Sweet Tooth (2021) S3 E8
Steppenwolf71 -1 points 5 days ago*. (Contains Spoilers)

Personally, I really liked this. I give it 4.5/5✨ What can I say? I’m a sucker for Humanoid Groundhogs!😉 Bobby’s the man! Oh, and… overall, I thought season 3, seriously blew. It was so cliche’, it was sad. The entertainment Industry, needs a serious enema. There’s no such thing as greatness, without risk.
Btw, that Evil (lol), Human loving chick? She was just annoying. Very BAD role placement. Oh, and the 3rd season, sucked. I like the fact that they presented this, more recently familiar “Human Dilemma.” Recent, to Non-Native American’s. Only, because we don’t believe in this concept of Humans, being higher evolved lifeforms. Our thinking… is merely more abstract. We intentionally (and unintentionally) obfuscate the truth about ourselves, as a species. So that we don’t have to accept responsibility, for our ignorance. But now that we know? That won’t fly. It’s change… or die. If we DO (by some freak of sheer adaptation… and good fortune) survive this age of our Industrial Revolution? It won’t have been… because of an abundance of foresight. Or a lack of Self-delusion.
How about… we just grow up? And maybe pay back the blank checks we’ve been writing, on the backs of the rest of the lifeforms on this planet. Just a thought.

i watched this show religiously for 23 years. Couldn’t wait until the next season came on. Last season (S.24) for some reason, it just did nothing for me anymore. I didn’t watch most of that season, and I’m going to put it on my dropped list. Bye, SUV. You were a good friend for a long time.

betty 1 points 5 days ago.

Oh, same I have to admit. Still watch it from time to time but I dunno, not really into it anymore. I think Benson was a great female character to have had on a show like this but its probably time for her to move on - its actually just getting painful seeing her deal with these traumatic cases again and again, and we all know where she stands so not really anything new she can say or do, Id like to see her move to a less difficult position and focus on her son and life and having a good time, even if that means the end for the series. And poor old Ice T could do with some more sunshine in his life too:)

I’m a nerd. This discussion made me curious about actual numbers so I went to look at reported data. 333M genpop US citizens in 2020, 252M of genpop were voting age in 2020 (75%), 168M of total were actually registered to vote in 2020 (50% of genpop, 67% of all voting age), 155M of total actually went out and voted for some issue or other in 2020 (46% of genpop, 92% of registered). You can draw whatever conclusions you want about why 2/3 of people eligible to vote did not vote at all. Your numbers are pretty close.

Some votes make no difference, some votes have significant impact on you whether you like it or not, and your vote actually is meaningful. People do not vote every office on the ticket for a presidential election. A significant number of registered voters go to vote only on things like millages that will raise their local taxes, weed legalization, reproductive freedom, state and local representatives. Which idiot will run their school board and ban books, which idiots are running to turn half the city roads into expensive and completely unused double bike lanes (those people won and flipped council by a mere 29 votes), which idiots are running because they believe property owners who have rentable space but choose not to rent it should pay heavy fines, because baristas have a constitutional right to live within a five minute walking distance from work, there’s not enough affordable housing right downtown, and they are too precious to ride an almost free municipal bus to work from a neighborhood they actually can afford. 56% of registered voters in my state voted to legalize weed, the people in my state are now free to light up a spliff all day with no harassment from The Man and my city now has more weed shops than restaurants.

Whatever you believe about criminal syndicates running the United States (accurate) there are still cases where your vote is highly relevant. My mother was a poll worker all of her married life and I grew up sitting on the floor of a gymnasium for 24 hours straight six times a year. End of rant.

Awesome show! Jeremy Renner is criminally underestimated.

betty 1 points 5 days ago.

Whats sad about those figures is that it makes it very clear that a third party could actually win by a landslide if people would only get up and vote for them. The US system is particularly bad, a vote between two kings and their queens (will never understand the first lady nonsense, its especially abhorrent), a farce really, a pretense at democracy that seems to have little to do with party policy and more about personality cults. I dont blame people for getting disillusioned but the most important change US Americans could bring about is to open up the presidency and government to more than two centrist parties.

Yes, the original series on CBS ended. It was taken up by Paramount+ (iirc) and is now called Criminal Minds Evolution. Much the same tho there are a few differences, from bad language and smoking ;) to season long cases rather than the old formula of one case per episode. Hoped Reid might come back this season…

Guess I should watch this before……In 2022 it was announced that the 2008 horror film The Strangers would be getting a three-movie reboot intended to give more insight into the titular Strangers’ motivations. Directed by Renny Harlin, the first of the trilogy has made its anticipated release, much to the delight of horror fans.

Bosch: Legacy (2022)
Piglet 1 points 5 days ago.

There will be a season 3, unfortunately, there is not yet an official release date for Season 3. Given that Season 1 debuted in May 2022 and Season 2 launched in October 2023, we will likely see Harry Bosch and co return to our screens in late 2024. Excitingly, it has recently been confirmed that filming wrapped in May 2024, making an end-of-year release date still possible.

Blue Bloods (2010)
Piglet 1 points 5 days ago.

There could be a spinoff after the final season. This is the first indication that Blue Bloods may end up extending its life beyond the planned season 14B that airs this fall. Cast and producers have been upfront on how they feel the show still has life to it and shouldn’t be canceled just yet. While CBS has confirmed they won’t change their minds about the cancellation, a spin-off could be the key to continuing the franchise a bit.

It is a great show and Renner is what makes it tick.
I’m in Texas and there are many perfect examples of how, even on a state and local level, the will of the people can be thwarted by a broken political system. For the sake of brevity, I’ll just address the marijuana legalization issue. Most Texans support legalization across the board. When you start talking about the legalization of medical marijuana and just decriminalizing recreational use, those numbers shoot up. Despite that, though, we remain one of the most restrictive states in the country. For the fairly short list of medical uses approved, there are only very low level THC products available, and they are almost useless at those levels.

When you start talking about decriminalization, that’s when the hypocrisy of our elected officials is exposed. Republicans have controlled state politics since the mid 90s. Many of our state Attorney Generals have made a name for themselves, and are very proud of, suing the federal government, claiming that they are fighting overreaching government interference with the people’s will. Yet those same Attorney Generals also sue local governments that try to decriminalize weed, and even more heartless, sue over policies that try to help with the homeless problem. TBH, I’m not sure how much longer I will continue to vote at even a local level. I wish I had the resources to be able to flee this country or, at the very least, move to a state that still seems to actually care about its citizens instead of basing every decision and policy on how profitable it is for the business interests that get them elected and keep them in office.

Sherwood (2022)
Piglet 1 points 5 days ago.

Update on a season 2 and possibly airing this fall! The second season will introduce two new families, who become entangled with the Sparrows from the first run, entering a complex web of local gangs, old rivalries, revenge, and betrayal. At the same time, a new Sheriff of Nottingham fights passionately against a proposed new mine, which brings the promise of much-needed new jobs, but unwelcome reminders of the legacy that has mired the community.

The Seven Dials Mystery
Piglet 1 points 5 days ago.

Sounds good indeed! Filming is expected to begin this summer; no premiere date has been set yet. Christie’s great-grandson James Prichard will executively produce the show alongside Suzanne Mackie (of The Crown) and Chris Sussman (of Good Omens). Prichard said, “Bundle Brent is one of my great-grandmother’s rafts of interesting, humorous, sharp, young female characters. To see her brought to life through the words of Chris Chibnall and this production with Orchid Pictures and Netflix is a dream come true. I think viewers will love this world that we have created, and hope for more.”

Don’t get me wrong I really like this show and most of the people that do the Naked and Afraid challenge earn their place.

So I ask, who else thinks that caiman was already dead when Terra hacked it with the blade?

Locally democracy & voting tends to work acceptably much to most people’s satisfaction. Nationally it’s a different animal. With that, there are plenty of examples on a local level where the will of the people was usurped in spite of voting results. Still - local voting is much more effective than national.

grasshopper rex 2 points 5 days ago.

True. I should have made it clear that I was talking about national elections. I do vote at the state and local levels still. Those are the ones that have the most impact on my life and where my vote might actually do some good. Whichever figurehead is in the Oval Office makes no difference to me as far as I can tell.

Austin has pretty much had a liberal local government for as long as I can remember, slowly but surely though the neoliberals have taken over and the city that so many of it’s older citizens love has been ruined by the greed of these neoliberals that desire economic growth to the peril of everything that makes this city special. They are almost indistinguishable from their conservative counterparts. These yuppy, NIMBY assholes are not progressive by any stretch of the imagination, no matter how much they claim to be.

Cillian Murphy expressed his enthusiasm for the project, stating, “It seems like Tommy Shelby wasn’t finished with me…It is very gratifying to be re-collaborating with Steven Knight and Tom Harper on the film version of ‘Peaky Blinders.’ This is one for the fans.”

Just found some more news about Jensen Ackles and I could see him as Batman! DC Universe fan art imagines Jensen Ackles as Batman in a modern reimagining, sparking excitement for new Batman iteration in The Brave and The Bold. Ackles remains a top choice for Batman casting, pending DC Universe’s completion of The Brave and The Bold movie script for final casting decisions.
The upcoming DC reboot film will introduce a new Batman and a brand new Batsuit design, drawing inspiration from the modern DC Rebirth iteration.

Yellowstone (2018)
Piglet 1 points 5 days ago.

As it has been reported, Costner is leaving the series. Who will replace him? Here is what I have found out and it does sound plausible….Kurt Russell can be one of the most perfect additions to the Dutton Ranch. With his experience in projects like Bone Tomahawk, The Hateful Eight, and Tombstone, Russell can pull off the Western genre with the desired style. As we do not have any official update about Russell’s Yellowstone involvement, his appearance can also be expected in the prequel series, 1944. The series set after the events of 1923 can present the Marvel star as another prominent Dutton family member.

When you have 2 parties that dominate the political landscape, but both are actually just 2 sides of the same coin, your vote doesn’t matter. Without the money that backs those 2 parties, no other players have the funding needed to get elected. Even if, by some miracle, some independent or alternative party member did get elected, how much cooperation would they get in a system full of individuals more concerned about preserving the power of their own party than serving the people? None. Both dominant players have a vested interest in making sure they remain the only players in that game.

It seems as if all that can be dreamed of comes to pass, at some point. I remember an old movie where the super (and it turned out, moral) A.I. was tasked by humans with mining the sea, and refused to do so. It cared more for the ecosystem than the humans did. A profound message.

Not voting is a vote. It’s a vote that says: No thanks, not voting for the lesser of two evils. Those who go to the slaves suggestion box and think that voting for one criminal syndicate over the other are the problem, not the solution. That doesn’t make you free. That isn’t democratic. It’s fascism by another name. Voting for Sam Giancanna or Al Capone is still a vote for a criminal organization that has a vested interest that no one has an acceptable choice.

A poll says that 20% of people would rather a meteor destroy the Earth rather than the current democan or republicrat be elected. That’s around 180 million people who voted with their feet that out of nearly half a billion people, they believe that the two criminals being presented as “a choice” are not valid choices. An actual democracy would have an enormous amount of political parties. There actually are. But most people don’t know about them since there’s a media blackout on everyone who are not part of the hijacked criminal political parties. At this point, those who vote for either are also criminals & should be deported along with the political cults they support so that actual real change can take place & real progress can move society forward instead of being gridlocked in record breaking do-nothing government that’s puppeteered by their corporate owners.

Throughout my lifetime, there has been no U.S. government. There has been an 18-wheel semi full of monkies on PCP that crashed into a nitrus truck full of drunk clowns. No one can force that idiocy upon me, not even upon pain of death.

For those of you who are fans of Jensen Ackles, he will be starring in a new drama (I thought he was going to become a regular on Tracker but maybe not). Countdown’s description, the series begins “following a suspicious murder in broad daylight, which leads to LAPD officer Mark Meachum (Ackles) being recruited to join a secret task force of undercover agents from all branches of law enforcement to investigate. But as the truth of a more sinister plot comes into focus, the team must overcome their conflicting personal agendas to unite and save a city of millions.”

Evacuate Earth (2012)

Frankly, I think all of the pieces to build such a large space craft are already up there in space. It would be easier to make some kind of assembly line, that way we could use all of the space junk that’s already up there. Now that I say that, it makes me wonder if scientists took all the space junk into consideration when calculating asteroids like Apophis and other giant ones that are a threat to our planet. What happens if the asteroid that’s supposed to miss our planet, hits a large piece of space junk, and diverts it towards earth. Is that possible? It’s really scary to think about. I’ll bet out of every movie, series, and documentary, the movie Greenland is the closest to what a real meteor apocalyptic event would be like. The government would definitely wait until the last minute to avoid chaos, looting, murder, rape, and whatever else all of the sick depraved people there are in the world. If you’ve read this far, leave a comment and let us know what movie you think would be the closest, and what you would do if we knew the world was ending. If you’re into the apocalyptic movies and shows like I am, check out Netflix, they’ve been making a lot of those lately including the new Korean series (that’s dubbed in English) Goodbye earth.

greyfur 2 points 5 days ago.

Most like, if it was an asteroid impact, and it was big enough, would probably be like the one Bruce Willis was in, can’t remember the name of it (I’m bad like that), but they would probably send some souped up shuttle up there with a team to try and get out there long before it hits and break it up, and or cause it to change direction enough to avoid hitting the planet, it possible.

I doubt that they would be able to keep anything like that much of a secret for very long, as many amateur astronomers are out there, and some with some really sophisticated stuff to work with, all over the planet, and they all network really well. Something that was big enough to hit the planet and do any real damage would be big news and that would get out really fast.

You see the same specious deflection anytime someone talks about slavery in the US. Why is it so hard to stay on topic? Does it make it any less horrible?

I voted most of my adult life. I’ve seen the gap between the rich and everyone else grow and grow in that time. I’ve seen medical care and the cost of medications become beyond the grasp of most in that time. I’ve seen the American dream of owning your own home slip away. Homelessness continues to rise no matter who is in office. Our rights, slowly but surely, are being taken away from us, no matter who is in office. How, exactly, is voting helping to stop any of that?

The focus was much different than what I expected. War correspondents are a special breed.

So many of these negative reviews are basically:
“I wanted to watch p0rn but this is just a movie about people having sex!”
But in the end, I don’t see what they’re complaining about. You couldn’t ask for a better money shot.

I voted most of my adult life. I’ve seen the gap between the rich and everyone else grow and grow in that time. I’ve seen medical care and the cost of medications become beyond the grasp of most in that time. I’ve seen the American dream of owning your own home slip away.

The “people still suffer from racist policies that have endured” should probable stop voting for the same people that enact those policies…

You see the same specious deflection anytime someone talks about slavery in the US. Why is it so hard to stay on topic? Does it make it any less horrible? No one is telling you to feel guilty about something you had nothing to do with, but when you try to shut down discussions about it and how people still suffer from racist policies that have endured, you do make yourself part of the problem.
