Nah, it wasn’t. Notfor me anyway. And that ain’tgroupthink, it is my own personal opinion. I love stories about Ancient Egypt and mummies, so I was ready to love this movie, warts and all. But it’s just not good - it’s a generic subpar action-flick with no coherent throughline. There were a few good ideas in there,

The budget for The Shape of Water was 19.5 million. The new Mummy’s budget was listed as 125-95 million. Studios need to learn that effective horror and monster films don’t need a big budget but a real creative vision.

I think that’s a pretty weak assessment on your part.

I mean, I totally get it.

Superhero movies are beginning to fall into the trap that comic books fall into- SO MANY STORIES and SO MANY CHARACTERS.

Star wars made it through the initial trilogy with what, maybe 5 characters that moved the plot along per movie? Now imagine if before we got to “A new hope” We had to sit

Can’t it also demonstrate that the person has sound judgement in that they knew when to break the oath? I sure wouldn’t want someone in my company who would keep an oath to a superior when doing so breaks federal law. It’s the same reason I wouldn’t trust a priest who keeps pedophiles secret, or cops that cover for

They would’ve buried Manning had she gone to a JAG first. Possibly quite literally, given how mercilessly Obama attacked whistleblowers & so-called violators of the Espionage Act.

You take an oath to uphold the Constitution, defend it against all enemies, bear faith and allegiance to it, and obey the chain of command.

If your “oath” compels you to commit war crimes, you’re a war criminal. Why should anyone trust you not to be anything else?

The Wermacht took an oath too... yet we still punished them for doing alot worse “under direction from leadership”. If the army is to be filled with robots, well then build them.

A great many that take that oath do so without a really solid idea of what it means because most ofthem are essentially just kids with no life experience and their understanding of the world is limited to a shaky scaffolding built on the, often misinformed, guidance of ignorant adults. Having taking it myself in good

“The fact that a person acted pursuant to order of his Government or of a superior does not relieve him from responsibility under international law, provided a moral choice was in fact possible to him.”

But really, fuck the jingoists. Far-right and center-right, fuck them and what they think.

jesus christ, get fucked with this ‘company man’ bullshit.

So she will be trying to defeat Democrat Ben Cardin. As Jezebel notes:

Or in other words: “The system is terrible but nobody has any right to try to do anything against it.”

Not his point at all, he’s saying in the movie business minor actors can get fired for something as innocent as weed but Johnny Depp gets away with beating his wife because he’s a star, just like in the NFL bench guys get cut for smoking weed but star players get away with beating their wives.

Okay but WHAT is the deal with all these people completely misunderstanding what he said? Like... people on the internet seem to be forgetting how to read.

Wow, you totally missed the point.

No it’s not true. Antifa is not an organization as such. Antifa has people involved that are democratic socialists, communists and yes, anarchist.
