Topic | What are your top 5 flims of all time? |
Ammonitida 12/31/18 9:25:14 AM #83 | 1. Aliens -- Sci Fi horror perfected, with the most memorable cast of characters in sci-fi film history. Would be panned as racist these days for casting a white woman to play a Latina in brown face. 2. Jurassic Park -- The groundbreaking dinosaur CGI still holds up well, and the Williams score is 50% of why the movie is so great. Too bad the franchise went downhill from there, ending (hopefully) with the god-awful Jurassic World reboot. 3. Terminator 2 -- The same basic plot as Terminator 1, but executed far better. 4. Interstellar -- by far the best sci-fi film of the 2000s, with a deep and emotional time travel plot, excellent depiction of alien planets (especially the frozen cloud planet), and Zimmer's best film score to date. 5. Gattaca -- You don't get better drama sci-fi than this. My top 5 films that I love but everyone hates. 1. Skyline -- Hands down the fearsome aliens to ever appear in an Alien Invasion movie. The way they harvested human brains to power their exosuits was disturbing. That is until the awful sequel reduced them to mere Power Rangers foes getting their asses kicked by Indonesian Ninjas! WTF happened there? 2. Cutthroat Island -- This was such a fun adventure movie! Only gets better with repeated viewings! 3. The Ring Two -- I must be the only one on Earth who thought this was better than the first one. 4. The Skeleton Key -- This is the movie where Jordan Peele ripped off his "Get Out" script from. It's so fucking underrated it should be criminal. 5. Jason X -- I once marathoned the whole franchise for Halloween with some friends, and this was the only one that stood out as a good movie. What the hell do people see in the first one? It's so boring! |

It's from the ADL, which lists any murder committed by an alleged white supremacist or someone with right-wing views, even if the murder is domestic violence-related, as a "right wing attack". Most are not attacks on random people. |

Ammonitida 11/29/18 8:22:05 AM #195 | It literally isn't. It is. It's really odd that you changed the subject and then changed it back. I may have misread the thread if your comment, "If I said it, I'd get modded" was in reference to what PonyLivesMatter wrote. I assumed you meant, "if I said white people commit all terror attacks, I'd be modded". It's also noteworthy that your numbers would be much different if you didn't include 9/11 since that was single biggest terrorist attack, aka an outlier. Those numbers don't include 9/11. I said since 9/11. It's 40% of fatalities and 25% of attacks. I suppose since you're just intent on changing the subject to "those durn mooslems", you're really afraid to accept the data. The study I based this on separated all terror attracts perpetrated by Muslims since 9/11 from those committed by domestic right-wing extremists. I'm not singling out "those durn mooslems" because of any bias as you imply. That's just how the study grouped them, and 9/11/Pulse are just a very infamous examples of terrorism not carried out by white people. |

Ammonitida 11/28/18 2:15:45 PM #139 | darkprince45 posted... This is a case of bad training, bad cop, bad communication not racism. There was a really good Reddit thread I read about this earlier. Some really good numbers as well. It was a study involving officer involved shootings with black people and the figure actually showed that white cops shot black people less than any other race. As well as some other good statistics, it was from yesterday I wish I could find it. I posted a similar study that used the Washington Post database (the best database there currently is). It found that overall white officers were no more likely to shoot dead black suspects than white suspects. It also found that black cops were just as likely as white cops to shoot dead unarmed black suspects (but some caution should be exercised here, as the sample size is very small). You wouldn't know any of that from the left wing media's fixation on the race of the cop involved in this case, or other cases like it. It also cited a prior study that found that ER treatment differed dramatically by race, resulting in significantly higher rates of mortality among black trauma patients -- a variable not controlled for in any of the studies on officer-involved shootings I have read. Some of the racial disparity in police shooting deaths may simply be due to the quality of hospital treatment. |

Ammonitida posted...DarkTransient posted...Article says the shooter died from a shot to her own head? involved two shots to the head, the first of which missed the brain. So the first gunshot may not have penetrated the skull. However, in the Jodi Arias case, a single gunshot from a 25 caliber (hollow point slug) managed to blow a massive hole in her victim's skull. This Moseley person used an even more powerful handgun, and at a closer range. |

Ammonitida 09/20/18 5:39:33 PM #52 | P4wn4g3 posted... One of my parents told me at one point they had an ER patient who was an attempted suicide by gun who shot from the bottom of the jaw. The bullet passed through the person's mouth and cut their tongue out, through their sinus, into the skull, bounced around some, passed out some side of the head. The person survived with mental r*****ation, no tongue, sinus issues, etc. I remember in the Jodie Arias case, the defense insisted that her victim Travis Alexander must have been conscious after the gun blast to the head. Since the bullet had penetrated the skull and struck the brain, the medical examiner testified that Travis Alexander must have been unconscious. A rebuttal witness was later called by the defense, and he testified that one could still be conscious after a gunshot to the head, but when asked to describe case studies, he couldn't think of any. |

He stands approximately 5-foot-10 and was last seen wearing a white t-shirt with graphics on the front and dark-colored cargo shorts, according to FIU police. |

Indeed. Difficulty was my main concern as it usually is for single player games. I like games to be very hard. Usually I have to place handicaps on myself to make a game challenging. Don't need to with Spiderman. Yet. |
