when in hell did I ever say it was ok???? They're scum but threads like these always brings out the racists was the only point I was making.
But your point wasn’t about racists. It was about racists not giving a shite about the backstory. So it seemed like you were acting as if the backstory mattered much or changed the horribleness of people being murdered in front of their kids. Maybe I misread.

The racists here don't give the first shite about the back story.
What the frick backstory do you think makes it okay for these pieces of shite to execute people in front of screaming toddlers? I’m not familiar with your posts generally, but I know you have a reputation of being an idiot around here. And with responses like this I can understand why.
And please don’t ignore this question. I want to know what backstory you think makes any of this okay.

I do expect one main character to die though so it can be a talking point for the show.
IMO Steve will sacrifice himself to either save Nancy or Dustin. Jonathan is a maybe. But I think it's either him or Steve, and Steve kinda makes more sense.
I'm not sure how Hopper survives, and I hope he doesn't. Not because I don't like him, just more because it would seem fitting that he goes out a hero of sorts.
I do think Will dies as well. And good riddance as far as I'm concerned. But I suspect he will somehow die protecting or saving Mike or Joyce (maybe Jonathan, but I doubt it).
Outside shot Eleven dies, but I doubt it since she and Mike were sort of the main storyline relationship-wise from the outset of the show.
Nancy won't die because she's special ops now. I don't think Mike or Lucas will die. Dustin is a maybe, but I don't see them killing him off since he's such a crowd favorite. No way they kill Holly. I think Max is also safe since they easily could have (and should have) killed her last season. I think Robin is also safe for multiple reasons (including NF's politics). I also think Joyce is safe as well; not only has she been front and center because of Will, but she's also the love interest of Hopper and if he dies she is safe IMO.
I think that's all of the "main"-ish characters and my thoughts. But it better be at least some (i.e. more than one) of them, or this show will drop in quality big time for me. You can't keep having all of these "life or death" scenarios for main characters where there is literally just no death. it cheapens it.

Holy shite, I am watching the video and damn near having a nervous breakdown in my office. Shot in fricking cold blood with the toddlers screaming. shite like this normally doesn't get to me too bad, but my hands are fricking shaking. Jesus.
ETA: And it makes sense that it could be drug related. Them asking over and over where the money was and that they knew there was more money somewhere seemed oddly specific to me when I watched it. But that all being said, that video will stick with me for a while I think, even if just for the kids alone.

Your assessment of the Neal/Edie romance being important for the plot is spot on except for one important detail. It wasn’t the romance that undid him, it was the lust for revenge against Waingro (sp?). Him and Edie are free and clear if he just keeps driving.
Yeah, this. The romance angle had nothing to do with it really, except to show that he was willing to walk away from even her because the heat was around the corner. And in the ultimate moment he was able to choose his principles and turn his back on her. That was the entire point to that IIRC.
His achilles heel in the end was the revenge on Waingro. That's what did him in.
I absolutely love Heat. But I will agree with OP that it is definitely too long. I mean, it's an almost 3 hour movie (2:50) that could have EASILY been just over 2+. They could've cut 30-40 minutes from it without skipping a beat. If I am remembering the pacing correctly, there's a solid hour+ of movie left AFTER the bank heist scene. That's too much IMO. Even though it's still a good movie after that, it doesn't mean it doesn't drag out for too long.
But the bank heist scene remains to this day the absolute best thing to watch in surround sound for me. Just incredibly done all around. That shite gets me hyped the frick up, and Val Kilmer goes bananas. :lol:

Does he look like that for some role he's currently in? Or is he just gay now?

The only two I'd be disappointed seeing die, but feel its most likely to occur are Steve and Hopper.. Take any of the others, well maybe not Murray.
I don't care who dies, as long as some of the main characters do. One of my biggest gripes about the show is that none of the main characters are never in mortal danger that pays off. Literally everyone is saved at the last minute by someone or something. Which is fine for the most part, but once you realize there are no real stakes for the characters, it removes me from things a bit because I know there's no chance someone bites it.
I mean, even having one of Mike's parents die this first part of the season could have driven home how serious some of this shite is. And they were straight up attacked by a demigorgan. But nah, both are fine. Out side of what, Bob, Billy, and Eddie...nobody important has died...and neither of them were really main characters anyway and died within the same season they were introduced, right? Maybe Billy bled into two seasons?
Will
Mike
Dustin
Lucas
Steve
Nancy
Jonathan
Hopper
Eleven
Joyce
Max
Murray (arguably not a main character)
not a single one of them has remotely touched death, despite being in life-threatening situations almost constantly. After a while, that becomes tiresome and boring for me.
It's one thing shows like GoT did so well. Anybody could go at any minute, no matter how important the character was. Makes for great TV.
I did a small John Candy one a couple months ago after watching the I Like Me doc.
Also did a Hitchcock one years ago where I bought up like 15-20 of his movies. I think I've watched about 10 or so since then. Some are just okay. Some are excellent. But I've enjoyed them all.

Did he actually say "I want her name...she hit me!" at one point?

I am pumped about this one.

Looks awesome.
I'm unfamiliar with the Odyssey...how much of this will be similar to the plot of, say, Troy, or will it be a lot more expanded than that?

The true answer is T2, but historically it will likely be Titanic. And although Titanic isn't really my jam, it's still hard to argue against that one.
re: Searching for possibly obscure Movie Recommendations

My suggestion every time this comes up:
Cadence (1990)
Charlie Sheen
Martin Sheen
Larry Fishburne (what he went by then)
Charlie Sheen is a white prisoner in a military prison in an all black barracks. Martin Sheen is the warden.
It’s fricking EXCELLENT.

In all honesty, good for him. He’s generating money and doing productive things for society. If he’s meeting his incentive goals to earn (key word) his checks, then I don’t see how anybody could have an issue with that (aside from the “that person is an idiot” reasons).

Sure. But how much evidence do you need to see before you realize this dude has a giant knife and is aggressive towards you?

The five injured weren’t from the attacker but from non-contact running injuries.
Is that true? Because it damn sure looked like he stabbed that first dude square in the midsection. And slashed at someone else’s neck.
I am absolutely amazed that literally every single person just stood there and watched this dude act weird, throw smoke bombs, whip out a foot long knife, and start aggressively advancing toward people…..and did nothing, not even move out of the way. Incredible.
I know the bystander effect is a real thing and most people just assume nothing bad is happening. But Jesus. Get the frick out of dodge when you see that happening and get to safety (or even relative safety).
