  1. I'm sure it's just a matter of time before they come up with something more serious for this, though it won't be because he at all wants to save Hollywood. He just wants to inflict enough pain on it to force it to heel and accept some type of government oversight that'll no doubt be about who they can hire or imposing certain restrictions on what type of content they can include. Just another part of the never-ending, ever more ubiquitous culture war of theirs. First the Kennedy Center and the museums, then the schools, and now this. It's no secret that Hollywood has been a big driver of cultural change in this country, and to a lesser extent worldwide. Only figures that with their so called war on woke they'd eventually go after it.
  2. Just wait. At this rate it won't be long before someone simply sneezing in another country in our general direction will be considered a national security threat, and he'll demand we build a giant sneeze guard around the entire nation. We'll be the country-sized version of the bubble boy then. Only it won't do any good because he's the worst germ there is, and he's already inside.
  3. Star Wars Skeleton Crew 1 - 3 The Goonies vibe is strong with this one. Really though, even some of the music in this feels like it was straight lifted right out of Goonies to me, I swear. Not that I'm at all complaining. I mean, when you got a droid that talks like a pirate, how can you not love that?.
  4. No idea. Guess Law just knew where to hit him. Either that or maybe that spinning blade technique was specially designed to cut through the goop to reach his real body somehow.
  5. Yeah, are we supposed to believe he was one of the top executives when he was that young?
  6. Figured his string power meant his body was probably able to do some weird shit, too. Basically seems like he can self heal pretty much any injury I guess. Means probably only way to beat him is to hit him with an attack so massive it totally KOs or kills him instantly so he can't use his power to restore himself.
  7. Afraid? No. Sure. Yeah. If he was really done for with just this, then we wouldn't get to see Luffy kick his ass. Now that would be a travesty.
  8. Nice to see we're finally getting some relatively new stuff. Crap though, now I gotta marathon the first season of Blue Exorcist so I can refresh myself before they start airing season 2.
  9. Starry Night? What a way to Van Go.
  10. Just gonna waltz right in through the front door. LOL Of course, why not?
  11. Destination X Just sort of a preview half episode, but I've seen enough to know I'm definitely watching this when it starts later this month. Looks like kind of a cool mix of Big Brother and Amazing Race. Granted I've only ever watched like one season of each of those shows, but Jeffrey Dean Morgan as host... as a long time Walking Dead fan there's no way I'm missing that.
  12. Always knew their end goal was to eventually extend the brainwashing to all the children, just never thought they'd ever be this blatant and open about it. At least not this soon. Shame is truly dead with these people.
  13. https://kfor.com/news/local/were-citizens-oklahoma-city-family-traumatized-after-ice-raids-home-but-they-werent-suspects/ Forced a woman and her three daughters, guns to their faces, outside in their underwear, while it was raining, took their money and phones and stuff as "evidence", and one of them had to gall to tell her before they left "I know it was a little rough this morning." Ya think? Ehh, maybe just a smidge? Add this to the threatening letters they've been sending "by mistake" to US citizen immigration attorneys ordering them to leave the country, and shows what you get when you have people running the government with zero accountability for screwing stuff up.
  14. That's nuts. Just as nuts as that though might be that he admitted on camera that he could make a call and have Garcia brought back if he wanted to, but just won't do it. That just totally flies in the face of and completely undermines the argument they've made in court. He's essentially screaming at the top of his lungs there that he's deliberately violating the supreme court's order and daring them to do something about it. He just handed the Garcia family's lawyer a golden gift right there. That will 100% be brought up in court as proof they're willfully acting in contempt of the court's order.

  16. Soul 9/10 Flight Risk 7/10 Juror No. 2 3/10 (This felt just so overly contrived. Odds of something like this happening would have to be so astronomically small in the first place, but then the decisions the characters make also felt just designed to create an unnecessarily dramatic moral/ethical dilemma of a situation.) Companion 9/10 (This one kind of fooled me, in that for a while it seemed like it wasn't going to be about what I thought it was going to be, but then it wound up being that after all, just not in the way I thought it would. Ultimately though, really pleasantly surprised to say I ended up loving it.)
  17. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/doge-cuts-cost-135-billion-analysis-elon-musk-department-of-government-efficiency/ " The $135 billion cost to taxpayers doesn't include the expense of defending multiple lawsuits challenging DOGE's actions, nor the impact of estimated lost tax collections due to staff cuts at the IRS. " "The IRS, which is planning on cutting roughly 40% of its workforce, could forego $323 billion in tax revenue over the next decade due to lower tax compliance and a decline in audits, according to an estimate from the Yale Budget Lab." So yeah, shocker, the doggie doo doo department is the waste, and it's looking like one awfully big turd being laid on all of us.
  18. He switched places with some other dude's body right before Doflamingo fired what apparently would have been the killing shots, making it appear like he had been killed, so that he could switch back a moment later and give him the chance to catch him off guard with that Gamma Knife technique. Actually a pretty smart plan, only it did rely on the body not turning over while it was being shot and revealing it was somebody else for a moment.
  19. Never seen him pull shambles with just bodies and not the clothes before. Also, either he picked a guy who was also missing an arm, or he got kinda lucky they didn't notice the body suddenly had both arms. Went back and checked the video and side with the missing arm was out of view the whole time.
  20. Switched places with some other dude to avoid the fatal shots. LOL Guess that explains it. This time at least.
  21. Seems pretty clear though that Luffy is actually paying attention to him by how he's learning to avoid Flamingo's attacks better and better as the fight goes along.
