I'm sure Rey will sacrifice herself at the end of the trilogy, if anyone. No male hero will be allowed to selflessly sacrifice himself unless he is first berated as being a failure and a fool (Poe), needs to be lectured to by a female over the timing and value of any attempted sacrifice with words about the value of love over hate (Finn), or is we are told needs to "redeem" himself for causing the collapse of the Republic (Han & Luke). I still don't understand why Holdo and Leia aren't just as culpable for their failures and stupidities (the total collapse of the Republic and the disastrous situation the Resistance finds itself in at the beginning of TLJ). It would never occur to Disney to demand that they (Leia, Holdo) "redeem themselves" for those obvious failings.
It's definitely implied in the originally Get Carter that his brother's daughter is actually his. Also, Carter didn't seem too concerned that this stuff was going on that he himself was tangentially beforehand involved with until it affected a family member. Also, he may have injured or killed an innocent in the film. When he throws the guy off the roof the body hits a car down below. If anyone was inside the car they could either be injured or dead.
I'm still waiting for the Bond film "You Only Live and Let Die Another Day".
She had a proboscis the size of Geonosis.
I got the impression the OP was talking about real life just as much as about the movie. I doubt it would have mattered to him or her how well-written the characters were. Having said that, yes, they were badly written characters.

"You're a liar, a cheat, and a child molester, and you French kiss your dog in the mouth."
Good stuff.
She was ejected out of the ship and should be travelling in a direction away from the ship, should she not? Also, they weren't in orbit around a planet like the ISS.
"IT'S A TOURIST TRAP!"
Ah, yes, I forgot that. Makes perfect sense now.
It's as cold as they come, impossible to trace. So you don't have to worry about prints, Mike. I put a special tape on the trigger and the butt. Here, try it...
As long as he didn't make the mistake that Dukakis made and go riding around in a take he might have had a chance.
Aside from Best Picture and Best Actor Cabaret actually came close to sweeping the Oscars in 1972, didn't it? I would love to have seen the vote count for "Actor" and "Picture". I bet it was pretty close. I'll wager a significant percentage of the Old Guard loathed this film and all it represented and would rather have seen a musical get it.

Col Needham: "Can't do it, IMDb Board."
The elderly Michael passed his essence on to the small dog that was loitering around his chair at the end of Godfather, Part III. The dog becomes his successor, and the next film in the series will be called The Dogfather, Part I.
I'm real but you're not. I invented you, actually.
No, that's too easy. She would have pulled the planet over to her and terraformed it - while at the same time composing a great symphony.
I believe Richard Farnsworth in Misery (1987) was arbogasted as well. Would the verb for being killed early on in a film after being set up as the hero/heroine be called getting "craned" or "leighed" or "marioned"?
Sexy, damn sexy. That red and white striped top and that chest...woof!
Arbogast \ verb \ är-bō-gast \
: To unexpectedly murder a sympathetic character in the mid-point of a film, especially one acting on their own initiative as an investigator, or acting as an investigating agent for a third party.
ex. "After an epic cross-country odyssey, Dick Halloran was arbogasted by Jack Torrance only moments after entering the Overlook Hotel."
I would love to use all my tiles in a Scrabble game to form the word "arbogast" for a 50-point bonus.
Was Kaufman perhaps making a prescient comment about the rise of the Evangelical right which ultimately culminated in the elections of Reagan and W. Bush?
