Said it a dozen times since last year but it's beyond farcical that this was put to a public referendum. The government are voted in and paid to run the country yet the biggest economic decision for the UK in our lifetimes gets decided by the public and given how little the general public knows about the practicalities of EU membership they may as well have just saved us the trouble and flipped a coin in the Houses of Parliament. Even the well educated members of the public couldn't and can't predict the impact of leaving the EU and we're talking about a pretty small proportion of the public too sadly. Too many others had to vote based on point scoring sound bites from leading politicians on both sides of the vote because that's all the media can be bothered to offer us rather than the facts that could have given the public some idea of what they were voting for or against. I'm not saying the result would have been different either because who knows, but the whole situation is shambolic and reflective of the leadership we've suffered in this country (from both parties and the likes of Farage) since I was old enough to have any understanding of it.

Priceless

@Tsubasa I had a wide smile on my face, as soon as I noticed your profile pic. And yes, that scene was absolutely amazing and so was the one where Michelle Williams meets him on the street later in the movie. One of those movies that feels like a heartbreaking but brilliant novel.

Manchester by the Sea (2016) Re-Watched it last night and actually enjoyed it even more the 2nd time. A perfect portrayal of grief and depression, and Casey Affleck is just mindblowingly good in this. So is Michelle Williams. 9/10 The scene at the Police station is one of the most heart-wrenching scenes I've ever seen.
