I'm watching that 'inside the worlds toughest prisons' there. Not exactly a brain work out, but grand. I'd heard conditions in Norwegian prisons were relatively soft, but FFS, the cells are like a solid 3 star hotel! The cunts who cook the meals are all given culinary courses, they learn engineering, all kinds of trades etc. Good for them, they are unlikely to reoffend, but I wonder how the victims families feel about it.

And you look at the swagger of someone like Varg. It did no good with him for example. A couple of years breaking stones might have taught him some humility.

[Caomhaoin]

That Breivik fucker getting that treatment after what he did? Surreal.

[Pedrito]

Yep. Should have been hung, drawn and quartered.

Good for them, they are unlikely to reoffend, but I wonder how the victims families feel about it.

Must drive them...berzerk! 

(Varg would say unfortunately not, since they're all docile christians now. I wonder actually what he thinks about how prison should be, has he done a video where he "finds out" about appropriate institutional punishment?)

[Caomhaoin]

He did talk about it on his YouTube channel before it got obliterated. Moaning bastard had plenty of complaints.

[Carnage]

One episode left of Gangs Of London, I'm sorry now I waited to watch it. Mighty stuff indeed.

[Carnage]

Rewatching Das Boot for the nth time. Four episodes in, it gets better and better with every watch.

I still think The Complete Uncut Version is the definitive version (and I have it on DVD), but went with the series for picture quality (blu ray) and there's not much in it, to be fair.

[Caomhaoin]

Episodes? Is there a series? I thought it was a film only.

[Carnage]

One of those where there's a few different versions:

Theatrically released film (~2.5 hours, edited to focus on the action)
6 part series shown on BBC & German TV (~50 mins. each - more character development and tension building)
3 part series shown on German TV (~100 mins. each, same content as the BBC version)
Director's cut (~3.5 hours, extended version of the theatrical cut)
Complete Uncut Version (~5 hours, basically all of the series, minus the recaps and overlaps) - this is the definitive version IMO.

The BBC release had the best subtitles, but the blu ray release I have is the German release, the subtitles aren't as accurate. There's a newer version, the subtitles might be better.

I'm debating whether to buy the 'Complete' boxset -  the theatrical and director's cuts & the 6 part series on BR, plus the soundtrack and audiobook (in German) on CD. If it had the Complete Uncut version on BR I'd be all over it.

In a Top 12 list of "Best Prisons", (which sounds a bit of an oxymoron), Norway it at the top, and JESUS CHRIST, looking at their description you'd pay a load of money for these kind of activities on a holiday - "enjoy luxuries like tennis, horseback-riding, fishing and sunbathing", going on to say, "the prisoners at this minimum security institution probably often forget they're prisoners". NO SHIT!

Watched I Know This Much Is True. Like listening to The Cure, played at half speed, coming down off pills. Grim.

[Carnage]

Ruffalo was excellent in it, best performance(s) of his career IMO.

[Emphyrio]

Without doubt, ya.

Once upon a time in Iraq. Really well put together doc by the BBC. Harrowing but captivating. Really shows how badly America fucked up that invasion.

Watching Les Bereau on Amazon. French spy thriller. Really good.

Lastly 're watching Justified. Great craic altogether.
