I’d go with balls-to-the-wall insanity.

Maybe because it was released four days ago?

Farrakhan is a piece of shit who is currently pushing Scientology on all the Nation of Islam groups out there. Farrakhan’s views on just about everything are dumb bullshit mixed with irrational hatred

Enemy of the State is a sequel to The Conversation

What I’m getting from these details is that the film is exactly as bad as the ads make it look, for the exact reasons we all surmised.

yeah, maybe OP is very young, but support for interracial marriage didn't pass 50% until ~1997 (https://news.gallup.com/poll/354638/approval-interracial-marriage-new-high.aspx)

Reply to comment by IOnlySayMeanThings in Now that it has been awhile what is your opinion on the Avatar series? by qaz3d25
>Yes, but that didn't seem to matter much at all in TWOW. It got him a place to stay.
Yep it did, I'm not sure what your point is, he got another home, clans don't do that normally.
>He was just running away and completely abandoned the forest people. How was he so sure that they wouldn't be attacked?
He wasn't, he only cared about his family at that moment
>If he was gone, why not just firebomb the forest again?
They're trying to make it the new home for humanity, firebombing is what they already did to make the city and they learned they can't torch planets just like they probably did earth cause when they did, they needed another planet to go to.
>I just don't see the point of a revenge mission when they have larger objectives.
They can do both, and it's not a revenge mission, it's the same idea as a fugitive. In their eyes they're bringing him to justice.
>Why not relocate and start your mining and resource operations in a less populated area of the planet and spread from there?
Because they know this area, because there are mines that are mostly prepared and not fully gone, because it's a port, because it was a good landing zone, because they knew how the natives would fight (the devil we know) because this is a company, not a military and saving money in any way is their goal, because we don't know the laws of the earth governments in the 2160's on Pandora.
>I'd have thought the water people coming to Sully and being like "Hey, uh, we found Humans" would be more sensible.
-
He'd have already had a war he was fighting
-
He's not protecting his family then, what's the point? He fights for the tribe he is a part of.
>a million? There was a whole team of avatars, clone badguy, travel to another system, which would still cost money even if they were paying somebody who was already going. They had plenty of gear.
Already going to happen independent of Jake Sully, if you subtract what was already planned to happen before the fight in avatar 1 from what they spent, under a million
If you're talking the whole plan, then yes, far more than a million, but the entire Jake-hunting-mission so far was supposed to be uncomplicated and pretty cheap. Didn't turn out that way, but it was meant to.
>you hit $1 million very fast during a military operation.
Company, not a military
>So relocate your family temporarily and handle it? Instead of abandoning your new people and bringing the danger to a new set of unprepared people. Did he think they wouldn't find him?
Isn't that what he's doing? At the end he goes (paraphrasing) "I now know I can't protect my family by running, it's time to face them"
And yes, they wouldn't have found him until Norm's Samson troop carrier flew out to find Kiri.
>If they couldn't, they'd capture and torture forest people for his location.
He told them he was going to "the ocean tribes" and also, as it says, "they are a world themselves" the ocean tribes are massive, they wouldn't have found him, they couldn't even find him in a 50 tribe island group
>He had to know he couldn't just hide. As you said "He's toruk makto and was olo'ektan."
If you don't tell someone where you're going, then they won't know, capture a forest person "he's somewhere with an ocean tribe" capture a person from the ocean tribes, then Tonowardi already told them not to tell the humans where Jake was.
>It just seemed to me like lame reasons for everything.
You want them to be lame, so you don't think them through, don't call out a movie for your own fault.

Think the 40k fandom has a pretty strong claim to Event Horizon.

No need to call it out, but why include it? The obviously werent going to include any antisemitic stuff in it, so why the need to have a Farrakhan cocksucker in the movie?

Tell me you haven't traveled much without coming out and saying it. Super naïve take.

Many idolize her purely for aesthetic reasons (ie her beauty and style), but many also idolize her for persevering and creating a remarkable career for herself despite the many abuses and personal problems she suffered.
Like this person said she was more intelligent and proactive than she's given credit for. She wasn't a piece of clay that was molded into the Marilyn Monroe we know, she was a hard-working businesswoman who developed a persona that had mass appeal and had the talent to back it up. It takes an incredible amount of resilience and strength to accomplish that despite the aforementioned abuse and addiction, and there's plenty to admire or idolize in her personal character even if you put her appearance aside.

I’m a big fan of Event Horizon being in the Warhammer40k universe.

Infinity Pool.
> I heard that Women Talking was a good movie.
Personally, I hated it. Preachy, boring, and it looks terrible.
