So long as audiences keep going to remakes the situation will stay the same. When something original comes a long, "ala" The Green Book, it has to be trashed. Sad really. I liked the Cohen brother's film The Ballad of Buster Skruggs. It is so different that it was awesome. It poked holes in the genre in ways Seth Mcfarlen's western couldn't touch.

The problem with movies this last decade or so
by LoveUniHateExams inactually, i think i've discovered two issues.. the first is that there are too many soft reboots, remakes and re-imaginings.
don't get me wrong, hollywood has always done remakes and some remakes work very well.
the fly (1986) and the thing (1982) are actually remakes/re-imaginings of the original 50s films.

Smuggling
by lastmanstanding inthe international assemblies are on... and the missionaries are coming home... and leaving richer.. i have, in all seriousness, been told by a co that the missionaries going home have large sums of money hidden in their luggage as they go back to their assignments.
.
he related how one couple was almost caught with the undeclared cash as they passed through customs.. this has been going on for quite some time, the watchtower using missionaries are mules.. i bet with all the kingdumb hall sales the pace has picked up..

The new MIB is a snoozefest. There is nothing in it to recommend either lead actor. They have so little chemistry that it was "Anti chemistry". A waste of money except for the little pawn fellow and he was predictable.
Though Heredity is loved by critics it was a jumbled mess without any real scares. Others will disagree, more power to them. I found it derivative and predictable. To hear an 18 year old crying out for "Mommy" was comical.
Saw the latest spider man film. The air-conditioning was clearly the biggest attraction. It was a summer blockbuster and as such was more cartoon than live action film.

Seldom did anyone show up to prepare presentations beforehand when I had parts. I hated it. They always winged it. I got used to the apathy and started to do the same.

Though they may have already aided the guy, we who were "Uber" dubs know the empathy deficit that exists among the "holy". These dubs were picked for their zeal which usually means leave them lying. Who knows the circumstance? We do know what their modus opperandi is ...no physical help. Magazines only.

Loneliness is what results from telling people to leave you alone so often that they finally take your advice.

If You Could Tell A Prospective Jehovah’s Witness Something What Would It Be?

What does it mean when you answer their second baptism question in the affirmative:
(2) “Do you understand that your baptism identifies you as one of Jehovah’s Witnesses in association with Jehovah’s organization?”
What happens when you realize that it means:
I understand that ...being identified as on of JW's in association with J's Organization" means I give control of my thinking and opinions to the Watchtower leaders and they may cut off my association with EVERYONE I KNOW if I disagree with them or develop my own opinion on ANY matter. I will eat what they say, I will do as they say and I will think what they want under threat of isolation for the rest of my life.
Jesus never included a threat of censure when he said to be baptized in the name of the Father, the son and the Holy Spirit. Think about it.

“A Man Caught-up To … Paradise” (2 Corinthians 12:2-4)
by MADMARY in“a man caught-up to … paradise” (2 corinthians 12:2-4).
above, we cite the verses that speak of "a man," a certain "man in christ" in fact, yes hearing words .... ... "unutterable words" or as some translations say, "inexpressible," or "unspeakable" words...words which man "cannot say," words that are considered by some "unlawful" [or unscriptural] for a "christian" man to even speak.
"heretical" words, words of "apostasy,” or even possibly, "blasphemy" against god!
