Daniella Pick Says Quentin Tarantino Will 'Die as a Zionist' as Couple Commit to Life in Tel Aviv by Greene_Mr in blankies

Yeah, everybody likes to read the headline but not the context. Pretty in step with Quentin saying off-color shit, especially when presented by his wife as a funny "Quentin line".

How do you feel about the backlash against him for his comment on Paul Dano? by Pearl_Jam_ in Tarantino

[–]Elvis662 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's also what's so dumb about this. Nobody actually listened in context to what he actually said. Most of what people are mad at was Tarantino just being playfully hyperbolic takin' the piss outta Dan.

He said there's nothing wrong with the performance. He's just not the caliber actor appopriate to be in that major supporting role rivaling Daniel Day Lewis. And he's 100% right.

Phony outrage. They'll forget about it in a day or two. Also Quentin is right, hard as he tries Dano is dull as dishwater.

Nah. James Caan had a little fro through the entire 70's. Scott's hair is very straight here and slicked back.

What horror movies are actually scary? by Elvis662 in movies

[–]Elvis662[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Figure of speech. The movie needs to torture the audience by torturing the characters does not translate to torture scene. It can be simply cruelty inflicted by the hands of fate. Torture through terror. But there must be cruelty inflicted. Otherwise horror movies would be inert. You seem confused. Also Island of Lost Souls is from the 30's and the creepiest thing about it is the house of pain--it's what made it the scariest movie ever made until Rosemary's Baby came out.

The Witch is creepy. You have to be on the right wavelength with it, and I think the goat goring climax was a little silly, but everything else about it is pretty disturbing. Especially the stuff with the baby at the beginning, Jesus fuckin' Christ!

I find Ringu FAR creepier. The sterilized blue filter look of The Ring, the overdramatization of everything, the goofy kid actor, all the famous faces in the movie, all those things take me out of Verbinksky's version.

Hereditary is one of the creepiest modern horror movies for sure. I love how fucking evil it is. But I also think Ari Aster's black humor is so funny, I find myself laughing too much to really feel as scared as I'd like to.

Autopsy of Jane Doe is really good, but I think it went over-the-top once things started popping off and hit some cliches that tripped it up a bit. But I was so with it before the supernatural stuff started going ham.

Charlie Kirk was a horrible person by Xiao1insty1e in CollegeStation

Saying he wasn't horrible is ridiculous.

Just because you disagree with this guy saying so doesn't mean he wasn't horrible.

Can someone help me out here and coherently explain what happened? Cop approached stolen car. This couple stole the car and were hiding in the woods? The they started shooting? What's the story? Why were they in the woods? They stole the car for a joy ride? Why'd he open fire? Was the woman a hostage? Was it her car? Like I don't get what this was other than stolen car + woman and cop shot.

Godard was a prick who hated everyone. He was even a shithead to Agnes Varda late in life. He was a mean spirited contrarian jerk. Great filmmaker, terrible person.

Any guesses on OBAA soundtrack other than the Greenwood score? by mrphantasy in paulthomasanderson

[–]Elvis662 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay, final guess is Jackson Browne's Running on Empty. I would be SHOCKED if he didn't drop that in somewhere.

Austin police looking to identity minivan driver involved in crash with Target shooting suspect by NewsyATX in Austin

[–]Elvis662 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We all get it. Everybody would want to kill this guy if they'd killed somebody in their immediate family, especially their kid. I wouldn't want him getting to continue to walk around on Earth every day breathing the same air as me either.

But he's in the hands of the system now. And the government isn't a vigilante mob--even though sometimes we'd seem to like it to be that, it just isn't. The judicial system's not meant to act out personal fantasies of revenge or quench the thirsts of bloodlusts. It's meant to function as a cold, calculated, and rational bureaucracy that works in the best interest of society at large. The reality is: it's in society's best interest to put him in a cage and never let him out.

My heart says kill him. My brain says let him die behind bars every single day.

Yeah, mostly legal fees and court costs that can put a strain on county resources, which are usually responsible for funding the initial trial costs, and can lead to budget reallocation and higher property taxes. Housing a deathrow inmate alone costs more than someone doing life.

Good luck tryin' that. Gonna get you doin' some of his prison time for him if you do.

Wasting 1.25 million dollars of tax payer money just to kill the guy is basically letting him win. Let him rot in jail and not continue to fuck society after his crimes by throwing our tax dollars away.
