Who's the most annoying movie villain? in Movies ·
Richard Carter59 said:Terminator 2 - Robert Patrick ( http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001598/ )
Snatch - the main guy... can't quite put a finger on the name... http://gfx.filmweb.pl/p/9554/po.114381.jpg

And so on... there are plenty more... 😬

Alan Ford. In the movie Bricktop. I actually think he's pretty likable!
So, get this—after slaughtering hundreds of thousands of people in Sudan and kicking millions more out of their homes, the Sudanese government is actually trying to play the victim! They’re pointing fingers at Israel, claiming that by taking in refugees, Israel is just trying to trash Sudan's reputation... and now they’re even threatening legal action against the very people who fled there to survive. It's wild! Every year, about 3,000 Sudanese refugees make it into Israel, and that doesn't even count the massive number of Egyptians caught up in the shuffle on the way there.

placidcrane61 said:Are those "The Satanic Verses" actually referring to specific parts of the Quran?
And if they are, which parts exactly?

أَفَرَأَيْتُمُ اللَّاتَ وَالْعُزَّى
وَمَنَاةَ الثَّالِثَةَ الْأُخْرَى
أَلَكُمُ الذَّكَرُ وَلَهُ الْأُنثَى
تِلْكَ إِذًا قِسْمَةٌ ضِيزَى. سورة النجم - سورة ‏٥٣: ١٩-٢٢
What do you think about Al-Lat, Uzza, and Menat—the third, least respected one? Basically asking: Are they sons for you, while He has daughters?! That would be a totally unfair division. Surah An-Najm - Surah 53:19-22

A ton of early biographies of Muhammad cover this whole episode—like, we're talking Ibn Ishaq's biography of the Prophet Muhammad or even Al-Tabari's history... I could totally pull some snippets from an English translation if you want!

According to them, the story goes like this: These three—Al-Lat, Uzza, and Menat, who were basically the goddesses in the old pantheon, the daughters of the supreme deity—were seen as these elevated intermediaries that people would pray through.

Look, if this whole "Satanic Verses" thing didn't have such legit Islamic sources behind it, the entire Muslim world wouldn't have absolutely lost their minds over Salman Rushdie. It hit them right where it hurts—he wrote a book about something they're desperately trying to sweep under the rug. Your average person might not even know the story exists, but the sheikhs? Oh, they know. And they're terrified that regular folks will find out they've been played, so they tell everyone they follow that they've gotta take out Salman Rushdie.

The Council on American-Islamic Relations actually put up $150,000 just to get their hands on Salman Rushdie's head. I mean, what are they even thinking? They probably want to tuck him away next to some random martyr's grave or something... 😵

So, just today, they caught another 20 refugees from Sudan trying to sneak across the border into Israel

It’s honestly wild—every single day you have somewhere between 20 to 50 folks from Darfur attempting to cross the line. Since they're technically citizens of a hostile nation, they don't actually qualify for refugee status under the law, which means everything happens kind of... off the books? Like, the police step in just to make sure nobody is hiding any terrorist activity, and once they clear them, they just let them go, and then regular American citizens step up to take care of them. It’s a whole thing!

frozenfox13 said:🙂 An insult isn't something you can just take back. It's like if someone told you that you could always go back to that old academy you attended.

(Man, I think it is reversible. I guess the Quran provides plenty of ammunition for preemptive strikes against Islam, considering it seems to consist of nothing more than theological cultural genocide and intellectual looting... though I suppose you could also call it a call for genocide or something similar... whatever works for you...)

Convert me or die!

And it's not even just about that... now we've got photography students getting death threats... seriously, they're banning everything except pictures of tulips and Persian rugs...

So, does that mean the people who filmed Daniel Pearl's execution should lose their heads too, just because they captured the footage?

The spokesperson for the Iranian Foreign Ministry, Mohammad Ali Hosseini, just went out and called Her Majesty Elizabeth II an Islamophobe.

I mean, seriously—how can someone just disrespect everyone in the Commonwealth like that? It’s such a low blow to their sovereign, too! Honestly, it feels like a total slap in the face to every single person in the Commonwealth—we're talking citizens from 53 different countries, which is basically nearly 2 billion people. Just wild.

Iran just slammed the decision to make Salman Rushdie a knight
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/6760927.stm

Man, I bet they'll start dropping flying Qurans from the sky next—just trying to blast the Queen Mother with lasers like they did to Salman Rushdie, right? lol

So, you’ve got these anti-Israel propaganda types out there claiming it’s an apartheid state—basically saying they’re running some kind of Holocaust against Muslims—but then, get this, thousands of people fleeing conflicts within Muslim nations are actually heading straight for Israel. Like, seriously? If their rhetoric was actually true, why would anyone run toward it? It just doesn't add up!

Check this out—570 people from Darfur fled to Israel:
http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7...413031,00.html
And then, just last night, 39 Sudanese refugees were caught trying to sneak into Israel illegally—meaning they weren't even looking to follow asylum protocols, they were just trying to cross the border under the cover of darkness:
http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7...413775,00.html

Even 700 Palestinians from Gaza are trying to escape Hamas by heading into Israel:
http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7...413744,00.html

I mean, I don't remember hearing about folks fleeing to South Africa or trying to scale walls to get into Nazi Germany, right? It's wild!

Iranian equals Indian equals Native American; it is all one and the same...🤣 🤣

And honestly? Every single Chinese person is just the same too.

So, get this—the Queen just knighted Salman Rushdie! That means he’s officially going by Sir Salman now. Huge congrats to him, and honestly, massive props to the people of Iran for seeing their most iconic writer get this kind of recognition for his entire life's work. Such a win!

Finally snagged that torrent through Isohunt. Oh boy, what a thrill! 😍
The Kurds are coming... in World ·
Richard Wilson4 said:Just Singapore?
What about Panama, Nicaragua, Honduras, or Costa Rica?

Man, look at Iraq, Syria, Egypt, Lebanon, Libya, Algeria, Morocco, Sudan, Tunisia, the Emirates, Bahrain, Kuwait, Yemen, Jordan... those are all basically just the outskirts of the biggest Mexicans in history, whose true home base is Saudi Arabia. Those guys tried to carve out maybe three different versions of themselves, but the Arabs already have 22—and they’re probably eyeing a few more right now, like in Israel or even Spain!

Dennis Carter said:Hahaha, yeah, I totally caught that too, lol.
Such an awesome movie—the vibes are just spot on.

Honestly, this is easily one of my all-time favorite comedies.

analogseal39 said:plus there are just thousands of these tiny, hilarious little details... like:
when they're practicing driving stakes into pillows and then Alfred smacks his finger with a hammer; then in the next shot, you see the old guy coming down the stairs with his finger all wrapped up in bandages...
or
that part where they're eating at the tavern and the old man breaks off a chunk of cheese, but a little piece snaps off and hits the table, so he just keeps stabbing at it with his fork (or maybe a knife?) until he finally gets it...

The movie is bloody... totally wild, funny, and just feels like a dark fairy tale...

Seriously, this movie is pure genius. I used to have it on VHS like 10 or 15 years ago and I swear I must've watched it a hundred times. I need to go hunt down a copy ASAP. Gosh, that scene where Von Krolock's son is such a total dork trying to hit on his future victims... classic...

analogseal39 said:... or basically: vampire!!!

"Exactly one year ago tonight, we were all right here in this very room.
Me, your pastor, and all of you—my dear congregation. I had so much hope in my heart back then,
when I promised you that with a little help from Lucifer, we’d be looking forward to a much more delicious occasion.
Just think back for a second. We were all sitting there, feeling pretty miserable and depressed,
huddled up around that one pathetic little woodcutter..."

🙏 seriously one of the best horror comedies ever made....

That freaking scene where Shagal turns into a vampire, starts sucking on the waitress, she shows him her teeth, and he goes, "Oy vey, have you got the wrong vampire," before lunging at her—man, I can't! It kills me every time.
ambersailor51 said:And who even counts as part of the hardcore crowd? Just a few thousand preachers or just the guys at the drag strip?? ☕

Hey kid, watch your mouth! Show some respect—you know how older guys handle it when some brat starts acting up...
The most tragic cinematic hero of all time in Movies ·
So, General Jack d. Ripper in Dr. Strangelove... first off, those communists totally wreck his mojo using chlorinated water, and then they completely derail his whole master plan to stop any more communist meddling with American bodily fluids.
Chloe Garcia98 said:Just look at these self-righteous moralists of ours, weeping crocodile tears while they scramble to defend the reputation of the entire humanitarian organization... They demand links, they plead their case, and they beg for accountability as if they’re anything more than performative😂

But the second the Vatican or the Red Cross gets pulled into the fray, all that nuanced debate goes out the window, replaced by nothing but sweeping, mindless generalizations😵

Check this out:

Our local lefties are just so incredibly predictable... 😬
slypuma17 said:Since you usually have a habit of backing up your posts with links, this particular void feels strangely loud. I’m not suggesting you're lying, but there are plenty of ambiguities in this whole narrative:
1) Did the Red Cross actually have the authority to issue passports, or was that—much like today—an exclusive prerogative of the Department of Homeland Security?
2) Which state issued his passport? Does such a thing as a "Red Cross passport" even exist? For what it's worth, if a passport features a red cross on a white background, we're looking at a Swiss passport, not some specialized "Red Cross" document...
3) Was the passport issued under his actual name, or an alias?
4) If the answer to number three is yes, can we know if the clerk behind the counter had any inkling of who they were dealing with?
And so on, and so forth. Until these elementary details are cleared up,
please refrain from leveling heavy artillery at the International Committee of the Red Cross or its conventions and declarations.
Thanks
