          @jordanscollected:

          Watched "Vancouver Is Dying" last night, about the drug and violence issues in Vancouver and the govt's approach to mitigating the rapid increase in the past few years. Scary stuff for the people of the city just trying to live their lives, and tragic for all involved, including the businesses that have to try and stay open while the homeless set up tent cities at their doorstep.

          @jordanscollected Wow, just wow. That came as a shock, as I have visited Vancouver a lot in the past. Due to the kids, my wife and me haven't been there for a little more than 10 years now - seems like it has taken a turn for the worse…

            @tody I have never visited so the shock coming from you is really impactful. It’s a tough watch but really well done. It doesn’t give the govt a chance to respond so you don’t get both sides, but a strong picture is painted of a city taking a turn for the worse.

              I’d take a video like that with a liberal sprinkle of salt [mention]jordanscollected [/mention] and [mention]tody [/mention] . Seems to me it might be selective spin from some politicos who want excuses to be “tough on crime” and show their opponents as lax. We’re seeing a lot of this in the run-up to our elections, too.

                @sabergirl I think that I can see past this indeed pretty one sided view in the movie. What struck me most is the fact that the city seems to have such a big housing and drug problem nowadays so that tent cities are appearing in the middle of the town - I was not aware of the fact that it has gotten out of hand that bad.
                What I always was aware of was a pretty large wealth divide within the city, but I personally feel more comfortable in the more diverse areas, in any city. Probably because my punk rock days are far from over…
                Whether the solution to this problem is to be tougher on crime, I‘m in no position to judge. I tried to catch up by reading a few online newspapers from Vancouver. They are transporting a much more differentiated picture and point out that these people have indeed nowhere to go. What I‘m pretty confident about is that police oppression and brutality is never and adequate solution to any problem.

                  I would agree with that, for sure! All of our major cities are struggling with unhoused populations like this. San Francisco, where I used to live, has some areas that are overwhelmed by tents, and the cops will sweep through to try to clear everyone out and destroy everything only to have the poor people turn up again because they have nowhere to go. It’s incredibly sad how in some of the richest places in the world we can’t figure out how to help people effectively, or don’t care enough to do so.

                    I will also say that I haven’t watched the doc that Jeff posted, yet. So I may be way off base on my assumption that it’s some sort of propaganda. Any light that can be shown on the desperate plights of addiction and houselessness is better than ignoring these major problems. I guess it’s the thesis that the city is dying in the title that put me off.

                            For anyone not familiar with MCM, it's basically a car channel on YT.
                            But this feature length film has a lot of Japan to show, it's not just for car guys.

                              The Menu was absolutely brilliant dark comedy horror thriller satire. Enjoyed every minute of it.

                              Anyone who’s a foodie and likes to laugh and themselves would enjoy.

                              Think it, be it.

                                  Everything Everywhere All At Once was great. Second that recommendation.

                                      This just hit U.K. Netflix this weekend. Mrs H and I just watched it. One of the highest recommendations I can give for a straight action movie in the Taken and Equalizer “older-dude-with-a-very-particular-set-of-skills-comes-out-of-retirement-to-fuck-up-some-bad-dudes” sub-genre.

                                      But imagine those movies with the violence turned up to 11. And then add a bit more blood. Bob Odinkirk kicks some serious ass.

                                      Edit: changed the trailer to one which spoils fewer of the fight scenes.

                                          @Matt I think it snuck out during the pandemic, direct to whichever is Universal’s preferred streaming service. I get the feeling if theatres had been open it’d be a word of mouth hit.
