if movies about men got reviewed the same way movies about women did
“Look. Don’t get me wrong: no one is happier than me to see a man finally starring in a lead role in an action movie (especially when they look as tantalizing in a tank top as Mr. Willis.) but at the end of the day, the hard truth about Die Hard is this: it’s mediocre. The script is bland, the pacing is excruciating, and although it has a few decent lines, it’s trying way, way too hard to be funny and only succeeding half the time. The focus on “male empowerment” is way too overt and comes across as ham-fisted, like the movie is trying to beat the audience over the head with “SEE? MEN CAN LEAD ACTION MOVIES, TOO!” without seeming to have anything more nuanced to say about the matter. Ultimately, Bruce Willis climbing around a building and beating up terrorists for two hours isn’t quite interesting enough to hold this reviewer’s attention. If you can shut off your brain and pretend not to notice the glaringly obvious plot holes riddled through this corporate-engineered script, then Die Hard may be the film for you. If not, however, you’ll probably be better off rewatching Ocean’s 8 instead.”
this is fantastic now children in Puerto Rico wont be able to receive the education they deserve thanks to their messed up government
Its even worse than that. I’m living through it. Not only are schools closing, hospitals are collapsing. Only around 9% of the island has electricity and it comes and goes at times.
People are dying in hospitals because of lack of diesel for the generators, a lot of the water is now infected, there are disease outbreaks and scareceness of food. I am safe, but many are not.
Some have water, others don’t. We need help. Sending money would be helpful but what would help even more would be sending water filters, filtering water bottles, food, medicine, if somehow possible diesel.
All of you reblogging this news helps, but what we need is physical help. If you can’t, then spread the word, but God if you can send supplies… Please… PLEASE do. We are dying. Help us, help us save ourselves. Help us save our people. Help us save out ISLAND.
If you’re not in a position to ship or transport useful items to the island (which is sure as heck the case for me in New Zealand) then the best thing you can do is give money to a reputable relief organisation operating in the area.
You know, every time Puerto Rico comes up I’m reminded of a comment my dad made in a discussion about it, in response to someone claiming that the PR situation is terrible but oh well, what can we do? They’re SO far away after all and the logistic problems are SO hard.
He said, “When the Soviets blockaded the city of Berlin in 1948, America flew in to West Berlin enough supplies to keep the city going by airdrop for over a year. Puerto Rico today isn’t much bigger than Berlin was then, and America has grown immensely in wealth and power since that day. The problem isn’t lack of resources, it’s lack of will.”
Nothing about what’s happening to Puerto Rico (and still happening) is inevitable in any way. This is deliberate. Don’t forget it.
It isn’t just a lack of will, but also that people have made these disasters into money-making opportunities and so have the incentive to make them worse. Same thing happened in Haiti.
Well… You are a terrible influence and I love it! 😂
Hi I want to say. This seems cool in theory but please do not try this on your front door or other doors that you ever want to be able to lock again.
I know this is going to sound really dumb, and I’m not proud of it, but one day I got locked out of the house and, because I had seen this exact post like once, and having plenty of bobbi pins on my dumbass head, decided I might as well try and pick the lock. In my defense, I was in the middle of a nervous breakdown and was fully aware that I probably wasn’t going to be able to actually pull it off, but figured I’d try to amuse myself for the hour or so I had to wait for my mom to come home.
HERE’S THE CATCH. LOCKS ARE REALLY, REALLY FUCKING SENSITIVE. If you fuck around with them even a little bit, you will just absolutely ruin it and the key will be completely useless from that point onward. Obviously this did not occur to me in time to stay my destructive little idiot hands. The many times that I have seen thieves and cool action heroes pick locks in movies or vidya games, it was in situations where they didn’t really give a shit if they ruined the lock forever. But, that’s what I did to the front door of my own fucking house. Spoiler: I didn’t even manage to get in. I just fucked up the lock so bad that NO KEY WOULD WORK. That was fun to explain to my mom when she got home to let me in with her now completely useless key. I wound up climbing in through a window and we had to replace the front door lock.
So yeah. Your thieves skill did not increase from seeing this post but my Dumb Idiot That Fucks Up Everything skill skyrocketed. Please don’t be like me.
so in horror movies where flat tires stop people from running away…you can still drive with flat tires. it damages the tires and the wheels, and it’s not safe at high speeds, but you can still drive away from a raving serial killer. pro tip next time a knife wielding lunatic comes at you get in the car, you’ll be fine
well this would have been useful last night
See this is where people make the mistake. If the knife maniac is running straight at your car, SLAM it into reverse. You probably won’t kill them but you might cause some damage. Then drive. They’ll be stopped and you can get away, and maybe they’ll even be at the same spot to call the cops (and maybe the ambulance) on
what a top notch addition to an already excellent post
are we going to ignore the guy who apparently had an encounter with a serial killer last night
