CNN Sues White House to Get Jim Accoster's Credentials Restored; Sarah Sanders Says Nah Brah
How could women (both real and pretend) feel safe around this toxic male?
Sarah Sanders called the move "more grandstanding from CNN."The judge assigned to this nuisance-suit isn't a liberal, which was CNN's only chance:
@JenniferJJacobs
"Just more grandstanding from CNN, and we will vigorously defend against this lawsuit," @PressSec says. "CNN, who has nearly 50 additional hard pass holders, and Mr. Acosta is no more or less special than any other media outlet or reporter with respect to the 1st Amendment." @JenniferJJacobs
"White House cannot run an orderly and fair press conference when a reporter acts this way, which is neither appropriate nor professional. The 1st Amendment is not served when a single reporter, of more than 150 present, attempts to monopolize the floor." -Sarah Huckabee Sanders
@chrisgeidner Update: The CNN lawsuit against Trump has been assigned to Judge Timothy J. Kelly, a Trump appointee who was a former counsel to Chuck Grassley.By the way: This AP story claims the gif of Acosta swiping away the woman's arm was "doctored," even though experts have debunked that. They'll lie and lie and lie to protect the Guild. This video debunks another claim made in Accoster's defense: The bizarre claim that he did not push away the 105-pound young woman's arm, and maybe her arm just moved downwards on its own. But if that were the case, why would Accoster's arm move downward with it? Was his arm magnetically attached to hers so that when her arm moved own, his arm moved down in sync with it? More: Jim Accoster is a whiny little bitch.
In his declaration in support of CNN's suit against White House officials, @acosta claims that @realDonaldTrump rhetoric has had a direct impact on his life. pic.twitter.com/YEUvNKtLb9

But seriously, the Fields/Lewandowski thing wasn't some offhand moment in the primary that the NeverTrumpers whined about. For many, and especially with Shapiro, it was a defining moment when Trump was seen as a thug and a horrible man that must be opposed on all fronts.
So this switch in stance of yanking and jostling reporters about is...odd. Considering it was a major plank of the NeverTrump/AlwaysCuck movement.

Since CNN is suing the WH and the Secret Service, I think they should

of the lawsuit filed, it is best that both parties disengage from each
other and maintain their distance.

The White House is well within it's prerogatives to deny any member of the press access to the White House for any reason.
The didn't revoke his press credentials all they did was revoke his day pass which would allow him to enter the White House.
Apparently Republican administrations aren't allowed to control access to the White House now.

Not even a remote exaggeration. Ask the dames who run domestic violence programs. They'll tell you, because they see these cases over and over and over again. The guy says he took her cell phone away from her, and when she went to try to get it back from him, he pushed her arm away.

Yeah, I'll modify my attempt at pithy to go into just a bit more detail:
The two main gladiator fights (the one you describe, and the Battle of Carthage) are great, but they amount to about 15 minutes of a two-hour movie where the rest of it is just so deathly serious that I just can't get into the movie as a whole.

Yeah, that was a bad call. But the ref who threw the flag was screened from the offensive player by the defensive player who pitched forward suddenly, so it looked like the latter had been blocked from behind.

Yep. Acosta never "laid hands" or "put hands" on her. I suppose their definition of both excludes a short karate chop.
Also, she was "in his space" and shouldn't have grabbed for the microphone.
Basically, Acosta is their Mary Sue. They don't get the opportunity to berate Trump to his face, so they are happy to see Acosta be as rude to Trump as possible, because they would be that rude and worse if they could.

Yeah, I'll modify my attempt at pithy to go into just a bit more detail:
The two main gladiator fights (the one you describe, and the Battle of Carthage) are great, but they amount to about 15 minutes of a two-hour movie where the rest of it is just so deathly serious that I just can't get into the movie as a whole.

Well movies, and what moves a person, are subjective.
It isn't a 'happy' movie. It's not Ben Hur. The 'happy ending' for Maximus is avenging his wife and then dying and going to see her again. That's why the Lisa Gerrard soundtrack works so well for the flick.
But along the way you get Oliver Reed's last role, you get brotherhood, you get Richard Harris's Marcus Aurelius, you get scene-chewing villany, and an amazing CGI recreation of Imperial Rome. Fine stuff to me. Not flawless, not by a long shot. But fine cinema.

I don't need things to be happy. Out of all the emotions a movie can make me feel, the one I appreciate most is actually sadness.
But the incessantly dour tone of Gladiator prevents me from getting into it.
I always think of the scene where Commodus' sister (can't remember names...) comes to see Maximus in prison.
It's dark, lit by candles, looks good, but the emotions all ring false to me. Like I don't understand their relationship emotionally well enough to get invested in the conflict between them.

Now that I think about it, IIRC the Forever War guy wrote something later about a virtual reality training system put into place where the soldiers started out as cavemen bashing each other's faces in with rocks and virtually progressed through different stages of military strategy as individuals capable of virtually dying in each one (they stayed alive, it was just training).
Neat idea.

That relationship isn't well developed but it works for me. They met, long ago. She still has feelings for him. But he put his whole soul into his wife and child. With them gone, there's nothing there for him to offer her, not even his body.
Maximus is a walking dead man from the moment his family is butchered. Gladiator is a revenge flick. That's how you have to weigh it.

If you want to know what power looks like, watch a man safely, even smugly, do interviews for decades, without ever worrying whether he will be asked the questions he doesn't want to answer. But in June of this year, during an interview on NBC, Craig Melvin asked Bill Clinton those questions. Was I owed a direct apology from him? Bill's indignant answer: "No."

One of his best collabs. He did it twice, actually. The Belasarious series (starting with 'An Oblique Approach') is written with Eric Flint and feels like Eric's work.
And his 'Forge' series with S.M. Stirling. (Starting with 'The Forge') It's sci-fi stage dressing around the story of Belasarius and Justianian.

I'm binge watching Oak Island. I had never seen it before yesterday and now I've seen a whole season.
There's one part where a guy comes back from the Halifax archives and says he's got eight pages of a ship's log, hand written, and he's transcribed them. Nothing about the source or whatever, but the log seems to describe a treasure boat about to put treasure on our island.
It's from a French fleet. Waiting for a French guy (who gets dead instead). And the handwriting is in English.
Everybody says "wow, that sounds like an awesome bit of evidence". Nobody says "why is it in English?"

I've never read the book, and I know people get awfully mad about this topic, but I think the hate people fire at the movie is misplaced.
The movie version, done by Paul Verhoeven, gets essentially the same tone and treatment as Robocop. It's done as satire.
Now, I understand the book is not that at all, and people don't like him using the source material that way.
Fine. Make the movie again.
But the one that was made, was good. Biting and prescient in its own way.

But surely every freelancer in the country would have this "right." In fact, every individual would have it, whether a professional or not. Do I lose my right to freedom of speech because I am not PAID to speak?!? Why then would I lose the mystical "right" to access?

The anger comes from the idea that Verhoeven thought the book was fascist, so he made an anti-fascist movie in response.
The irony is, the book actually is anti-fascist, so you have two anti-fascist works on the same material coming from very different places.
Also, the movie doesn't have the power suits, which people have a shocking emotional attachment to.

Trump answered Acosta's question, but then Acosta challenged Trump and started speechifying about why the "hard-working, job-seeking, innocent migrants" are not invaders, but just "poor, victimized migrants looking for a break."
Trump had every right to cut him off. If Acosta wants to debate Trump, let him throw his hat in the 2020 ring and become a candidate. Meanwhile, he's supposed to be a journalist asking questions, not a politician trying to prove he's better than Trump.

That's a stupid way of phrasing it. Nationalism should be a broad enough concept that allows for people of different races and religions to be united in their adherence to the principles of a nation. But to say that it is or necessitates a nation of every different race or religion is just retarded. Leftards get under the skin of otherwise sensible conservatives and cause them to feel obligated to spout leftist bullshit to prove how "open minded" they are. The camel's nose under the tent.

He played Martin Guerre with Loxley's widow. Where have you seen that before?

Probably not that blatant but like the rulings on the DACA, he can drag his feet for a long long time while he's busy doing other things.
They keep forgetting EO's. Obama did em and so can Trump.
Keep them busy filing suits and they don't have much time to do much else.
Meanwhile his real goal of getting conservatives on all the courts will proceed on schedule. It's already paying off.

If I remember correctly, they all still think that it's a simulation in the movie.
The problem is probably related to the presentation of the simulation. Realistic looking ships fighting other realistic looking ships that undermine the idea that it's just a game.
I do think that that pulls against the film, but that it still works.

In a film, it's more "show" and not "tell." Very difficult to convey that growth in a way that doesn't lose the audience. In practical terms, you have two hours of visuals and dialogue.
On film it runs the risk of being very repetitive. Much more efficient to show it as it was in the movie, and let the audience fill in the blanks. Especially since the stage was set in the first part of the movie with Ender explaining why he beat the hell out of the bully...you know his mindset, you see it applied, and the audience is given enough to go from A to B.

Posted by: jakee308 at November 13, 2018 02:17 PM (P16Qe)
It lost some in that Ender wasn't as brutal as he was in the books, and the training wasn't as cruel. Obviously they couldn't have nakey kids floating around in 0 G and I'm glad they left out that terrible "smart kids on the internet save the world" crap as well as the awful religion stuff at the end. But it was disappointing.
Along the lines of spoiled surprises, I got a cheap copy of Stunt Man (with Peter O'Toole, Steve Railsback, and Barbara Hershey). That movie completely blew my mind in the 1980s because its never what you expect and there are so many tricks and deceptive shots etc.
It holds up well but the surprises are all gone, so I knew what was coming, and it was a lot less powerful. O'Toole is magnificent as the brilliant, manipulative, soulless director and Railsback was a lot better than I remembered. Hershey is awful, she's a terrible actress.

Every version of the story tries to do something a little different, but IMO they only nibble around the edges and din't take major risks.
Except the Disney one-- God damn furries. That one is absolutely shocking.

Who decides who is a "news" organization?
Posted by: Sharkman at November 13, 2018 02:09 PM (BfOXk)
-----------------------------
I'll tell you who DOESN'T decide and that's judge or any politico.
It doesn't matter whether CNN is a "news" organization or not. There are thousands of "news" papers, mags, blogs in this country and they don't get to access the WH press room.
There is a right to say and write what you please but no right to access, not even if you're a Big, Fat Corporation. Otherwise we could ALL swarm the WH every day.

Did you see how the academy created a new category (based on popularity) to ensure this movie got an award - and the makers of Black Panther said no, they want to win Best Picture. Aaand the academy quickly backtracked on the new category. Never mind!
Posted by: Lizzy at November 13, 2018 02:21 PM (W+vEI)
===========
And the irony to me is that Black Panther is the worst Marvel movie, but because it's "important" in some way the Academy finds important, it has a serious shot.
It's no different than Midnight winning.

They didn't pull it off. 10 years from now people will rightly view that as the worst Avengers movie and a disappointment. Its just that people like the characters so much, trust Marvel so much, and are so emotionally invested in the entire franchise, they look past how poorly done it really was.
Posted by: Christopher R Taylor at November 13, 2018 02:21 PM (39g3+)
Nonsense. It has reversals, it moves fast, it provides a very real threat for the Avengers, one that actually overcomes them in the end.
And giving the audience the characters they love should be lauded, not marked against it.
The sheer size and complexity of the task before them is daunting. Then add in a villain and his sidekicks, most of whom have more personality and distinctiveness themselves to overshadow main characters is lesser films. (I liked Ebony Maw and the lizard man particularly)

I knew an old guy who was sharp as a tack and very friendly. He basically decided to be Jimmy Stewart in Harvey. He'd be friendly with kids, teenagers, moms, etc. If anyone got a little weird about it, he'd put on his "confused old man" act and escape the situation. I loved watching him, it was always so wholesome.

18 U.S. Code 111 - Assaulting, resisting. orimpeding certain officers or employees
https://tinyurl.com/yaktvwlc
It calls for up to one year and a fine for simple assault. (no touching)
Physical contact with the victim increases the penalty to up to EIGHT YEARS!!!
Put him in the slammer for the rest of Trump's two terms for being a leader of the Resist and Obstruct Movement.
