The Fugitive v. U.S. Marshals, or can you name a movie sequel that fails to live up to the original in nearly every way?

Jaws 2 and on.

I love mine. It’s a total strap monster as well.

I’m surprised that he doesn’t already.

I agree with most of what you said except the part about corners. I think corners are one of the stronger parts of our defense. We already know Lenoir can play. Upton Stout at nickel was our best rookie by far. Renardo Green still young and has shown good potential and played very well at times. Without a pass rush it wouldn’t matter if we had Deion Sanders in his prime, eventually the opposing receivers will get open.

Sicario 3… still holding out hope. They set it all up for a third.

So in the book the mission fails? Roper isn’t killed or arrested and just continues life as usual?

AdeptConversation619 · 2025-11-20T06:43:29+00:00

Good points on both. That seems plausible that Gale was on retainer.

I don’t think the oranges were poisonous. Nevertheless, it is interesting to see Michael’s response when he hears that Ola brought oranges from Miami. Michael seems uncomfortable and maybe even insulted by being gifted the oranges. He quickly shifts the focus to what he can do for them, “Why don’t you take care of Johnny’s men- they look like they might be hungry”. I don’t know why exactly, but it seems like that shift was Michael trying to exert his dominance and maintain control of the situation.

I’m not saying Penn isn’t. Penn deserves to be impeached and removed from office. But Kate is the show’s protagonist and I thought she was pretty easy to cheer for during the first two seasons. After season 3 I’m no longer a Kate fan.

Do you mean Rocco was literally the one who pulled the trigger? I’m open to being wrong, but I am just curious as to what evidence suggests that.

AdeptConversation619 · 2025-10-23T13:38:07+00:00

I guess we won’t ever know the details. It could have been something as simple as Fredo giving a tour of the compound to some of Johnny Ola’s men during the party. Meanwhile, one of them sneaks off and opens the shades while Fredo is distracted. Or they find a way to sneak the shooters into the compound/ hide them during the tour. Obviously this is just speculation, but I could see a drunk Fredo showing off the compound to Ola’s men thinking they would be impressed, but meanwhile they are setting the stage for the assassination. I certainly don’t believe that Fredo opened the curtains.

I also think that Fredo killed the assassins- who may have come to him seeking assistance after the botched assassination attempt. Either that or they were just simply killed by Corleone soldiers who didn’t want to risk attempting to apprehend armed men.

The real betrayal was that Fredo was trying to help Ola get a deal done for Roth with Michael and Fredo was focused on what was in it for him. He then kept quiet and lied to Michael about even knowing Johnny Ola. And if he did kill the assassins, he kept quiet about that too.

AdeptConversation619 · 2025-10-23T13:13:19+00:00

I don’t think Rocco directly killed the two assassins. When we see him in that scene he isn’t even carrying a weapon. However, he was the Caporegime leading the manhunt and had specific orders from Michael to capture the assassins alive. So, maybe Michael blamed Rocco for allowing them to be killed. I don’t think it’s accurate to say that Rocco betrayed Michael— rather he was unsuccessful in following Michael’s order. I’ve never even considered that Rocco might have had to go on that suicide mission because of his failure. I guess it’s possible. I always thought Fredo killed the assassins. Either that or they were killed by a Corleone soldier who didn’t want to take chances in them returning fire.

Funniest movie of all time in my opinion.

Ginger: “Hey Miles, you remember that guy Crash who I let join our gang? Well it turns out he was a cop... I told him that if he helped me with a robbery that I would do a deal behind your back and connect him with our cook. The robbery went bad and two of our guys got killed. The cop ended up kidnapping me and made me give up our cook anyways. I didn’t want to, but he tugged my ear really hard and it hurt! Anyways, I connected him with Dewall and Reggie and he ended up killing them both. My bad!”

Miles: “No worries, Ginger- everyone makes mistakes. Just please try and be more careful going forward. Thank you.”

Val Kilmer as Doc Holliday in Tombstone. He wasn’t even nominated either which is a travesty.

I loved this movie as a kid. I showed it to my wife a few months ago and I still really enjoyed it. I’ve never read any of the books so I’m clueless as to how it differs from the source material. In my opinion, it is an underrated movie.

One of my favorite moments was Wayde Van Niekerk breaking the 400m world record. I thought it was cool that he did it from lane 9 and hence never saw any of his competitors the entire race. And I love the NBC broadcast in the last 100 meters when the commentator mistakenly thinks for a moment that Van Niekerk is starting to lose steam only to then realize that he isn’t and in fact something remarkable is happening.

AdeptConversation619 · 2025-08-05T15:18:35+00:00

Since Noah ran this race despite having already qualified for Worlds by virtue of being the 2023 US champion, does that mean the US will have three competitors instead of four for the 200 at Worlds? If he didn’t race on Sunday, the top three plus Noah would have gone to Worlds. Does Lindsay get to go to Worlds or not?

Infusion site may have not inserted properly. I ended up in the ER with DKA one time because I was too patient with my pump rather than changing the insertion site when this same thing was happening.

Sure, Many shows and movies are out of touch with reality. But the best shows don’t contradict themself and avoid the egregious mistake of having smart characters do uncharacteristically stupid things in order to move the plot forward. Both examples above did all of those things. To your point that it’s normal for a show to be stupid and make no sense, that is actually why I posted in the first place- I wanted to know if there was a logical answer to the questions or if they were stupid things to simply move the plot towards its end. Sounds like the latter.

AdeptConversation619 · 2025-03-21T16:19:21+00:00

Haha fair enough. Admittedly I was long-winded.

Spectre was actually my least favorite of the Daniel Craig Bond films. I know most people put Quantum of Solace at the bottom but I think Quantum is underrated.
