  1. I believe Trump had a decent IQ ,but is very ignorant of a great many things even going back to the 80’s. In the Roy Cohn doc and from his biographer, he was portrayed as an empty suit who bullshitted and bullied his way thru business, but had limited attention span and no interest in reading. His current intelligence is now deteriorated and he relies upon past phrases and word salads his way. He can turn a phrase still, and his instinct and savagery are in tact. That the GOP has successfully pushed two incurious men into office, gravytraining on their way there based on their last name, is more reason to relegate the GOP as a viable party in our system of democracy.
  2. 8th grade grammar?
  3. Is she the one en Espanol?
  4. She suffered mental illness, so that was kind of the point
  5. That seems like a long time ago. Was that part of the Teapot Dome scandal?
  6. Clive is started to resemble Bill Murray. Also, seemed to imply dude has a big swinging dick (pool scene, prostate exam)
  7. One misstep I saw was the line DeNiro had about people forgetting this incident. And the FBI guys said they’d always remember or something like that. The book concludes that the American criminal justice system was widely abused to strip people of their rights and property, especially against minorities. This story was not an isolated to Osage County.
  8. Can we get some ankle pics on Clara Bow?
  9. Maverick was kind of a hot dog for much of TG. I see it now and root for Iceman. Maverick gets people killed. Didnt learn his lesson. In fact, in TGII, certainly he was killed instantly when he commandeered aircraft and ejected going mach speed. The rest of the movie is a last second dream as he falls to earth.
  10. The original TG was a monumental film in 1986, far superior in quality and action than its contemporaries. Every part of production was exceptional. It was cutting edge and changed the industry. That youthful and fashionable actors were showcased cant be lost. Dialogue no longer resonates, but I do think there’s something to Tarantino’s commentary about the different layers of TG, as a story about coming to grips with homosexuality. “Don’t write a check with your mouth that your butt cant cash” and “flying by the seat of your pants.” TGII did not change the world like TG did, except remind audiences and executives that there’s more to cinema than greenscreens, universes, and capes.
  11. Aaron went to Berkley and must’ve hated everyone
  12. We have seen countless examples of armed police cowering in the face of a suicidal shooter with an AR-15. And, guess what? That would be most people’s response when being fired upon by a hand-cannon. As one Colorado teacher (who was able to prevent a school shooting) described, it was her combat training and experience that allowed her to properly function. The truth is that civilians have no business playing military unless they are properly trained for combat or “well-regulated” - to put it in 18th century terms.
  13. Mass shootings include: >Gang wars >Maybe some crimes of passion (could include collateral damage) >Planned terror attacks On this thread and in the media, the planned terror attacks take up a lot of space. They’re done by individuals varying from cold sober to short-term mental crisis to mentally unstable to completely insane. We can guess the partisan breakdown of terrorists, but I’m in the “who gives a shit” crowd on terrorist motivations.
  14. Are you AI?
  15. $39 or $49 for bolts? Hmmm…so many options. I’ll upgrade to extra first class and get double bolts for $125.
  16. So, it could have been worse?
  17. Post Dances with Wolves he’s been pretty wooden. I love Harrison Ford, but post The Fugitive he’s phoned it in. Add him to the list. Both guys relied on charisma and it fades with age and stardom. They are such huge stars, they have to act to act like a normal person.
  18. She was pretty damn good in Exit to Eden… NSFW Spoiler…
  19. Shee-it! Penn’s best work (Spicoli in Fast Times and Kleinfeld in Carlito’s Way) werent even among his 2 Oscars and 3 other noms. He pretty much nails every role. Rich Eisen was interviewing the actor Clancy Brown (Shawshank) who acted with Penn in Bad Boys (1983). He was shocked he wasnt a surfer dude. Spicoli might be the finest acting performance of all time.
  20. The dad conditionally loving his kids based on their athletic acumen in a sport where you had to use drugs and sacrifice your body was pretty in your face why there was a “curse”.
  21. It was a block in the back or late hit
  22. Jack and Rose are both fitting on that
