Yeah, this is unfortunate but a clear case of FAFO. Do I think she was deliberately trying to harm the officer? No. However, she was reportedly purposefully blocking traffic and inhibiting law enforcement from doing their job. The police told her to move, she didn't move, the police told her to get out of the car, she didn't obey their commands. Then when she got surrounded by them, she got scared and tried to drive off. However, she floored it a little too hard, her tires couldn't get traction due to the frozen pavement, and she ended up speeding toward the cop in front of her. He made a split second decision and shot her.

It sucks because she's left behind a husband and children. If she had just gotten out of the car she'd still be alive.

And only 3 days from “If Metchie and Williams hadn’t gotten hurt…” 4th anniversary!

Metchie and Williams at least had legitimate injuries and didn't make a "business decision" like Colt did.

The 2010 Citi BCS National Championship Game featured the #1 Alabama Crimson Tide (led by Heisman Trophy winner Mark Ingram II) and the #2 Texas Longhorns (led by Heisman Trophy finalist Colt McCoy). On the fifth play from scrimmage after a botched fake punt, McCoy was knocked out of the game by Alabama DT Marcell Dareus. True freshman Garrett Gilbert was thrown into the fire and led the Longhorns to a 6-0 lead before Alabama went on a 24-0 run to end the half, en route to a 37-21 victory over Texas.

Alabama RB Mark Ingram II and Alabama DT Marcell Dareus were named the game's most valuable players. This was the first of Saban's six national championships with the Crimson Tide.

Saying it’s not doesn’t change the fact that it still is one but okay.

The data doesn't back your claim up unless you want to say he had one of the Top 200 greatest seasons of all-time. In that case I will agree with you.

Henry Cavil is just sitting right there and they would print money. It makes too much sense.

Henry Cavill is slightly too old for the part. They are wanting a younger Bond who can go the distance with a multi-film commitment. Turner is 35, Cavill is 42.

Also it has been tradition for the producers of Bond to select an out-of-left-field actor for the role. Sean Connery was unknown, George Lazenby was a used car salesman turned model, Timothy Dalton was not the first choice of producers or fans, and Daniel Craig seemingly came out of nowhere. Only Roger Moore and Pierce Brosnan were "obvious" choices to fans and producers alike.

This is the argument of Helen Andrews. She postulates in the below interview that wokeness isn’t some neo-Marxist revolution, but the consequence of many traditionally male-dominated professions becoming female-dominated in a very short period of time.

Denis has said he's not doing anything with bond until he's done with Dune. I don't buy this

They wrapped filming in November. The timing makes sense.

Not everyone cares solely about the story. These movies are cinematic events. Look at every movie that has grossed over a billion dollars. Do you see any Best Screenplay winners? Just ignore LOTR: ROTK lol. Some people just want popcorn movies and that's what these are.

If you look at the highest grossing films of all-time when adjusted for inflation, four of the Top 10 were either nominated or won for screenplay.

Avatar 3 had a higher domestic opening weekend.

Not when you take inflation into account. Avatar: Fire and Ash made $89 million in its opening weekend compared to Avatar's $77 million. It's true. However, the latter would be $116 million had it opened in 2025 vis 2009.
