Agreed. Nolan is pure garbage.
There’s a website where this guy tears Inception to utter ribbons, pointing out every dumb flaw in each second of the script. Nolan is one of those Hollywood buffoons who gets high on his own farts. Utterly pretentious, self indulgent, mediocre, outdated filmmaker.
Nolan is the worst and mos overrated s filmmaker of all time

This is true. I often wondered what was the point of complaining about the Holocaust when fur farms are arguably an equivalent or even worse evil. Humans are fucking disgusting.
Well Schindler’s list is obviously a masterpiece, so...

Deep focus cinematography.
Barnes was effective as a fighter and tactician.
But Barnes was not effective as a leader. He did not train his men properly and allowed division to spread amongst the platoon. He was also insubordinate to higher authority. He also made poor decisions based off emotion. The village massacre caused a lot of damage to the platoon’s morale as well as their presence in the region, and strengthened the Vietcong. He also fragged the only capable NCO for petty, vindictive reasons. Granted, a lot of Barnes’ faults were the result of Lt. Wolfe’s lack of leadership, which was itself due to the inefficiency of the US military.
Barnes did not care about morality, but he was scared of being subjected to a higher judgement, as in a military court. He didn’t want to lose face and be stripped of his position. He wanted to die an honourable soldier’s death, and Taylor granted him that.
Barnes was maybe a good soldier before, but as Elias said, he still believed in the purpose of the war and that what he was doing was worth it. He could not see that he was fighting a lost cause. Barnes was given too much power in the platoon and eventually became megalomaniacal. Barnes needed to be put in his place to be an effective soldier, but by the time the film starts, anyone who got in his way, Barnes would bully into submission or remove from the equation. Quite simply, Barnes became a bad machine.
It had some of the best episodes of the series (“The Weight,” “Whoever Did This,” “Whitecaps”) but also some of the worst, ie “Christopher.”
The problem was it focused too much on an unbelievable love triangle between Tony, Carmela and Furio that didn’t seem to go anywhere. Even the main plot about Tony and Carmela’s marriage falling apart was pointless in the end since they got back together again anyway like nothing ever happened. Overall it felt like a transitional season that was meant to set up plot lines for season 5.
Not quite as pathetic looking as you, you poor, deformed, decrepit soul.
Because Barnes was a coward and didn’t want to be subjected to military justice and lose command of the platoon. Also Barnes was losing his mind from the war and couldn’t tell friend from foe.
Trump will destroy Biden with a nickname. Probably melted-brain Biden or something.
Yes it is hard, especially in fine dining. You have to know every item on multiple menus and be prepared to make suggestions such as which type of wine will pair best with which starter, entree, or desert, and describe flavours and ingredients of each dish. Gotta know what substitutions are needed, who has allergies, how they want their food cooked, and balance the orders of multiple tables - putting the orders in the computer system on time - whilst making sure the kitchen has the order tickets right, and communicating with the Chefs and line cooks on when the food needs to go out and in what order, and make sure the food runners know where to place what in which seat.
You need to communicate with the server assistants to make sure tables are set in advance for the meals, and that everyone is getting refills on water and drinks. If the S.A. is busy, then you need to do it all yourself before the food arrives. You also have to be sociable and make conversation with your guests. You will often have to carry food and clear tables yourself, which are multiple heavy plates that can easily be dropped. You are always on your feet, and need to remember which tables need the check and process credit card payments, cash, or a gift card, and sort out any problems with pricing. On top of this, shifts often last 8-9 hours for dinner shifts, and 10+ hours for breakfast. With constant non-stop movement, you’re also expected to polish silverware, restock supplies and wine coolers, and sweep and mop. And if anything goes wrong prepare to be stiffed in a tip and lose out on hundreds of dollars in one night, or be torn a new asshole by your restaurant manager or kitchen staff.
The plus side to all this hard work is that servers often only work 30-35 hours a week and can make a lot of money from tips. One server I knew made six-figures working in fine dining. It’s a hard job that requires a ton of practice and knowledge acumen, but can be very profitable in the long run. The downside is there’s no job security during recessions.
The porn industry is full of this stuff.
Didn’t he pay off some kid and settle out of court for millions. Pretty sure he was a pedo.
There was a deleted scene from the film showing Harry back in the 70s avenging the murder of Ken’s wife.
True, the acting is wooden. It’s like Lucas was too enamored by his computer technology than the actual performances or heart of the story. Lucas is a visual genius, but I don’t know what went wrong with the acting in the prequels.
