I've installed a very good audio system in my car for $200, there's no way an extra $500 or so on top of the $20k was breaking the bank for consumers or the company. Really weird concession to make.
First two thirds did feel like your basic above average big budget horror movie, but then my god the emotional punch of the last third was all time. Really well executed last third set up by the first two thirds.
Weren't other also billion dollar endowment colleges caving? Like Columbia University. I would think that would make Harvard an outlier here, unless we consider Harvard to have fuck you endowment money vs the others.
What about throwing money at teacher salary/education/recruitment?
They literally know how this always ends - with a generation of kids with a lot of justified hatred and nothing to lose - yet they continue to fuel the fire. Crazy, nothing like ensuring the cycle of violence continues forever.
And it's this kind of cartoonish language that speaks to their base
Exactly haha, I get enough real life traumatic validation if I turn on the news for a second or look out my window
That's my issue with the movie. People who don't believe in climate change aren't going to have their mind changed by a club, but need to be tricked with something subtle. Nothing entrenches someone deeper into their views then calling someone an idiot or telling them they're wrong. The movie represents everything that's wrong with how progressives and the "liberal elite" like McKay try and convince people to come to their side. If anything, this movie probably just furthered the divide. Having Leo in it probably didn't help, conservatives love to point out the hypocrisy of his private jet and yacht.
I say this as someone who worked on the Bernie Sanders campaign and have talked to him about how to change non-progressives minds, although I'm not sure he's made much progress either. Maybe a little more than McKay.
So who is this movie for, if not to sway climate deniers? If it was really intended to let a liberal audience grandstand and circlejerk about how they're so much smarter then everyone else (which I'm not denying), then I guess it did a pretty good job of that.
Edit: full disclosure as a movie also didn't enjoy it, jokes were kinda too on the nose. Also just felt and looked like a Netflix movie, kinda plastic. Idiocracy was way funnier.
Love this show so much, wish I'd found another like it. Great main character.
They have invested a lot, but these are nightmare conditions. Strongest wind storms in a decade, and hasn't rained in months. Nothing can be bought that can battle 100 mile an hour winds spreading fire faster than a car on a highway.
I hindsight they could've maybe done more controlled fires to lessen fire fuel, but that's an issue of planning and politics.
Ellison and his team have told Wall Street that they plan to build a “new Paramount” that will be a hybrid entertainment-technology company that leans into AI-infused efficiencies and works with companies like Oracle to boost the profitability of its direct-to-consumer business that includes Paramount+.
So many words to say nothing of value
Same exact thought! They say they may be religious, but I need to know more!! Guess that lore may be lost with the end of this tribe.
Seems to me they're using the sanctity of indigenous people as a way to protect the rain forest. Wish it being a very important natural part of our planet was enough to protect it, no appeal to human to human empathy needed.
What a coward, no surprises there
“What’s a lunch break? Lunch is for wimps,” she shot back. “I have food brought in and I work and eat at the same time. There’s no time … Sometimes I will get a steak.”
Where do they find these weirdos??? What's crazy is a steak brought to you for lunch.
Think you could be right
Looks like the bottom one is the top one with the outer layer of posters ripped off, interesting
Looks like a caricature of Jack Nicholson
Didn't pre-stroke Fetterman win in PA? Often he was compared to Bernie, although maybe the media got that one wrong considering what stances Fetterman leans on these days.
