Lesson to campaign lawyers - this means that your clients need to find ways to borrow as much money as they personally can prior to any campaign (hopefully several million). Loan this money you have obtained personally to your campaign. Then , once the campaign starts you can also solicit campaign "donations". After it is all over, use the campaign "donations" to pay off all of your personal loans.

My sense is that a Disney producer surveyed the Fox catalogue and said, "This will make good gender-bending fodder about how strong womens could kill the baddies of the universe in the face of sexism."

The director made 10 Cloverfield Lane, which I love and is a great piece of tension-based filmmaking, so I have a feeling that, given the assignment, he did his level best and we'll get a really good and entertaining example of "grrl power".

Why should I care that he's "evolved" to leftist authoritarianism? Here's what I know- he's a narcissistic, murdering scumbag who decided he has the right of life and death over others and exercised it.

471 Atomic Blonde

That movie had potential but when Theron starts beating up guy's literally twice her size it gets comical.

Also the french spy she has sex with isn't a woman. As in the actual actor I suppose the character is supposed to be since trannies weren't a common thing back then.

473 408 >>>We don't have songs about cars anymore, kids don't get driver's licenses until much later now.

At least some younger people just aren't learning to drive or even buying a car at all. Car culture just isn't part of their life.


When an entry level Corolla has 250hp and every single car on the market has a plastic cover over the engine bay to hide the nightmare of sensors and electronic controls, you can't just sit around in the driveway as a buddy changes out his carburetor and shoot the shit. The cars themselves aren't worth fixing up either. Boring plastic crap.

474 Honestly, I was mostly commenting on his quote regarding his political evolution over time. Like someone born in freaking 2005 has enough perspective that I should give a shit. Oh. You were a commie at 12, how sweet. What was your favorite Pokémon. Just shut the fuck up you dumb, deluded kid. I'm betting he was "gifted" and thus thought he was special or somehow worthy of attending to. Nope. How about this- get a job. Achieve something noteworthy. Then, maybe talk about what you know about.

Off the top of my head, Sigourney Weaver in Aliens was the best female action move.

My sister describes herself as a "pro-life progressive". I really hope the hatred for pro-life people on the left reaches a boiling point. Already she's a bit disenchanted with the people she's trying to help as a public defender (no...these people are generally stupid and don't want to help themselves, not just oppressed, she's come to realize).

It could be the kind of kick to wake her up.

When you're allowed to drive them. Those batteries in "your" car are going to be crucial for operation of the solar and wind grid silliness. They can't just have users removing important components and driving to the store whenever they want.

Posted by: WisRich at May 16, 2022


***
In the first film Linda's Sarah Connor was interesting because she is an average everyday waitress who suddenly is catapulted into horror and a fight for her life, and she meets the challenge. The second I barely remember except that she was muscled like a women's weight training competitor and had been raising her son, or allowing him to raise himself, as a near-sociopath. Which I admit might well be a survival trait in the Skynet Times. Still, to me, the setup for 2 was not as interesting.

She was locked up in a psych hospital, so she had no say in how her son was being raised. (Indeed, that's why she was trying to break out).

498 The problem is that Mom and Dad won't live forever. Who will drive Junior then?

Uber. Seriously, they just rent a ride when they want to go somewhere, and have most stuff delivered so they don't have to.

Hard to be excited about a Prius.

That is part of the problem, there's nothing out there for young people to get excited about driving. Yes, a tesla is fast but it not only doesn't look badass, it costs an absolute fortune.

Detroit was smart in the 60s about producing cheaper hot looking cars for guys in high school or just graduating to be able to afford while working at the malt shop.
