So SHUT UP AND WATCH IT, ...

Sorry. I'll have to wait 'til it's free on Xfinity, if Xfinity survives that long.

So after reading reviews and watching the trailer I was like "Oh, last man standing theme". Then it hit me that after all these decades I'd never watched They Shoot Horses, Don't They? (1969) English Full Movie | Watch Boldly!

Now that is free on Youtube. So I watched that instead. But then I wanted to read the book by Horace McCoy but that's just a preview. Can't find the whole book for free.

There's a reason you separate military and the police. One fights the enemies of the state, the other serves and protects the people. When the military becomes both, then the enemies of the state tend to become the people. - Commander William Adama

If you have a fire stick pm me.

I am the best in the world at giving simplified instructions for seemingly complex endeavors.

Question for the moderators.
Would it be a problem for me to give detailed instructions to allow side loaded applications for clearly other users software development projects?

No, don't have a fire stick.
I can always find something else to read. Except there seems to be longer time period for books to be public domain.

Here's what Canada Project Gutenberg says:
Quote:1 January 2025: Book Burning Day in Canada!Every New Year's Day authors of 50 years before used to exit copyright in Canada. Then Justin Trudeau extended copyrights by 20 years.
 
The reason was Trump, of course, and his New NAFTA, which turned Canada into a US colony, quite literally.
 
Here in Canada we no longer make our own copyright laws. The result: a massacre of our cultural heritage. No new public domain titles until 2043! And by then many of these titles will be lost, forgotten, and impossible to find or to rescue.

Enjoy!


One of mine too although I thought they were all good.

Here's a free audiobook version - listened to it a while back and it's still awesome - Stephen King was way better back then.







Cheers.

Watched the film, haven't read the book.
Does the book convey similar unconscionable authoritarian distopia as the film? 
The film focuses entirely on the walk, with small backstory side-bars. Same with the book? 
Credit to the actors, easily discernible characterisation. Loads of dialogue, other than the killing, very little action.
Not one for a rewatch.

Yes.

It was a very dark read.
You must develop the ability to be disliked in order to free yourself from the prison of other people's opinions.
