courage under fire really does not hold up. I have no idea how it was received at the time, but watching it after the afghan war or iraq 2 had already been going for awhile certain takes whatever shine it had off

i had the neices of the person i bought my house from show up once wanting to see what we’d done with the place, so i showed them. they were very complimentary, but i think they might have had a couple

the revolutions of 1848 remain the most widespread revolutionary wave in the recorded history of the european continent. the communist manifesto was hitting shelves and the public consciousness while people were building barricades in front of the very coffee shops they’d have been reading it in. that’s a wee bit more…

‘Seats on the supersonic jet were both cramped and expensive. In the early 2000s, a ticket from New York to Heathrow cost around $7,000, with a round trip ticket costing $10,000'

the bread and butter of the commercial airline business is business people. that was even more true for the concorde- the people using that…

well in practical terms he wrote a relatively accessible economic history predicting that a clash between capital and labor was inevitable right before a significant portion of the european continent went through a massive clash between capital and labor.

‘No worries, unlike George Lucas, Spielberg will serve as a producer and is still involved in various elements of the film’

and this is supposed to be a good thing after 4? spielburg had way, way more to do with the overall ‘meh’ of that film than lucas did. within the limitations of keeping harrison ford and not…

They checked with china but were told no.

it was bad enough when the serial grifter warren’s were being made out to be the hero’s of the prior movies, when it was just in the service of real estate fraud and selling potboilers.

but this is a situation where they exploited the murder of an innocent man. a man who’s family is still alive to have their faces…

We still have a minor water based border dispute with canada due to the differing methods we use to calculate where water boundaries go, although it’s small enough it ought to be meaningless.

i spotted two from the same guy for different publications on one i looked at the other day. both perfect and both being counted. i don’t know if they’ve gotten lazy or just don’t know how to deal with the fractured landscape of film reviews these days, but they don’t seem to care

what i like about this is that not only are these jokes very funny and original, but the fellowship of the ring movies are also just very fresh and relevent. its really the whole package

hopefully she can deliver the dialogue to the same level as ruby rose did

star citizen is the ryugyong hotel of video games

lizard person. not like ‘queen of england’ level of lizard person but more of a ‘somewhat frustrated accountant’ level of lizard person. you know, week’s vacation on the coast, decent flat, occasionally eat a conspiracy theory podcaster that gets too close to the truth, but you sometimes wonder if maybe you should…

the DRPK would kidnap a much higher caliber actor than pratt to star if you set it in pyongyang though

at least it gives you the option to find out who the lizard people are in the comments, when they claim to not understand why someone might have affection for a puppy while also being able to enjoy a hamburger

really, if you were just dropping rando’s in their street clothes with random weapons, why wouldn’t you start by going to north korea? they have by far the largest number of military personel on the planet (somewhere in the neighborhood of 7 million or 50 per 1k citizens) and they already train to fight an assymetrical…

I feel like john and cruella might have some insurmountable philosophical differences that would preclude them from coexisting.

also the sheer hubris of these people

‘yes, i went on twitter and told the whole world i think an entire group of people are inherintly inferior to me simply because of a superficial physical difference in a manner that did not seem like a joke, but i now claim was one (despite being unable to articulate what was…

the vast, vast majority of chinese people have never seen the other side, since the free side of the internet requires VPN connections, which are illegal (and while not impossible to get, are not something the average user is going to risk seeking out.)

of those who have seen it, my interaction is that the response is…
