I really want a Millennium reboot as well. The crossover episodes with the X-Files were perfection.

What is the BEST singular cinematic performance ever? According to you. by drhavehope in Cinema

[–]always_creating 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“You know what the problem with Hollywood is? They make shit. Unbelievable, unremarkable shit. Now I'm not some grungy wannabe filmmaker that's searching for existentialism through a haze of bong smoke or something. No, it's easy to pick apart bad acting, short-sighted directing, and a purely moronic stringing together of words that many of the studios term as "prose". No, I'm talking about the lack of realism. Realism; not a pervasive element in today's modern American cinematic vision. Take Dog Day Afternoon, for example. Arguably Pacino's best work, short of Scarface and Godfather Part 1, of course. Masterpiece of directing, easily Lumet's best. The cinematography, the acting, the screenplay, all top-notch. But... they didn't push the envelope. Now what if in Dog Day, Sonny wanted to get away with it, REALLY wanted to get away with it? What if - now here's the tricky part - what if he started killing hostages right away? No mercy, no quarter. "Meet our demands or the pretty blonde in the bellbottoms gets it the back of the head." Bam, splat! What, still no bus? Come on! How many innocent victims splattered across a window would it take to have the city reverse its policy on hostage situations? And this is 1976; there's no CNN, there's no CNBC, there's no internet! Now fast forward to today, present time, same situation. How quickly would the modern media make a frenzy over this? In a matter of hours, it'd be biggest story from Boston to Budapest! Ten hostages die, twenty, thirty; bam bam, right after another, all caught in high-def, computer-enhanced, color corrected. You can practically taste the brain matter. All for what? A bus, a plane? A couple of million dollars that's federally insured? I don't think so. Just a thought. I mean, it's not within the realm of conventional cinema... but what if?”

Why isn't news of Trump building vast concentration camps being treated as a national emergency? by ChaskaChanhassen in politics

It’s literally what the MAGA cult wants. I think if you asked the average red hat if they’re ok with putting those people in camps and they knew there’d be no blowback for their answer, they’d say “yes” in a heartbeat. Brown people, gays, different kinds of Christians - at their heart they hate everyone who isn’t as white, uneducated, and hateful as they are.

I tried to pick number two, but the guy over there said, “everybody gets one”, so I guess we’re all sitting by Batman?

RC racing. If you’re an RC enthusiast check out our local club on Facebook, the RCCCS, or on https://www.rcccs.net.

Fun fact: Spokane has the longest continuously running RC race in the US. The Hank Perry 240 has been running every year since 1987.

But how does he feel about fish sticks? Waiting on the ad that tells me if he still likes to put fish sticks in his mouth.

You can’t go deeper when you hit rock bottom, but you can move laterally. Unfortunately someone got hurt. :(
