I like Saws II, III and IV. I am unusual in not liking the first one much, because I could not accept the twist, and I never understood what happened in the first and last few seconds. Something about a key than inadvertently went down the plug-hole? Also, although I like that just about every major character becomes…

The thing about making a bullet for Rosita is that he only made one bullet. I don’t know how you even do that. Grind just a pinch of gunpowder, melt just a thimble-full of lead? Practicalities aside, it was a very passive aggressive thing to do. If she’d had six bullets, maybe the second one would have killed Negan.

I don’t think Eugene realised what the wives were up to until after he made the pills. I’m not sure he’ll hold onto them. They are pretty incriminating if anyone does a search.

I think he was playing a role when he commandeered the supplies, too. Negan was using the carrot rather than the stick, and Eugene needed to show the carrot was working to make sure the stick never gets used. He has to act like he has been bought.

Neither rocket nor Dragon 2 will be untested. The first FH launch is this summer, over a year before this mission. The capsule will have gone to the ISS at least twice before, once with cargo only and once with a crew. If any of the prerequisites go badly or are delayed, so will this mission be.

Red Dragon has officially been postponed for 2 years. That was announced a few weeks ago. They have too much else to do.

I had watched that film a few months ago, and I agree about Pappagallo. It did seem to me that he played Max in several ways, and sent him to die without his knowledge.

I’m sorry it sounded like that, because I didn’t intend it to. I wrote, “That’s a valid interpretation”, because I felt you had made a good point. I disagree on other points. I do like to justify my positions with reasoning, and that can come across as trying to win.

They had the opportunity. He was under arrest in England for many months while he challenged the European extradition warrant in our courts. He was obliged to report to a police station once a day. If anyone wanted to nab him, they had plenty of opportunity. He only fled to the embassy when it looked like his court…

1) They are old enough to have sex. They aren’t children. I’m surprised you set the intelligence bar for teenagers so low. And regardless of whether it’s realistic, I’d rather watch people being smarter than me than being stupider than me.

Judith is under 1, but she is played by babies that are 2.

I found it hugely disappointing because it has an intriguing idea but does so little with it. For example, why not try taking a photo of it on your phone? If it shows up, you have evidence that it exists which you can show to your friends, and they have a way to detect it (ie, anyone who shows up on camera but not to…

Keeping it secret from the Saviors is living with the consequences. I’m not sure what more you want from him. He paid them a high fee to do a job and they didn’t do it. It’s not his problem that some of them died. He has no obligation to give them succour. They took on the risk: that’s what they were paid for. It was…

“the Saviors are a parasite” — I think they are more ambitious than that. They start by demanding tribute, but we know they sent an assassin to kill Gregory at Hilltop. I think they were moving to integrate Hilltop more closely into their system. They would install their own leader, or at least have a leader they…

Doesn’t violating the Constitution and oath of office count as a high crime? He’s been in violation of the emoluments clause since the moment he was sworn in.

The UK version is mainly so they can sell UK adverts. I never bother with it.

You can kill the boss then save the VIPs, or you can save the VIPs then kill the boss. I don’t think either path is intrinsically better than the other.

Prometheus looks pretty, but that characters are so stupid, and things like that woman having major surgery and just walking around afterwards ruin it for me. A3, even in the theatrical release, was better, especially the first half. Ripley exploring the prison, getting laid, the autopsy of Newt, the juxtaposition of…

From your own link, “She had awoken to find him having sex with her, she said, but when she asked whether he was wearing a condom he said no.” So he started having sex with her while she was asleep, and he wasn’t wearing a condom, and he knew she wouldn’t consent to sex without one. Which is exactly what I wrote.
