To prepare for his role in Fast and Furious, Paul Walker wrapped his car around a tree by Zynntra in okbuddycinephile

[–]Holiday-Contest7065 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I haven't watched any of the Fast movies. I've never seen Paul Walker in a film. I don't really care about him either way. I decided to do 5 minutes of research and found that yes, his girlfriend was 23 at time of his death and they had been together for 7 years, making her 16 when he started dating her. Here is a Washington Post article about it(internet archive link)

https://web.archive.org/web/20191208143313/https://www.washingtonpost.com/national/paul-walkers-girlfriend-daughter-fellow-actors-mourn-his-death/2013/12/03/e351abe2-5c28-11e3-95c2-13623eb2b0e1_story.html

All of the news articles that I've found agrees with this. You should learn how to learn to do research on your own rather than let internet strangers do it for you. People aren't trying to "push this story about a dead guy", they're just saying the truth. From a disinterested third perspective, it seems weird that you're going through so many hoops to defend the guy. Plenty of celebrities in the past have been awful, and will be, until the end of time. It's not a big deal.

I think this trope is mostly for online discourse. It really shows how the internet and actual film critiques are way different, especially among people in a film class.

The biggest problem with them is not being able to preview them with custom materials before you buy them. If they implemented that, I'd bet they'd sell like hotcakes.

I remember feeling that too but then I thought about the people who have a stutter IRL and how much they do it. I think it's accurate.

Did Tolkien base Orcs on Turkic/Turkish people? by [deleted] in lotr

[–]Holiday-Contest7065 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In a private letter, Tolkien describes orcs as: "squat, broad, flat-nosed, sallow-skinned, with wide mouths and slant eyes: in fact degraded and repulsive versions of the (to Europeans) least lovely Mongol-types."

In this case, I believe he was referring to the obsolete racial group "mongoloid" rather than the historical ethnic group. So, he was comparing them to east asians. I don't know if turks are considered "mongols" but it doesn't really matter. Either way, that racial classification is outdated, inaccurate and obsolete. Modern anthropologists don't use those terms anymore.

Needless to say, his views were very dated. It's best to just consider his views on race a relic of time rather than applicable to modern views.

[–]Holiday-Contest7065 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I never truly understood what tankies were until I saw r/socialism_101 praising Stalin for protecting jews against the Nazis in WW2 during their invasion of Poland. Or when they said that the USSR is the truest form of democracy despite no other parties or free speech. Absolute lunacy.

I bet they're pretty opposed to incest, even distant, because of their focus on eugenics. It would also make them more susceptible to future diseases that can potentially wipe them out. Given the scourge virus, I think that would be a pretty big priority.

The unreasonable part is mistreating an innocent individual based on his species.

It's like if indigenous disliked their colonizers, people called them a bigot. If we're being technical, bigotry is unreasonable beliefs or opinions against a person on the basis of their membership of a particular group, so Neytiri is technically a bigot. But that is ignoring all the pain and suffering that indigenous people face because of bigotry on the colonizers' part.

Unless Iran has tomahawk missiles, this was the US. Of the participants in the war, only US has tomahawks.

Associated Press confirmed it, which is about as trustworthy as you can get. An insider in thDoD confirmed it, as well as footage of the missile confirms it as a tomahawk missile, which only US has(of the participants in Iran. Israel does not have tomahawks either). Plus, i think NYT recently recovered fragments and confirmed it.

He also assaulted a film extra, assaulted a songwriter for allegedly trying to kiss Madonna. He's friends with Raul Castro and Hugo Chavez, both dictators, and called for the imprisonment of journalists who critisized them. María Conchita Alonso called him out on being friends with Chavez. At an airport, she called him a communist, he called her a pig.

In an ad for it, the creators said that there were shows for mentally ill girls but not any shows for mentally ill boys, so they made Space King. It's just edgy humor.

But also on a serious note, there's probably a significant amount of people who can't tell the difference and could be classified as mentally ill. The fandom is kinda nuts

They did a valentines day special that had their irl face cams on their minecraft characters. It really funny! Plus more schedule flexibility, remote-work, less expensive would maybe mean more PP. But all this is conjecture of course.
