A much better and easier reason is that it’s a classic wrestling move called the Hurricanrana/Frankensteiner that looks fantastic at high velocity and with the fluidity you can achieve in modern cinematography. It’s pure showmanship.

Here’s the issue I take with the “unrealistic” approach of superheroes looking less like ScarJo and more like Rhonda Rousey or Gina Carano (both female MMA fighters, the latter of which was Angel Dust in Deadpool and the American Gladiator “Crush” in the revival of the show) - most guys are going to take a look at a…

So dumb, would never work, obviously it is ineffective and a woman would never do it.

Umm because it’s actually kind of difficult to topple someone with greater height/reach/mass/muscle than yourself? If they punch a guy in the chest they’re aiming a little above his center of gravity and he might get knocked back, but he’s probably not going to fall over.

And your ass was here within five minutes posting a bitchy comment about how much you don’t like to be here. Do you get paid to be here, or have you been banned from all of the public places near your mom’s home for shouting at people?

Of note: Florida legislature was set next week to start hearings on SB 140, the bill that would allow open carry at many buildings throughout the state. Including airports.

Why help him? He spent the campaign encouraging his supporters to harass and threaten journalists, so I can’t for the life of me figure out why some people are so willing to carry water for him like this.

If we all just offer up enough Thoughts and Prayers (tm), we’ll never have another mass shooting again.

Mainstream press has, almost without exception, mishandled everything about Donald Trump every step along the way. I pretty much don’t expect anything different now.
I look forward to eventually dying in a nuclear fire because he mistyped some tweet meant to be about McDonald’s lack of quality Happy Meal toys anymore.

I think all interviews with Trump are worthless. Just go straight to the source in Moscow and eliminate the middleman/patsy.

God willing, Biden is going around and super-gluing all the light switches and toilet seats on Jan 19th.

it feels like the filmmakers are trying to make a cool entertainment about vampires and werewolves by using none of the stuff that’s cool about vampires and werewolves.

More than half of the kingdom’s citizens are under 25

I woulda. The first Thor is still mad awesome. Second has its moments, even it it’s ultimately forgettable.

Burn Notice is one of the greatest shows that has ever existed.

Gotham is the TV watching equivalent of rubbernecking.

But but but... her emails!

A big part of the problem is that Americans inexplicably forgot the Bush years with astounding speed. Guess that’s a testament to Obama.

I’m still angry at people who didn’t give enough of a shit to vote, voted third party because they thought HRC was “the same” or worse than Trump, and those that voted Trump as a fun little protest vote, not thinking he’d actually be elected
