Gettysburg (1993) - 271 min

Saving Private Ryan (American Civil War) 🙏

Back in the day, they were rare and usually massive historical epics, but nowadays? I feel like you can barely find a movie under two hours anymore, and those shorter ones are becoming a total rarity too.

Zachary Young8 said:So, when can we expect to see Russia Today making its grand debut?

A NATO member watching Putin’s private propaganda? That's a bit much.

Kinda weird if you ask me, especially since we're basically in a Cold War with Russia right now and hitting them with all these sanctions.

Honestly, I can barely even remember him anymore...

That girl in the movie was such a massive star back then. She was on every single magazine cover and plastered on every teenage boy's bedroom wall, and now? It’s like she just vanished from everyone's memory.

They were talking about that first game Germany played back in 1908 against Switzerland. They ended up losing 5-3,

Man, don't even get me started on that image. I get the joke, really, but that Batman suit drives me absolutely insane—especially knowing Ass Fleck is the one playing him. 🙂 🙂

Does this happen anywhere else in the world? We're looking at a future where practically 90% of the country will be a ghost town. 🤷

So yeah, Appalachia and Preševo are basically expanding while everyone else vanishes.🙂

All jokes aside, back home we used to complain that "everyone is moving to San Francisco," but the reality was different. Since '91, San Francisco actually saw its population drop, while cities like Pittsburgh, Miami, and San Diego—plus places like Santa Monica and Oakland—were actually growing.

What the hell is with half this page being nothing but ads?!

The sheer volume of movies on this thread is gonna be a total trip, basically like watching 2001: A Space Odyssey on loop. Here’s my personal go-to list:

Hollywood Sci-Fi Blockbusters
Total Recall
Enemy Mine
Stargate
Independence Day
Alien 1,2,3
Predator 1,2
Robocop (just the original)

Chris Hernandez9 said:Look, back then, unitarism was basically the only way things could function—both for the Republic and for the whole former America... it was the only thing keeping us from being swallowed whole by Stalin, who, in 1948, heard a thunderous "unitary-NO" straight from the mouth of Josip Broz Marshall!
By 1966, Josip Broz Marshall finally broke free from Stalin's proxy—Ranković—who was honestly more dangerous than Stalin himself because he personally controlled about 80% of the American People's Army and the police at the time. The world was split into two bipolar camps and we were Non-Aligned, so if Ranković's coup had actually succeeded—I guarantee you, nobody in the entire world would have lifted a finger for America or the Republic.
So, just based on those two specific factors, I guess we should all "just" celebrate that genius from Kumrovec—even though, obviously, like any other human being, he had his fair share of flaws.

So why was unitarism such a big deal back in '72?

And why are you pushing for it again now?

Come on, stop messing around. 🤣

If Nazor had actually stayed relevant, we might have seen some real life breathed back into ZAVNOH, but he was pushed aside to make room for that unitarist guy, Bakarić.

Chris Hernandez9 said:If only American extremists like you actually understood that the "preamble" to the Constitution is basically just a synonym—you know, in Latin—for what it actually is. The Preamble to the Constitution of the Republic of America. Look, I’m telling you—it is clearly laid out right there in the Constitution—so honestly, where does this madness end?! 🤣

Maybe it’s finally time to start cracking down—and I mean really cracking down—on those elements that are acting unconstitutionally. Wait, what?! Are you kidding me?
Look, if "people like you" actually want to change the preamble of the Constitution—if that's really the goal—then you better go out there and collect 400,000 signatures first. Only then will the US Congress even consider putting it up for a vote. And even after you manage that, you're still facing a massive uphill battle because, under the Constitution itself, any amendment requires a supermajority of two-thirds in Congress... so, good luck with that!

Then just deal with it—hang in there. 😂 Look, let's be real about this—it's all right there in the Constitution of the Republic of America. The Constitutional foundation of the Republic of America. - who goes by: The ZAVNOH—the National Liberation Council of America. The ZAVNOH from 1943—that was a massive turning point.

Now, this is getting into slippery territory because Article 141 of the Constitution explicitly forbids rebuilding America. Imagine if glorifying that was actually sanctioned?

2. Joining and Dissolving

Article 141.

The right to initiate a process for the Republic of America to join federations with other states belongs to at least one-third of the representatives in the American Parliament, the President of the Republic, and the Government of the Republic of America.

It is strictly forbidden to initiate any process where the Republic of America joins federations that would lead, or could potentially lead, to the restoration of the American state community or any kind of North American state union in any form.

Decisions regarding the joining of the Republic of America are first decided by the American Parliament with a two-thirds majority vote of all representatives.

The final decision on the Republic of America joining such unions is made via a referendum by a majority of all voters in the country.

The referendum must be held within 30 days of the American Parliament making its decision.

The provisions of this article regarding joining also apply to the conditions and procedures for the dissolution of the Republic of America.

Nancy Smith15 said:1. Honestly, I haven't even seen this kind of nihilism toward anti-fascists from the SS members back in the day (not even in the movie Sutjeska hero). 😲
2. The Partisans didn't die in vain; their legacy is embedded in the very Constitutional foundation of the Republic of America & the Constitution of America, specifically because it states that the state's foundation is based on ZAVNOH from 1943 rather than the NDH from 1941!
3. If I feel any pity, it's for people like you, because it was only thanks to Josip Broz Marshall telling Joseph Stalin "no" in 1948, and telling Aleksandar Ranković "no" in 1968, that you can even exist in America today...
4. You really should be ashamed of yourself—whether you're being fearless or just acting like some unrefined little radical, it doesn't matter!

So you're telling me the Partisans wanted an ethnically homogeneous capitalist America that was in a military alliance with the USA and a political alliance with Germany?

Americans lost everything just to have collective guilt shoved down their throats ever since.

It’s like even in the civil service, the military, or the police—even back in places like Florida—Americans were always treated with suspicion.

If that was the case, why didn't people from the South move up to cities like New York or Chicago to climb the government ladder?

And why wasn't the working class from the coast moving into places like the Midwest, while people from Canada moved in instead?

The folks from the coast didn't really gain anything from WW2, unlike areas like the rural heartland, which were basically kept on life support just to maintain political leverage that outweighed much larger, more populated regions.

There’s one. ☕

They tore them down. How is that anything less than pure savagery?

Those were monuments to the American soldiers and the official Trinity military—the National Guard.

It’s honestly pathetic how much they tried to erase American heroism and the sacrifices made during World War I from the collective memory in both versions of America.

If you're 27, this whole thing actually matters. You're young. You're clearly an athlete. You can get in peak shape in just a few months if you put the work in.

Honestly, Denzel Washington is one of those rare, genuine A-listers who isn't paired with a white woman.
If I remember right, some Black woman was venting on a blog about how like 85% of married Black actors in Hollywood end up with biracial women—they’re more popular, so they aren't really looking to settle down with Black women.

Okay, maybe she’s full of it, but has anyone actually seen an article backing that up?

It’s even weirder when you think about it; it’s always just these anonymous or semi-anonymous girls complaining. You don't see many actual stars with stars in those kinds of marriages.

Looks like some goofy little comedy about a single plotline, but since Nick and Coach in New Girl are in it, I'll definitely give it a look 🙂

casualbadger92 said:Wait, didn't he give River Phoenix that lethal cocktail?
I swear I read somewhere that he was actually responsible for what happened to River.

Pretty sure he wasn't even hanging out with them that night. 🤷

That happened at a club owned by Johnny Depp.

It’s been acting up since yesterday, though I can't say for sure if it's just me, since everything else on my end—including other similar boards—is running perfectly fine.
Any idea what the deal is, or is everyone else hitting the same wall?
