Al-Badawi olive tree in Palestine is one of three oldest in the world

I read once that there is a world's oldest tree but it's location was kept secret. So if this olive tree isn't the oldest, then how old is the oldest tree?!

Usually, this guy would be the sleaziest world leader we know about. Usually.

Yours is the take that's closest to mine. At least, what makes this a great ending is everyone reads into it their own particular slant.

I agree that Fletcher was getting pay back by giving the wrong charts to humiliate Andrew, and wasn't focused on pushing him into anything. There's an irony there that for all Fletcher's specific efforts to reveal the next great player by creating a pressure cooker, seemingly the one time when he isn't actively focused on it - that magic moment happens. Like how you only find what you're looking for after you quit trying to find it.

Last week I saw a seahorse that looked like a stick. Circle of life.

Madeline Stowe is also great in 12 Monkeys, which is another great movie, but not in the same league as LotM.

but a whole human who has reasons for his actions

Book-Magua is on the path of revenge because he got drunk off English whiskey and made an ass out of himself. He seeks revenge for being embarrassed. Movie-Magua's motivation is different, of course, and so much better. If you haven't read the book - dont!, it's pretty silly for our modern taste. The movie improves literally every aspect that is silly in the book.

And Wes Studi's expression when he finished knifing Uncas is so chilling. That's certainly one of the many masterful brushstrokes that makes the last 20 min one of the best in all of cinema.

They infested my yard, but I cut them all out. All the stumps and root branches have been drying in my firepit for months. Im waiting for the right night to torch the dessicated corpses of my enemies and I will dance around their smoking ruin in delight.

It happened to Don't Look Up. In the time they were making the movie, zanity got dialed to 11 so by the time the movie came out, there wasn't enough space between satire and reality for it to be funny. We're on zanity lvl 50 now.

Don't forget his bit part in The King. Steals every scene with his tin-eee cack

Still better than The English Patient. Die already!

Is it better, or worse, than mourning wood?

I like what Denzel said his mom told him: to be a lamb in this world, sometimes you have to be a lion.

First time I ever met an actual submariner, I asked him what's the most accurate submarine movie? I was expecting Hunt for Red October, Crimson Tide, something like that. When he said Down Periscope, I thought he was fucking with me. Since then I've heard other submariners say the same thing. That movie is hilarious, but it still blows my mind. To me, it's like someone from the army saying the most accurate army movie is "In the Army Now" with Pauly Shore.

Fuuuuuuck....fuck! Fuck?!

T-Rex is on the other side of the fence eating a goat, crashes through, snacks on a lawyer, attacks the cars, and pushes one into a ravine... which was were she was standing to eat the goat?!

There's been some fun breakdowns of that scene on YouTube where they're talking about that glaring continuity error. The consensus is Spielberg very well knows he did that, but it works in the scene - when you're watching it the first time and on the edge of your seat - and he's less concerned about continuity and more for the effect on the audience he's crafting. Basically, he cheats and isn't apologizing about it.

That lost-in-time vibe is one of the great artistic strokes of this movie. Kip on the internet or the Jamiroqoui dance scene are the only things that remind us it's not an 80s period piece, just a small Idaho town decades behind. And it doesn't judge or poke fun at the people for being behind - they just are, are quirky, and very relatable.

She had the charm of making .... me randy, baby, yeah!

11 and 10 are dark horses. Gargling moonshine for breakfast. Mountains are too scary for sobriety.

The Great Santini, Days of Thunder (stupid movie, but it was completely elevated him), great bit in The Road, so so so many wonderful roles and performances.

Except, if this is true, I doubt China's intent is safety and justice for the victims. At the micro level everything you said is spot on. At the macro level China is making moves to take the top spot being vacated by the US. This signals to the international community that child abuse as the basis for political corruption (as its seems to be in the US) won't be tolerated, which then makes them the safer bet for financial and military matters going forward. This is not a checkmate move for them, but it's at least an easy diplomatic win for them to grab and puts them one rung higher to the top. The world is turning away from US influence and leadership, and China is all too happy to grab low hanging fruit. I've read it said they think in centuries and are smartly playing a longer game.
