    Yeah, though it may be possible the Republicans will trip each other up so much, the Democrats end up not having anything to rein in. The main problem is that we'll probably be running into a major...

    Yeah, I think films need to give some idea what the story is about more than the setting and the cast. Amsterdam actually had a pretty interesting subject at the heart of its story, but I didn't get...

    It is an interesting broader discussion. Action in movies today hasn't been on the same level as the action movie period of the 80's but I don't think Black Panther or Black Adam were any better or...

    Clark as a news anchor was an interesting period though today it would be hard to buy - in movies, comics or television - that a news anchor could moonlight as a superhero even with Superman's...

    This is my general question about a lot of issues. What does it matter to me what other people believe and do in their private lives? I mean, even if I personally believed it's a man pretending to be...

    It is ironic since the GOP, particularly Mitch McConnel, lobbied so hard to get corporate money into politics. Personally, I don't think corporations should have the political influence their money...

    And obviously people in cities and suburbs have more mental health support and the incomes and available time to take advantage of it.
  8. Yeah, honestly, before the war - before the...

    Yeah, honestly, before the war - before the invasion of Crimea even - how many positive Russian characters were depicted in western entertainment? How many were usually oligarchs and/or gangsters or...

    Better access to guns is likely a factor. However, I believe the amount of rural populations is likely the greatest factor....

    It seems like the fullest extent of the law is that the judge will let them off.

    Honestly, we should've put more bankers on trial after the financial crisis. We should've put GW Bush on trial...
  11. Not sure anyone has actually seriously approached...

    Not sure anyone has actually seriously approached Russia in negotiations. The only people I hear telling us what Putin wants are those that clearly want the US to go to war with Russia. Why should I...

    It would be insane to have US troops fighting in Ukraine. It's already bad enough Ukrainians and Russians are dying for this pointless war, why add a fresh new group to get mowed down and only make...

    Getting over a bout of food poisoning so didn't feel up to watching the 3rd episode yet, but I'd suspect that the emergence of the 3rd persona is a reaction to Marc's desire to suppress his violent...

    For me, the deeper dramatic core of the story is that Steven is the false identity. In the sense that he was born Marc Spector and then Marc split into this identity. Also, Marc claims that once he...

    Yes, I imagine that is a very tough decision. On the other hand though, why is it my decision? Or yours? Or anybody's decision besides the pregnant woman's?

    That's the critical problem I have...

    It does remind me of a case against supposed Islamic terrorists back when the "War on Terror" was hot and heavy. Some law enforcement agencies like the FBI or DEA, for example, have to be proactive...
  17. This is a good point. Putin was considered an...

    This is a good point. Putin was considered an ally by the past few administrations here and by Europe as well despite growing autocracy and crackdowns on civil rights. We're fine with dictators and...

    Considering how boring the Oscars usually are, it might have been harsher to force him to attend every one for the next 10 years and ban him from any post-Oscar parties where the real fun happens.

    Not get into a direct discussion about the slap itself, but the reaction from comedians is a little ironic. Maybe I’m projecting, but they seem to be jumping on the “collective victim” card pretty...
  20. It is difficult to draw broad conclusions from...

    It is difficult to draw broad conclusions from single incidents. The Will Smith-Chris Rock slap is notorious for its bizarre absurdity, but you're right that it is insignificant broadly speaking....
  21. Not really though. Most of the serious Cold...

    Not really though. Most of the serious Cold Warriors are all dead or in their 90's and few of us were alive or adults back when that was a reality. I was in high school when Reagan was President, and...
  22. However, we'll have to deal with the costs as...

    However, we'll have to deal with the costs as well. Russia is a nuclear power with massive resources, international naval and military capabilities and a land mass that stretches from Eastern Europe...
  23. I think we are being cautious and probably should...

    I think we are being cautious and probably should be even more cautious. First, there is no good reason the United States or NATO should be getting involved directly in any military conflict in...

    I've heard that lesser of two evils theory, but most people vote on emotion. Mostly anger and fear. Ideally, politics is about interests and people would vote for platforms that maximize their own...

    Yeah, that Star Trek episode is actually not a very good one except for the scene where they explain the difference in such a ridiculous way.

    Of course, the Romulan oppression of the Remans was...
