I’m just left wondering what the point was. I’ve been pretty agnostic about the war. Fine with going to war and fine with not. But another half measure war seems kind of pointless. What changed here?
It’s so entertaining. June 3 is soon! Inject it in my veins!

As a whole it wasn’t terrible but the main villain was. Way over the top and that’s saying something in a movie like this.

How dare he have principles and believe in the rule of law. Unbelievable lmao


Principles? How much did Massie care about Epstein from 2020-2024. He called Trump's administration the Epstein administration up until he realized his plight a few weeks ago, and has tried to cuddle back up with Trump to secure the win. He is such a principled conservative that the ladies of the view and most leftists love and are rooting for him for how much he serves their purposes. Rule of law? How about when he exposed 4 innocent men listed in the Epstein case as nefarious, who were found to be innocent, and then never retracted or apologized. Get out of here with that bull crap like I haven't been watching him the last year.

Kirk was a big fan of Massie, if Charlie's not killed how is this shaking out? Would Trump have attacked Charlie for supporting Massie?


I was a big fan of Massie back then too. I loved his stalwart small government conservatism. But in the interim, I feel like he has demonstrated himself to be a grandstanding, disingenuous ahole. I think Kirk probably would have ended up there, too.

I was obsessed with it back in the day. There are better shows, but I don't know if I have ever had more fun watching a show than 24.

Is there a a movie I will want to see in theaters? Or just waiting to hear back a few months for streaming?


You definitely want to see it in a theater, preferably IMAX. But you missed the boat on that. It's already streaming.
quote:


I'll confidently state this about Trump; he is determined to eek out every last drop of opportunity to avoid killing people, but when push comes to shove, he is bold and decisive.


This is not said enough. As much of a madman as they paint Trump, I truly believe he puts more value on human life than any president in my lifetime. The largest contributing metric to his decision-making always seems to be the avoidance of the loss of civilian life.

I thought the mini-series followed the book fairly well. But of course, it had to leave out a lot of succinct details.


The dialogue is almost exact to the book. The only thing they leave out is the backstories that are sometimes given by the narrator.

The only other one I would even put in a discussion next to it is Band of Brothers, but I still give the edge to LD. I have watched LD more than anything out there. Started watching it in high school and have watched it at least once a year ever since.

Not the same, but the switch from XXL to snack-size Reacher in the movies worked, at least for me.


I can see it. Rickman is just so damn intimidating in size; I just don't see anyone messing with him as people do in the stories. But I guess a neighbor recently messed with him in real life, so maybe people are dumber than I thought.

I didn't realize this was the same author of the Martian. I definitely enjoyed the book better than the movie for that one.


Yeah, I liked the Martian movie, but it failed to truly capture the book. I felt like they cut some important stuff. I felt like PHM did a better job of trimming it down to the basic essence of the story.
Maybe it's because I am getting older, but in some ways she looks better now than she ever has.
It's pretty simple. The Bible puts forth the idea that humanity is the crowning jewel of God's creation. The earth exists for people. He said be fruitful and multiply. But those who hate God reject that idea and believe humans are the worst part of the earth. Their desire is to see humanity shrink. Therefore, they create fear porn about overpopulation despite none of those theories holding up over the years. Listen to Bill Gates talk about this. It is truly creepy how much he wants to reduce humanity.
I have never liked Ben Shapiro because he was always anti-Trump.

Apparently you haven’t heard him speak since 2016.
I love him. I think he’s one of the only podcasters who stays consistent. He says the same thing now as he did 10 years ago. I’ll get a lot of hate but he’s not one of the bad guys. Not by a long shot.

He very well may be my favorite political figure in American history. I’m not exaggerating.

I disagree . Doesn’t look like she has had a lot of work done. Better than the average 50 year old for sure.

Serious question. Did all of you feel this way about the sequels as soon as you walked out of the theater, seeing it for the first time? I feel like I always leave Star Wars movies trying to talk myself into them being good. I am an optimistic loyalist to a fault. I remember walking out of the TLD feeling very strange about what I just saw, but still trying to talk myself into it being good. I even bought the Blu-ray when it came out. But not too long after that, I realized I completely hate it more than any movie that has ever been made. I guess more than anything, I feel a deep shame for not seeing it immediately as the crap sandwich it obviously was. lol. Is anyone else like this? The only movie I felt loyal to that I walked out disgusted after was the 4th Indiana Jones movie that doesn't exist.
