  1. Having watched it a few times I can that it only gets worse. It doesn't add anything but distraction to what should be a harrowing scene.
  2. I think it would be better if it was a real camera shake, but this stinks of being an after effect done in post production.
  3. It appears to be. https://www.wsj.com/articles/uvalde-residents-voice-frustration-over-shooting-response-11653588161 Edit: Behind a paywall, this isn't https://www.thedailybeast.com/uvalde-mom-says-she-was-handcuffed-while-urging-police-to-enter-robb-elementary-during-school-shooting
  4. https://www.kens5.com/article/news/special-reports/uvalde-school-shooting/its-time-to-die-fourth-grade-survivor-uvalde-shooting-recalls-what-gunman-told-student/273-51cc4e26-7a0a-49c0-ba7a-48cdd47fa235
  5. It sounds like the Uvdale police were the best accomplices the shooter could have asked for. https://www.cnn.com/2022/05/27/us/robb-shooting-survivor-miah-cerrillo/index.html Nothing says heroism like letting a child lie in the blood of her murdered classmates for an hour because you're too busy tasering parents.
  6. It's good. Not great like Evangelion or JoJo, but a good watch nonetheless.
  7. Vampire in the Garden I suppose technically it's a series, but at 5 episodes clocking in at 20 minutes each it feels more like a film that got cut up. It's set in a post-apocalyptic world where vampires and humans are at war. The humans live under a military dictatorship that is NO FUN ALLOWED while the vampires either do hedonistic balls and such that is evocative of fantasy nobility or live in squalor. No in-between is apparent. The main characters are two princesses (or similar) who hate their existence and dream of a utopia where humans and vampires can live together in peace. So of course they go on a road trip and are hunted by a katana wielding uncle and his special ops team and a retainer who carries around a dog. Overall I liked it for what it was.
  8. I hope Ted Cruz ****s off into the sun. For the most part I don't see any fences at schools here, but admittedly I don't look very hard. If I had kids I think I'd prefer that to Texas schools, which additionally are not very good in other ways, though it does sound dystopian and scary. But I can't afford rent in the Bay Area so that's moot.
  9. Maybe they'll means test the guns by verifying that you aren't a card carrying member of the communist party a CRT propagandist? The worst suggestion I've seen comes from good ol' Ted Cruz, who thinks that schools should have one entrance with an armed guard. Without even touching on the effectiveness of such a thing or the costs in converting existing buildings into single entrances, what does that dumb mother****er think is going to happen if there is a fire?
  10. Nope. In the video you can see them holding a guy down and a taser in a cop's hand. Here's the source where they admit they got their own kids out during the shooting, or at least tried to. I've also heard that a cop directly caused the death of a child by asking them to yell if they need help, which allowed the shooter to find a kid and shoot them. I believe that the cops are a bunch of chicken****s who sacrificed 20 people because they missed a few shots and got scared. I won't claim to know what policies there are, but they don't mean anything if they're going to be dropped the second resistance is encountered.
  11. And with all that money, the cops rescued their own children before barricading the shooter inside the school and tasering parents outside. Truly exemplars of heroism.
  12. Sounds like someone isn't pulling hard enough on their bootstraps. GRAVITY IS A CHOICE. One of the things that are constant among personal fitness types is the mantra "Abs are made in the kitchen". I guess you could excercise all the weight away while eating cheeseburgers for every meal in the same way you could lose weight by eating nothing but ice cream, but such hypothetical situations are full of caveats that make them useless for most people. For most, weight loss is going to be primarily a result of diet, probably cutting down on sugars and calorie rich foods while eating more vegetables and lean proteins. Exercise is good and you should do it for a multitude of reasons, but a 30 min daily cardio and regular weight training aren't going to zap your fat away by themselves. I'm not sure why this is so controversial, but I guess it shouldn't surprise me at this point.
  13. Apocalypse Now Redux. It's a brutal film filled with horror and depravity. Yet, I loved all 3+ hours of it. Beautiful and disturbing in equal measure, sometimes at the same time. I'm not sure what the new cut added but I it feels very complete, not quite busting at the seams but close.
  14. Six String Samurai. It was a fun campy romp. The music really did make the movie in this case. Eraserhead. What the Hell? but good.
  15. The real question is
  16. Gorth man, you really need to be careful how you talk. Someone could get really hurt by your words. Cancerous growths on the human gene pool have feelings too, and it is very hurtful to compare them to Scott Morrison.
  17. So I watched the whole video and now I have to learn to unwatch stuff. Leaving behind plot holes and half-baked supervillians and tone changes (at least half the show), the show just looks ****ing boring. Like somehow the CW made a trek-like drama series, but middle aged folks instead of thirty year old teenagers and no cop procedurals. 10 hours of cgi Reaper ripoffs would be more interesting than this stuff, which neither allows actors to act or really delivers anything beyond emotion bombs lobbed at the audience with poor setup. This is worse than I thought it was. I want to slam a road roller into the show.
  18. I got 4 and a half minutes in and had to quit when they were talking about pollution shields and ocean purifying microbes and space fascists led by Data's great great grandpa. This is somehow dumber than my non-existent expectations for the show. Let's see how the rest of the video goes.
