I don't know how I forgot Taken. That's some next-level justice right there!

Law-Abiding citizen was awesome too (though the plot got a bit absurd as time went on).

Not sure how many of y'all have seen Prison Break, but there's this one fantastic revenge scene with Alex Mahone getting revenge on the guy who killed his family.

That guy had it comin, for sure.

I'm watching Better Call Saul on Netflix. There's some pretty satisfying revenge moments in this as well, even for a prequel series. Don't mess with Gus!

Huh, did I not do any posts about it? I had been tempted to post that clip but realized he didn't get much revenge out of it.

Well, in that particular clip, it's more dialog than actually dishing out revenge (though it's still satisfying to watch).

Same goes for the Sauna scene, where he tricks Villefort into confessing to the crime.

Sadly they cut off the best part at the end.

I guess I can't make a "revenge" topic without including the Count of Monte Cristo. That entire plot is based on revenge.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OGLi49u-5-k

When Edmund reveals himself to Count Mondego, it is pretty intense (and the real "fight" hasn't even started yet).

Have any of y'all watched the series Luther? It's from BBC, but Prime Video has seasons 1-4.

It's more psycho drama than action, but there's definitely some good revenge scenes (especially when Luther gloriously takes down mass murderers).

Overlooking that it's their fault for changing the system, it's a reference to a scene from the FIRST episode and it's an outcome that most people see coming. Otherwise I finally fixed the damn thing. Plus pretty much everybody who posted a video with an image preview in this topic has spoiled without warning.

Honestly, it didn't bother me. Now I want to watch the show.

thats a crazy scene, I did not expect that to be so violent. The guys scream as he lays on the street was the hardest part lol

Indeed. That was some really good acting on his part. Interestingly enough, the internet ripped this scene apart, calling it the "worst scene in the film."

He's moving like an old man would move. If you're looking for fancy choreographed fights, go watch Batman.

But hey..., condoms are overrated. Just let yourself be FREE, and don't forget to book that Planned Parenthood consultation!

I mean, on average, of 100 people who go to Planned Parenthood, 34 of them will be there for contraceptives.

Whereas 3 of them will be there for abortion services.


That's true too. Sex Ed has come a long way, and the numbers are improving. But with the 50+ million abortions that occur each year, that's a BIG "3%"

https://www.snopes.com/news/2019/01/03/abortion-leading-cause-of-death/

Also, the whole "Abortion is only 3% of what Planned Parenthood does" argument may be a bit misleading in its own right. WP did a pretty thorough article on it last year.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/fact-checker/wp/2015/08/12/for-planned-parenthood-abortion-stats-3-percent-and-94-percent-are-both-misleading

But, numbers aside, you've gotta respect the efforts people are making to AVOID unplanned pregnancies in the first place. Nobody's knocking that.

I've heard that Will Smith is good when he's not pretending to be Robin Williams.


That's really the only way this movie had a shot. Instead of trying to "copy" something that frankly can never be copied, they tried to redesign the whole presentation altogether (in an effort to make it feel original in its own right).

When well-written, Will Smith is funny as hell (ever since Fresh Prince / MIB / Hitch / etc.).

Sex education might not be as prevalent in some places so they might not know about birth control methods.


That's a fair point, but most people at the age of consent DO know how babies are made. With the exception of those (statistically rare) cases of rape, you have the option to, you know...., stop fucking.

Which brings me back to the OP. Women don't want to stop fucking. Because it's kinda fun.

Statistically speaking, the legitimate "MEDICAL" needs for abortion (e.g. to save the life of the mother) are quite rare. Same goes for "incest" and "rape" arguments.

https://www.guttmacher.org/perspectives50/womens-reasons-having-abortion

*From the Article / Research Study*
"Researchers from the Guttmacher Institute compared quantitative data from 2004 and 1987 surveys, and found that the main reasons women cited for ending pregnancies were the same in both: Having a baby would dramatically interfere with their education, work or ability to care for their dependents, or they could not afford a baby at the time."

In other words, based on the actual statistics, the REAL "rights" women are fighting for in all this..., is the right to fuck anyone at any time with zero consequences or responsibilities. Heaven forbid women become economically or socially inconvenienced.

But hey..., condoms are overrated. Just let yourself be FREE, and don't forget to book that Planned Parenthood consultation!

YAY FOR "WOMEN'S HEALTH!"

TopicSome honest thoughts about Game of Thrones among the Season 8 hate... (SPOILERS)
shipwreckers
05/19/19 11:01:22 PM

So...., after seeing the finale, I still stand by my original thoughts as to WHY Daenerys "imploded" the way she did. I'm glad that the show didn't try to "justify" her actions (though she obviously did, from her character's pov).

I guess with it all said-and-done, the biggest problem this season had was merely a matter of pacing, because the narrative ultimately regained some coherence, but it was all so rushed, that the "plot twists" forced people so out-of-character, making it jarring and painful to watch (even though, deep down, much of it was highly predictable). Cramming it all into 6 episodes didn't help either (or technically 8, if you count the 2-hour episodes).

I'm sure the finale will still get buried in a sea of negative reviews among the internet hate bandwagon, but that's to be expected. Were there missed opportunities? Yes. Rushed plot-twists? Yes. Incoherent shit-show? Not by any means.

I think the bigger complaint most people have is that they've spent the entire series building her up as one of the main protagonists and a character you're definitely supposed to sympathize with, only to do a 180 directly into one-dimensional villain behavior simply because they have to have an excuse to turn her evil and have all of a couple hours worth of show left to do it.

A more nuanced turn over time or a less over-the-top turn now would probably draw less hate.



I guess "rushing it" only helps in races and burglaries.

As in the topic title, if you're not caught up, SPOILER ALERT, but after the "Bells" episode, I've seen so many people give the "My boyfriend won't make out with me, so I'm going to blow up a city" argument, but that may be an oversimplification. (Don't get me wrong, Daenerys is still jr. high level shallow-as-hell, but for a DIFFERENT reason). So, if I attempt to play "devil's advocate" against the entire internet hate train, the biggest interesting interpretation to me for Daenerys' glorious trainwreck of a plot, is that she's actually very weak (one of the weakest characters in the series).

When you think about it, she's never had to actually FIGHT any battles of her own. Whether by sympathy card, or sexual affection card, or righteous do-gooder card, someone or something else ALWAYS fights her battles for her. With the threat of Jon taking that manipulative power away from her, her insecurity has become her biggest downfall, because she knows that she herself brings NOTHING to the table (and, in truth, never did). Without her dragons, and freed slaves, and killer body, she's nothing (and she knows it).
