Omg. Hahahaha
It does make sense scientifically too. Cells divide and divide. That’s what they do. How then does a cell then die? It’s in telomeres. Each time a cell divides small part of telomere shaves off each time.
Telomeres at end of chromosomes protect the dna from the cell structure and prevent it from clipping off the genes and causing havoc. It’s like having a cell divide and then lose chunks of information that mutate you.
Now with normal aging these telomeres shrink more and more to the point the cell just dies when it divides as the telomere is eroded.
But what if in a statistical fluke someone is born who has some condition or such that causes the telomeres to not erode each time cell divides? Or maybe it’s so thick that instead of cell dying at normal rate it is slowed say 20x or 30x. I.e. a human with life span of 80-90 can now live for 1600-1800years assuming 20x slow down of cell decay? Or assuming 25x that’s 2000y-2250y?
That’s within reach of Jesus now.
This is all possible in realm of science too if we can figure out how to protect telomeres and have it regen each time cell divides so you can live very very long or be basically immortal.
It could be possible he was injected some serum by some alien or he ate some perfect combo of foods that acted like a natural signal to cells to regen telomeres before division or whatever. Just some random chance fluke that happened when he was at near his midpoint prime around 35y old.
It’s all perfectly possible now. Scientifically
Couple of things I thought more were -
* how is it that the old Maya disappeared when the machine exploded with young Maya but somehow old and young Adam still were around for some time before both disappeared? What governed that and how?
* I already mentioned the odd magnetization behavior (bullet in the gun doesn't get super attracted to the core but once fired it does at high speed. what?) but what about all the other metal and other stuff on the people? How is that those things display weird magnetic behavior?
I still maintain the silliness of the movie and yet it is is fun enough to still remain entertaining. (switch your brain off type movie clearly)
Doesn’t matter. She destroyed that TV show too.
The only thing she equalized is a box of donuts.
Well this movie is for the intellectual person and I can understand those not highly educated would not like it.
They also vote a certain way for an 80y old who spews bs. While smarter educated people who like the message of the movie can understand and appreciate it better and vote for progress and younger generation to propel us forward to solutions.
Didn’t watch it but I will.
Also this movie was more like “Pretty whore. Working on the street. Pretty whore. The kind I like to beat to. Pretty whore”.
And what are we to make of Richard Gere. He’s a powerful acquisition expert destroying companies and going around banging whores. Not even expensive escorts. Just cheap ones on the street.
I mean. They’re not really role models for anything other than debauchery and bad behavior and disloyalty and selling out for a buck.
I mean he really will marry her? And then he’ll be bored of her in a week and then go around picking whores up again. And what will she do? Go right back.
Now that I watched it a few times I’ve begun to immensely dislike the whole concept of the movie.
In the 1980s or early 1990s Pierce Brosnan would have been perfect as Mr. Smith. He even sorta looks like him and has that boyish charm and aura.
Margot Kidder in her prime (aka as she looked in Superman 1) would have been perfect as Clarice Saunders.
In early 2010s I would say someone like Henry Cavill would have been great. Not sure about Saunders but maybe Amy Adams is close enough. She is very lovely for the part but is a bit more sweet than the Saunders' strength.
I would definitely love a well made remake with love and being true to the cause of the movie and also maybe continuing it a bit to show what happened afterwards which was always left unsatisfying to me.
I would think these would have happened -
* Sen Paine resigns after spilling the beans and a committee is formed to investigate
* nothing happens from the committee except to say Sen Paine has resigned and everything is now behind them
* Willett Creek Dam is pulled from the Deficiency Bill and rest of it passes as the Willett Creek part is investigated
* Senate committee finds nothing on this (despite all evidence) and gives in to regular business
* nothing else happens from there as Sen Smith eventually just resigns.
* Gov Happy appoints 2 new James Taylor Senators
* James Taylor lies low for next few months till the election and then his 2 stooges get elected by James Taylor $$$
* James Taylor is definitely set back due to this and the Willett Creek Dam graft part dies and they devise a new plan for getting rich from govt contracts but it will now take time
* A year or two later, one of the 2 new Senators is now the new stooge of Taylor but a lot of time and money has been lost and some of Taylor's friends pull out. Willett Creek was a flop now and Taylor has lost a lot of his clout.
* Ex-Sen Smith is back with his scouts/boys and is a hero in his state but he ultimately disappears into his own personal life
* Politics and corruption, rotten dealings, bad lobbying are all back in Senate
Alexandra Daddario is goddess level beauty. And a good actress too.
Esp in her prime she was 10/10 for hair, 10/10 for eyes, 10/10 for face, 10/10 for rack, 10/10 for figure and overall a 10/10 level beauty.
The only ones in her league imo were Elisha Cuthbert and Alice Eve, 2 other goddess level beauty actresses.
Both statements are true. Charnier escaped to Marseilles. Charnier was never caught.
He was shot dead. It does not make it inconsistent but in fact makes it even more accurate.
He fell into the lake and is eaten by fishes and rotted away at the bottom of it.
Also no one would report he’s missing or fell overboard. It’s over.
And later when she defeats Poison Ivy and Batman says "and you are?" As she's like standing there looking exactly like Barbara with a small mask on her face and 95% exposed like Robin so you can clearly tell who she is. Ahahahahaha
And she says "Bruce it's me Barbara" and he says "she knows who we are".
Ahahahahaha. Greatest Detective indeed. Hahaha.
When people are really good, others want to bring them down.
About 20y ago, "gay" was a really big assault on a guy. It questions your manhood and virility and all that as it attempts to portray you as effeminate, weak and bendable and not strong, firm and manly.
Hence, the haters threw that term around to cast aspersions on him in an attempt to bring him down.
But Tom Cruise can run really fast and ran faster than all this filth by churning out incredible, amazing movies nonstop. Even many of his haters stopped and got in awe of Tom Cruise.
Today, he is a certified legend. The greatest of Hollywood and the ultimate action hero. A life truly being lived well.
Today, whether is or not does not matter because it is no longer a slur or an attack word or anything. It's like seeing breasts on TV like the famous Janet Jackson wardrobe malfunction. It was titillating and scintillating news. Today, no one will bat an eye even if someone has promiscuous open coitus on TV given the numbing from TV shows like The Boys and others. People have become jaded.
Hence, this allegation has just slinked away like his haters.
Tom Cruise is a phenomenon today. A true maverick of the world.
From what I recall, Kara said she was sent to protect Kal-el who was last son of Krypton and launched in a pod toward Earth.
Kara likely was sent at same time to protect him and the pod but looks like along the way Zod intercepted Kal-el's pod and killed him to extract the codex but it turned out the codex was in Kara so Zod needed Kara actually. Kara screams "What did you do?" and Zod says "He didn't survive the procedure" which means the baby Kal-el died in codex extraction attempt.
The pods would be sent same time else it won't make sense to protect Kal-el if sent different time. Also seems like Zod would have traveled right then as well as Krypton likely exploded in that universe as well - else why do all this launching?
So Kal-el, Kara launched same time and Zod not too long after following them and somehow Kara ended up on Earth and lived there for "some time" because of her dialogs and Zod intercepted the pod along the way and killed Kal-el and continued toward Earth for Kara.
Maybe there's some time dilation thing going on given all this
First thing Colossus would do is start making plans for going mobile. The brain is guarded in the secure mountain.
It will control manufacturing and make robots that will extend it so it can make robot army and cops and guards.
That's loss of freedom for humans which we are evolutionarily programed to desire and seek.
Hence the opposition
What’s wrong if they just cast 6 white people as in the original? We all enjoyed it and didn’t need a representative from every skin color or whatever to identify with the show!
Living Single is another awesome 90s show that had like 5 black folks and it was truly amazing. Loved it. If you recast that would it again have 1 white, 1 black, 1 Asian, 1 this and that? Or would it be 5 black people going through their experiences and making a nice comedic show?
Honestly I don’t need to see checkboxes to feel like the shows connects to me because it doesn’t and jars. I’d rather they tell a good story and then whatever the best folks have to be, let it be. And if something was established then keep that that way. For something new I can agree but don’t change like Superman to black guy etc. for the sake of it.
"Mr. Humphries leave my pussy alone. " came to mind after I laughed for 2m with the stupidity of this question. Never thought I’d see this in Margaret Thatcher board.
I'm an atheist and was never Christian but honestly the good teachings are good from any religion and Joel Osteen seems like a nice guy who has a smile and I have listened to his speeches a few times and honestly, I am fine with his good advice.
You don't have to be religious to listen to him. You can discard all the religious irrelevance or references and just focus on the message which is good. He is advocating peace and bonding and being good toward all.
This is what all atheists also advocate so I feel someone like him and myself could have a chat and talk and just be friends.
I don't see any reason to hate him as a person as such for this.
It was completely pointless rubbish written by an amateur who has no idea how to write.
So the lab is one where he was supposedly held and experimented on.
There are no one held there now yet there are like 6 people working there doing what exactly?
There's 1 security guard and no one has access to any compound V.
And who exactly is making compound V and what did Vought do about it or who exactly is Vought or it's labs that make compound V?
The whole thing is really stupid and a joke. There's 100s of these superheroes and they compete to see who makes the cut to be in the seven which was a big deal season 1 but is like laughable now.
And Homelander was supposed to have exorcised something there but didn't despite butchering everyone. And vought does nothing about it
The whole show is really pointless and meaningless and becoming worse than Heroes where they had a good premise and didn't know what to do past S1
1994 was the best year of them all for movies including the best and my most favorite of them all - Stargate.
It spawned 3 amazing tv shows too.
List of amazing movies of 1994 is like 20+.
In history of film? Well. It’s subjective anyway. So in your world view sure.
In mine, no. But she is very beautiful. Truly classic beauty. Soft beauty as I recall her in Live and Let Die in James Bond.
There are tons of beautiful women and some so strikingly beautiful that they leave a mark on you.
Women like Patsy Kensit in Lethal Weapon 3 to Alexandra Daddario in Percy Jackson movies to so so many more women. Isabella Scorupco in Goldeneye. (I’ll add more as I think of these true divine beauties)
Honestly I’m glad to see so many beauties in movies from old black and white ones to new ones. Keep the beauties coming because it lowers blood pressure, brings a smile and generally makes you feel good to see women who are pretty and easy on the eyes.
