Why Not???
In ANH Vader says "When I left you, I was the learner. Now I am The Master." However at the start of Revenge of the Sith Anakin was already a Jedi Knight and joined the Jedi Council, and was not Obi-Wan's Padwan anymore. So continuity is already a bit sketchy there. And there is no direct reference to Mustafur being their last meeting, or that it's been 20 years.
Also not only does Obi-Wan immediately recognize Darth Vader, but he knows that it's what Anakin became. So at some point he has to learn all this, and there is no indication how he does. Perhaps he does make an attempt to kill Vader.
Or maybe they communicate thru the force.
It doesn't matter how rich a dad might be, or how relieved he is that his kid is safe, if he sees that anybody charged anything to room service without his permission he's going to be pissed.
And of course they aren't paying for it. They're probably taking it right downstairs to the concierge, handing it back to him and just simply saying "Nope".
And she was going to Northwestern too, so she must be really smart and obviously she comes from a family with money. She probably has some high paying professional job now.
Of course the one downside might be that she moved to Paris to be closer to her parents.
<blockquote> He’s an incel by choice. </blockquote>
Incel is short for "involuntarily celibate." So it is impossible to be an incel by choice. You can choose to be celibate, or you can be someone who can't get laid.
<blockquote> *His actions almost led to the terrorists/robbers plan succeeding. John did nothing to stop the actual robbery, nor was he able to free the hostages. At best, he alerted the authorities and trimmed down the number of terrorists. However he also didn’t do anything that might have prevented the terrorists from destroying the building as they had planned. </blockquote>
Ok, so you're trying to do to Die Hard what the Big Bang Theory tried to do with Raiders of the Lost Ark. Well it works even less with this movie as it does with that one. So off the top of my head, here are the things John McClane did that help beat the terrorist.
*He did all the police immediately. The 911 operator didn't believe him and reluctantly sent one car. John had to shot at that car in order to convince them that something was happening. If not for the ineptitude of the police and predictability of the FBI, this could have ended Hans plot before it even started.
* He continued to take out terrorist throughout the night.
* He stole the triggers for the explosives, and yes Han was able to get them back, his desperation tipped off John that there were more explosives in the building.
*He was the only one to figure out that the helicopter of the roof was a trap and all the hostages and some of the terrorist were going to be killed in an explosion. He single handedly got everyone off the roof and narrowly escaped himself.
*He then finishes off the last of the terrorist, including Han and prevents them from escaping in the ambulance.
And if he did get to Argyle's phone and called the authorities, then what would have happened? They would not believed him, and send one squad car just to "check things out".
We know this because he DID call the authorities the first chance he got and that is what they did do.
He would have hidden camera set up in hospitals and spend months collecting every little infraction someone might commit. Maybe a nurse at the end of a 12 hour shift forgot to change her gloves once, or while rushing to an emergency patient a Doctor forgot to wash his hands. Or lab results weren't put into storage as quickly as they should have been since the hospital is understaffed and overcrowded. Then once he accumulated enough incidents he would edit them to make them look as bad as possible and present them in a way to make it seem like the hospitals are a mess. He would then hype his big expose on the horrific conditions at the hospitals and how they are the reason the virus is still spreading.
And he would claim to be doing it as his "journalistic responsibility" but it would just be his way to up his national profile, and it would end up hurting hospitals even worse.
People tend to be attracted to people who remind them of themselves, either physically or mentally. It's part of our natural vanity. That's why really good looking people tend to marry other really good looking people.
Homer by a very slight margin. Frank understandably had a lot of built up anger and frustration with his life, and having to work with someone like Homer brought out the worst in him. So Homer did try to do something nice and invite him to his home and introduce him to his family, but if I remember right didn't Homer make up some emergency to get him over there rather than just invite him? And that just made things even worse because now Frank was confronted with Homers nice home and family, and his achievement closet, which by way I would love to go thru that closet.
My one knock on Frank would be getting so upset about the nickname Grimy. Even with his tough life there had to be other guys in his life, and there's no way he's not getting that nickname. That's just a guy thing. Even if the word itself isn't great at least someone there cared enough to give you a nickname. And the madder you act about it, the more it makes it stick. And his line about it "I took the time to learn your name."
Just because something happened in the book and is believed to have happened in real life, doesn't mean they would keep it in the movie. For example:
Paris is killed, as well as Hector's baby. Hectors wife was enslaved.
Helen is returned to Sparta.
Agamemnon survives the war, but is killed by his wife shortly after returning to Greece.
Achilles was dead before the Trojan Horse.
Hector was scared to face Achilles and ran around the entire walls of Troy to avoid him.
So who's to say that maybe in this version Hector could have survived.
Donovan was singularly focused on the Grail. While it would be interesting meeting someone who spent 700 years in a cave, the Knight was ultimately irrelevant toward that goal. He would not pose any threat to physically stop someone from taking the Grail, as we saw with Indy. And the only thing he could do at this point to fulfill his oath would be to not tell you which one it is. Even if you threatened to kill him, he wouldn't tell, and just consider dying as the last part of his duty to protect the grail.
The books will end with a fat man keeling over dead and never finishing his project that he will forever be remembered for.
He married his on again, off again girlfriend after the 3rd season. She's also the mother of his daughters. So it's kind of unlikely that anyone was really serious about these relationships. None the less, pretending that any show like this is serious, who I think should have won.
Season 1: Heather.
Season 2: Destiny. She was enough of a partier to hang with him, but not too skanky or trashy, despite being a former stripper and future porn star. Daisy had way to many issues that he would ever want to deal with, and Amber wouldn't hang with his life style, and was too old.
Season 3: I loved Mindy and Taya. Both seemed almost normal and were smoking hot and weren't gross looking and trashy like most the other girls. And Ashley talked like she was mentally challenged which I'm sure would have driven him insane. But I think Jamie might have been the choice for him as far as actually having a relationship. She was down to party, but wasn't skanky, and he obviously liked her since her brought her on in the middle of the season.
Lacey streaking thru the house, and shaking in front of the other girls. Not sure how much anyone wanted to see this, but its uncensored.
Great question! Some possible theories.
1) She was too nervous to watch him fight.
2) Didn't want to say it to Rocky, but figured he would get pummeled and it would be over fast. When almost an hour went by and Rocky hadn't come back yet, she probably figured he was doing well and might actually go the distance.
3) They didn't have a ticket for her. Another example of Rocky just being another part of the Apollo show that they didn't even give him any tickets. Paulie had to pay for his, and Gazzie, probably had connections. No one noticed her watching from the tunnel toward the end because by that point it was an exciting fight and everyone was riveted by it. Then she was able to slip through the crowd, and Paulie helped her get into the ring.
On the plane after they realize they left Kevin, the flight attendant brings them a glass of water. Peter takes it and tries to hand it to Kate. She doesn't even acknowledge it, so Peter just shrugs and drinks it himself.
When the family is leaving Katie at the airport, Peter and her kids are all emotional and hugging her, except for Buzz who is off to the side combing his hair, with his back to his mother.
Marv has a collection of snow globes on the dashboard of their van. After they leave the Murphie's house he puts a new one up there. So aside from leaving the water running, he keeps a snow globe from every house they rob.
Harry suggest waiting to see who "blew away Snakes" in case the police bust them, so they can answer their questions. In other words, he was willing to be a rat. The exact opposite of most of Joe Pesci's characters.
She was smart enough to see that Buddy age indicates that he was conceived long before she knew her husband and she trusted her husband when he said he had no clue about him.
That being said, she probably would not have been quite so thrilled about it, and would definitely need some time to warm up to Buddy, though Buddy does have a way of winning people over, even the ones who are mad at him. But she would be giving some attitude to Buddy and her husband for a while, a long with some side comments here or there.
Remember, Michael was his father's 3rd son, and he ended up being the one who took over the family business. So that was probably at least part of the reason he wanted multiple sons.
If it was girl, he would still love her, but probably be at least a little disappointed. He still had a great relationship with Mary in part 3, and would probably push for his daughters to marry guys who would be strong allies in his business.
Would they have known the gender of the baby at the time of the abortion? I always wondered if Kay just said that because she knew it would burn him even more. He still would have been insanely upset at the abortion if it was a girl, but more for a boy.
And if it was like Fredo, well hopefully Anthony would be a good boss, and always have something for his brother to do.
You said you haven't watched them in 5 years. Doesn't sound like you were going to be giving them more money anyways. They make their money on streaming anyways.
