Clerks II (2006) in Movies ·
brightscout63 said:The sequel doesn't even come close. Watching Randall roast that Loft trilogy was pure gold. 😁
Both movies are worth a watch. Honestly, just binge them back-to-back.

Spot on. It’s not some nonstop laugh-until-you-cry comedy, but man, does it have its moments! There are plenty of great bits in there if you know what to look for.

rowdytinker3 said:Alonzo Harris is an absolute icon... but man, that ending? Total disaster. Honestly, after everything we watched him pull, it would’ve made way more sense if Alonzo just put a bullet in that rookie's head while he was already getting his ass kicked. Just finish the job, take the cash, and disappear. Amen. Instead, we get this typical Hollywood bullshit ending.👎 The movie is incredible right up until that final scene, then it just falls flat on its face for no reason.
"a good narcotic cop must know narcotics"😁 legend

I'm going to have to disagree there. I actually think the ending is spot on because it feels grounded in reality. That’s exactly why the movie works. If Alonzo had walked away unscathed, it would’ve lost all its edge and just turned into another cliché action flick.
OH MAN, it’s finally over!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Alright, I finally tracked down the Creature from the Black Lagoon, now I just need to find these last two

I’m right there with you. Seriously, I need that old guy with the lightbulb too. YEAH, I see the hints, but they aren't doing squat for me. Honestly, just DM me—SOMEONE JUST GIVE ME THE ANSWER!

On top of being stuck, I can't even find the thumbnail for one of these movies. Based on what you guys were saying earlier, I'm looking for Creature from the Black Lagoon. Where the hell is that image????

I know I'm yelling, but I don't care. It's two in the morning and I refuse to go to bed until I finish this quiz. 😠

a Identity, and Being John Malkovich...


Bravo, you managed to dig up maybe three or four movies out of his fifty-some filmography.
The point is obvious... grab some tissues and 🍿
No way, you can't even put them in the same category. Edward Norton actually acts, whereas Keanu Reeves just spends his time bickering in romantic comedies.
Alright, I’m jumping in here to join the party—congrats, everyone! Here’s hoping we all get an endless supply of hours spent glued to the couch or tucked away in a dark theater!!!!!!!

Happy???

Hold up, are we actually in the Spoiler subforum right now, or are we in that one thread where people just go to talk about a movie??? 😕
I’m definitely not the only one who dropped a detail here, so maybe do me a favor and actually read the posts above mine.

Spoiler

Look, the movie itself has some interesting bits, but for me, a film lives or dies by its ending—and they absolutely botched this one.
He was supposed to stay dead. If he had, we’d be looking at a masterpiece. Instead, it just ends up being another cliché, mindless female-led drama.
If they had actually let him die, it would have been an instant classic, right up there with something like City of Angels.

Edward Hernandez332 said:Dustin Hoffman completely outshone Tom Cruise in that movie, so I guess I wasn't paying much attention to him. All in all, it’s an awesome flick with a killer soundtrack.

Finally! Someone actually noticed that the soundtrack is absolutely phenomenal!
Saddam Hussein: Hanging or firing squad? in Philosophy ·
Profinjena said:Yeah. The thing is, we don't need news coverage for this. 😬 Personally, I’d much rather my tax dollars go toward feeding prisoners than have my vote decide someone's death sentence. Besides, if I don't pay for their food, that money just ends up in the pockets of some other crook—usually a politician—so what’s the difference?
But if you're asking if I want them dead? No.
And honestly, even if someone murdered someone close to me, I wouldn't wish death on them. And no, I'm not saying that just because I haven't lived through it.

I don't want them dead either—I want them to live a long, miserable life of martyrdom. So yeah, I'm against the death penalty, but not out of some sense of "humanity." I just want them to suffer!
Saddam Hussein: Hanging or firing squad? in Philosophy ·
Alright then... what's the "right" punishment for murder? Spending the rest of your life rotting in a tiny cell with nothing but free meals and a newspaper to keep you company?
Saddam Hussein: Hanging or firing squad? in Philosophy ·
Profinjena said:Sure, but I’m talking about whether the goal itself is justifiable, not just how you get there. If the end goal is murder, then it can't—and shouldn't—be justified. Period. Which means the methods used aren't either, but that's secondary.

How on earth is that secondary when the damage is already done?

Rambo/Stallone

Sylvester Stallone is in a league of his own... everything else is just soft. 😬 😬 😬
Heavy metal in Music ·
One more question—do these different subgenres of metal actually exclude one another?
It just doesn't make sense to me. Like, if you’re into a certain power metal band, it’s supposedly IMPOSSIBLE for you to listen to thrash, or...

WTF???

Austin Phillips3, you are a truly fascinating individual.
You brag about listening to metal for over 11 years, but the sad reality is you’re still spinning the exact same tracks you were back then.
There’s this weird paradox among metalheads—we start out with the most extreme stuff (kind of like frustrated kids and teenagers), and then eventually we realize there's actually more interesting stuff out there. I’m curious how old you are, because I was stuck on Cannibal until I was maybe 17 or 18. What exactly is the problem with bands like Hateforest, Tristania, Beseech, or Dark Tranquillity? I know they aren't exactly "epic," but still...

Megan Smith12 said:I've only ever heard the Riding on winds of eternity album from Rhapsody, but they aren't bad.

Just a quick heads-up: Riding on winds of eternity is actually a track off the Symphony of Enchanted Lands Part 1 album..

Thanx, I had no clue. I totally fried the CD and just scribbled down the title without double-checking. 👍
