Peollenalways bring up slasher films as being disrupted by cellphones but honestly a cellphone isn't particularly helpful when someone is trying to stab you.

The saddest part is that this type of thing is just a continuous path of US behavior. This isn't atypical or out of character for any period from 1492 to the present.

The current government investment in policing around MMIW isn't going to stop or even slow MMIW, but it will absolutely result in the killing of more indigenous folks in border towns. Meanwhile fossil fuel companies are siphoning money into local police forces to pay them to attack and arrest peaceful Line 3 water protectors who are simply asking for the US to honor their treaties.

No major news networks even show up to cover these things after a brief interest in the Dakota access pipeline bullshit fizzled out.

I don’t know if the rules were different 60 years ago and I’m not a legal expert but isn’t the whole idea of having a jury of your peers (as opposed to professional jurors) to consider everything they heard in the trial and question it if in their own judgement they think something was incomplete or wrong? I do know that today the judge tells jurors not to do their own research so going out on the street and finding the same knife would probably result in a mistrial.

The Brady bunch movies from the 90s were both great. Like, The Addams Family and Brady bunch movie would make a great double feature.
Both being about quirky families, out of place in society unbeknownst to them.

This is one of my favorite scenes in any movie. The conversation has very serious repercussions implications , is filled with tension, and simultaneously maintains levity.

Bettany consistently steals scenes in a movie with a very impressive cast.

Edit: a word
