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!

When you devalue the word "terrorist" by saying it applies to everyone who disagrees with your politics.

Nah, statistically an overwhelming majority of politically charged terror attacks are committed by the right.


Well that isnt true unless you cherry pick and apply different standards to both sides. Its actually about even across the board

Its only true if you look at the stats.


The best data shows 25% Muslim right wing extremist or "left-wing" (that Bernie guy who shot people at a baseball game would be an example), and 75% non-Muslim right wing.

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.

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.

Also Trevor Noah: "Pay attention to me! Please! Look at the outrageous shit I'm saying! Talk about me!"

Quite amazing that people will try to shame a show host for wanting attention.
His job is reliant on people giving him attention. That's literally what he's paid to do. Get people's attention.


And educate them on pressing issues, not race bait. Here's a video that challenges the view of "Black people will always get shot by cops"



The exception is not the rule. We have a training problem, which in a county of more than 300 million people, with anywhere between 600 to 800 thousand of them being sworn in officers, is of course going to produce news articles that can provide confirmation bias towards almost any view someone has.

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.

The days of the 80s racist LA white cops isnt a thing. Yeah theres bad eggs but its not the norm. Ive seen one get fired for constantly making age jokes about another cop. Majority of these sensationalized shootings fall under graham v Connor, or a good use of force model. I would bet my life 100 times this cop from lack of communication and training saw the dude holding a gun and immediately shot. In the day of bodycam I really find it hard to believe he just came in there with the intention of shooting a black person lol


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.

According to some reports, she shot herself TWICE in the head! How is that even possible? Wouldn't the kinetic energy to the brain from the first blast render you unconscious? If this is true, it's one for the text books.

it's surprisingly common
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiple_gunshot_suicide


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.

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.

The California gunman who shot and killed his ex-wife and four others before turning the weapon on himself had filed for divorce last year because he believed she had cheated on him.

Officials say there are indications of a domestic violence motive in Wednesdays rampage, but investigators dont know what specifically set Javier Casarez off.

Kern County Sheriff Donny Youngblood says Thursday that detectives are looking into whether Bolanos may have had relationships with two of the victims, Manuel Contreras or Antonio Valadez.

Definitely having fun overall, haven't played a console game in years, so this has been a nice one to jump back in to. May have to check out the new God of War and/or that Horizon game, they both look good too.


Yeah, I've died a TON playing this game. Overall feels a lot more difficult than Arkham. I think a lot of that is due to more enemies having guns, so you really have to pay attention in combat to what enemies are doing.


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.
