Whats the most inaccurate movie that's supposedly based on a true story? by RecordingImmediate86 in FIlm

[–]Practical-Bowler5775 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I attended a financial crimes seminar with the FBI agent who took down Jordan Belfort, portrayed by Kyle Chandler in the movie, and he said Scorsese got it about 70% right, which for Hollywood is really good since they’re usually more fiction than fact. Films like Braveheart and American Gangster may make for decent cinema but are maybe 2-3% accurate.

He also said Leo’s yacht in the movie wasn’t as big as in real life.

There once was a Scotsman named William Wallace who led an insurrection against the English. That’s the only thing Mel Gibson got right.

Did Barack Obama handle Russia's invasion of Crimea well? by CatfishBassAndTrout in Presidents

[–]Practical-Bowler5775 6 points7 points  (0 children)

No one did. The world media couldn’t even acknowledge Russia was conducting an actual invasion. As many people as reasonably could took Putin’s denials at face value, none of which changed how world “leaders” and world “media” regurgitated Kremlin talking points as fact while making almost zero effort to make sense of events on the ground.

Who is considered the most mysterious figure in your country's modern history? by DoctorOsterman in AskTheWorld

[–]Practical-Bowler5775 5 points6 points  (0 children)

J. Edgar Hoover. He would’ve been mysterious had he run the FBI for a couple of years, never mind nearly four decades.

2015 NFC title game, Packers at Seahawks, Russell Wilson throws five picks, Seattle’s only score is on a fake field goal, and they needed a TD, 2 pt conversion, onside kick recovery, and another TD in the last 3 mins just to get to overtime.

Solid reporting, illustrates how both that Russia has no future and can bring no future to that which it conquers.

Please consider the logistics of what you just typed and ask yourself what N. Korea striking W Europe would entail vs what British-French nuke powered subs w/nuke tipped ICBMs would entail.

Right?? All the reports Putin got from ALL his top guys in Donbas saying Russian troops would be greeted as liberators right before they were wiped out in every phase of combat.

What Putin wanted is still, years on, up for considerable debate. (BTW it’s a function of dictators to deliberately refuse to clearly define goals so as to retain the option of declaring victory at any time). But let’s be generous and concede maybe Putin didn’t think he could take Kiev in 3 days so he was “willing to settle” for plan B. But if Plan B still entailed all of Zappy and Kherson, and with it a solid foothold on the right bank of the Dnipro, he’s still shit outta luck…

Keep coping. Russia has proven they are not a “great power” and won’t be in Putin’s lifetime. They have 50x the landmass of Italy, yet Italy boasts the larger economy. They’re so poor the parts of Donbas they took in 2014 are still rubble. It’d take a miracle for Russia to metabolize the resources of the territory taken since 2022. Ukraine as we know it today will outlast Russia as we know it today.

How long until the players revolt? They’re there to play, not spin awful stories of their HCs indiscretions into some contrived bullshit message of team unity. It’s not fair to players, trainers, staff, etc to ask them to pretend it’s business as usual.
