Doubled standard. It's a conflicting race matter, but I get it. It comes more understanding when you know blacks can come in all shades, including "white" but whites can't produce anything darker naturally unless there's black in the ancestry somewhere. The different shades of black to the point it can produce something white makes it acceptable for a white looking person to be black than the other way around. The last thing racist white society would want is a BLACK looking person calling themselves white even if they're half or have a portion of white heritage in them because black is dominant and seen as a taint and thus nothing "white" can purify it to make that person call themselves white. But a white looking person with black in them would be considered tainted and thus, seen as black.
I hope that made somewhat of sense, but that's the best I can explain it.
Well that needs to change because that is practically harmless. We'll be having a whole bunch of charges if that's the case and for the ones that do get made, very little about it gets done because of how meaningless it actually is. I remember watching a reality show where a woman got arrested for spitting on someone which was seen as "assault". Is it wrong? Yes, but not to that extent.
He was temporarily a few times during Season 6 and 7, but they realized the show didn't really need a D.A. because there was hardly any courtroom drama scenes. The show relied more on the police investigation. This was heavily clear during those first five seasons. Most of the time, you never saw Carver that active in the courtroom. He was always at the station dealing with the detectives while they were investigating or going places with them while handling a suspect. He was rather a wasted character.
He gave her a shove. That's not really assault. He of course knew what he was doing because it was clear he was trying to get her to attack him and it worked. But like I said, it could have been way worse. It was just tame enough for him to avoid a charge if it came down to it.
I went to watch this episode to see what you mean, and I barely call that assault. He simply bumped her. He didn't flat out hit her or handle her like she did him in return which was complete overreaction. I guess you can say he was sneaky in how to get her in their custody knowing she would react so defensively, but it could have been far worse. He's no Mike Logan or Elliot Stabler who have done much more to get what they wanted out of a potential suspect. In the end, it turns out the woman didn't even do the crime, but for the time being she did come off very suspect. For the most part, Cyrus is fair and a chill dude. I had no issues with him as a character during his time on the show.
Off-topic, but the format of the episode is rather interesting. I like it when the police and lawyers are more involved together during an investigation and it's refreshing to not see an actual trial happen. The show should have been more like this because for there to always be a trial, and very quickly at that, just got ridiculous. We needed more episodes like this to balance out the trial based ones.
I just think limiting it to just New York City was a mistake. This should have been an all over the country thing, maybe even taking it to other countries in later seasons if we really wanted to broaden things. And given how real court cases are that are handled in a much slower and timely fashion, that could also be handled more accurately. Doing it the way we know it, I've always had issues with this because we get 20+ episodes a year with different stories and you're telling me all these trials are happening so swiftly at once? And in real life, trials don't even happen all like that because it's a huge expensive thing to do. So my idea would work better for something like this that's to go on for 20+ episodes a season.
If you pay attention to the trailers where we see the Ooompa Loompa, then the 1971 version is an instant pick. However, the movie comes off very fantasy-like to even be a prequel to that movie. In a way, it could have been a prequel to the 2005 version if you were to remove the 1971 references this movie has since the 2005 version has the fantasy style look to it.
Overall, the movie seems to be its own thing just based off the 1971 version. An alternate prequel if you will, which is so dumb to me. Like why even bother? You were best just having this be its own thing without the 1971 version references.
Are you dumb. He was a murderer and was clearly guilty. There was no rumor here dude. And he did get a fair trial that actually granted his acquittal over a technicality mistake. The parents had every reason to hunt him down and kill him because he got away with everything and the legal system made things worse with their stupid laws that helped get him off.
I think there were scenes in the English version that were dubbed over because the English lines did not match the mouth, like in the scene at the end when Van Helsing gets arrested. Those voices were definitely dubbed.
You can see for yourself here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sncs7Hivx3Y at 1:16:03 in. I went to look for the line myself.
The answer is literally above by a user from eight years ago. You would know that if you were reading the comments before making this useless one.
Hey, maybe Gale just didn't want the attention and Jennifer did seem like one of those obsessive fan types that can be overbearing. She also gave off the vibe that she could be a better Gale than Gale herself, which could also be irritating and thus Gale would want to keep her distance.
Meh, they both could have lived. Gale is actually better this time around than in the previous movies that Sidney gives her a hug than hitting her this time, haha.
They brought her back because it was HER story. It started with her mother getting killed for having an affair and then carried over when the mother of the man she murdered wanted revenge and then Cotton Weary wanting answers. Then you have her in 3 to give backstory on Maureen, though the whole half brother thing did not need to be there at all and we got little time to invest in it as they killed Roman quickly after that revelation. Scream 4 obviously needed her because you had this relative that felt overshadowed by her. I mean, this was always Sidney's story and progression. It was never something that could or needed to be just some new batch of characters like what they are trying to do now which is silly because all these Ghostfaces this far into the timeline is just ridiculous now. What started off as something to trouble Sidney which frankly had its end with the third movie became just a recurring gag for anyone to do for the sake of doing it.
I think he was just quietly phased out. The lack of screentime this dude was given on both the revival and this show is jarring. They clearly had no love for him. I mean, you bring in characters like Louise, as if Dan needed another wife THIS early anyway after losing the first one of how many decades, Ned, Ben, etc. and give them more screentime than one of the OG Roseanne characters, something is not right here. They were best just killing him off too or sending him to the same vortex they would send Jerry and Andy too.
They aged her by like two years. She should be like three years old now, but she is like five going on six. I hate when shows do that because it just messes with the continuity.
It would be, but it all comes out down to how the actors and electrical equipment can handle it. Not that other movies did not accomplish this, but shooting in bad weather can be tricky.
I did like that Terminator Salvation broke away from the formula and showed us the world after Judgement Day started, but I think the series was best off as a trilogy and ending where it began and showing the future could not really be changed after all of the attempts to do so. As for Scream, Scream 4 seemed lacking and came off mediocre. It had a nice angle with the whole remake thing, but could have been executed better. Scream 5 was just horrible. Too many characters, half of them didn't even need to be in the story, others should have had bigger roles, etc. just things I would have done differently. Billy Loomis having a daughter made no sense and we don't even journey with her to discover this, it's sort of thrown at us off the bat and we never even meet the mother. How is Sam even seeing a man she never even met. If anything, that should have been Sidney's arc where she hallucinates Billy as she actually saw him like that. Scream 6 was just slightly better than 5, but still a lackluster movie to me with its loads of issues and motives being silly.
Except when you have been the star focus for so many films and the whole story started out with you, it's kind of hard to just move on. Had these sequels started off with new characters and faces entirely then it's easier to swallow, but frankly both franchises did not need to go on as long as they did. Terminator should have ended after the third movie and Scream should have ended after the third movie too.
This movie still has issues because of story threads that are not tightly resolved. But if you ask me, Stallone never should have been involved to begin with as majorly as he did. The first CREED did not need to have him around so much and would have flowed better had he just had a glorified cameo and someone else who KNEW Rocky had trained Adonis instead and we had Rocky show up a couple times and that's it. Then Creed II could have given him something a bit bigger but not to the extent he is a main character, just to show audiences this is not about Rocky anymore nor is he an asset to THIS series.
Creed I and II relied too much on Rocky it became a worry if this series could even continue without him. But I'm glad now they made that move cutting him entirely and the movie is still getting some good reception. So going forward, they see they can do this without Stallone. Getting rid of Rocky was also good for the growth of Adonis to see how he handles things on his own as a character.
