Unlike Father Brown this has a totally unlikeable set of main characters.

The top heavy structure is unstable. The cracks are already starting to show. This won’t end well.
the average wage index is massively flawed. It assumes that self employed workers make the same as employed workers. The self employed make up over 30% of wage earners. They literally took a guess at the income of 30% of wage earners and made a chart.
LOL, great point, but the last couple generations have been off the charts. Google “wages share of income” and see that anyone who works for wages has seen their share of national income on a sharp diagonal since early ‘70s. Salaried a little better off but not by much. The economy funnels most of the wealth that it produces directly to the top.
why are you so worried about how much somebody else makes? Google “Average Wage Index” which tells you how much the average workers wages increased over the same time period. I am more concerned with getting my own pay raise than how much others get.
This is going to be the dark side of Star Trek… These are the ones that do the “wet work” :/
actually you mean “black ops”. Black ops are secret operations wear as “wet works” are murder or assassination’s. All wet works are black ops but not all black ops are wet work.
Hard to watch some actors who have been outed as horrible humans.
Hard to watch some actors who have been accused of being horrible humans… and then having DAs refuse to press charges because there is no evidence. Also remember the accusers dropped civil suits after he refused to pay them off and insisted he would go to court. Sounds like another squeeze play in the “Me Too” money grab.
Isn’t it interesting how so much time is spent on the second flag raising? I would love to see at documentary on the actual taking of the mounting and the first flag raising.
The film clearly shows that the problem was not racism but was the usual lazy government solutions. Instead of do the right thing by distributing the poor across the entire county in an equitable manner they chose to cram as many as possible into Spanish Lake. Why? Because they knew that the areas that where incorporated would all fight them in the courts for a very long time. Also to blame were the realtors for steering and block busting (which although illegal still continues to this day). One only has to look at this situation, higher education. social security, and the healthcare system to understand that expecting the government to fix any social problem is foolish. Government not only does not fix problems; they actually make it worse.
I don’t know about the UK, but the USA is full of mentally ill people in powerful positions.
1 woman your best case scenario 20 kids till she burns out and dies, and if you are lucky 10 of those will be girls. Wash rinse repeat… odds for the human race don’t look good. 1 man and with in vitro he could produce a million children, odds are 500000 are boys. The odds with controlled breeding (to diversify the genetic code) thru about 10 generations and we are back to our same stupid levels that we started with. Problem is humans being a special kind of stupid we will just find a new and interesting way to exterminate ourselves, LOL
This is the sequel, so yes he still is that same guy who kidnapped and impregnated the girl locked in basement. They’re just trying to redeem the character in this movie. You must’ve not been paying attention the last half of first film. He accidentally killed girl in basement when she was trying to escape with the thieves and even tried to replace her with the girl thief and force her to have his child too. When she escaped she just took the money he had to get out of Detroit and not be bothered with the legal trouble since what she did was illegal as well.
I find it interesting that people don’t like the guy that thinks it is fair for the woman that killed his daughter to have to produce a new one for him. Sort of like karma. On the other hand John Wick kills people for money and he is worshipped. Not judging… just something to think about.
I remember one time I had lunch with the Soul Reaper. It was a Monday afternoon in Bristol, rainy, cloudy, romantic, a city I had never been to before & where I will never go again - but I was there exchanging nuclear secrets. We laughed, we joked, we argued over the meaning of the word “the”. We exchanged numbers & eventually became lovers. The Soul Reaper declared his love to me, but I refused to believe & ran away to an island off the coast of Australia. The Soul Reaper chased me - I worked in Interpol & they helped me evade Soul Reaper. We haven’t seen each other for 6 years but I will never forget our time together when we set up an embroidery shop in Athens for 2 years & smoked sea shells together… I was not there in Iran when Soul Reaper was killed by the SAS, although all us sea-shell fishermen mourn his death every year with a BBQ which we host every year on this very day - to which all of you are invited…
Actually you just think he was killed by the SAS. In reality he is hiding in plain sight… you know that commercial where the guy wakes up to the Burger King in his bed? Didn’t you ever wonder who was behind the mask?
Absolutely stunning documentary..made very sensitively and intensely ..with facts, interviews and recordings of the vile rapist ! May he rot in hell in prison !
It is not rape if you choose to exchange sex for gain (money or acting roles), it is prostitution. It is a slap in the face to women actually raped to be lumped in with gold diggers.
Liked it. It shows how bad it could’ve been if the virus had mutated
DNA research of oneself can open fascinating doors into one’s history or as was my case, proved among other things that mom lied about who my dad was.
if you read the fine print you give ownership of your DNA to the companies that test you.
Legitimate geniuses are kinda rare. The word often gets tossed around as a hyperbole. But Maynard James Keenan is a freaking genius.
Well now that they did the required “Groundhog Day” episode we can look forward to seeing the “wake up and it was all a dream” episode and heaven forbid… the dreaded musical episode!
combine spawn and bloodshot. Now take away the good special effects and especially any good acting. welcome to lazarus.
Sorry folks but we can not grow that big due to simple physics. Google the square cube law.
36 seconds in and the bad guys shoot someone from around the front of the truck then run around and fire multiple shots at a girl that runs past them and several ricochet off the inside of the door she is standing next to and miss… you can’t shoot around corners…there is no way they could have missed her…the cops would not be there less than 15 seconds after the first shot…what a turd so far…

I thought I recognized the guy portraying Brad Paxton! Gary Dourdan played Warrick Brown on CSI: Crime Scene Investigation for 8 seasons and left and it came down to contract negotiations. The parties involved reportedly couldn’t meet a resolution, and it was announced that Dourdan would leave the show. I liked him and the character he portrayed and found his acting very good!
“contract negotiations” is the catchall phrase they use to cover up bad things. He was actually having pretty serious narcotic problems and the studio was not willing to risk the CSI cash cow over bad press.
Totally unrealistic action and shooting. Over the top overexaggerated bad guys and an emotionless stone cold hero. Definitely one of the best pure fun action films ever made!
This is a common logical fallacy known as the “No True Scotsman” fallacy. Basically, any positive example of socialism is “not real socialism.” But any negative example is definitely the real deal, of course.
I have no horse in this race (I think it’s a false dichotomy) but you could at least avoid argumentative fallacies when making your point.
A true Scotsman would know the difference between socialism and social programs.
the spoor drive worked from inside the ship so why jettison the warp drive?
so the big bad lady followed their warp signature to find them… except they did not warp they used the spore drive so no warp signature… and she used unstable wormholes to get there but they didn’t so there would not be a warp signature inside the wormhole to follow. Lazy writing
plot twist… the monster is actually the child and the child is a hologram
Just more anti-gun propaganda. How about a documentary about how a gun saved 4 lives?
do not watch this movie… you will hate the ambiguous ending. you have been warned.
Nice comments from the guy that SCOTUS ruled knowingly violated the constitution with DACA. Seems like a President who does that “put democracy on a dangerous path.”
I’ll bet the DNA matches to Richard Floyd McCoy Jr.
the strong, whether by numbers or weapons, have always bullied, beaten and killed the weak. Humanity..
Flawed logic. Every piece of actual evidence against her would also be valid against the maid. They claim the other guy had an alibi because he remembered some priests on a trolley, but the driver or priests don’t remember him riding and he could have just seen them ride by. And still no identification of the strangers the neighbors saw pounding on the front door that morning.
its so funny how you can always spot the most racists folks by how quick they are to point out that slavery existed elsewhere and not just in America lol
It leaves out a lot of juicy details. Like how the Portugese showed up with their firearms in search of gold and used intimidation to exploit the local slave trade. A slave trade, I might mention, that was vastly different from what the American slave trade would become. Enslaved people in that region has some rights and opportunities. Slavery in the US would take the horrific practice to new lows.
I guess the US deserves a pat on the back because their treatment of slaves was so abhorent that the ones that sold them the slaves had a change of heart and then sought to abolish slavery. Naturally, those same hypocrites then went on to use the abolition of the slave trade as a means to enslave an entire continent via colonization. Caucasians are tricky af.
Yeah, ignoring ‘all’ the facts in order to push a particular narrative does no one any favors. Nor does it absolve anyone from their part in it to shift blame.
so, but there are still slaves in Africa AND the U.S. never colonized Africa.

While it is cool to see what comes out of the boxes, take the numbers with a grain of salt.Some are basing the new value on MSRP which nobody pays. Also some are saying they will resell at full value or pretty close to it. It just ain’t happening. View this as entertainment but don’t run out and quit your job based on the figures being tossed around.
Surely if blocking traffic is a textbook form of terrorism you can find actual textbooks or dictionaries using blocking traffic as an example, or citing incidents of simply blocking traffic as domestic terrorism. Can I get one of those please?
f you say that something is a textbook case or example, you are emphasizing that it provides a clear example of a type of situation or event. illegally blocking traffic to intimidate people in order to achieve political gain is a clear textbook example of terrorism. but you KNOW that and are just trying to set up a straw man. Ergo if you can only attack the messenger or the verbiage then you have no true rebuttal to the argument. Basically you have just admitted my statement was in fact valid and are saying you no longer have any useful input. goodbye and have a nice day.
Would you mind sharing which scholars on terrorism and/or English cite “blocking traffic” as a form of textbook terrorism?
ter·ror·ism
/ˈterəˌrizəm/
Learn to pronounce
noun
the unlawful use of violence and intimidation, especially against civilians, in the pursuit of political aims.
“the fight against terrorism”
…what you defined as terrorism is exactly what white people started doing the minute they realized they were no longer the race majority of the U.S.
Actually burning down some innocent persons house or company, or blocking legal traffic, or any of the other things BLM does to get people to put pressure on the government is what is textbook terrorism.
lead actor was great , i didnt -1 point to you because im giving u a chance to re-edit
you take away a point because you disagree… should I take away a point because I disagree with you?
sorry, I guess I didn’t write that clearly. I meant to say…”vast majority of terrorist acts and terrorist related murders in the US are done by white right wingers.”
Define “terrorists murders”. Terrorism and mass murder are not the same. Mass murders are just to kill, no ultimate outcome required as most mass murderers plan to die in the act. Terrorism is the act of doing something to people to put pressure on a third party in order to achieve a goal.

The premise is stupid. Time inversion won’t work. The fights were repetitive. The lead actor has zero charisma. He was cold but not in a 007 kind of ice in his veins cold… just a bad actor cold. Definitely did not live up to the hype.
You can keep sayin’ that till you’re blue in the face, it still won’t make it true. And it still doesn’t change the fact that the vast majority of terrorist acts and murders in the US are done by white right wingers.
actually if you look at the data the majority of whites are murdered by whites and the majority of blacks are murdered by blacks.
Even if you did manage to retire at 50, that’s unusual in the US (even 20 years ago). With the way the economy has been for the past 25 years, and the fact that wages haven’t really increased (whether entry level/non-degree jobs or not)—- it’s pretty unlikely someone with ANY degree would be able to retire at 50 or 60 years old.
While I’ll agree that there’s far too much political influence (both left and right) in academia, I think studying women’s history and sexuality is a useful thing. Depends on the teacher and school, of course. It also depends on the student. Plenty of people go to school for the sake of learning rather than trying to get a high paying job. Unfortunately, most people simply cannot afford to do either.
I have an 18 year old car. I do all the repair work for my small house and car myself. I have one TV and one computer. That computer is 10 years old and only cost $300 new. I use coupons and wait for sales to stock up. I rarely go out to eat. All the money my equals spent on extras I invested instead. Unlike those in D.C. I understand that it is not just what you make but also what you spend. Think back and recall all the money you wasted in life and then think about where you would be if you had invested it. So yes, it is possible to retire at age 50.
meant to be a horror movie but was actually unintendedly funny. I am surely going to hell for laughing at this but it was really a great revenge comedy/horror. we all secretly wish we could do to idiots and punks horrible things but T guess we have to settle for living vicariously thru people like Salah. So good I watched it twice!
“Going Postal”… a film about 5 people that committed mass shootings… none of which occurred in a post office.
