Actually what amazes me is the repeat marriage. Who besides Elizabeth Taylor has pulled that off. How does that even happen after an initial (I assume bitter) divorce.
(edit) of course there is a Wikipedia page for this, and the list is longer than I would have guessed - but Richard Pryor is the only one to do it with two different spouses.
What they should do is find a way to make the franchise more complex, explore serious themes - so it appeals to the adults that used to be the kids playing with these toys.
The Bay movies could have easily been serious sci-fi movies, that were allegories for various challenges we face today. Energy/resource crises (Energon shortage), pollution, corrupt leadership, war, exercising force on less technologically advanced cultures -- the list goes on.
Instead it was just CGI trash, with ludicrous scripts. You can't argue with the Box office though -- this is what the people wanted, sadly. (Though no one ever admits they like those movies even though they made billions)
I was shocked how good this was, I am surprised it is doing so poorly. Hell, I don't understand why the Bay movies did so well. Obviously the title they gave this movie is a bit confusing given the catalog.
This tied so many things together.. even the Quintessons from the first movie came back.
They need to decide if they are going after the adults who played with these as kids, or if they are trying to get new younger fans. This probably came closest to threading that needle. But as an OG fan, Peter Cullen would have been better AND cheaper as Optimus.
I suspect you cannot learn to have empathy, you are born with a certain amount and at best you can maybe fake it... I believe this is what sociopaths do. Perhaps this is like telling someone to try harder to be taller.
I don't disagree with you, I was just offering a quick alternative in case he didn't have an account.
You are quite a hostile individual...
I don't dispute that there are countless situations where people would like large amounts of cash. At a secure location like a business, or many of the examples you describe it is a natural thing.
My focus is on moving in the open with that money. I just think it is reckless to bike around strange areas with $30k cash on you, even if you can afford it. You believe it is common and fine, I think there is no good reason you should need to take that risk. That's fine, we can agree to disagree.
What was the significance of the hair falling to the mountainside and a plant growing from it?
A lot of time was spent on that with the time lapse, but unless I missed something that went nowhere.
Charlize Theron could have pulled this off, she seems big and based on Atomic Blonde her action scenes have a convincing brutality.
I was shocked that ATJ is actually 5'8" -- even full grown she seemed to scrawny to pull off some of the things she was doing.
So please provide a (legal) example why someone would need to be walking around with over $5k outside of a secure location. Instead of insulting me why don't you teach me. I am willing to learn.
I was also getting a bit of Mel Gibson in Payback
