  1. No, haven't seen the Equalizer. My time for watching movies is extremely limited nowadays, so I generally only watch sci-fi and fantasy movies (including superhero stuff) as they are my favourite kind. My 20s was the heyday of my movie watching. Lots of free time, a video store with 99 cent dvd rentals, ahh that was the life.
  2. Oh my hat that is so weird, I watched The Equalizer a few months ago and I can say it is one of the best movies I have ever seen. It draws you in and when that Russian clean-up person arrives you are captivated ....very good movie and I couldn't remember its name but now I do Have you seen Man on Fire and Fallen ...both very good Denzil movies Man on Fire was great. I think my favourite Denzel movie is Virtuosity though. Russel Crowe being manic and charismatic instead of dour. Fantastic.
  3. I'll match you
  4. http://www.express.co.uk/news/uk/694050/Britain-invest-UK-Brexit-economy-investment-vote So looks like now that the shock is over people are starting to realize Brexit isn't the end of the world.
  5. I did a homebrew rootbeer once. It wasn't bad. The flavour wasn't as good as I hoped, but the brewing created a tiny bit of alcohol that numbed my tongue slightly when I drank it. Now I'm a fan of Caribou and Boylans root beer because they taste better than mine and give me that same numbness.
  6. He already said why he wanted trump to win, because Trump said he wanted better relations with Russia, and a good relationship with the US is a win for Russia.
  7. I just wish that Excalibur remake Warren Ellis wrote saw the light of day. Excalibur is still my favourite Arthur movie, followed by Merlin.
  8. His comments on Japan are odd. Japan can't have a proper military due to the constitution imposed by the US, and as a result the US is obligated to defend Japan. Japan is the US' responsibility until Japan ammends their constitution and builds a proper military. Which I hear is likely due to China. South Korea on the other hand needs to up their game. Though I remember reading somewhere that they have trouble recruiting due to the belief the US will handle their defense.
  9. OK, I haven't been excited about a DC movie since Dark Knight, but WW looks fantastic. JL I'm a little more reserved on. Zack Snyder has shown so far that he just doesn't get the DC characters. I like that they gave Aquaman the dye job, so he has semi-blonde hair, kinda wish they had done the same with Barry. I don't hate Ezra Miller as much as I thought I would so thats good though. I don't know what I think of Cyborg. He just looks odd. The Flash costume looks ass too.
  10. The New Defenders were formed by The Beast. That one formed after Dr. Strange, Hulk, Namor and Silver Surfer have to stop being The Defenders or else cause the destruction of the world. The Last Defenders were formed by Nighthawk (initially with Tony Stark as part of the 50 State Initiative, later without Stark or government approval). The Fearless Defenders were formed by Valkyrie (but it was really more of a spin-off of the FEAR ITSELF: THE FEARLESS mini, than a continuation of previous Defenders stuff). So there is precedence for non-Strange formed teams. I guess they could use Daredevil as a Nighthawk replacement. I can't see them ever having Nighthawk in the MCU as he is literally just Marvel's Batman. Though it would be interesting to see them do a Squadron Supreme movie and have it outperform the Justice League one.
  11. There has been a lot of different Defenders teams, but the one constant was Dr Strange was the one assembling them. They can put whoever they want on the team as long as Dr Strange is involved in their creation. 2 minute cameo is all he needs.
  12. The Young Turks are the more extreme moron Youtube version of MSNBC, Alex Jones is a crazy conspiracy theorist that runs kind of a Youtube Libertarian Fox News and somehow has way better production values than TYT. Basically TYT is everything thats wrong with the leftist media, and Alex Jones is everything thats wrong with right-wing media.
  13. Just started watching, but apparently even devoted #NeverTrump people thought it was one of the best speeches in recent republican history.
  14. TRIGGERED. The Romanovs were invited to take residence in one of the historical palaces in St. Petersberg or Crimea and start taking a ceremonial role in the government again. Only a matter of time before Russia becomes a constitutional monarchy and becomes the Russian Imperial Federation.
  15. I just hope Dr. Strange has a cameo in the Defenders. He is the one who traditionally assembles the Defenders even if he doesn't stay on the team for long.
  16. I have to be honest that story sounds difficult to believe....how can murder be an accident ? And we have 50 murders a day in SA so its not a big deal to report on this type of event What probably really happened with them is there neighbors were murdered ....and that act alone made them decide to immigrate. I dont have issues with white people immigrating because of the high crime or low education levels but the reality is white people implemented Apartheid for 50 years and we all lived happily through that not but now as a country we have to deal with the social consequences of that 50 years and high crime is one consequence....crime and murder is much higher within the black community So I feel white people should at least try and fix things They were rural. My understanding is white farmers being murdered for their land is not as uncommon as it should be down there.
  17. We have a family of white South Africans living in our co-op. They left SA after one of their neighbours was murdered in their home by a group of blacks and the police labeled it an accident.
  18. In the book they were on the road pretty much 100% of the time after Jesse meets Cas so it never showed Tulip living with anyone.
  19. I wonder where they got that idea. May be from the first African American president? Well thats exactly what it seemed you were suggesting from the post above but no matter, it was just a misunderstanding That post inferred Obama gave them the idea Police were trying to kill blacks.
  20. Chappie. I actually really liked it. Chappie was a fantastic character. I wasn't disappointed at all.
  21. It used to be that the left wanted to regulate the economy and the right wanted to regulate your morals, but now its the left wants to regulate the economy and your morals, and the right has no idea what it wants.
  22. Playing devils advocate. I think that the BLM movement would say that their entire goal was to push these particular incidents into the picture because of how badly they've been getting marginalized by the system, and that despite our attempts otherwise, policing hasn't changed much in terms of culture since the Rodney King beating in the nineties. I think that one of the things that has been stated as being a possible solution in the long run (and to address several issues about oversight) would be to nationalize the police forces. Because as it stands right now, each individual city having it's own police force that has it's own budget and reports to itself means that it's incredibly easy for abuses to be swept under the rug. (Did hear a BLM movement member wonder why over 50% of LA's city budget runs right into the LAPD) Well, almost 60% of the LA population is black or latino, so they would need a big police force /racism
  23. I don't blame all BLM for it, though they are responsible for creating an environment where these incidences are more likely. But responsibility is solely in the hands if the asshats who carried it out.
