Good luck. There are a number of ways to get hurt over there and I'm not even talking about the murderous Russians. Get in a car and head for Poland Sean (Godspeed).
He did it because he wants an image of Ukrainians mistreating native Russians (Ukraine is a multi-ethnic society) who reside in Ukraine, as a pretext for war. It has nothing to do with Democrats and won't be believed in Europe.

You obviously don't know the Island.
I think the thread was an attempt at humor but the cast was fine. It probably would not have been cast this way 40 years later. My guess would be Brody: he would have been black. Actually Martha's V. has had a black community for generations. There was a lot of farming done there before it became a tourist hotspot post-WW2.
At some point all dictators age and are overthrown. When that happens to Putin I would expect there would be show-trials for his thieving existence for the last generation. He will eventually be executed or fall out a window or something.
He is a for-life dictator of no particular talent other than being an ex-spy who believes the Russia of post-WW2 should be what 21st century Russia aspires to.
Using its military to bully surrounding countries and basically make much of Europe desire NATO membership out of intimidation. From a country that is only relevant do to the energy sector not because they have a strong GNP.
What's overlooked about Putin is his great wealth. He's one of the richest men in the world. Only people who made billions in Silicone Valley or inherited oil wealth have his kind of money. Putin was a third-rate ex-spy.
So how did he get it? And why aren't the Russian people angry about him stealing vast holdings of liquid assets and properties. He's spent the last generation robbing the country blind. At some point he will become too old to carry this off anymore and he'll be popped in some coup.Until then he'll continue exploiting Russia's natural resources and ripping off the people of his country.
I acknowledge most of the pluses of this film. But for me it didn't achieve that type of greatness.
For one thing some of the events in the ending were kind of nuts (throwing a compressed air tank in the shark's mouth?)
Quint had to die but couldn't it have been another way? Like without the shark practically crawling up the deck of his boat.
Real name? Why on earth do you take name of a Jewish stepfather and convert. Not the way to go.
Whichever path he choose he would be blamed. I think he played it about right. He didn't force the protesters out but let them become a nuisance. Then move. Looked weak but when the leaders were led away in cuffs it stopped the truckers without appearing violent.
This show had for the most part a Jewish cast produced by Jews. They were sensitive to that.
He worked almost nonstop the last 12 years of his life. Some stuff was quite notable but too much was not and must have been done just for the money. "Silver spoons?"
I think a star wouldn't devote a year of his life to this project. I'm not saying Mitchum wasn't a big name but he was past his prime. He worked hard on the series no question and the produders claim they wanted him as soon as they met him.
Here's Bob in the final scene:

He's very good. Those were 3 standout movies and he was always an interesting face...
If she criticized Isl, career would likely be greatly diminished if not over. We saw last week what happened to w.Goldberg. She was punished immediately. Jolie is no dope and she measures comments, to the causes she sees as useful.
He's not talking about the plot lines. Yes there are some similarities I'll give you that but the two characters have different concerns in their criminal activities.
Goldberg is income oriented more than she cares about this show. She won't give it up even if disappointed in her treatment by ABC. She financially supports extended family and this low-brow gig is a piece of cake for her to do. So...she won't leave.
When I think of Ricky it's dressed in a letterman's sweater with an ice cream soda in front of him at a table with Wally circa 1960.
Whoopie speaks in kind of smug uninformed answers and I'm sure she didn't mean anything hurtful by this. I don't think she needs to be suspended but the front office knows who controls the media and for that reason wants to be seen as punishing her as a warning.
I don't know if the question of 'Catholicism is a race' is serious but Catholics are for the most part N.European whites like French, German, Italian, Polish,Irish, et al.
[b]Goldberg[/b] shows you can't misspeak about Jews. She's suspended. If she were to insist she was correct she would be gone. I think she will be: in some other distinction without a difference.
Whoopie likes money even though she seems to have disdain for the job. ABC will get pressure to dump her even though they don't want to be seen as hostile.
[b][i]JFK [/b][/i] never gets mentioned. It's both good and obviously underrated.
