If they had, they would have called them to testify in the trial.
There's something you should think about: why these 79 women didn't tell anybody about it until the witch-hunt started?
79 women... I guess they should have told family, brothers, sisters, parents, friends, lawyers, therapists... but no, they didn't tell anybody. Food for thoughts.
<blockquote>Confused? Double thinking?</blockquote>
Just thinking. It's a healthy habit. You should try.
<blockquote>no that's NOT what trans is, that is what intersex is</blockquote>
Again: an intersex person has sex characteristics from the sex opposed to his/her chromosomal sex <b>without</b> medical intervention.
<blockquote>Endosex has clear male or female characteristics, and contradicts your first statement.</blockquote>
Again: endosex have clear male or female sex characteristics <b>without</b> medical intervention. A medical treatment can change that.
<blockquote>Through medical treatment the biological characteristics are NOT changed. Only certain characteristics can change, chemically, but still those are against the biology</blockquote>
Sex characteristics that changed because of HRT <i>can't</i> be against biology for one simple reason: biology is not an ideology.
<blockquote>Bill Cosby was allegedly doing the same thing. Women were not willingly taking drugs from him. He was slipping them in their drinks, and they'd wake up in a bed, having been violated by him.</blockquote>
Cosby was a very known figure. If that had happened, there would have been rumors about it since the 80s. <b>There weren't</b>. This was not about some Hollywood open secret that finally reaches the court. The whole Cosby thing <i>started with the trial</i> and the media starting the witch-hunt... and that happened right after his famous Pound Cake Speech. Oops, what a coincidence.
Compare with Harvey Weinstein, where hearsay happened <i>for years</i> before the trial and before the media widely engaged that topic.
It was the trendy drug in Hollywood back then, and people used to combine sex and drugs. They took them voluntarily, so I don't see the problem.
<blockquote>Except for the drugging and raping women part</blockquote>
...which was never proven. The only evidence was accusers' testimony.
Masada. It's an old great TV mini series about the Zealot cult holding out in Masada against Romans.

Intersex have a mix of sexual characteristics by default.
Through medical treatment, an endosex person (not intersex) can reach a mix of sex characteristics. The same way, through medical treatment, an intersex person can have sex characteristics corresponding to one specific sex, instead of some middle point.
Some biological elements can not change.
Some others can.
A trans person is neither a biological male nor a biological female. Biologically, he/she has elements from both sexes, you can't categorize that combination under one specific sex.
You could use "natal male" if you wish, "biological male" is not correct.
That would have been a great twist 😂
Or maybe Sauron has been the real Galadriel all along, and the Galadriel we met in the Lord of the Rings was just a doppleganger placed by Gandalf to prevent the Elves from running away, which would explain why that Galadriel and Gandalf are so close.
I love Oldfield more than any other musician, but Don Alfonso is just... embarrassing.

Comparing with with his music when he's inspired, it's like night and day.

I agree. I'd label these two groups as the emotional vs the intellectual ones.
<blockquote>He's our modern-day Spielberg</blockquote>
That's too much of a stretch. Spielberg is probably the greatest pop-corn director in history. There's no director right now that can compare to him during the 80s. Indeed, there's very few ones that could compare to him <i>in that style</i>. You have Hitchcock, of course, and maybe Michael Curtiz, or Howard Hawks, or DW Griffith, I don't know.
That said, if I had to pick a couple of directors in the pop-corn genre right now, it would be Nolan and Favreau.
Denzel Washington (father) would have been a great lead too (if he was younger). I guess he must be white, according to you.
Daniel Craig would have been great. I think he's a moron. As an actor, he's one of the best leads in Hollywood hands down.
Pattinson and Debicki were the best ones by far. Brannagh was a bit overacted in my opinion. Washington Jr was awful. He screwed the movie.
Jake Gyllenhaal or Ryan Gosling as leads? Not with Pattinson.
Pattinson already has that "weird" vibe, like Gosling or Gyllenhaal, or Mat Smith, or David Tennant, or Hugo Weaving, or Michael Sheen, or Joseph Gordon-Levitt, to name a few. There's no problem with one single "weird" actor. Pairing two or more with that same vibe, it only works if you're doing dark comedy. You need balance, the weird one and the serious one. You can't have two "weird" ones in an action thriller.
More than "being better", it's about being the pioneers. Asian horror as a modern genre was born in the late 90s and early 2000s thanks to Hideo Nakata and Takashi Shimizu (mostly), and some others like Takashi Miike or some other minor horror directors.
Modern western horror is a copycat of it.
The thing with horror is that you get used to it. Ringu, or Ju-On, or Dark Water, or Shutter, or similar movies don't seem scary anymore because you've seen that same type of horror repeatedly during the last 20 years. But back then it was something new. It was something you hadn't seen before. And it was SCARY AS HELL.
I couldn't help imagining Clint Eastwood vs Pinhead in that scene "<i>Nice chains, but this is a 44 Magnum, so do you feel lucky, Pinkie?</i>" 🤣
<blockquote>He also directed "Iron Man" which set up the entire MCU.</blockquote>
Don't forget he directed The Jungle Book, which was the template followed by the late Disney live-action remakes.
He created the template followed by the Marvel movies, by the Disney live-action remakes and by the Star Wars series. He's probably the most underrated director right now.
Thanks for the rec! I've watched the trailer and absolutely loved it. It's brilliant.
Quick pro quo, if you wanna check a surprisingly funny and unknown gem, try Death Valley

<blockquote>Well?</blockquote>
It depends. Do you plan to cover up the well after throwing the guy down to it or would you let him get out?
