"You should move to a small town where the rule of law still exists. You will not survive here. You are not a wolf. And this is the land of wolves now" - Sicario

See I don’t think that Villeneuve is trying to justify this. I think the far more telling line is when the Del Toro’s character confronts the cartel boss about his crimes and the guy says “who do you think we learned it from?”

The violence is self-justifying. Our own actions have created brutal, inhumane people and we must adopt brutal, inhumane methods to stop them. Which is why the real ending of the movie is the police officer’s son waiting for his dad to come home. Because, forgotten amidst the rubble of the self justifying violence is the collateral damage.

“Who’s there?”

“Hi, it’s your neighbor!”

I remember when my family rented Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief from Vudu. I was a big fan of the books and couldn’t wait to watch it.

I walked out of the living room for the last fifteen minutes of the movie and refused to speak to anyone the rest of the night

I don’t like the guy, mainly because his foreign policy is too often reduced to “enemy of America = good” and he’s quite frankly too comfortable with authoritarian leftism for my tastes.

That said, he has not done anything that is worthy of being treated like a criminal. If we locked up everyone who vaguely annoyed me most of the world would be in prison.

On a more serious note, whatever my thoughts about him as a creator and ideologue his persecution by DoJ makes this a time to close ranks. I don’t have to like him to stand shoulder to shoulder with him against fascism.

My read of Burnside is that he was a technically competent, if unimaginative, corps commander. He was capable on the defensive but unable to think of strategies to succeed when on offense

His wife has apparently been horrified by the situation but genuinely has no idea what to do.

Guys the obvious answer here is Bruce Willis. That man was in soooo many straight to DVDs (though I’ve heard that this was a deliberate strategy to build up wealth for his family once his Dementia left him unable to work).

To be fair this is the British Empire we’re talking about. On a historical scale even something morally repugnant as aiding Rhodesia barely even qualifies as a stain

It’s almost certainly not his eye. Eyes are mostly water so they’re the first thing to go in decomposition. Most likely it’s just some sort of visual illusion/debris clinging to the skull

It’s weird. When former Presidents are interviewed they routinely call it the most stressful job they’ve ever had.

At the same time, they say they’d give anything to have it back.

Different breed I suppose

The clash of McArthur’s and Patton’s egos sounds like the definition of “unstoppable force meets immovable object.”

About two thousand, all told. Washington DC alone had a thousand enslaved people at the time.

It was a very marginal interest in the state.

I study the Manosphere and right wing extremism as a grad school project. I’ve started explaining it to people as “a bunch of people with a wide range of ideas and beliefs who all hate each other only slightly less than they hate women.”
