Better Call Saul, Adam’s cut: the finale without the white knighting

I hated the Better Call Saul finale. So I’ve change it. Get “Adam’s cut”, a much better version, without the white knighting.

(mostly) SPOILER-FREE part

You know how it is with movies and shows these days.

Wokism and white knighting everywhere.

The finale of Better Call Saul was no exception. I liked the show, but I hated the finale – and not only for the wokism. It was generally incoherent. They didn’t manage to tie up all the strings.

So, I changed it.

I couldn’t do much about the incoherence, but at least I removed the simping.

How?

There’s a way in the VLC video player to have a playlist with start and end times. Using it, you can cut out parts, or even rearrange scenes.

Here’s my playlist:

#EXTVLCOPT:start-time=0
#EXTVLCOPT:stop-time=1541
video.mkv
#EXTVLCOPT:start-time=1691
#EXTVLCOPT:stop-time=2173
video.mkv
#EXTVLCOPT:start-time=2371.4
#EXTVLCOPT:stop-time=2951.3
video.mkv
#EXTVLCOPT:start-time=2997
#EXTVLCOPT:stop-time=3011
video.mkv
#EXTVLCOPT:start-time=3258
#EXTVLCOPT:stop-time=3392
video.mkv
#EXTVLCOPT:start-time=3413
#EXTVLCOPT:stop-time=4003
video.mkv
#EXTVLCOPT:start-time=4005
#EXTVLCOPT:stop-time=4014
video.mkv
#EXTVLCOPT:start-time=4016
#EXTVLCOPT:stop-time=4309.4
video.mkv

I’m not giving a file, to ease worries about viruses etc. Just copy paste the few lines, paste them in a text editor, change the name of the file to your own finale episode filename (you must have it on a file), and save it as finale.m3u. The times are in seconds (For reference, my own copy has the “static” of the titles start at 05:55.450, i.e. 355.450″ in case you need to adjust the times in the file for your own copy.)

If you’ve seen the finale already, you can use my cut to show it e.g. to your children, and spare them the woke brainwashing.


Almost all the shows that go out nowadays are unwatchable due to their hard feminist political line. I expect the same with e.g. the upcoming Lord of the Rings adaptation. Why not do our own montage, and enjoy the story our way?

Now, is this kind of arbitrary?

Not really.

In many movies, you might have seen a later version come out, usually subtitled “Director’s cut”. This mean that the producer got to decide the original “cut”, i.e. editing, which includes the ending, contrary to the director’s wishes. So, the director redirected the scenes, added his own finale, and voila.

So think of my “playlist” as “Adam’s Cut”.

In fact, I propose we adopt this term for edited versions of films that do away with the gynocentric propaganda of the “me too” era. Considering practically all forthcoming productions are going to be chock full of woke propaganda, this might be the time to start a movement.

So, go ahead and do your own “Adam’s cut” of your favorite movie or series – where Adam, of course, is a reference to the first Man.


SPOILERS follow

For the “Adam’s cut” of the Better Call Saul finale, I’ve done minimal editing, cutting out some parts. In the producers’ cut, Saul sacrifices himself for Kim, a cliché finale – in this and every other era, really. In the version I provide, he gets off lightly, as was his initial plan – and there is a hint that Kim might even wait for him to get out of prison. And we leave it at that.

Isn’t is much better than sacrificing himself for his accomplice, just because she’s a woman?

Enjoy!

Honorable traitors

There is a dark side to femininity, which, due to the pro-female bias bestowed upon men and women by evolution, goes unacknowledged. Men are particularly victims of that bias, because it benefits women on their expense. That’s why women that have called out femininity’s dark side are the salt of the earth, virtual heroes of humanity. Here are some of them.

Florence Nightingale (1820-1910), a British woman, was the founder of modern nursing.

“Women crave for being loved, not for loving. They scream out at you for sympathy all day long, they are incapable of giving any in return, for they cannot state a fact accurately to another, nor can that other woman attend to it accurately enough for it to become information. Now is not all this the result of want of sympathy?

I am sick with indignation at what wives and mothers will do of the most shocking selfishness. And people call it all maternal or conjugal affection, and think it pretty to say so. No, no, let each person tell the truth from their own experience.

They really don’t have sympathy or the ability to empathize, because they are always judging everyone and every thing as a product on a social value scale that relates to their own egos and bounces off of themselves. There is no capability for genuine feeling.

This is what I have experienced with women, there is no capability for genuine feeling for other humans, or really in general, except when those feelings are for themselves and the other people are just proxies to bounce ideas off of.”

-From Florence Nightingale on Women, Medicine, Midwifery and Prostitution: Collected Works of Florence Nightingale, Volume 8.

Book Review: NiceGuy’s Land of the Losers

Most of us men, in order to discover the nature of the female, need to go through a series of negative experiences first-hand – and pay dearly for the knowledge. Up to recently this was the only way. Books like NiceGuy’s Land of the Losers give young men the chance to extrapolate from their own common experiences, and reach useful conclusions sooner – i.e. before it’s too late for them.

Remember this girl that was an angel one moment, a complete sociopath the next? It’s in the book. Your past girlfriend that “accidentally” slept with her ex? In there too. Remember when you “got lucky” at a bar sometime that you were piss-drunk? In there, too. Even that dream you had, where one gorgeous woman in a red dress is completely and passionately in love with you, and you woke up crying, that’s in there as well.

The book is practically NiceGuy’s diary, where his life experiences are used as chances to comment about the wider male-female dynamics. The depictions of events range from hilarious to cringeworthy – a feature which probably matches most men’s experience in the dating market.

NiceGuy refuses to “game” women. He keeps searching for true intimacy. It is a tactic that does give you answers. But does it give you results? Noble as it may be, it remains at least an open question whether searching for true intimacy from women is a viable tactic. NiceGuy concludes that for American women, it is not. His experiences, though, are from 20 years back, and seeing the sense of entitlement of the average American woman spread across the globe in the past two decades, he might actually generalize his conclusions to all women, today.

Quite a few men will enjoy this book. Newcomers to the Manosphere will find enlightening insights, and old-timers will get some good laughs.

You can get a free preview and buy the book from NiceGuy’s site.
