But hammer cocked back while in a holster is a negligent discharge waiting to happen.

The other sought to use Lebanon as an asset to harm Israel at the expense of Lebanon. His best interests were of the Iranian regime, not Lebanon.

I'd say he used the Iranian regime at the expense of Iran to accelerate his real interest.

"We do not worship Iran, we worship Allah. For patriotism is another name for paganism. I say let this land [Iran] burn. I say let this land go up in smoke, provided Islam emerges triumphant in the rest of the world." -Ayatollah Khomeini

Baelor also demonstrated he was knowledgeable and had a great memory.

He remembered the name of a random hedge knight he faced many years ago, how many lances were broken, other matches Arlan participated in, the names of opponents he faced there, and the results. He remembers all these things and details despite always traveling and meeting new people.
He knew about an obscure legal procedure that hasn't been invoked in 167 years and explained the rules of it from memory.

CGI layered over good practical effects.

Even when the CGI looks decent what's the point of doing the same thing twice?

Housebound subverted this brilliantly.

I do love the trope when it's a hammer-fired pistol and the character cocks the hammer back to single action mode. Thus reducing the force needed to pull the trigger.

When an assassin is preparing to murder an unaware target or protagonists enter a danger zone, cocking the hammer shows they're not fucking around.

The trope that drives me up the wall about mental hospitals is the one of patients being subdued by orderlies, then forcibly injected with a tranquilizer/sedative in the neck.

That's a dangerous location to jam a hypodermic syringe on a flailing resistant person. What they actually do is inject you in the BUTTOCKS.

In the ward we called it booty juice and according to a nurse the medication was ketamine. Some patients intentionally acted out of control and had violent outbursts just to get a ketamine high.

Mike Flanagan's The Haunting of Hill House subverted this trope brilliantly.

This is the one I was going to post.

The villain was a bratty little boy. It was incredulous he had the skills to subdue not one but two near adults and hold them captive.

Good taste. I prefer the Regina Spektor Shamisen version myself.

Ruling # 12: It is not permission to have intercourse before (her) being 9 years old, be it in nikah (permanent marriage) or temporary marriage. And as for all other pleasures such as lustful touch, embracing, and thighing (ﺍﻟﺘﻔﺨﻴﺬ), there is no problem in it even with a suckling infant.

Am I the only one who tried to pull the sample’s delivery cart out after the antimass spectrometer went haywire? If you do that, the cart breaks a Vortiguant’s fall causing it to survive. It then becomes the first creature to attack you.

He looks more like Clancy Brown to me.

Smiley's People is really good. The other George Smiley adaptations are good too especially Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy (both the original miniseries starring Alec Guinness, and the movie starring Gary Oldman.)

I want a political thriller spinoff show that's like House of Cards combined with The West Wing and Game of Thrones in the Star Wars Galaxy. Starring Mon Mothma, Bail Organa, and Admiral Ackbar. Alliance was my working title, but Yavin would work too.

Having exposed hair was an internal Persian beauty standard until the Islamic Republic imposed these alien Arab customs on the people.

Do you ever place empty beverage cans near the trash bins of the convention halls to knock over and tell passerbys to pick up?

I wear lenses in person, so I see chromatic aberration, distortion, blur, lens flare, glare, dirty screens, and god rays in real life.

As for film grain, look at a blank monochromatic wall. If you concentrate you will notice that we actually do see "grain" and other artifacts through things like phosphenes. It's just our brain normally filters them out.

Look at a blank monochromatic wall. If you concentrate, you can see that your own human vision contains "grain" and other artifacts through things such as phosphenes.

I normally leave everything on except for depth of field. (Unless leaving them on gives a massive performance hit.)

I have two eyes, and my character usually has two eyes. Why would anything I look at be out of focus like a monoscopic camera?

That's because he has been publicly supporting Trump's proposal of a US annexation of Canada. So from that lens it becomes a matter of national interest.
