Work in tech, can confirm. The focus is no longer on product development; it’s on financial manipulations that can boost stock value for shareholders.

Politics is, for them, quite literally a luxury.

Are you sure you’re responding to the right comment? I never said anything about “erasing” Israel. No sane person is under the illusion that Israel is going to disappear. “Does Israel have a right to exist/Does Israel have a right to defend itself” is a disingenuous red herring to toss into any conversation when…

I loved S1 but

Oh the poor Israelis what are they supposed to do, not kill kids???

No one wants dead kids? No one?

Zionists would rather talk about anything other than the war crimes being committed and the +30K civilians that have been murdered in the name of colonialism. So they will try to change the subject as quickly as possible. 

I’m Palestinian, you dumb motherfucker. I’m pissed about all the shit you listed, but I think I’m allowed to specifically be upset about ethnic cleansing and war crimes being committed against my people.

How many Palestinian children would you like to see killed to punish Hamas? Wha’s the number? 20,000? 30,000?

I think The Slap may force Smith into the trajectory that Cruise ultimately took up when, despite numerous nominations, he figured just couldn’t win an Oscar and decided to give up on acting and focus on being a movie star.

Cruise is a fucking nutjob on so many levels but I would never bet against his show-business acumen, particularly with regards to how he’s managed the MI franchise.

I agree there’s a difference between 10 seconds and 2 minutes but I’d also argue that 10 seconds is a really long time to be “tricked” into thinking you’re about to die. Count out 10 Mississippi and imagine that’s the time passing while you’re in a helicopter hurdling towards central London while the pilot repeats “oh…

I count myself a fan of Cruise’s professional work, especially with how he architected his career in a very strategic and calculated way.

Haha yes that’s another perfect example of something that seemed “normal” in my childhood in the 80s and somewhere around Free Willy became incredibly depressing (and by Blackfish, lethally undeniable).

Honestly don’t think order or overall narrative matters for this film series. The post-apocalyptic setting is simply part of the formula used to set up “the game”. The game itself is Mario Mad Max Furiosa getting from point A to point B, while avoiding/overcoming various leather-clad psychos. Sometimes there are…

Agree — I’m in my early 40s and been having trouble explaining to my younger friends 10-20 years my junior just how, well, “big” Super Size Me was when it came out and what kind of impact it had. No one was ever under the impression that fast food was healthy, but the degree to which it was unhealthy, and how systemic…

Are there some pre-existing Rowland/diva stories floating around out there? Genuinely asking, I truly don’t know much about her. Odd to see sources say “yea the security/ushers were being pretty aggressive”, see video of security/ushers being pretty aggressive, and read reactions from people saying “Rowland was…

Gibson’s post-scandal career is something 99.99999% of people working in the entertainment industry would sell their soul for.

Duel of the fates was awesome... and that’s about the only 5 minutes of the prequels I truly enjoyed.

He’s been found not guilty and hasn’t spent a second in jail as far as I can tell.
