What Are You Watching Right Now?

I only caught the last hour but was the rest of it any less pointless?

^ I've been watching it too, though the questioning has gone on way beyond my attention span, so kudos to Old Man Mueller who is hanging on in there, on what must be the toughest day in his life.

To me it's not pointless; most people knew going in that this was going to be the movie of the book and it looks to me like the dems are getting some answers that clarify the report. Those might provide some killer soundbites, and that's when we'll see if it's been pointless or not: when we see how are analysts, politicians and the public respond to the soundbites.

All I saw was "You've had my report for months and I'm not allowed to say anything not in it, why am I here?"

^ Yeah, a lot of it is like that , I think. But right out of the gate Mueller said plainly that the report does not exhonorate Trump, so perhaps we'll now hear less of that claim. Mueller also repudiated another Trump claim: that Mueller was turned down in a job interview by Trump. This is one of the lies behind Trump's "conflicted" tag for Mueller, so maybe that idea has been eroded today as well.
I was hoping to hear Mueller flat out contradict Barr's version of the report's conclusions, but Mueller isn't going there. So, maybe not pointless testimony but certainly a meagre fulfilment of Dem hopes.

Mondo made me wanna watch werewolf movies so I'm watching Dog Soldiers right now. Got The Howling, American Werewolf in London, Company of Wolves, Howl, and Wer ready to go for after. Any suggestions are appreciated.

Hour of the Wolf but that's like an indirect werewolf movie.

I like Ginger Snaps.

If it doesn't have trve kvlt werewolf action then I'm still interested just not today.

I second Ginger Snaps

Ja, all the werewolf elements are referential in Hour, basically. Watch Ginger Snaps.

Have you seen Twilight?

I unironically endorse the werewolf action in the last 2 Harry Potter movies.
