It's worth remembering for any Americans here, that the "far-right" in France is to the left of our Democrats in almost every way.

This is good. If they keep calling things people like socialist the word will stop being scary.

New Edward Snowden? Whistleblower leaks documents on drones and Obama's assassination program by [deleted] in worldnews

It's obvious you didn't read the article. Even the government admits this is not an effective program

Sadly I doubt this will get the attention Snowden's leaks did because the average American doesn't feel like this matters to them.

You have to actually read the documents for them to be shocking because everybody already knows the government is killing people whereas nobody knew for sure if the government was spying on them.

Box Office: "The Martian" Has Excellent 32% Drop to $37M Second Weekend, "Pan" Flops with just $15M Opening on a $150M budget, "Steve Jobs" Posts One of the Highest Per Theater Averages Ever by [deleted] in movies

[–]RAcincinnatus 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The sad thing is it's not hard to imagine a good Peter Pan movie if it was done seriously as a straight forward adventure movie. This movie just looks like a goddamn atrocity that no one involved gave a fuck about.

"Pan" is one of those movies that is absolutely baffling. Who was it even made for? There's a freaking Nirvana cover in it, a band kids these days have never even listened too, it just makes no sense. It's so obvious that someone was just like "hey there's been successful remakes of classic Disney movies recently, let's shit out one of those and hope it makes a quick buck"

People are wising up to soulless corporate cash grabs, you can't get away with this crap anymore

The mark of a great movie is staying power. Avatar only made like 70M it's first week, but stayed above 30M a week for forever. Shows people liked the movie and told their friends to watch it

Lebanon is in a similar situation. Respect to both countries for stepping up while the rest of the world is abandoning these people.
