What’s the point of police if they don’t protect? What’s the point of police if they prevent others from protecting?
Love that so many on here are verbally jerking off to this…comparing it to die hard…talking about how the guy was getting a haircut….
It’s entertainment to these sick fucks.
I only learned of this a few days ago but technically speaking the police aren't obligated to protect. There are several court cases that support this point.

Amanda Peet was hot here and makes me wonder why she didn't become a bigger star.
Yeah... should've happened. I first saw her back then on an episode of Law and Order.
There's a lot of low-mid level actresses from that period that deserved better careers. It had to be frustrating for many of them. Looks like your career is entering the stratosphere...here comes a different batch of actresses moving up while you run in place or fade into obscurity.
Excluding those who sleep their way to the top, I've never understood exactly how Hollywood picks and chooses who moved up and down the totem pole.
I don't remember her name as it's been awhile since watching it, there's an actress on a late 80s episode of Matlock that was smoking hot. There's probably an alternate universe where she got Julia Roberts career instead of being a name I can't remember.
I've never really gotten how Hollywood chooses either. It's easier to explain how they move actresses down: age, box office success and attitude. Let's face it if you have a rep for being difficult and you're starring in a few bombs, it's far easier to blacklist you.
To this day, I'm not sure what the appeal of Julia Roberts is. I mean she's not that good looking and her acting isn't that great.

Just got to the formation of DX on the Monday night wars vlog on youtube. That was a really monumental show and the birth of the attitude era. Totally changed wrestling. Totally forgot how they brought up Hall and Nash and insinuated they were secrely aligned to take over wrestling, and not so subtly trashed Hogan.
I was listening to a Scott Hall interview he did a few years ago. Apparently, they came really close to being fired, like around the time DX started or just afterwards. Basically Hall and Nash were really pissed and went to find Bischoff I think (had something to do with Hogan I think/or money issues). Anyway they go to his office and find it and trash it a little, Nash was really close to starting a fight there that would have most likely gotten them both fired and free to join DX.
Hall and Nash joining DX and Bret Hart being the "Greater Power" are two of my favorite what if storylines in wrestling.

And I wouldn't be surprised from the quality that none of it was done in an actual studio.
I listened to Old Skool for the first time in months and the cut and paste aspect of it was obvious, even to my untrained ear. But it is what it is. If this is the only way to get new music from these guys, then so be it.

Ray Liotta doubleheader:
Unforgettable. This one is ok but too long for my tastes. Also I was hoping for more of the science aspect; instead they focused on the killer/crime angle. I rarely say this but this one could use a modern remake, and focus more on the memory aspect of the film. I thought Fiorentino's role was sort of basic (not her fault, they didn't give her as much to do).
Identity. Saw this one years ago. It's probably a film that I would only watch once. The ending doesn't make that much sense to me. Amanda Peet was hot here and makes me wonder why she didn't become a bigger star.

Is anyone arguing that Trans people don't have rights here? Most of us here are just pointing out that they aren't born with the "equipment" of the gender they choose to be.
That phone call stuff is insane. You have multiple calls from inside the school from kids and still nothing is done...and crickets. Shameful.

Around 2000 is probably when he did his best work. Cop Land, Hannibal, Narc. Classic movies with parts that suited him. Too unlikable I guess to be a big leading star, but he could act.
This decade has and will see a lot of great names kick the bucket. Clint is not seeing past 2030 I can't imagine, De Niro and Pacino will be approaching 90. Pesci, Nicholson, Keitel. And directors, Scorsese, Coppola, De Palma, Lucas, Spielberg. All of them very old.
Hannibal is a decent popcorn thriller. The problem is that is has the weight of following Silence of the Lambs and it was never going to top that at all. But it is a fun globe trotting adventure/thriller movie.
I hate to be macabre but you gotta add Gene Hackman to the list, he's like 90. Luckily, he retired and lives in New Mexico, became an artist/novelist and seems happy there.

I'm getting too old for this mystery crap. They are no longer the world's biggest band (or even close to it). It's just music. I realize that Slash's camp is probably not to be blame for this.
#429 Re: The Garden » Current Events Thread » 232 weeks ago
i'm speechless at this latest round of revalations. They are police officers who are fucking supposed to protect and serve the population. That police chief or whomever does the training needs to be fired.
Oh, I really hate to mention this, but man I remember Columbine in 1999 and that was a huge deal. But these shootings have turned into common place and that rubs me the wrong way. It's like ho hum, another month, another public shooter who killed people.

This one fucking hurts. He will probably be best known for the Mob/Tough guy roles. I can't explain why this one bums me out so much. I'm gonna watch Something Wild in his honor today.
Like Lofton says, it's another one of those guys you've watched growing up pass away.
RIP, Ray. You brought a lot of joy to people.
