With covid around you shuldnt go to a movie teather.

Disney cape shit sucks i agree. But be responsible and dont go to enclosed crowded places when there is an airborn plague.

A recurrent gag in the chinese novel when a mage revolts is that the mc often figths other mages that have anti magic talismans or are messing with his casting so he shoots them with a flintlock

Man you are making me feel like im stealing drug war veteran value. We only operated for a few months and sold mainly to fishermen and sailormen.

Well i dont any more. But yea it was a fun bussines venture, comming up with the various chemichal proceses.

Not necessarly. Maybe the house has something the car does not that is preventing the windows from working.

Money wise I once ran a speed lab and lost a couple grand on it after my associate chikened out because his half brother got whacked. But it was fun.

Overall. I studied for an acounting tecnician in my teenage years. Thats what i regret the most in my life. No human being should go through that. One of the reasons i dont have a college degree is tgat after going through that i sworeupon my soul and upon the mass that i would never again go through anything similar.

Brazil.

Great photography. Great actors good sets. Relatable charachters. And it perfectly encapsulates the curent trends of the world.

I tougth he was. Then i guess there arent any good ones after all.

Osama bin laden did 9 11

Exactly. He just goes with the flow. No soul of his own. Just another cog in a fascist machine.

This is even more notisable when you compare him with other heninlein protagonists who are also teenagers and join the army or simmilar institutions. They have their own agendas and goals.

The best one is the scyfi mini series. They have awsome sets and coustumes. The did change some things but not as much as the old one. The old one sucks in all aspects except their casting for paul is the best. The new one has by far the best casting(except gor paul) but some of the lines are delivered wierdly and the sets and the contrast of the colors is a bad choise.

Heinlein also claimed the book its “swiftian in intent” its just done dry. And probably wouldnt have been adapted well to tv.

That being said in the book it was clear carmencita was way out of jhonys league and he was very aware of that. While other heinlenian heroes are generally horny.

Another difference from the heinlenian hero is that jhony is not very smart. He lacks agency and any positive agenda. He just stumbles around.

Taras bulba. the american version focuses way too much on the love story. The sets are awfull. Taras does not even get burned at the stake.

The russian verssion is better. But it still misses the point. It plays it straigth while the book is suposed to be satire. They kill his wife at the begining using it as a justification for the war, when she should die at the end as a consequence of taras being an ass.

The point of the book is to show that the myths of the russian frontiersman are bullshit, because if they really acted like taras does they would all get whiped out.

Gogol is still an arch reactionary and you can tell he geuinley beleves some of the things he is moking. So its suposed to have a silly ironic self mocking sligthly nhilist tone. Remininicent of a lot of stuff in the internet. But both adaptations play it straigth and pay too much atention to the polish girl.

This but unironically. In medieval total war 2 everythinh except for things like elephants had 1 hitpoint. And a certain chance to recive damage based on atack and defence values. So if the model was hit it died. And it looked much cooler. Contrast that with modern total war games like warhammer where there are health bars. a cavalary charge would send some dudes flying 20mm into the air and after bouncing several times they get up and walk back. Arrows and misiles also work in wierd ways. With the unit loosing sometimes half of its health before anybody dies.
