  1. 1920’s lawyers acted that way and did so effectively.
  2. Then you can excuse yourself from further discussions about Scorsese. Do you fast forward thru Breaking Bad for just the good parts?
  3. Which one of you assholes is rolling around with this on your Miata?
  4. Like I said, plenty of people shared the same type on invalid criticism about Oppenheimer (it should have been). You want an FBI procedural? Make your own movie.
  5. Much like criticism of Oppenheimer of what wasn’t in the movie, sometimes people miss what was in the movie. Lily Gladstone rightfully was nominated for her powerful performance that spent a great deal of time covering her family’s story, why it happened, and how it happened. Scorsese did not make this into an FBI thriller. They intentionally avoided making this Mississippi Burning.
  6. Unless this is a parody, this is a pathetic opinion. Let’s break it down: 1) Start off with a huge leap off False Comp Mountain. Reminds me of the Otter Defense. 2) Describing the Crime Lab as a “department” “far downstream” is also a massive departure from norms. Perhaps this is our cue to know that you’re joking. Because when the average person watches a police procedural on tv, analyzing semen is like 1/4 of each show. 3) Putting violent offenders who shoot off semen into or onto unwilling and/or dead victims behind bars seems like a big deal and probably should be something a Chief should be on top of. Saw the news interviews of survivor groups dismay with Art and they expressed concerns of his seriousness with solving the crime lab issues and lodged an accusation that he retaliated against those critical of the crime lab issues. My conclusion is that you were either joking or you’re a “I like rape” twice kind of guy.
  7. I believe Trump had a decent IQ ,but is very ignorant of a great many things even going back to the 80’s. In the Roy Cohn doc and from his biographer, he was portrayed as an empty suit who bullshitted and bullied his way thru business, but had limited attention span and no interest in reading. His current intelligence is now deteriorated and he relies upon past phrases and word salads his way. He can turn a phrase still, and his instinct and savagery are in tact. That the GOP has successfully pushed two incurious men into office, gravytraining on their way there based on their last name, is more reason to relegate the GOP as a viable party in our system of democracy.
  8. 8th grade grammar?
  9. Is she the one en Espanol?
  10. She suffered mental illness, so that was kind of the point
  11. That seems like a long time ago. Was that part of the Teapot Dome scandal?
  12. Clive is started to resemble Bill Murray. Also, seemed to imply dude has a big swinging dick (pool scene, prostate exam)
  13. One misstep I saw was the line DeNiro had about people forgetting this incident. And the FBI guys said they’d always remember or something like that. The book concludes that the American criminal justice system was widely abused to strip people of their rights and property, especially against minorities. This story was not an isolated to Osage County.
  14. Can we get some ankle pics on Clara Bow?
  15. Maverick was kind of a hot dog for much of TG. I see it now and root for Iceman. Maverick gets people killed. Didnt learn his lesson. In fact, in TGII, certainly he was killed instantly when he commandeered aircraft and ejected going mach speed. The rest of the movie is a last second dream as he falls to earth.
  16. The original TG was a monumental film in 1986, far superior in quality and action than its contemporaries. Every part of production was exceptional. It was cutting edge and changed the industry. That youthful and fashionable actors were showcased cant be lost. Dialogue no longer resonates, but I do think there’s something to Tarantino’s commentary about the different layers of TG, as a story about coming to grips with homosexuality. “Don’t write a check with your mouth that your butt cant cash” and “flying by the seat of your pants.” TGII did not change the world like TG did, except remind audiences and executives that there’s more to cinema than greenscreens, universes, and capes.
  17. Aaron went to Berkley and must’ve hated everyone
  18. We have seen countless examples of armed police cowering in the face of a suicidal shooter with an AR-15. And, guess what? That would be most people’s response when being fired upon by a hand-cannon. As one Colorado teacher (who was able to prevent a school shooting) described, it was her combat training and experience that allowed her to properly function. The truth is that civilians have no business playing military unless they are properly trained for combat or “well-regulated” - to put it in 18th century terms.
  19. Mass shootings include: >Gang wars >Maybe some crimes of passion (could include collateral damage) >Planned terror attacks On this thread and in the media, the planned terror attacks take up a lot of space. They’re done by individuals varying from cold sober to short-term mental crisis to mentally unstable to completely insane. We can guess the partisan breakdown of terrorists, but I’m in the “who gives a shit” crowd on terrorist motivations.
  20. Are you AI?
  21. $39 or $49 for bolts? Hmmm…so many options. I’ll upgrade to extra first class and get double bolts for $125.
  22. So, it could have been worse?
