Gee golly...who does this remind you of?
Clinton?
Or is it you constantly changing your claim and then denying you ever made it? Must be all that education.

edit nevermind
I saw your post. American Nationalism and patriotism is why you're not speaking Russian or German right now. But go ahead. Please continue to attack him for recognizing the threat.

Jackie Brown is his under appreciated masterpiece.
I can only hope this forces him to not rely on his old tricks as his last couple of movies have been for the birds.
Yea, Jackie Brown has definitely grown on me with time. The guy hasn't made a bad movie. I just didn't get the Hateful 8. It didn't go anywhere.

Sounds like you have some research to do.
He's both a lawyer and a doctor.
And you're a physicist and have degrees in architecture and chemistry. 
That's why you're so qualified to say 9/11 was an inside job.
You're also apparently a lawyer and former FBI investigator.
I prefer just to call you unhinged and a conspiracy nut that lacks basic reading comprehension.

Fantastic start. Any efforts towards universal care should require a federal database for all patient records. No more doctor shopping to get the meds you want.
We need to stop considering addiction a disease and allowing the medical industry to profit off the myriad of rehabilitation and treatments that only line their pockets. Cancer and AIDs are diseases. Enjoying the high you get from opioids isn't.

I read that the concept of Mandingo fighting is unconfirmed. But it certainly captured the brutality of slavery. I wasn't even alive when Sharon Tate was murdered. So this story will have as much relevance to me as a story about an ex-slave shooting up a bunch of slave owners.

Didn't know he was planning on retiring, although I guess I can see it with his style & everything. His circulating cast of characters has gotten older too, he' doesn't seem one for millenials.
I really did like his style, and Pulp is one of my favorite movies too. I saw it in the theater, and it was pretty full that night so we went up to the 3rd row. I remember just being blown away by it all, plus the fact the characters all were so big (due to sitting so close) Travolta & Jackson looked like movie stars I'd never seen before it was just a surreal experience.
I didn't like the Hateful 8 either, way too long & just incessant dialogue. Really should've cut out about an hour from the cabin scene. True Romance is great, he wrote it but didn't direct it. He sold the script to fundraise in order to make Pulp Fiction however I read where he said he did like the finished product. Natural Born Killers I didn't care for, although I should give that a 2nd viewing.
I'm not too into this Manson idea, I don't like the thought of glorifying that. Imagine 20 years from now someone creates a movie about Columbine or Pulse Nightclub.
I see your point on glorifying Manson, but didn't he do a similar thing with Django? I loved that movie, probably my 3rd favorite behind Reservoir Dogs.
#2758 Re: The Sunset Strip » Tarantino to write/direct Manson film » 461 weeks ago
Yea, he's said he's done after 10 films. I love Tarantino. Pulp Fiction may be my favorite movie. But I didn't care for the hateful eight. I'll definitely see this one, but I hope he's not slipping in his final act.
I read he gave up on the prequel because Travolta and Madsen are way too old to reprise their roles as the Vega brothers.

Fine by me, let's just not forget that one of the offenders is the sitting president, shall we?
Loretta Lynch, Comey, HRC, Bill Clinton, Podesta should all be brought in for collusion and obstruction of justice.
Why? What did Comey do that meets that definition? What did Bill Clinton do? He's a private citizen with no executive authority. What did Podesta do?
Maybe you have something with Lynch. But I think it's a stretch to claim Obstruction solely off her request to Comey to call it a "matter". The claim she told someone she'd keep him on a leash is unproven. And as AG she has prosecutorial discretion.
And unless you have evidence Hillary ordered her servers wiped and evidence destroyed, how does she get an obstruction charge?

So you don't believe Trump or anyone on his campaign or cabinet worked with Russia intelligence to steal the election?
You're doing your sleight of hand wordplay bullshit again. This is completely dishonest and contradictory of your own argument/accusations. Are we blaming the Republican Party or Trump, because you keep switching back and forth and then combining them when it benefits you.
You tell me. You're the one claiming any US citizen collaborated with Putin to throw the election. Are Trump, Sessions, Flynn and whomever I've overlooked not part of the GOP? Is Trump not the leader of the GOP as every sitting President has been of their party? I recall Nunez being tossed in there at some point.
You keep claiming Republican concessions ruined Obamacare. But you can't name the concessions or Republicans who "came up with Obamacare." I'm trying to figure out what you're trying to argue, but you keep shifting to not appear wrong.
I don't believe any evidence has been put forth to show a single Republican worked with Putin/Russia to throw the election. I know you disagree, but that disagreement isn't based on evidence you have that I lack.
I know not a single Republican worked on the Obamacare bill, but you keep calling me a liar. When I blame Democrats for whatever bullshit bill the GOP rushes through without a single Democrat contributing an idea (much less an idea that ruined the bill) or vote, you can call me a hypocrite or liar.
