Has anyone actually tried this before??? Like, taking blood and plasma to cook up some kind of miracle drug??? Is it even worth the hype and where’s the best spot to get it done in the States?
Then they basically inject the stuff straight into your knee joint.
The cartilage in my knee is pretty much gone, but the doctors are refusing to operate and keep pushing this instead...

thanks!

The country had a smaller GDP than the Netherlands and fewer people than Romania...

All I can say is ha ha ha ha ha... You're living in a dream world, buddy! Just take a quick look at the actual military tech available... 🙏

Gary James88 said:The ideologies might vary slightly, but the underlying mindset is exactly the same...

Both sides were massive dictators...

When you treat the people like sheep, you’ve basically found the magic formula... except Adolf Hitler was just opening the door for the Nazis to do their thing for his own gain...
Joseph Stalin was actually a bit bolder, though—he had the nerve to say a massive NO to big old Russia and the global police force, the USA...

But man, I seriously can't stand those "super patriots" acting like they weren't part of the most cowardly army ever...🤣 🤣 🤣paired up with those little tech scammers....😂

Now everyone's waiting for the Battle of Gettysburg or something happening on the Neretva, or maybe Walter defending Boston... he he he... typical ABC style... claiming the movie didn't hurt or kill anyone...

Richard Wilson4 said:I see people trying to spin the story again, acting like the partisans could've taken down the Germans all on their own...

Every single time those guys fought a battle, the casualties were just too massive to even count...

If the Germans had actually won at Stalingrad back in '43, the whole American Front would’ve been a total formality...

ps
I just feel for all those Americans who died just so Mexicans could live in the same country... 👎

And if only 40% of Americans had pushed for independence in 1990, and if the Mexicans hadn't gone so wild, we probably would've ended up as a confederation today...

Look, I’m telling you, this kind of mindset is exactly why we’re in such a mess right now... Marshall basically played both the Russians and the Americans against each other, but then this "all-powerful" current leadership just completely trashed the whole South... It’s honestly amateur hour. That country was way too powerful for these small-minded ideas; it was way ahead of its time... Seriously, if it wasn't for the atomic bomb ending the war, things would be totally different, so quit the rambling...
Where was our military tech or our industry back then? Which direction were we even heading? That’s what really rubbed them the wrong way. You gotta take those historical national strengths and actually use them to lead... Well, it didn't take long for them to realize that, even for the Russians who were right there alongside us... and look where we are now. It's just like Mexico, which is basically being turned into an American military training ground right now. Such a shame, really.🙏

Susan Fox86 said:I wonder if the movie will include that scene where the SS officers let Marshall and the Supreme Chief pass, only to slam on the brakes again later.

Milovan Đilas..

We were pinned under a rock, completely trapped. The SS officers were standing right above us, just watching. They could have wiped us all out with a single bomb strike. Someone actually suggested we should all just take our own lives right then and there. But Svetozar Vukmanović Tempo stepped in and said that proletarians don't pull stunts like that; they fight until their very last bullet, and only then do they go down with him. So, those SS officers just stood there for a few minutes, turned around, and walked away.

By the way, the critics absolutely tore Stipa Delić's film apart.

Just keep making those movies, I guess... because honestly, if it wasn't for them, we’d probably be part of Russia or Germany right now—just pieces of what used to be occupied territory. Who knows who would even be alive today! For everyone thinking otherwise, seriously, shut it. History is what it is, unfortunately. And look, the war for independence is a whole different story. My old man fought in it and lost his health because of it, so that doesn't change my view. My take is realistic, not some nationalist nonsense like those narrow-minded hicks you see around here on this forum... most of those guys were busy living it up on trips to Germany while the actual fighting was happening here. So, just back off. What happened after WWII is a completely separate chapter...
The regime was what it was, but people actually had more than what we have today... cheers!🙏

Jean-Claude Van Damme absolutely crushed it with Kickboxer, and honestly, that’s how he’ll always be legendary to me—just pure, gritty martial arts action...
I feel like Stallone and Schwarzenegger movies usually had this much more intense, serious vibe to them...

I wouldn't even put Bruce Lee in that same category because the Die Hard trilogy is just on a whole different level than those flicks...well, if you don't count the fourth one...

But hey, I gotta give props to all three of them...
In my head, I always group them like this:
Jean-Claude Van Damme with Kickboxer and that classic Hard Target
Bruce Lee with Die Hard and The Fifth Element
And Schwarzenegger with Conan, Predator, and Terminator—man, he might just be the ultimate icon with those three legendary roles...🙏

That's my boy🙏

Richard Wilson4 said:I’m not gonna start a whole thread just about Travolta...

We’ve already covered him enough...

I’m looking at some other names instead...

PS
Where’d Meg Ryan disappear to?

As for Julia Roberts, word is she dealt with some health stuff, and from what I hear, Demi Moore has pretty much just stepped away from the spotlight for good...

There are tons of them out there...

Kim Basinger, Michael Keaton... honestly, Norton feels a bit off lately, and Bale is totally overrated in my book....
Danny Glover, Laurence Fishburne, Kevin Costner...

Anthony Smith3 said:I mean, look at Ang Lee playing around with the Hulk and still managing to pull off one of the most serious, top-tier comic book movies ever. Or you’ve got Christopher Nolan with his Batman run, Sam Mendes doing *Road to Perdition*, Rodriguez with *Sin City*, or even Cronenberg with *A History of Violence*. They actually made it work. ☕

Honestly, the Hulk in that movie was way, way better than the version we got with Norton... and man, it would've been so much cooler if they just kept the story moving instead of stopping to explain everything all over again!

Anthony Smith3 said:After crushing it last year with that semi-doc thriller "Sylvester Stallone," where everyone was shocked at how good his acting actually was, Jean Claude van Damme is looking to strike lightning twice. His next move is "The Appalachian Trail," a thriller-drama he’s doing it all for—writing, directing, producing, editing, and starring. He’s mostly self-funding this one with about $5 million out of his own pocket, but since he’s doing all the heavy lifting himself for free, pretty much every cent goes straight onto the screen. He’s also got family helping out on this one: Jean Claude van Damme is producing alongside his son Jean Claude van Damme, while Christopher and Bianca van Varenberg both have roles in the cast. They shot the whole thing in Thailand, though we don't have a release date yet. We should see the official trailer hit the big screen at this year's Sundance Film Festival. A few people, including director Mabrouk EL Mechri (who helmed "Sylvester Stallone") and Mike Leeder from Impact magazine, have already caught an early rough cut. Their feedback has been glowing, claiming Jean Claude van Damme’s acting is just as solid as it was in "Sylvester Stallone" and that his directing is incredibly confident. Take it with a grain of salt, obviously, but these guys don't usually hype things up for nothing. Even though the poster makes it look like a straight-up action flick, Mike and Mabrouk are insisting it’s actually a drama where the action is secondary, feeling more like a "Johnnie to" movie. Also, just a heads up, the original title was "full Love," but they switched it to "The Appalachian Trail" because it fits the story better.

Oh man, this is absolutely FANTASTIC! Seriously, I am loving this!

Anthony Smith3 said:I wouldn't bet my life on that... but people under 20? Man, that's a whole different ballgame...

Honestly, I’d push that number up to anyone under 25. Most folks haven't even seen them, and if they did, they probably didn't think twice about it...
For me personally, those scenes totally stuck—you know, the one where that soldier in the Legionnaire talks about grabbing some grub while they're scouting that German guy in the tower with the machine gun... then suddenly, boom, he gets taken out by a cannon... man, those were the days! Such classic movies!

Anthony Smith3 said:Man... alongside legends like Clint, Bronson, and Chow Yun-fat, he’s easily one of my absolute favorites...🙏

Hey there, Anthony Smith3...👍

Man, this guy is a total legend in my book. Just pure American greatness.
His filmography is absolutely stacked with absolute classics like Leon: The Professional, The Untouchables, and Taxi Driver... Seriously, these were the movies I grew up on, and honestly? They still hold up perfectly today!
I’m curious, though—has anyone else here checked him out? Anyone else a huge fan?

Check out a few of these legendary scenes:

briskhound2 said:In a nutshell, Ridley Scott just had this incredible vision—he captured something on film that modern movies, even with all their massive CGI budgets and fancy tech, can't seem to touch... they just don't hit the same way.

Alien or Blade Runner?

I mean both, but I'm leaning a little more toward Alien...

To sterile, clinical cleanliness totally kills the vibe for me in Odyssey...
While Ridley absolutely nailed it by showing us a future filled with overcrowded cities, grime, the grit of a hard life, and climate change, and all that good stuff...
Even Alien works so well because of that sense of decay, that worn-out, gloomy atmosphere...it’s just how things are, and honestly, how they probably will be...people just keep pushing further out, hunting for more minerals and energy sources...
In a nutshell, Scott had this genius vision and put it on screen, and even today, despite all the crazy CGI and high-tech wizardry, movies just can't pull off that kind of impact....
