind-boggling facts and statistics. https://www.mattgoodwin.org/p/britains-immigration-crisis-in-10

20.  Italian affair

19.  The **gg** we must not name

Other ways of messing with the weather, not just from planes.
