It happens offscreen, but Eric believed and said he would do it as Andrew was the non believer.

Also, either way it was still after all the horsemen were dead, so it shouldn’t have worked but it seems like it did, so Leonard was also still lying about that.

Obviously not Lt Aldo Raines. He got the job done

Yes, and I think it communicates the inherent contradiction within fascist social structures. Everyone wants peace (e.g. family) and prosperity -for themselves- and they’ll kill anyone that gets in the way or is currently in the way of that.

... take the cannoli.

Is that him, with the sombrero!?

Don't help a foreign dignitary cover up her sex crimes!

Cunnilingus and psychiatry brought us to this.

Don't forget the 3rd commandment: Keep They Religion to Thyself

We've found a quite a few that may have water. We would still probably wear a spacesuit when exploring them.

We watched a few of the Tall Tales shorts along with some of the other spin-off stuff. It's cute enough for my daughter to have a laugh.

"A bit of moisture is there but otherwise a fine nice planet, with great desert areas like the sahara, just need some small modifications.

Is not like you can afford something else..."

Yeah if I had seen cars 2 in theaters I absolutely would have been worried about their future ideas. Thankfully they recovered and I didn't know any different (until recently).

The Fan

It insists upon itself

I wasn't saying every car is a racecar, but Cars 1 starts off with the main plot being about a arrogant racecar trying to win the race, and when he ties his entire goal is getting back to racing.

That initial act is replaced when he is forced to slow down due to his own actions, and it was refreshing that the plot develops more into a "stop and smell the roses" style movie.

Not a movie, but the TV show "You" does this quite a bit, and quite well, at least early on.

AI Deepfakes will one day give us Pre-Evita Madonna in that role.

Aliens that are killed by water attempt invasion of planet 2/3 water.

Dumb movie.

Actually another Korean film, I Saw The Devil.

Its interesting because the stalking goes the other-way.

Antiheroes can be great. But I am so sick of them. I really am. And the whole "everybody is insufferable" trope. It was novel for a short time 20 years ago. Gritty realism felt so fresh and authentic. Now I can't bring myself to bother with most of them.

I feel like the original comment was just sarcasm but honestly who knows now a days lol

During the Bush administration we were having a public debate on torture as a means of interrogation and the public consensus was that this is never acceptable.

Meanwhile the #1 show on TV was 24 where everyone cheered Jack torturing people to get information.

It does raise certain moral quandaries. When the shit hits the fan then maybe you suddenly want those people who we might judge in normal circumstances.

I still fundamentally disagree with what Joel does in the finale but it makes for entertaining fiction and an interesting story to debate.

2 commandments:

1. Thou shalt always be honest and faithful to the provider of thy nookie

2. Thou shalt try really, really hard not to kill anyone… unless their invisible man in the sky is different from your invisible man in the sky

Loved the movie. I was surprised that there was no mention of H. P. Lovecraft in the credits.
