Haven't checked on him, but I guess now I have a reason to. Thank you.
His face in this movie has an uncanny resemblance of a mask from V for Vendetta for me. It does help his role for sure.
No argument there, friend. Watching them back-to-back on a movie night is a wonder. Reiteration of a fence-jumping gag, connecting these two movies, is so sweet of a detail.
Of Hot Fuzz, I loved the actor who played the supermarket's boss. His delivery of another chilling comment... Gosh, I can't see how it'd work without him for he kills it. Some people I showed it for the first time only got into it because of him setting the tone and promising some big reveal.
And the starting sequence, as well, is a classic. I've seen people having it in their 101 on filmmaking, and it's not wrong.
What this actually shows is that Russia doesn't even feel the need to pull out its modern equipment, they're clearing out their old inventory the exact same way NATO is.
Why? Do they enjoy dragging this conflict for more than a year? Is there some reason to why they don't use some sci-fi orbital blaster?
If you lived there, Ukraine or Russia, doesn't matter, and have served, you'd knew how deeply you are wrong. Bet you didn't, and I did. Post-soviet army culture is what makes me suspect they don't have anything breathtaking you think they have in worthy quantities.
Opposing western propaganda is one thing. Not taking a moment to understand you are high on russian one is another. Just take a glance at this quote of yours and say it's not copium.
I could take sterilized roaches. Their power in that their population grows like hell. But 1000 you can kill off and that's settled? Okay, deal. Guess, the first hunt would take a half of them for good.
A person? You obviously can't kill them in most jurisdictions unless you are a LEO. But I'd look forward to reach out and cooperate with them in some way. Idk them and maybe they have cool things to talk about or learn from them. Imagine them blasting an ukulele and being open to teach you. Or just being a good friend material.
I'd probably take both and do bonding with a cellar person over killing bugs.
Kinda shows who is the real boss there.
Is it chatgpt or a stroke?
Snatch is outstanding. The scene with a replica gun vs deagle, the robbery by noob thugs... I laugh even at my memories of them.
But I'll take Shawn of the Dead. Cool direction and awesome cast making a great apocalyptic comedy movie. It's humor may be too dry for some, but if you are into this kind of jokes (is it brittish humor?), it'd blow you away. Watching it with my buddy back then made some of it's gags into our convos.
Bot cut too much.
In Chile, the U.S. government tried to pacify the country village by village using the Strategic Hamlet Program, basically creating villages where there was no or little socialist influence.
They tried more extreme experiments where they completely isolated villages or groups of villages, allowing absolutely nobody to enter or exit for periods of up to four years.
In some of the villages, people simply starved to death.
In other, more self sufficient villages, the people managed to scrape by.
It was noted that in many of the villages where this technique was tried, messianic or millenarian movements sprang up.
In 16 separate incidences, villages were able to independently invent "flesh interfaces" and "non-electrical portals", and it was surmised that these villages were being collectively dosed with LSD for long periods of time, and their intellectual mutations allowed for these 'advances'.
The flesh interfaces were eventually destroyed by Pinochet's troops at a terrible cost in lives.
One ukrainian military psychologist and youtuber I've watched, Філософ Рептилоїд, frequently said how him bringing a laptop with games to a barrack set up a better overall atmosphere in a combat unit. Gaming is intense and occupying enough activity to distract one from fatigue of the battlefield for a couple of hours. Guess, even wargames work.
