If you haven't looked up Stadiem IMDB yet, do so. Can't be many less qualified people to write about the ins-and-outs of Hollywood, the man has 5 writing credits over an 8 year period. That's it.

If you have to say something along those lines, at least you can go the classic route and say 'twixt Scylla and Charybdis. Sure it's a cliché, but it's a lot classier.

I'm a little saddened by the poor reviews because I found Jai Courtney's performances in Spartacus pretty decent. Not in a gay way.

Jane March isn't forgotten, she just changed her name to Jessica Paré.

A little off-topic, but with the announcement of the stepping down of Ratzinger, a group of like-minded deviants and I have been having a little fun with sexual innuendo/smut using Catholic references:
-I want to annoint you with my communion
-Holy see? More like holy c-word
-Rapal infallability
-Back that Mass up
-Suck on…

She reminds me a lot of a midget version of my ex. Yes, cute. Also, ephebophilia is not paedophilia.

I feel strange thinking about the look on his kids' faces when they watch the part where he's pounding that girl on the top bunk while Rusty's trying to sleep on the lower bunk. That's some animal shit right there.

I think I may have seen Urban Menace, one of those three Albert Pyun movies. That shit is popular here in Africa. Possibly the most non-sensical crap I've ever had the distinct displeasure of sitting through.

Glad to see love for the Pledge. Only saw it once, a few years back, late night BBC, I was amazed.

Really? I thought quite the opposite for the most part. The ass-kicking in the train I thought was great and easy to follow.

I actually kinda really enjoyed *some* of this movie. And I thought Statham pulled off a decent amount of acting in the scene where he gets taunted following his wife's death.

I probably won't be able to watch this until June or so. Just wanted to chime in and say Ms. Chastain is awfully purdy.

Thread-resurrector.
You know, I love Dennis Haysbert (a big fan of the Unit), but I'm not always equally convinced he's a good actor.

So how does this compare to Addio zio Tom? (Which was exploitation but also a great movie.)

Anecdotal stuff on the topic of desensitisation:
I have no medical background other than first aid knowledge, but in the 3 years that I've lived in this country, I've had to treat and evacuate 2 (shot)gun shot wounds, a stabbing, open fractures, a baby born with an imperforate anus and so on.
I've physically carried:…

On your last paragraph: correlation does not equal causation. Although hard data are difficult to come by, Great Britain is generally accepted to be the country with the most CCTV security cams per capita. While the populace may be freer to say and do certain things, there's less freedom in other ways.

I think many people seem to want to forget that we are a species which, while definitely capable of acts of altruism, nurturing and all that happy shit, also commonly commits acts of violence against perceived threats to our construct of community. We have always done so and we always will.
