No matter how both Ridley and Connie want to cut it, Maximus was not Lucias' father.
Yes to all. And yeah, something with Godzilla Raids Again vibes.
Well try saying that to all the veterans who related to Koichi. He wasn't whining. I dare anyone to go through what he did, being shamed by Tachibana and Sumiko and finally seeing that big ass thing named Godzilla that came ashore on Odo Island, and remain sane. I said, I would be going through exactly the same thing as him.
Great when you're high on Adderall. Trymp's a drug addict. As such, he's a threat.
Considering the show was made by a lot of Vietnam vets, I'd say the show portrayed their sentiments perfectly. Most of the writers were vets who were in country. There were quite a few guest actors and a couple directors including Bill Duke (Mac, from Predator) who served. If they had no qualms being part of the show, I'd say it was about right.
Sharon's fans conveniently forget she was not the star of the film. Jack McGowran was the star. Professor Abronsius was the main protagonist. Sharon was the love interest of the secondary protagonist, Polanski's character of Alfred. As for the film being a "chore to watch" and "not a lot happening" I have to wonder what film you were watching. This is my favourite of Polanski's. It is a send up of the Hammer horror films of the 50s/60s. It is not supposed to be serious, hence the ending where Sarah Shagal puts the bite on Alfred and Abronsius being completely unaware as the narration states:
[b][i]That night, fleeing from Transylvania, Professor Abronsius never guessed he was carrying away with him the very evil he had wished to destroy. Thanks to him, this evil would at last be able to spread across the world.[/i][/b]
Basically Abronsius is the anti Van Helsing. He's smart, but not socially aware. To a degree Von Krolock is sort of the hero of the piece.
According to the original prosecutor, Roger Gunson, he was punished more than the law allowed. He even stated the judge overstepped both the sentencing guidelines, and what the family wanted. According to Gunson he served all the time that was asked and the judge was going to sentence him to 50 years, against the guidelines. The judge was also going to personally have him deported, which Gunson pointed out to the judge was not within his purview as a judge to do. Gunson also filed a brief with the court to have Rittenband removed from the case and censured.
Wow, showing a clear lack of understanding the case and that jes not a serial diddler. Show me you have no clue without showing me you have no clue.
That would have been perfect. 👏
Frank Marshall never set foot in the Valley of Tears. JA Bayona and his sound designer and fx designer went up there and spent about six days mapping out the entire area. Bayona found out through discussions with the 16 who survived the crash and slide were not that smooth as it was in Alive. In Society of the Snow, we see the fuselage hitting several rocks on the way down. That is depicted in SOS. That's what happens when you have a team dedicated to the truth, not Hollywood's version of it.
I think it's pretty safe to assume the explosion from the Americans testing of Operation Crossroads is self-explanatory.
It is canon. In the director's cut, the scene was put back.
Yes, Bayona saw Alive and decided to bring in the men who were actually there as technical advisors, as well as the relatives of the dead. What we got was the truth, not what Marshall and Kennedy concocted for their Hollywood story. I'm sticking with the now 14, since Javier Methol died in 2015 and Coche Inciarte died in 2022, who it actually happened to.
According to those 16 men who survived it, "Society of the Snow" wins hands down. What happened in Alive was not the truth according to Nando Parrado who tried to tell Mrashall what he was doing wrong. It was exause of that, the relatives of the dead and some if the survivors refused to allow their names to be used. Bayona had the complete trust of all the men who survived and the families of the 29 who perished.
"Godzilla Minus One" should be in the main films, not international. G-1 deserves to be in the main ten. But go ahead and pick films on one has heard of instead of recognizing how G-1 was a triumph for the film industry. But yeah, I guess girly doll films are more in line with Hollywood's form of entertainment.
It should consider itself lucky. Gidzilla Minus One deserved to be nominated in best picture and director, as well as lead actor. J. A. Bayona deserved a nomination for directing Society of the Snow. Agustin Pardella, Matias Recalt, and Enzo Vogorinic all deserved nominations for actor. Micahel Giacchino deserved a nomination for best score for Society of the Snow, and Naoki Sato deserved one for Godzilla Minus One. Barbie got 8 nominations while other films were snubbed.
One has the sanction of the survivors and the relatives of the dead. One has a bunch of over acting Hollywood types who are playing people the survivors don't recognize. Namely themselves.
Now that wins the day for me. 👍
Well how can an American born, Swiss/French raised man play a Scot. I'm of course talking about Christopher Lambert. Adrian Paul is also English, but he played a Scot in Duncan McLeod. For me I'd rather if it were true casting have Sam Heughan who is a Scot playing a Scot on Outlander. He's got a good body for it.
That behaviour is standard for rape victims. Your big city Special Victims Unit's know the behaviour well. Only difference is the larger city units aren't so quick to call a woman a liar. They didn't support her. She should have received care in terms of physical and mental support. The woman who called the police to call into question the girl's story, had no right to do that and she knew the girl was in a delicate condition mentally. She should have been more supportive and understand what the girl, her own foster child, was going through. Doesn't matter if Marie was "messed up." The point is the police in effect bullied her forcing the recantation. Marie should have been supported. Not prosecuted. And that is the reason rape victims don't report. They're always afraid of being called liars. Now if real evidence had come forward that proved beyond a doubt she was lying, then and only then should action have been taken. But when the same kind of assaults are happening in other areas, these this police unit should have known about, their excuse is just that, an excuse.
