Man, Kenek, this thing is trash. What actually worked—and I mean really worked—was the acting and the production design. The technical stuff was solid. Everything else? Meh. Totally lukewarm. And don't even get me started on that plane scene halfway through. It completely kills the vibe. Just two minutes of pointless, mindless action dropped into a movie that doesn't care about pacing or style at all. It felt totally out of nowhere.

Jason Anderson4 said:I mean, who's even starring in this thing, is it like a Tom Clancy thriller with some high-level DC politicians? 😕

Honestly, those guys would be way better actors.

You're wrong about Emmanuel Lubezki. I've never seen this many mainstream types obsessing over a cinematographer like they are right now.

Matthew Anderson4 said:nah.
should I? looks kinda mid to me.

Don't bother. The Revenant is a pass for me. Too much marketing, too much hype, all those visual filters... just not feeling it.

Matthew Anderson4 said:let's gooooo 🎉

man, you seen that Spy bridge documentary yet?

Anyway, just signing my name on the dotted line

Matthew Anderson4 said:not really feeling this debate, but gotta say I hate states

let's all just hold hands or something lol

same

can we all just hold hands please lol

yeah, I'm all for this total mess too

Honestly, I’m loving how triggered all those "Facebook/Instagram artists" are because Grubnić used their shots. Watching them cry about it is pure entertainment.

It’s pretty simple. If they actually want to be what they claimed to be, they can't go pulling moves that contradict their whole brand. If they do, they're gonna end up exactly where they are right now. But hey, if they want to act just like everyone else, then sure, they can do all the same crap everybody else does.

Did they suddenly develop all these principles out of nowhere? Maybe they just didn't have them back then.

Just Petrin and a few other tough nuts who actually know their stuff.

Michelle Doyle61 said:True, but the real question is why they didn't just pick the Republican Party a few days ago. They had a perfect opening after the President went on the attack against them. Instead, they reached back out to the Democratic Party just to keep this circus running. What's the point? Just to stage another political drama like we saw yesterday?

It feels like there are all these strange games being played behind closed doors, and honestly, we’ll probably never know what the real story is. It reminds me of how my old boss used to shuffle things around just to keep everyone guessing. Even now, Republican voters claim the Bridge party is just a way for the Democratic Party to steal their votes, while Democratic voters swear the Bridge party is actually working for the Republicans. We've just been spinning in circles for two months now.

People always use that excuse to deny anything. "If that's true, then why didn't..." It's the classic alibi. Total relativism used to dodge accountability.

Look at this case—they managed to flip 15 signatures in favor of the party that was supposedly out of the running. In an instant.

Yeah, how's it going.

The Bridge was leaning toward the Republican Party from day one. This whole talk about a three-party coalition? It's just a smokescreen. If you can't see that right now, you're clueless.

Matthew Anderson4 said:Since you can clearly see from the video she was in a rush, it's pretty easy to assume she wasn't being careful crossing a street that wasn't exactly empty either. This cop probably doesn't pull over everyone who jaywalks; he's likely thinking the same thing you and everyone else is.

How's he supposed to write her a ticket if he doesn't want to stop her?
Follow her... where? All the way home?

Man, what are you even saying. He’d just tackle her to the ground and call for backup, for Christ's sake.

totally justified

I honestly wonder what he’d say if his grandma was a Real Estate Agent and the cop was Barcaboy

Since when did you suddenly grow a brain, for real?

Matthew Anderson4 said:Everyone's seen it a million times, starting with the fact that we've all jumped a red light a million times ourselves and never got a ticket or a warning. Pretty sure this cop has seen plenty of others blow through a red light and just winked at them a million times, too. Or seen someone peeing behind a dumpster, forgetting their ID, or speeding, or breaking any other one of those countless "trivial" laws broken every single day. All without a second thought. But what's the point of those laws anyway? What's the point of his miserable shifts if he's only ever going to go after major criminals and dangerous people?

I wasn't asking "what wouldn't happen." Obviously this shouldn't have happened, he wouldn't want to rewind time, and neither would anyone else.
So, what are you suggesting? That we scrap the laws about crossing the street entirely, or that they should just never be enforced in practice? Or maybe you think they should be strictly enforced every single time, which honestly sounds like the most extreme idea of the three.

Man, why does everything have to be an either-or thing? Obviously, he doesn't *only* have to hunt down major felons. That's impossible. It’s simple: some infractions are trivial and, for the most part, aren't even really offenses—it's all about context. If the road is clear, people are gonna cross. Nobody stands there like a deer in headlights on an empty street waiting for the pedestrian signal to turn green. Some laws are just stupid and need to be more about situational compromise. Like, if some idiot sprints in front of a moving subway train, yeah, they should get a ticket. Laws need context, not just some rigid formula.

She missed the mark on her approach, no question. When you corner me with that "what would you do" question, look, she’d probably just let her go or give her a slap on the wrist for something minor. She isn't gonna tackle her like some drunk, aggressive psycho. It just doesn't fit.

If things were actually organized around here, it wouldn't even be a violation. Just crossing a local street.

Matthew Anderson4, the way laws and procedures are handled in this country is a joke. Seen it a million times. Based on this specific case, I don't see how anyone could think otherwise. Some things are just common sense. She didn't handle herself perfectly—sure—but the reaction she got was totally overkill. Given the players involved and the circumstances, the whole thing is just pathetic and unnecessary. The cop probably has his buddies backing him up, but I bet even he knows he shouldn't have let it go down like this.

Matthew Anderson4 said:Honestly, this whole debate is pointless.

What would you even do if you were a cop? Just turn a blind eye?

Not this. People jaywalk all the time without even looking, so often it's not even worth counting on a daily basis. I crossed the street five times today alone. Supposedly that's less dangerous than those idiots speeding through town constantly. And you know what? They still get away with it (mostly) without a hitch.

Give me a break. Just imagine if someone treated your mother like that.

The whole procedure is garbage. You don't just grab a woman in her 60s just because she crossed on a red light while walking—let alone doing it by pinning her against a car while cuffing her behind her back.

Saying they should be focusing on more serious crimes isn't an attack on one specific officer; it’s about how the entire police department operates. When is this kind of heavy-handed approach even justified?
