TOUGH GUYS DON'T DANCE

This movie is from 1987, and it is based on a Norman Mailer book, it got terrible reviews, and many people consider it to be appalling. In some ways it is, but I have to say I still think it is one of the most entertaining movies I've ever seen.

I recently watched it again, and still found it enthralling. Yes the acting is a bit odd, but compared to the limp, woke, turgid crap that passes for movies these days, this is a work of sheer genius.

The reviews are terrible, but ignore them, reviewers don't know shit from chewed dates. And this movie is definitely chewed dates!

This review is quite entertaining really: https://film-authority.com/2021/03/24/tough-guys-dont-dance/

 "Tough Guys Don’t Dance is trash, but it’s amusingly self-important trash, a film that lays open the vanities and miscalculations of the creative force behind it"

"For bad movie fans, it’s a masterpiece of over-ripe dialogue, ridiculously melodramatic situations, and rabid, macho posturing that curdles the moment it hits the screen. Over 30 years later, we’re still talking about Tough Guys Don’t Dance"

 

WHERE HAVE ALL THE LOLS GONE

 Is society becoming increasingly humourless? Or is it just me? In an attempt to assess this objectively I've been trying to do some comparisons. 

Clearly movies are not funny any more, and I don't think anyone who isn't retarded would try to argue that one. Movies are not anything any more, they are all just utter shit.

So how about LOLPICS? Being a bit of a compulsive collector I save any images that I think are funny, and since 2019 I seem to have saved over 600 pictures each year.

 But in 2023 the numbers starting noticeably dropping off, then in 2024 there were even less, and after a quarter of 2025 I'm on target for only about 160 images - just 1/4 of the number I used to collect up.

So I've posted my last six LOLPIC Galleries from 2019 to 2025 online to see if something is really going on here:

LOLPICS 2019 - Total 624

LOLPICS 2020 - Total 738

 LOLPICS 2021 - Total 902

 LOLPICS 2022 - Total 682

LOLPICS 2023 - Total 391

 LOLPICS 2024 - Total 149

LOLPICS 2025 - Total 125

 

COCA COLA PAGE

 A Coca-Cola page has been added to this Sift blog.

Imagine pushing this poison for over a century and getting away with it…

It’s so common place that it goes unmentioned, and unchallenged. Its logo is in every shop and street, it sponsors TV programs, appears almost everywhere, and is readily valued and accepted by the unthinking masses. It’s “down with kids” who drink truckloads of the stuff and have it for breakfast. It even has thousands of devoted fans, and millions of addicted consumers.

AN END TO BLOGGING ABOUT BLOGGING

April The First is a better day than many to make crazy new month's resolutions, being April Fool's day and all that. But I'm not taking the piss here, this is really my plan.

From April 1 2025 I plan to make the following changes to my blogging:

1. NO MORE BLOGGING ABOUT BLOGGING - Going on about blogging is the blogging equivalent of taking selfies, & I've been going on excessively about my blogs over the past few weeks. It's enough to bore the legs off a donkey. Black blogs, purple blogs, hit counters, whatever. I even have a tag for all these posts about blogging: "blogging". 

OK, that's enough, I'll attempt to stop blogging about blogging here. This is my current blog, it is purple, I'm not optimizing my tags for crawlers, and I'm not trying to promote it to search engines or social media. If barely anyone else reads it, too bad, I read it!

2. ONE HOUR MAXIMUM PER DAY - It's not like anyone is paying me to post all this crap online. It is an entertaining hobby but I really have other things to do, so I need to cap it. I will time how much time I spend blogging each day with my stylish yellow stopwatch from Ali Express. If my latest post isn't finished I will leave it in drafts and finish it off tomorrow.

 

3. LET GO OF THIS GRAND IDEA OF ONE POST EACH DAY - There is this voice in my head that says a real blog has to have one full length post each day. No more and no less. Where did this stupid anal rule come from? I would be better off without it. I want to post whatever and whenever, loose and free, without that school teacher figure cracking a whip in my mind.

 

A QUARTER OF A YEAR

A lot has happened this year, or at least it appears to have happened (but most of it is probably fake) and three months has seemingly gone by in the blink of an eye.

Here is a fake picture of the moon to signify something to do with quarters, or moons, or fake narratives, or something else meaningful:

The end of a month, and especially the end of a quarter of a year, seems like a good time to make changes, and today I feel like making some of them those.

Despite posting all sorts of things online, I usually try to avoid posting much personal information. I mostly stopped using my "real name" online back in 2021, because it was becoming increasingly clear during the covid hoax that anonymity would be a valuable asset in a mind controlled society. So this is about as personal as I get.

It wouldn't take Sherlock Holmes (another fictional character) to track down my real identity, but there is really no point making these things too easy for the ruling clowns. They are not really the "ruling elite", which is one of the grandiose terms they like to refer to themselves as, in reality they are a sad inbred cult of mentally ill perverts.

It's time for me to stop obsessing over the mass deception. In 2023 I mostly stopped looking at all social media, but I did continue using Facebook, because it can be quite entertaining sometimes, and being pretty much my only source of updates about popular mainstream narratives, it's the main thing that keeps me vaguely up to speed when I need to converse with normies about any of that crap.

Recently I've done a couple of posts saying that after a quarter of a century (another quarter) of posting about "conspiracies" online, I couldn't be arsed anymore, and it was time to pass on the baton, leaving exposing that stuff to others. 

So it was a bit of a surprise when one of the very few people I recommend and follow online, Jason Christoff, just said basically the same thing in an interview this week.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zv16VtziynA

It is well worth seeing this interview. In it one of the things he is saying is that all the narratives we are being told are fake. As I previously grasped the extent of that, and realised just how few people are able to avoid being mind programmed, it slowly dawned on me that there is no point taking it all too seriously. 

Yes a bunch of satanic globalists really do seem to be controlling everything, and things are fairly fucked up. A massive crash is probably inevitable now. But going on about it all the time, is playing into their hands by assisting with their fudporn and doom and gloom mind programing.

I sort of get the contradiction but struggle with it sometimes. We are watching a giant circus show and nothing is what it seems. Almost all the things we have been told are lies, and nearly all the people telling us these things (on both "sides") are controlled puppets. There are very few exceptions, and I'm probably not one of them. 

I'm focusing too much of my attention on what is going wrong, and I have been for a long time. I need to let go and move on. So I'm going to have a crack at shifting my mental focus to things that are Positive, Inspiring, Necessary, or Entertaining (PINE). 

This is not the first time I've tried this, but if at first, you don't succeed, try again"

That is why I'm aiming to let go of a bunch of things, simplify where I can, and not take it all too seriously.

New Zealand is pretty messed up at the moment, but it's still an awesome place.

THIS PURPLE BLOG IS BACK AS MY #1

I set up a stylish new SIFT blog at the start of 2025, with a different Bloger theme, all in a restrained black, starting off fresh again for the new year, with all updated content, but the hits never got as high as on this purple blog so I've decided to flag it, and go back to purple as my main blog from April 1 2025.

The black blog will remain as an archive of my first three months posts of 2025, so if you want to check it out go to:

PURPLE vs. BLACK

For three months I've had two different versions of my SIFT blog battling it out with each other in the wild seas of the deep state controlled internet, each desperately trying to gain authentic hits in an endless stream of fake AI traffic, so I've been back to my original existential battle of purple vs. black.

 My original www.frot.co.nz from 1998 was purple and that was a fairly controversial choice, with one website reviewer saying my site was a garish abomination that burned out his eyeballs and left him a gibbering wreck.

For my second version in 2000 I switched to the more subdued and conservative black. At that point black websites were less common than they are now, and it had a certain dark and stylish menace about it. I liked the look and after that I tended to stick with black websites from then on. 

Over the past few months as I've been switching back and forth from cool looking black to wild looking purple, it's made me appreciate the differences more. Black is quite calming and works better as a backdrop to galleries of images. But purple stands out amongst so many colourless sites and really makes a bold statement. It says "This blog is purple". 

I'm not sure which is "better" but I have to say after 25 years of black, the purple one is growing on me again. Both sites are slowly gaining more traffic, so I tried posting the same content on them both for a while to see what happened.

Here is a screenshot of my black SIFT blog with posts staring Jan 1 2025 (so only three months of posts). It is displayed here using the new FLOORP browser that I highly recommend, and which I use as my default desktop browser.  It is a Japanese privacy fork of the Firefox browser available for both Windows and Linux (but not Android)

And here is a screenshot of my purple SIFT blog, with posts starting Jan 1 2024 (so there are nearly 18 months of posts now). It is displayed here using the BRAVE browser, that I do think is quite stylish once all the junk is removed, but it lacks some features that I like to have. For that reason Brave is my second choice of the Chromium based browsers, with my first choice being Vivaldi.

https://sift666.blogspot.com/

I've been directing the www.sift.co.nz URL at the black blog, but the purple blog has been getting a lot more hits, so I've decided to switch the URL back over to that instead. 

Posting on two blogs is a bit of a pain in the arse, mainly because I keep noticing typos in my posts later on, and having to go back and fix them twice. So I'll continue posting on both up until the end of March, but then I'll go back to only posting on the purple blog from April the 1st.

So then, black or purple?... I've been wrestling with this life defining question for 27 years now and I still haven't resolved it. Maybe the answer is unknowable.

LARS ULRICH'S WIFE

Metallica drummer Lars Ulrich is married to a real heavy metal fan, a true head banger. She bangs her head so much she has developed a neck like a tree trunk, and big wide shoulders too.

 Back in the old days Jessica Miller had a different look, but was still very feminine. Not...

 Miller, 41, who was previously in a relationship with SYSTEM OF A DOWN guitarist Daron Malakian, was a professional model, and has appeared on the cover of various editions of Vogue magazine. She has also been a model for Gap, H&M and Chanel, among others. (Fashion magazines all pretty much only feature trannies on the covers, especially Vogue who make this very obvious)

Heavy Metal has always been the music of real men!
