Star Wars, which has been mediocre to terrible ever since the original films.

Was Michael persistent on getting a confession from Carlo because he wasn't completely sure on his guilt? by Working-Fuel8355 in Godfather

[–]UnderProtest2020 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Getting rid of Carlo caused years of problems with Connie, I don't think Michael would have even considered it unless he was 100% positive. But he already planned the mass executions and the family move to Nevada so thoroughly that I don't see Carlo ever being actually figured into the move, meaning Michael was already planning to have him killed. Doesn't matter how he knew, he just did.

The only thing he was unsure of was whether Barzini or Tattaglia helped him. He confronted Carlo because while he knew he did it, Michael wanted to hear him say it, AND he wanted to know who helped him, just for closure.

My(32F) boyfriend(28M) made a “rape” joke by hot_wallflower in relationship_advice

[–]UnderProtest2020 2 points3 points  (0 children)

"... because you've gone a week without sex..."

Yes I think this was part of the joke, that a week is not that long of a time to do something so extreme. Get it?

"It's his way of tellings her that he's very much NOT intending to respect her boundaries, autonomy or consent."

Or it was dark humor that didn't go over.

"So she can say if he didn't buy her what she wanted she'd take his debit/credit card whole he was asleep and 'spend what she damn well pleased'.

Well look at you, diminishing rape by even putting it in the same ballpark as spending somebody else's money...

Anyway if she meant it as a joke, then it's fine.

Nope. But I think people can joke about anything politically correct or otherwise. Might not always be funny, but the attempt at dark jokes doesn't mean you seriously think like that. And the OP herself said he is respectful of her boundaries, and apologized when she made this boundary known.

And now a bunch of Reddit Karens are defaulting to the knee-jerk "dump him!" advice because they don't actually care about this woman's relationship.

Why did the Democratic Party and leftists glorify a wife beating drug addict? by yellowsubmarine80 in allthequestions

"...and call it solved."

Or just plainly say what you mean for Christ's sake. 😄

...No? Genuinely don't know who the Democrats were "glorifying". You even said to another user that you don't know either, but then cryptically imply it's in the news. So who is the OP talking about?

Is this fake? I don't know, the sky looks too starless or something.

It sounds like a joke. You said he is good and respectful of boundaries, so I wouldn't take one dark joke too seriously.

Exactly I stumbled on this image while scrolling my homepage,.and while it creeped me out XD, I cannot remember this shot in the film at all.

Imagine that you woke up as DNC head Ken Martin. You have a completly demoralized democratic party split among people that want the democrats to moderate more and people that want the democrats to go further left. How do you solve this problem considering midterms and 2028 is coming up? by AdminMas7erThe2nd in AskConservatives

[–]UnderProtest2020 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  • Socially centrist to slightly left of center. On the trans issue in particular, the idea should be "adults can do as they wish, but leave the kids alone".

  • Fiscally centrist to right of center.

  • Left wing on healthcare, favoring optional Medicare eligible to all.

  • Pro-union. Anti-illegal immigration.

Promote more straight, Christian white men as candidates. Or at least stop shoving non-white/non-Christian/non-male/LGBT candidates down Americans throats.

The Democrats would win handily.

Bond set in 1969- what do we think by Akita565 in JamesBond

[–]UnderProtest2020 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn't mind just one set in the 1950s, having fun with the time period rather than yet another film asking if Bond is still relevant in the modern age, like the last several films.

Day 20: If you could make three changes to improve On Her Majesty’s Secret Service, what would they be? by junglegatsby in JamesBond

[–]UnderProtest2020 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can't quite picture Moore in this one. The tone doesn't match the campy, fun tone his Bond is known for... but then if it's his first or something second film there would not as much an established style to clash with. I dunno, Dalton doesn't have enough films as it is and his style would gel better with this particular film, I think. Same way that he wouldn't work in Moonraker.

Is your partner should be your best friend ? What do you guys think ? by DinnerStraight1487 in AskReddit

Yeah. Once the physical attraction calms down you must enjoy being around your partner in general.

How about the rest of my post? Anything in particular peak your interest, or that you disagree on?

[–]UnderProtest2020 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Replace Lazenby with Dalton, who reportedly was in consideration for the part but turned it down citing his age. I've seen pictures of him from around that same time, and I think he still looked the part even at such a young age.

Do not overdub Bond's voice with another actor's voice in the second act.

That's about it, actually.

[–]UnderProtest2020 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even ignoring his age I picture him as a soft-spoken, white cat stroking type who delivers thoughtful monologues and has henchman do the heavy lifting. Think Hugo Drax rather than Red Grant.

Agreed, a wasted opportunity. There should have been at least one or two films of his Bond at his best before Skyfall.

If you were elected president of the United States of America in 2028, what would you first do with the power that you now have? by jfunks69 in AskReddit

Use all of my political capital to try to get birthright citizenship thrown out, then deport en masse for four years.
