Serious question: what’s the point of killing a whistleblower AFTER they have blown the whistle, AFTER they have filed lawsuits?

I would give this all the stars, if it were possible.

Adolf Sitler strikes again.

Using the manual door release doesn’t necessarily damage anything either. The window rolls down a bit to clear the weather stripping when you use the electric door release. Tesla advises not to use the manual release regularly because it doesn’t lower the window and it can wear or damage that weather stripping.…

He’s the offspring of a Final Fantasy character and a Pokemon.

And the whole world is flat

I’ve got a saying, and it’s “Hollywood produces movie stars, Britain (and other places, like NZ/Aus) makes actors.”

catch me on the right day and ambulance was my favorite movie of 2022. bay’s sweetest movie by a mile.

Granted, this movie was a Michael Bay film, but my God did I love him as a lovable, roguish sociopath (Nightcrawler but with actual charisma) in Ambulance.

I’d submit the following remakes as at least pretty good (if not necessarily better than the originals, but you simply asked for “good remakes of movies since the 1970s”):

Other than New Vegas, which game’s protagonists weren’t vault dwellers? I don’t remember Fallout 2, but 1, 3, 4, and 76 were all vault dwellers.

This seems like a safe, non-controversial choice. I don’t hate it, but it’s more of a shrug. If you’re open to playing around with the mythos (i.e. what they did in No Time to Die), why not go in a totally new direction? I have posted a couple of times as being in favor of Dev Patel who, coincidentally, has an action…

“non-citizen national”

It was, essentially, a Regency costume drama in the beginning. Manners, mores, customs. Just with more titties and gore, and a fake monarchy/country. The intrigue was in the manoeuvring around those customs, maintaining (a semblance of) social cohesion (and political cohesion, which is pretty much social cohesion on a…

This guy has two average looking beards. Both have good shape but the face ruins it.

I think “justifiable” is carrying a weight it can’t handle, there, but that’s my point, it’s audience perception. It’s a written narrative—in either version—with intended arcs, and in Dany’s case, I felt fairly obvious, though clearly I’m in the minority. An audience’s perception of such is of course relevant, and I…

Yeah if the “ending” is through the lens of the entire season, I completely understand people’s qualms with it. All those complaints were valid. I just didn’t see the “heel turn” in The Bells and Jon’s betrayal as that surprising honestly, it was just a little sloppy. Like you said, they kinda made it clear that…

There was an analysis somewhere that pointed out that when they were following the books it was more like a societal drama. It was about established, rigid social structures and hierarchies, and how the characters moved within it. A story about, well, propriety.

If he didn’t have anything to say about America, and he’s seeing “the same stuff happening” in Britain, then I don’t understand why he set it in America. I think he could have better avoided people mapping their political views onto his story if he just made up a country, or used analogs of American cities and states…

As far as motivations for suicide go, one more could be a final Fuck You to Boeing. If during the depositions he can sense that his case is not going as well as hoped, coupled with your other points, I could see someone’s mind going to an effort to make Boeing look guilty of murder. That wouldn’t possibly be the major…
