Because she said yes?
I wouldn't rank it as the all-time best only because there are so many great ones. Looking at Macbeth alone, there's this, the Welles version and the Kurosawa version, top-tier classics all. I definitely think Polanski was the best of that batch but others could make arguments for any of them. There are a lot of great "lesser" versions too.
Yeah, "Hamlet" ain't exactly "Much Ado About Nothing." If you're watching it for "joy and humor," you've been badly misled about the nature of the material.
And at the same time, too pathetic to be a proper Bond villain.
If you love the movies, it's must-see--an absolute blast from beginning to unfortunately-premature end.
I did, but now, it links to a much smaller image.
The correct answer is Dana DeLorenzo from ASH VS. THE EVIL DEAD.

Yeah, Una O'Connor was to THE BRIDE OF FRANKENSTEIN what Chris Tucker was to THE 5th ELEMENT--something that director found to be absolutely hilarious but that was, to everyone else in the world, as humorous as a gangrenous limb.
Yes, RAIDERS is very much a movie made in that way, a time when it was understood that to sell something implausible, one must make it and everything that unspools around it seem as plausible as possible. By TEMPLE OF DOOM, that was long gone, and it and the other Indy sequels are godawful for it.
Not sure if it's more sad or more chilling that people instinctively reach for this sort of nonsense.
Lefty here--the guy who posted this topic. Don't have much good to say about Biden. But this is a more important issue than the usual performative party food-fights.
I don't know, mate--it seems more like the overflowing box itself.
No, no one is.
Seriously though, it's a godawful show. Marvel allowing this character, who would have been one of their best projects, to be molested in this way is a criminal offense.
Very pleased this survives.
"Have a potato."
If no declassification process was followed--and, indeed, Trump made up his lie about "declassifying" this material only a few weeks ago--the executive branch, staffed by a president and underlings who are incapable of telepathy, will continue to regard these as classified documents. And they get the final say on that.
The latest news is that Trump filed a sort of "appeal" to the U.S. Supreme Court, arguing without any legal reasoning that the 11th Circuit was wrong to vacate "Judge" Cannon's injunction with regard to allowing the Dept. of Justice to continue its investigation into the classified material Trump had stolen. To even have a chance of winning, Trump would have to successfully argue that he would suffer irreparable harm if the USSC failed to act; his lawyers' long brief doesn't even make any case for his suffering any harm at all (and, in fact, there is no such case). Trump's notion that the 11th doesn't have jurisdiction over its own district isn't going anywhere.
At the same time, the 11th Circuit agreed to hear the DoJ's appeal of "Judge" Cannon's lawless ruling assuming over this case jurisdiction she did not have, granting Trump standing he did not have and then appointing a Special Master. Though only narrowly considering the matter of Cannon's refusal to modify her injunction re:the classified material, the 11th already tore her "reasoning" to shreds. So this "Special Master" farce and the "Judge" Cannon farce will be over soon.
In the Supreme Court case, Trump's lawyers argued for an emergency intervention to speed up the process; in their response to the 11th Circuit, they argued for delaying it until next year.
He seemed to see his candidacy then his presidency as basically a money-making exercise. He's still making a lot of money off it, still, among other things, charging the Secret Service rent--exorbitant rent--to stay at his properties and protect him.

Trump made up the "I declassified them" lie a few weeks ago. Not only is there no record of any such thing before that, Trump never asserted that in any of his interactions with NARA, the FBI or, now, with the courts. Presidents change; the executive branch goes on. If the executive branch--the sitting executive branch--says documents are classified, that's the final word on the subject.
It's a good moment--for the 5th installment of a slasher series, a brilliant one. But a lot of H5 was like that, trying to take the movies in some new and more interesting directions instead of just repeating the same old routine. It's criminal how underappreciated it is.
