It says something that upon seeing the thread title, I knew exactly what it was referring to. Blackbeard's fate was brutal, all right. And the guy never said a word of protest. Defiant until the end, no matter the extreme suffering. When they first rigged him up I said to my wife, "They're going to keelhaul him." She said, "What's that?" I said, rather despairingly, "You're about to find out." Never change, Millsey. This post was deleted because I bought it an ice cream. LOL, no. You're thinking of one of the extras in the swimming pool scene. Bibi was played by ice skater and actress Lynn-Holly Johnson. It's because the rights to the Blofeld character were disputed at the time. Notice they never say the name of the character. That scene was really just to needle the guy who was claiming he owned the rights to the character. LOL In regard to #8, I think Bond does pay her. You can see him hand her something as he says to send the flowers to the funeral. Probably a wad of cash. Something like 82% of "Palestinians" in the West Bank supported the October 7 pogrom. A two-state solution ain't happening. Technically, the two-state solution already happened with the formation of Israel and Jordan. But the Arabs in that area simply despise Jews and can't stand them being in that part of the world. That's the only reason Jordan isn't enough for them. They want it all. And I put "Palestinian" in quotes because they are a fictitious people. They are Arabs, indistinguishable from any other Arabs. There is no distinct Palestinian language or culture. The Romans renamed the land "Palestine" just as a way to insult the Jews, since the Philistines were an ancient enemy of theirs. That's it. The land is Israel. The Jews were there first. It's not like the Jews put the Temple under the Dome. Arabs put the dome on top of the Jewish temple. Negotiate in good faith with Hamas? Go back to sleep. Yes, I can see that a one million dollar profit on a 300 million dollar investment isn't great. But a 100 million dollar profit on a 300 million dollar investment certainly is. They looked fine on the big screen. Not perfect, but miles better than any other de-aging in other films. His vague plan was to kill millions of people through DNA-targeting nanobots. We never learn which people were being targeted, but it's a safe bet Safin was pure evil. More than most of the others put together. Quite the oversight in the list. Paloma is another oversight with a high kill count. Quite possibly. It's the kind of casting I'd expect in a comic book movie or a space opera, not a movie aspiring to something more realistic. Pretty remarkable that Biden won nearly 13 million more votes than Barack Obama while winning hundreds fewer counties than Barack Obama. Like it or not, massive cheating is a plausible explanation for such an odd scenario. Otherwise, Biden just happened to get a crazy number of votes from urban areas without cheating. You decide how likely you think that is. "Russia's efforts" LOL! Are you talking about the $150,000 spent on Facebook ads? The ones that trashed both Hillary and Trump? All Russia wants is to sow discord in the USA. That's it. They have succeeded magnificently thanks to gullible people like you. Oh, baloney. He wanted Hillary to lose, that's not the same thing. Trump blocked Putin's #1 geopolitical goal, the Nord Stream pipeline. Biden rolled right over on it. The idea that Trump was in Putin's pocket was always ridiculous. "Colluding with Russians" LOL! The Steele dossier was LITERALLY the Hillary Clinton campaign conspiring with Russians to win the election. They paid Steele to dig up dirt on Trump, Steele in turn used sources with ties to the Kremlin. That's more evidence of Russian collusion than anything in Trump's orbit.
