The agencies of the government are tools of the government, which is highly selective in what it attacks, not based on any sense of true justice, but on the whims of those in control. See: TheFBI's CoIntelPro or CIA's CHAOS.

Thanks for sharing that. A lot of women are really feeling this one. I wonder what's different about it? And I'm glad your husband doesn't suck as a husband. I like him plenty, but if he mistreated you, I wouldn't stay friends with him.

I rewatched American Psycho (2000) and it's amazing how insightful and prescient it is into the nature of the Cornell 7 and the men who do those kinds of things.

I just watched Barbershop (2002) for the first time. It's an absolute masterpiece of character development. It's a huge ensemble with multiple plot lines, but never ONCE did it feel muddled or confusing. I'll be studying this!

#ControversialOpion I know everyone likes what they like and that's a good thing. Different genres for different tastes. But Cool World (1992) is MUCH better than Who Framed Roger Rabbit (1988). CW is a near-perfect crime neo-noir.

If we're going to say other dimensions exist, we have to ask why we're not experiencing it more directly. What things we are hanging onto in this that prevent us from fully embracing the supernatural? The Buddha might call these attachments. www.youtube.com/watch?v=L2oN...

The Rundown (2003) is one of the best action comedies ever made. Why it hasn't had a sequel is a mystery. Get as much of the original team together as possible and get it done! Here's a simple plot I came up with:

When we talk about the supernatural, it's easy to get confused by modern mythology. When we try and find those superpowers in ourselves, we often misunderstand them. I present to you a practical guide to astral projection, and some theory behind it: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ta-Z...

Yep. The stuff he can do as a martial arts master? Truly an artist. That bag he's punching and kicking has to weigh well over 100lbs. I couldn't move it on my own... yet, with each punch and kick, even the jumping ones, it moves!
