"You want to see missiles, yes? Is niiiiiice."

Jones clearly thought he was playing the Joker in that movie. I think everyone on the set was too afraid of him to correct him.

In the movies, all the best evil scientists are European. You know the guy is secretly planning to exterminate entire continents and replace the people there with a master race when you hear an accent from central Europe. East Asian scientists are usually technically proficient, but are rarely shown as creative…

And was also some kind of world-champion in karate, worked as Grace Jones's bodyguard in the 1980s, and dated her for a while. This guy should just be making movies about his own damn life, not direct-to-video cheap-ass action schlock.

I knew a woman in college who had coarse, curly hair and facial features one associates with Africans, but her skin was as white as mine because she had albinism. She wasn't any less black than…

Yes, to say that intentions don't matter at all is nonsense. Context and the person's intentions give an action meaning every bit as important as the actual effect. Anyone with a sibling knows that striking him or her on purpose, with the intent of hurting them, is morally and "legally" worse than if you hit them by…
