“The Devil’s Advocate is also overlong and obvious, directed with a characteristic lack of subtlety by Taylor Hackford”

I loved the over-the-topness of Pacino’s performance in this movie. It works very well because John Milton-as-devil and John Milton-as-filthy rich lawyer knows that he’ll never face consequences. As long as he maintains enough superficial charming enough to draw in his targets, he can do anything he wants. Almost every…

Lol he blames Frontier, but also the whiney players who didn't fulfill their duties by beta testing enough. The gaming culture is bizarre.

Did *you* read what you said? Because if you fully blame frontier you must think the playerbase is part of Frontier, considering how you went off on them in the first sentence, and most of the comment itself.

First of all, the test was limited. Second, it shouldn’t be the players’ responsibility to make sure the game is functional. If you had thought about it for 5 seconds before you just blamed them for the game’s issues you probably would have realized how stupid that take is.

I mean, Imperials aren’t the “white” race in TES. They’re essentially Italians, who until the 20th century were considered a “lesser” race by whites. Bretons likewise are aligned with Celts, including the Welsh/Irish and Scottish (and er presuably IRL Bretons), who were until some way into the 20th century seen as…

*AMEN*

It’s clear Marvel wanted a big name actor, and it wouldn’t make sense to get a no-name (in America) from India rather than a no-name from Nepal; you’re still getting the ethnicity wrong AND not putting a name on the poster that people recognize. Ethnic political divisions in the area are actually really complicated,…

This is a case where ethnicity really really matters in representation. The ethnic groups in Nepal do not consider themselves Indian and vice versa. Also, Indian Bollywood stars are trained in a certain type of dramatic acting that doesn’t translate well to American movies. They over-emote intentionally, as they…

Well, they set that part of the film in Nepal.  They could have cast a Nepalese actor, but they also clearly wanted someone famous and how many famous Nepalese actors are there?  My guess is zero (now watch someone come in here and be like “actually, Harrison Ford is originally from Nepal” or something).

You’re misrepresenting the studies. Either intentionally or by lying about having read them. They do not generally support no-chase policies. They support balanced policies and recognize that it’s a complex system with great opacity. You are passionately dishonest about it though. So there’s that.

Right. Just capture them without chasing them. And when you pick them up they tell you that you are mistaken, and they weren’t there.

exactly.  you got a helicopter on them!  even if it was a newschopper and not police, let the news follow them and reimburse them for time & gas or whatever.  

She’s lucky she didn’t get shot herself, which is another reason for cops not to be going all Mad Max; the last thing you want is dazed and injured bystanders wandering all over the place and complicating the scene.

The details make this even less justified, not more.

I’ve heard various reasons why police chase vehicles for non-violent offenses, but the most reasonable one I heard was “because if we didn’t, everybody would run.”

Can’t outrun a radio. Hang back but keep them in sight, don’t put the pressure on them, and have another team roll out a stop strip further along the road. And if it gets dangerous, let them go. Criminals are dumb, you’ll get them for something else later. Good chance there are witnesses, surveillance video, and maybe…

0-60 in 7. Something seconds is still considered ‘quick’ by the majority of buyers, especially in Europe. The average car here has a 1.5 diesel with 150 hp and 0-60 in 9-10 seconds. In addition most people don't care about acceleration that much if at all

Somehow Jason failed to mention that the AWD, 300 hp version comes out later this year. And RWD is not “wasted” on a 7 second car. RWD is much more dynamic and not that long ago 7 seconds to 60 was considered pretty quick.

I wonder how this will compare to the Chevy EUV since it’s not yet out. I think the Chevy is faster, cheaper and also has no frunk but I’m weird that way; I don’t care about that, never did. If someone can’t fit whatever it is they are buying from Walmart in the back of an SUV; they need to seek professional help.…
