You do kinda think there’s a certain limit, as goofy the movie is, for the cartoon stuff, but then Charlton Heston rocks up as their boss and he’s got a goddamn eyepatch, and a healthy apetite for the scenery.

so many jokes are just straight up cartoon logic, too. obviously there’s the uzi falling down the stairs bit, but for my money when the bird lands on a truck and then it falls and explodes? that’s the good stuff. that’s literally looney tunes.

Regarding the xenophobia, I think it’s reasonable to point out the characterization of these particular Muslims was based upon their fanaticism / extremism and not meant to be reflective of the region as a whole. I didn’t come away from, for instance, Patriot Games thinking all Irish are IRA assassins.

Yeah but the joke is consistently on Harry. He’s the one who is suspicious and paranoid. He’s the one who gradually realizes that his neglect of Helen is what might be driving her to cheat. He’s the one who’s surprised both at her outburst in the interrogation room and when her dancing in the hotel room evolves as she…

Sweet, bareback!

I don’t use them for myself, seeing that I’m a woman.

One person is dead because those rules weren't followed correctly. 

Condom is probably a bad comparison since the time from wrapper to use can usually be measured in microseconds.

I’ve been very vocal about the safety concerns on set. I think the first AD got off lightly, and the UPM’s decision to merge the armorer and prop assistant jobs IMO was negligent. Baldwin may be civilly liable as a producer, but as I’ve already made clear, I do not believe that his actions were criminally negligent.

Yup- a condom breaking is generally considered an accident. It’s not rape by deception because you were trusting in the product to do what it’s supposed to

Also, I’m not sure condoms are “supposed to be bulletproof.” Obviously, Breadnmaters does not mean that they’re literally bulletproof. But does anyone think condoms never fail?

I like the preemptive assertion that the analogy is fair, which seems to give away that it is not.  

What does this analogy even mean? Are you under the impression that people that use a condom and don’t inspect it for microscopic tears first get charged with a crime if they end up getting someone pregnant or giving them an STD?

Per union rules I’m not allowed to inspect my own condoms, and my wife and I always wait for the explicit go ahead from our condom supplier before engaging in each sex act.

Gracious of you to yourself to believe your own comparison is fair.

Used many condoms in my lifetime and I never “inspected” them.  Weird analogy. 

The thing is, most people probably don’t even do a cursory check on their condoms before using them, and checking them in a more than cursory manner might actually lower their effectiveness. Condoms have a 98% quoted efficacy rate, and I’d wager less than 10% of users do anything more than check the expiration date,…

If I bring my car to my mechanic to get my brakes fixed and then I immediately run someone over because my brakes decidedly don’t work when I’m pulling out of the lot, am I supposed to stand trial for not checking over the work of the person I paid because they had the experience and qualifications for that thing?

I will remember your invaluable legal advice next time I shoot a gun at a condom.
