"Watching Fox News is the only way you're going to hear the truth on television news." -- Bwahahahahaaaaa!!!
"The truth on television news" she said...haaaaa....and then referred to Fox as the truthful ones...Haaaaaaa!! Stop it! You're killing me! :)
Well...the study had ranked, in order of the least informed: 1) Fox; 2) No news at all; 3) MSNBC. So it's only biased for number one but not number 2 or 3? Hmmm, interesting thought pattern there.
It's little wonder their viewers are so ill-informed...
1) Fox was successfully sued - for nearly a BILLION dollars - for defamation. Flat-out lying to viewers. (Or, as LisaCat calls it, "the truth"!) Their viewers were unlikely to hear much about the settlement.
2) Host Tucker Carlson pieces together a laughable "documentary" about Jan 6th. Simply cuts out all the violence. Cuts out the crushing of police. Cuts out the noose. Cuts out the chants looking for Pence and Pelosi. Only shows the peaceful parts. And unleashes it on their viewers. Unreal. Again, you don't need Columbo to find out why the viewers are so less-informed.
3) Everybody who watches it seems to: A) Hate "sheep-le". And B) All think alike and have the exact same opinions on each and every topic! They can't seem to name one thing they disagree with Fox about, but they are certain that they think for themselves!
The liberal media isn't any better. Maybe a bit less "brain-washy". But awful as well. I could go on all day about them too. It's sad you can only see one side. They're both/all terrible right now and are ALL ran by corporate interests.
No, I completely get it. It just should have been written differently to include Demi getting something out of the experience. Sure, Demi Moore wanted to be young and sprouted a young version of herself. But, again, without shared memories/experiences, Demi just sits at home and ages badly while someone else is out having all the fun. This is not a great deal for Demi, as the movie shows. So my point still stands...if you're Demi, why continue the charade then? You're not the one having the fun, yet you're suffering the consequences.
Like I say, if it was written better...Demi should have "felt" the joy, had the memories/experiences of the younger girl. You know when you have one of those nights where you had a great time, yet in the morning you don't remember many actual details (other than having a great time)...Somehow it should have been written like that. Have a feel for Demi thinking "I'm having too much fun in this other body, no way I'm giving this life up". Instead, Demi was simply enabling a younger version of herself to have a great time while she lost fingers and ate junk food and aged badly and so on. Again, not sure why anybody would continue with that transaction. Sure, she wanted to be young...but as herself I'm sure. Not as a different person (a younger "you") who you share no memories or experiences with.
I just think it would have worked a whole lot better if Demi woke up and knew/felt/experienced how much fun she was having in her young body. Then of course you wouldn't want to give that up at any cost. But to just "birth" a younger version of you who takes 2 weeks of your life at a time, ages you badly, and your older self gets nothing out of the ordeal in return, that's dumb. And also the makers of the Substance should have been getting paid somehow. They also seemed to get nothing out of the situation, other than humiliating someone.
As far as evil people in movies go...I always wonder about them taking a shit! Like Nosferatu, does he use toilet paper? Which brand does he prefer? Does he ever come out of the bathroom and go "Whew...do NOT go in there, for another 25 to 35 minutes!"?!
The logistics of it all are very interesting to me for some reason! :)
Why specifically would you think it didn't happen though? Major Warren was absolutely certain of the General's son being dead, which he wouldn't have known for sure if he didn't kill him. He told a convincing, if disgusting, story. The General's son was in the area looking for Major Warren, so they were in close proximity. Of course the Major is going to want to try to eliminate anyone out looking for him. He certainly could have gotten wind of the son looking for him, then trapped him and disarmed him...and then, well...you know the rest! :) I thought the movie meant to say it really happened, but perhaps you're right, I'm not 100% sure.
Uh, yeah, I would certainly care, if I were Demi Moore, that a young person was coming out of my body! If I'm Moore, I'd be thinking...The other girl has all the fun, while I sit at home, get no NEW memories, get no experiences, and start losing body parts while aging wildly...Yeah, great deal for me!
Ok, so the young version had all the memories before they split...again, this does nothing for Demi Moore. Everything helps the younger body, Demi gets the shaft (except she's not even getting that, the young girl gets all the pole!)...so why would Demi keep going with it? I hardly see the motivation from her end. Especially at the physical cost. Heck, even if there were no cost...I'm not giving up my time so some young version of me can have a bunch of fun. What is the current "me" getting out of that arrangement?
Thank you!
I forgot to mention...he has a "Twilight Zone" window sticker on his rear windows in his car! Big fan! :)
I'd have to say my bro is the biggest TZ fan in the world. Even though he has all the episodes on VHS, DVD and Streaming...he STILL watches the NYE SyFy event, with commercials and everything! So I'll give a vote for him. And, heck, I think I'll just go ahead and throw it on myself now.
My favorite ones... The Burgess Merideth / Time episode. The "Mask" episode. And the "Talking Tina" one.
It's truly a great horror movie.
I think the better question to ask on this website is: Has anyone ever read "A" book?! ;)
