I think the big question is, what character would Bruce Wayne play in a D&D campaign? Picture the Justice League getting together for game night.
Hitchhike. You’ll meet the most interesting people and see the most interesting basements and car trunks.
Can it get worse than the recent remake that turned Jason into a pot farmer protecting his crop?
I think they did grounded pretty well when they had a half naked woman lure him into a clearing where he was surrounded by heavily armed SWAT team with spot lights who shot him 10,000 times and then hit him with a mortar shell. Best opening to what quickly turned into the worst film in the series.
Leatherface is Ed Gein based. Jason is the campfire story come to life.
I was thinking a little more like Brave & the Bold Batman, but with the comic’s harder edge.
I wonder if they’ll make Bruce into Batman again, but it will be a more level and less brooding Batman. A Batman who has friends over to watch football, laughs at jokes and occasionally quips at villains.
In the old days, the victim’s family would step in and kill him and then bury him in a field somewhere. Case closed. (If anyone did anything, because a wife was basically property.....)
Now try to find a case where that argument has ever worked. Two NYPD locked themselves in a conductors booth on a subway car while a man stabbed another man to death in front of them. They faced NO legal punishment for it.
The Supreme Court has ruled on multiple occasions that the police have no legal duty to protect you from harm. They can not be held legally accountable because you were the victim of a crime. Ultimately, the only one responsible for your safety is you.
She’s in prison because shooting someone in their sleep is ALWAYS murder. Lethal force is only legally justified when someone presents an IMMEDIATE threat to life. If their asleep, you have the option to walk away. She could have left while he was asleep and checked into a battered woman’s shelter.
But that is also on the assumption that rehabilitation is not possible. Our current system does not provide any means for rehabilitation. What about a society that has figured it out? Real change. Maybe it takes a hundred years to rehabilitate someone, but that’s OK if they live to 1,000. Then they spend another 500…
It’s not technological, its biological. We’re designed to have limited lifespan so we can get out of the way of our offspring and stop using resources. It potentially CAN be fixed, the cellular damage repaired. I suspect we’re less than 100 years away from it being possible. But until we can leave this planet and…
Even if you could always live your best possible life, you could never do everything there is to do or visit every place there is worth seeing in one life time. Practical immortality would mean you could spend a 50 year career as an engineer and then decide to go back to school and spend the next 50 years as a doctor…
Likely the treatment would have to be given as children when cell growth is very different from what it becomes as adults. By the time someone is old enough to commit a crime and go to prison for it, they will likely already have a lifespan of hundreds of years.
Our knowledge of medicine right now is incredible. Our ability to get to everyone is severely lacking.
People died at 50 or less due to poor health or non-existant health care, rampant disease, poor nutrition and a host of other things. But there were the rare people who lived into their 80’s even 400 years ago.
Longeveity will require a fundamental change to our phsyiology, not just a cure to all diseases. Our cells have a built in fuse, that as they divide over and over again, the copies become imperfect and degraded. We call it aging. There is an absolute limit to how many times our adult cells can replicate before the…
The Cinema Sins on this one is hilarious. It’s the Cloverfield of Godzilla movies.
