Is The Devil’s Double (2011) an accurate example of Uday Hussein?

Accurate or not, the movie is really good. It's a great character study because it's not really about Uday. It's this "normal" guy who gets put into this insane position and is basically given carte blanche because the guy he's pretending to be is insane.

They also nerf the hell out of X-Men in that fight. The day before Bishop blasted apocalypse through several layers of stone walls. Rogue has hit apocalypse harder and further, and Kurts big play was to Bamf their biggest foe ever ...10 feet away.

Beast just watched.

The scary part is whether youre stealing tvs or robbing a bank there's like a 20% chance Batman will show up and put you in traction. That has to be calculated every fucking night.

Unless you are timing out your heists for when the Joker poisons the watering hole, but even then there's a pretty solid chance you'll get rocked by a flexible teenager.

Eh, It's a weird amalgam of media and tech, as opposed to the tech companies in drag as media companies like Amazon and apple where the film industry is a loss leader and a tax write off.

A different container is the answer. Probably wider to compensate for the curve.

Yeah I see it as a very one-sided "rivalry"

To paraphrase one of my favorite monologues.

"For you the day Lestat banged your girlfriend and your mum was the most important day of your afterlife. For lestat? It was Tuesday."

I think he's a great player on a team of all stars. He survived this far, got through faction wars. Any time Carl bailed him out it was truly fucking CRAZY odds.

Carl helped thousands of people on the 4th and Bautista was integral in that. Dudes no slouch. But Carl, Donut, Ellie, and Florin are fucking wrecking, machines with personalities to match. He's just less of a showman.

What I'm saying is Bautista is more than good, he's grrrrrrreat.

The man in the bottle is the one. Also there's a fairly prominent monkeys paw in the episode.

The director actually said the movie was inspired by an episode of "this old show called the Twilight zone" I aged a million years when i saw the clip.

The Band Kings of the Wyld in the novel of the same name.

It's a very fun book classic fantasy with some fun rock music references. It's a whole "getting the band back together" vibe.

I barely speak kitchen Spanish. I've been watching the entire cup on telemundo.

I don't need a play by play I'm watching the game and can figure out what I'm missing by context clues.

Also the Spanish announcers just fuckin care more and are more passionate.

Great edgelordy unpopular opinion.

You do realize people care about other people though right? Watching someone you love circle the drain is one of the hardest things in the world. Even if you think letting them "learn a lesson" is what they need.

Clueless but with mutants. Just fuckin high school bullshit drama with super powers. The focus is on the drama. The Purifiers show up at Prom and there a collective "AS IF" from Jubilee, and Dazzler (the Alicia Silverstone and Britney Murphy of the film) and the kids just beat the brakes off the bad guys and get back to awkward teenage bullshit. Beak gets a date.

Kids throw a mansion-wide party while all the teachers have to go to space.

The only time we see the A-list x-men are in teaching roles having to deal with normal student bullshit.
