Sorry you lost.
I don't think he disliked most of the people on the show. And he was probably genuinely happy for them when they won, especially the putting game. But there were things they could do that would annoy him really fast, and even more so when he got older.
1) Touching him without permission. It was made clear to all contestants not to touch Bob, unless he initiated it. For the guys, just normal handshake, not to rough. And the ladies it was a kiss on the cheek, maybe a little hug from the younger ones. Don't give him a big bear hug, or pick him up, or jump on him when you win.
2) Don't disrupt the flow of the show. Over celebrating having the winning bid and not coming directly up to him, or not knowing where to go were pet peeves of his. Or taking too long to make a choice.
3) Not knowing the rules of the games. Yeah, this might have partially been him being a cranky old man, and thinking everyone should just know all the rules to all the games. Not like they changed much over the years. But even still he would carefully explain them to every contestant, and if you still screwed it up then you won his disgust.
You can smell his fart.
I remember this, and was surprised she did it because it came out right after Meet the Fockers which was a big hit. Kind of surprising that she was so worried about her career at that point because she worked pretty steady during the four years inbetween the movies, including being the lead for a whole season of a show. And after Fockers she was on West Wing for a whole season. Since then, she's worked a lot, but nothing that've heard of.
Yes, I did point out several key points from the plot to support my point that the FBI was worthless in this movie. They might have been right at first about paying the ransom, but when Mullin comes back from the botched ransom drop and says the guy making the pick-up had no clue where his son was supposed to be, they should have realized that these kidnapers were not going to give his kid back alive. But instead, they insisted he continue like before. And even when he tried to do something different, they undermine him by sending his wife. And just to further complicate the matter, they tell her about his past business misdeeds.
This is why there needs to be term limits for Congress.
It might not even have been food. Tony could have just caught a 24-hour stomach flu.
This series was much better than the movies ESPN put out earlier this year. Much more from the Gladiator perspective as well as the producers.
It's a conspiracy.
The officials of Gotham were worried that if there weren't any super villains for Batman to chase, then he would start looking for crime elsewhere. And Batman might discover that not all criminal masterminds wear ridiculous outfits. Some wear a suit and tie and are elected officials who have hands in the cookie jar. So, they find ways for super villains to be released early so that Batman always has something to do.
No.
But you can judge ratings, especially after a major advertising campaign.
From a symbolic standpoint, it was to show his men that he was right there with them.
From a military and common-sense standpoint: An officer on horseback would be a very inviting and easy target to an enemy. Especially when you're attacking a fortified position. The movie Gettysburg discusses this more.
Difficult to say. She should be getting some kind of pension from her union, but how much would depend on how much she paid into it. Residuals would depend on how much she got paid for each project, and how much they get replayed. Besides The Shinning, what else has she done that people are still watch?
Residuals have changed a lot in last 20 years. Actors and their agents have gotten smarter about getting better long-term residual deals, thus ensuring more long-term financial stability for actors, even if their careers dry up. For example, the cast of Friends signed a great deal, and still make $20 million a year for a show that ended almost 20 years ago. Conversely, Seinfeld which ended only 5 years before does not pay very much to the main cast. Larry David and Jerry Seinfeld have each cleared over a billion dollars as the show creators.
Going back even further, according to George Takei, the original cast of Star Trek only got paid residuals for the first 10 replays of the show. That was done after two years.
At that point in history when someone would say Ohio they would probably be referring to the Ohio River Valley, which encompassed most of present-day Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky, Tennesse, West Virginia, and the western parts of North Carolina, Virginia, and Pennsylvania. Most likely he wasn't asking for any direct power or influence in governing. Most likely his plan was to acquire a huge piece of fertile land, and he would use that to rebuild a massive fortune. Then being the richest, and largest landowner in the area would immediately give him influence over the leadership of the area, and he would grow his power for himself and his heirs.
in 2007 he says he was his heaviest at 392 lbs. He hired a health coach, cut out sugar and alcohol from his diet, and by 2010 he had lost 100 lbs. Page Six claims he's lost 200 lbs, but I don't think he's ever stated that.
This sounds like healthy weight loss. If he was ill, it would have killed him by now.
Either he goes to another school, or he drops out. There's no way he could go back to the same school. It's bad enough that everyone sees him as a joke, but he finally became aware of it, after the freshmen got revenge on him, and everyone just watched it happen.
Spotify wishes they had done a 3rd rate podcast. At least then they would have had some content to sell advertising for to recoup some of their money. Instead, all they got was 12 episodes over 3 years, and they had to add at least a dozen producers and extra staff at an additional cost.
Basically, they took the money, and did as little work as they possibly could, then cried about it when they were called out for it. It's no wonder Bill Simmons called them "grifters".
When they discovered that the Raptors had escaped, it was already too late. Like Muldoon said, they were already being hunted. They never would have made it back to the bunker. Their only hope was the Muldoon kill the raptors before they got them, and Stadler ran ahead to turn the power back on so they could call the mainland for help.
1) He was almost 16 and it was the early 80's. Parents let their kids roam around on their own more.
2) There are many towns that have rich areas and poor areas, and kids end up at the same high school. It was a public high school.
3) Yes he does, and that is a contributor (but not lone cause) of many of his problems. Miyagi helps learn how to control it.
4) Considering they were about to seriously injure possibly even kill Daniel, I think we can forgive it.
5) This was the 80's and Gen X. Helicopter parents wouldn't be around for another 10-12 years.
6) Sure.
7) Yeah. Cobra Kai is guilty of this as well, but they at least do it with a wink at the audience.
8) At times yes. Not entirely his fault that he was bullied so badly, but he does make several bad choices. Continuing the fight with Johnny at the beach including a sucker punch, retaliating at soccer tryouts, and messing with Johnny in the bathroom during the Halloween party.
9) That's pretty clear in the movie. The scene at Daniels birthday shows how much their friendship really means to him. Especially after we learn about the tragedy of his life. Helping Daniel win and grow as a person helped fill a great hole that was always in his life.
What if other animals involved in other places of the world? Like maybe this was the "Region" of the Apes. And they also had the Region of the Dogs, or Elephants, or Polar Bears.
Quaid went kamikaze because his last missile wouldn't fire. Had he been able to fire it, it may have been successful. So yes, one missile in the proper spot at the proper time could take down an entire destroyer.
