Sounds like she sobered up.
It doesn't matter how super-jacked or trained any of these people are, I want to say that two or three trained guys will take them down. These fights would go to the ground, then you have the stomping, and it's over. One dude tangles you up, the other wails on you, it's over. You got six fists coming at you? You have a guy pinning down half your body whilst also kneeing you? It's over.
The difference between males and females is that if a man delivers a blow, it can cause damage. He does not have to be unusually big or strong or trained. A guy who is 5'6" 155lbs is little, but he's not nuthin'. He's a helluva lot more dangerous than Charlize Theron. The average man's grip strength is in the 99th percentile of females.
I think a lot of the arguments in this thread about "family" and "vulnerability" are ad hoc rationalizations. People may say they would never support evil, but history demonstrates otherwise.
Why do we like Neil and his crew? Because they're fascinating. They're exceptionally good at what they do. Were you interested in them after the armor car robbery? Of course. It's the same thing with the Tom Cruise character in Collateral.
Being interesting also means behaving in a way that is not predictable. Neil wraps his woman's glass in a paper towel, demonstrating that he's considerate. Cruise's Vincent buys Max's mother flowers. He's seemingly reluctant to gun down a jazz musician.
Can the mustache-twirling villain fascinate us? Sure. We expect them to do something predictably evil, and then they do something far more evil.
It's kind of funny because the men in this thread offering such rationalizations would roll their eyes at the real life women who fall in love with murderous psychopaths. "Riiiiiiiight. He's misunderstood. Deep down he's a sweet fella."
What about Swagger practicing a shot with the dog nearby? The dog did not have any ear protection.
This is such nonsense. Why would Cruise's people want to publicize trouble on the set? It's going to make insurance claims that much more difficult (which could shut down production).
Five crew members quit today. It was leaked to hurt him.
I'm basing that off multiple reports over the years of volcanic temper. People claim he screams until exhaustion. I am a little surprised audio has not leaked, but when are presidents secretly recorded by others? There was the telephone call with Bush Jr. admitting(?) to drug use, but I can't recall anything else.
This stuff is always amusing. And what happens when Bill O'Reilly loses his temper? Or Donald Trump? Or Christian Bale?
I'm a fan of his movies, but he sounded like an angry drunk. The way he spoke made it seem his main was the movie industry rather than people's health & safety, so a lot of the praise he's receiving seems misplaced. Also misplaced are the criticisms about him being a millionaire who could pay for/donate blah blah blah as well as the anti-Scientologists who need the thinnest pretext to launch into their hobby-horse. A less charitable but still plausible criticism is that he was mostly concerned about this particular production (that's when he became most livid, as I recall).
But again, Cruise definitely wants to promote the industry as a whole. It's why he did publicized seeing Tenet in a theater.
"Depp’s exes, many of whom have already testified in the actor’s trials — or may soon be forced to do so for an early 2021 suit. Clockwise from top left: Keira Knightley, Ellen Barkin, Angelina Jolie, Vanessa Paradis, Marion Cotillard and Lori Anne Allison."
WTF? He dated Knightley and Jolie?
I'm inclined to agree, but I'm not a fan of "auteur" theory in general. Film is collaborative, so it's kind of silly when someone claims authorship. That said, if anyone should claim authorship, then it's a writer-director, especially for an original work (as opposed to an adaptation). As noted, Fincher brings his own distinct visual style, but that's not enough.
A British writer made an interesting comparison back in the 80s when Newton's *Principia* was slated to celebrate its 300th anniversary. It's a monumental work, but he said that if he had to choose between *Principia* and any landmark work of fiction, then the former would have to go. Someone surely would have eventually discovered the inverse square-law (and did). The same goes for other scientific works, where there's a convergence on truth (someone other than Darwin would have discovered the theory of natural selection (and did)). Fincher's craftsmanship is far ahead of most others in the industry, but movies are constantly improving in terms of production values. Movies like Zodiac and Fight Club could have existed if Fincher had never been born; but they wouldn't exist without their authors.
Yes, yes, and Hillary Clinton is on the verge of death.
I'm not familiar with these blocked windows. I'm sure you imagine the most nefarious reasons. Also, I'm not familiar with a cheering when a GOP poll watcher was removed, but I wouldn't be surprised if s/he was behaving inappropriately (hence the removal).
I keep asking for evidence of fraud, and both of you Costellos come up with nothing.
Why is this only happening in blue districts? Can you imagine why? Because you
Blue districts are still counting votes. Why are they still counting votes? Why weren't these mail-in ballots counted earlier? Hmmm...
You guys are kooks.
Don't be daft. Poll watchers had always been allowed, but not as many were permitted and they had to be further away. Why do you think that is? Could it be for the same reason we have so many mail-in ballots this year? Is there, I dunno, a deadly pathogen going around? Oh, I forgot, the disease is also a hoax.
Is this your only talking point? It was addressed earlier.
I dunno, you need to, like, git gud at math. There are powerful statistical tools that can be used to uncover voting irregularities. If you believe an inordinantly high number of ballots have come in for Biden, then it wouldn't be that difficult to prove.
In 2016, Pennsylvanianianianretards gave about 2.9 million votes to Trump and a similar number to Clinton. So far it's looking like about 3.2 million for Trump and 3.2 million for Biden. Is this prima facie evidence that both candidates are stuffing ballot boxes? No. Voting is up in general across the board.
ETA: Trump's relative strength is more suspicious because it's a bigger departure from the polling. Again, though, we can compare Trump's relative performance in swing states vs. non-swing states for actual evidence before hurling accusations.
Is it surprising that Biden has more people voting by mail? No. He encouraged his supporters to vote by mail. It's time to stop throwing tantrums and dispassionately analyze the evidence.
Why check temperatures? Have cameras. Eyes miss things. Observers interfere.
Geez, you're dumb. We have grocery stores that are open exclusively to the elderly on certain days at certain times. We've had states conduct their elections entirely through the mail. I prefer to mail in my ballot rather than wait in line, and I order some of groceries to be delivered rather than going to the store.
That said, let's get back to your evidence because you haven't presented any. What do you have indicating fraud? Please don't tell me your argument is that Democrats are trying to steal this by getting more people to vote.
They shouldn't have to but there IS a pandemic. I'd prefer cameras.
And what evidence do you have? If they're only filling in the tops of fraudulent ballots, as you claim, then we should see those irregularities. In fact, you're just making things up as you go along. This is self-deception.
Don't you think it's odd that Democrats somehow lost seats in the House, and failed to "steal" the Senate? Has it not occurred to you that maybe, just maybe, Trump ran a shit campaign? He blew through over 700 million dollars. They spent a million bucks on ads in DC! (For an audience of one.)
He behaved like a coked up seal at the first debate. A deadly disease killed over 200,000 Americans. He barely, barely won in 2016. You can't wrap your little mind around Trump (who was NOT a favorite) losing the election?
What impossibilities? Be specific. Who are the dead people who voted? What is your evidence?
There was a Trump supporter claiming she was denied the right to vote. It turns out she was trying to vote (you guessed it) a second time. The most notorious recent case of ballot-boxing stuff came courtesy of a Republican from South Carolina.
The 2021 GOP Congressional delegation will have more QAnon supporters than African-Americans.
What is your evidence? Where are there irregularities?
