There no doubt it would be amazing, but then the patrova line lights up all red and shiny.


What is cool is that the effect was primarily made with lenses and chicken wire with lights attached. Practical effects were one of the many things that made this movie so special.

Just because you can make these comparisons doesn't mean that's what they were written as. Because the author has told us they weren't.


I would not argue that he intended symbolism, but I think we underestimate the Christian worldview's influence on those raised in the West. The themes often emerge whether the author intended them or not, and I don't think there is anything wrong with finding such themes. Look at Harry Potter. The author is agnostic, but it is hard to deny the Christian themes throughout, whether intended or not.
I have three daughters. They loved the original and I actually preferred it to most everything else my kids watched over and over growing up. I would imagine we were the prime target. But we’ve had no desire to watch this. It seems like it wouldn’t even be that live action. Just real actors in front of a bunch of CGI. And I would imagine facial expressions are limited compared to the original animation. I just don’t see the point.

So we are going to throw out a mountain of evidence that he was there for one eye witness report. Do you know how unreliable eye witness accounts can be? Give it up dude.
True. But the Republicans don’t have to have that seat but the Democrats do. Best not to take the chance.

Wouldn’t they want to keep Collin’s in? She does what she is told.


As much as she is a wild card in how she votes, the balance of power in the Senate very much rests on her seat for the midterms.
It won't matter, the widow attack cult will not be deterred. These people are broken in a way that neither evidence nor logic will move them an inch.
Her name was already out there but the media refused to press it until the polls started looking bad. All of this is by careful design, just like Swallwell.

the fact you cant come to grips with it says alot about you. You know they cheated, yet still cant bring yourself to actually believe it.


It probably says less than you think. I get why you feel the way you do, and I probably shouldn't have even gone there since this isn't what this thread is about, and I have no interest in fighting anyone who believes differently from me on this. I feel pretty deeply that the 2020 election was an unjust travesty. But I am not sure woke would have been so damaged had Biden's term not happened. I think the Trump rebound is ultimately better for Trump than if he had simply won outright in 2020, but I am not sure that is exactly quantifiable.

You do realize this is a horrible look for Andrew Kolvet.


You do realize that Charlie Kirk was, by definition, a coalition builder. He was always very slow to publicly disparage anyone on the right. I am not a huge fan of the never-punch-right approach, but it probably helped Trump get elected. It makes complete sense to me that his public statement about some on the right might not have matched his true feelings.
quote:

If that was the prosecutions best evidence against TR, dude is gonna walk. That was the biggest nothing burger in a "slam dunk case" we've ever seen.


Holy crap! You guys are completely insane!
I already responded to your assertions. None of them have any merit except the possible embellishment of her school record and even that lacks hard proof. Yes, you have made lots of assertions but you have offered zero proof of those assertions. How can I debate unproven assertions? At this point you have asserted things you “find interesting”. I really don’t care about what you find interesting I care about the truth.
quote:

yeah it was ILLEGALLY stolen.


I really don't care to debate this deeply. I feel like illegal crap went down; I am just not convinced it was enough to overturn it. Is there that big a difference between it being illegally stolen and immorally rigged? Are we not on the same team ultimately? In my mind, we are.
quote:

So, I do strike that, for now. Though I readily also admit, it would not surprise me if that story ends up finding its way to being substantiated one day.


I mean! Do you people hear yourselves!?!? Even when you can't back up your assertions with fact and have to back off of an assertion you made as true that turns out to be untrue by your own admission, you still have to let it hang out there in conspiracy land as probably true. This proves my original post in this thread in saying the facts will never matter to the members of this widow attack cult.
quote:

There is also NO EVIDENCE of the 2020 election theft too. So take that with a grain of salt


Not to go off on a rabbit trail, but the 2020 election was not illegally stolen; however, it was 100% unethically rigged.
quote:

just how bad do you have to be to be kicked out of a country? Serious question.


Serious question: show me proof of this. I've looked for evidence of it. I haven't found any official Romanian record, court document, government statement, or credible reporting showing she was banned or expelled. If you have some evidence beyond internet rumors, I'd be interested in seeing it.
I see you are a full disciple of Candace. You use phrases like "interesting blips" "I find it odd," "it's interesting," "she has an interesting relationship...". "Romania has a documented history of issues," and since Erika did orphan work there, she should obviously be under suspicion for human trafficking. You know who for sure did shady shite with girls in Romania? The Tate brothers, but Candace is totally cool with them.

Your strongest case here is that maybe she fudged on some academic credentials. That wouldn't be out of the realm of possibility for someone in the pageant business trying to pad their credentials. Some of those credential questions appear valid and deserve explanation if the public evidence is accurate. But it's overstating the case to say everything is 'proven.' Much of what's circulating comes from internet investigators and commentators rather than official records. It's reasonable to distinguish between evidence that raises questions and claims that have been independently established.

None of what you offered in that whole diatribe is anything resembling hard evidence. I kept waiting for you to say "We don't know, but we know you know".



quote:

How much do you know about Erika's background? Have you looked into it ever?


Yes. I've looked into both the documented facts and the allegations. I haven't found credible evidence supporting the more sensational claims that circulate online. Can you show me some hard evidence that she trafficked in Romanian children or was hanging out with CIA operatives? My research has uncovered none.
quote:

You must not visit this board often.


I visit it more than I care to admit. It doesn't make it any less asinine. :lol:
I feel like folks are far too optimistic about these clowns being exposed. If you have come to the belief that Erika had anything to do with her husband's death, then you are immune to the facts and the truth. It does not matter how much proof is presented; they will remain caught in their cult beliefs and continue to give clicks to their clown overlord grifters. These are the type of folks that cannot be reasoned with.
quote:

And I don't hate Young Washington, as I have not seen it.


I am sorry, but when you have not seen a movie, it is completely asinine to make definitive statements about it. It just shows your criticism is completely agenda-driven. I am assuming Super Girl is awful from what I have heard, but I am not running around making definitive statements because I value my time too much to watch it. I sit it out. You probably should too.
