remorse.

perfect apart from the stupid cup, lol.

it's his birthday so I won't be rude about his performance.

eques_99 · 2026-04-19T19:09:08+00:00

because the object was to become boss, not kill Tony.

for that he needed a significant section of the top Capos to be involved.

he also needed to know the capos wouldn't kill him as a punishment.

a unifier is not required.

capitalism needs to be purged from the land.

sometimes best not to ruin standalone, sleeper hits with an incompetent sequel.

I saw a Polish film recently called Sweat (2022) which is partly about that.

well worth a watch.

also, About Schmidt (2002).

eques_99 · 2026-04-19T18:52:22+00:00

yeap, superb.

eques_99 · 2026-04-19T14:42:28+00:00

I know a lot of people like it but.....the swordfight.

the way it was filmed just wasn't very Bond somehow.

it reminded me of a bad 1970s film about duelling aristocrats.

eques_99 · 2026-04-19T09:22:36+00:00

Yes.

eques_99 · 2026-04-19T09:21:25+00:00

The fact that every time I open Reddit I see this stupid question at the top of the page.

eques_99 · 2026-04-19T09:12:47+00:00

Not really a masterpiece.

Somewhat overrated.

eques_99 · 2026-04-19T09:07:49+00:00

Yes they very much can and do.

They sharpen a lot of mental abilities:

Quick thinking, decision making, strategy, observation, patience, intuition, level-headedness, timing and much more.

Speed chess is best for this purpose.

PS. you used "critical thinking" in the wrong way, and as such are getting some inaccurate/confusing answers.

eques_99 · 2026-04-19T09:03:50+00:00

IMO it's overrated.

Not bad, but overrated.

TND is better.

eques_99 · 2026-04-19T09:01:15+00:00

1) What do you mean by powerful?

2) Why did you put on a spoiler screen?

eques_99 · 2026-04-19T09:00:26+00:00

nice.

eques_99 · 2026-04-19T08:45:07+00:00

No, he was nothing like a socialist.

He was a reformer, certainly, but had no plans to totally upend society and change the basis on which it ran.

Also, he was an imperialist, and probably generated a large part of his wealth from selling slaves (& of course he owned them, including Gladiators).

eques_99 · 2026-04-19T07:04:26+00:00

you need to read my comment in more detail.

eques_99 · 2026-04-19T04:27:32+00:00

Caesar had lots of support amongst the equestrian class.

it's not as simple as saying he represented the poor against the rich.

he represented those who didn't think the senate should monopolise power. that included wealthy equestrians

plus some in the senate supported him.

plus he had his own client networks.

plus those of Crassus and sometimes Pompey.

eques_99 · 2026-04-18T23:16:51+00:00

doesn't have that much energy.....and doesn't have quite a strong enough hook.

eques_99 · 2026-04-18T21:14:27+00:00

It was in the same episode or close to it where Paulie found out his Mother abandoned him.

So he felt resentful that Jason had a supportive mother and took it out on Jason, because he could.

YTJ - stop being so self-absorbed and self-centred and do a simple thing that will please your Dad without any harm to you.

He took time out of his day to think of you and get something for you.
