The War Room Lounge 158: In Ben Shapiro's Bed, No One Can Hear You Scream

Interesting thread

The only thing that improves is my opinion of Maggie Gyllenhaal's looks

Sign of poor judgement.

Although, TDK is definitely not perfect and has many flaws. It's just that it's so entertaining, that it rises above it all, to the point where people only really start to notice some blatant flaws that were always present, after a good amount of re-watches. It's good at hiding it's flaws, even when they're right in front of your face. Just take the initial heist scene for example. It's absolutely ridiculous, but it's so engaging, that you don't even think about how silly and illogical the whole thing is.

I might have on occasions when you were lying. Can you cite an example, since this is apparently eating at you to the point where you drag me into a dispute I had nothing to do with.

Like your parents, I just used you to make a point. You can go now.

 

[Andy Capp]

Are you denying you're a serial liar?

Yup.

 

[HereticBD]

Like your parents, I just used you to make a point. You can go now.

So, no examples then? Cool.

We'll just throw this one in the "forever butthurt" file.

 

[tonni]

Yup.

Guess what a serial liar would say?

Yeah I agree, it is a good movie. But for me rewatch value is an important aspect of a movie and the TDK doesn't really have it compared to other great movies. I still think its good, better than Slumdog Millionaire which isn't even that good on the first watch and yet for some reason got the Oscar for Best Picture, but at the time I thought it was a 10/10 movie when really its more like a 7/10 with some top tier set pieces and one really memorable performance.

Tiny hands but otherwise not so bad. Seen worse.

Not really, I'm an average looking and sized guy all around. It suits me just fine.

Of course, I'm not a typical Sherdogger by any stretch of the imagination....

Hardly. I'm not the one who goes around accusing everyone else of being liars. I see you've become unstuck finally from constantly repeating "Everybody knows..." but this habit you may find harder to break. I tried searching but the relevant posts are drowned out by the bazillion other times you've leveled the accusation.

Serious question, can you palm a softball?

Like I said, I'll file this one under "forever butthurt". Likely carried over from me mocking you for thinking PEI's lock downs had anything to do with avoiding mass COVID outbreaks.

Agreed , looking too hard for flaws in a super hero movie seems a fools errand to me .

Kind of a cop IMO, the movie asks to be taken seriously. Don't get me wrong, I give it major credit for predicting how smartphones will bring about the panopticon and how the Chinese subvert the West but I don't think it holds up to rewatches as well as other films.

Notice how his li'l dude looks like he towers over him, even though he doesn't? That unsettling feeling it gives about the father? That's the same feeling you get when you see a midget. There are disproportional things occurring in that image. Something is fucked up. Thankfully the kid seems fine, maybe it skipped a generation.

 

[Chillin' Nuts]

Hey guys I'm off to rehab again. No internet of course, I'm sure I'll miss you guys more than you'll miss me. Addiction is a bitch.

Check-in is in 4 hours, if anyone has any well-wishes that's cool, if you'd prefer to tell me to go fuck myself that would be very War Room.

I'm feeling very much like Sisyphus at this point, but you gotta keep pushin'. Back in 40 days a better man gents. Best wishes to you all.

The whole "Batman doesn't kill people" is an outdated and needless complication.

It would be fine, if the criminals he caught didn't keep escaping and killing more people. Surely Batman has a breaking point, where he realizes that his morals are doing more harm than good.

Caviezel had to film a love scene with Jennifer Lopez in 2001's romantic drama Angel Eyes; he made it clear from the get-go that he wasn't appearing as God made him. "I just said, 'Look, put a top on her. I'm gonna keep my shorts on, she's gonna keep hers on. Get the camera and shoot around it.' And that's out of devotion, love, and respect to my wife."

Polish-American actress Dagmara Dominczyk also filmed a love scene with Caviezel in The Count of Monte Cristo and thinks the actor's unwillingness to shoot even PG-13 love scenes is a bit too much "Jim took me aside," she explained, "and said, 'You know, I'm married and very faithful.' And I said, 'Jim, it's a Disney movie. I'm not gonna grab your crotch!'"

Do you love your wife enough to deny yourself J-Lo nudes in person? Jim Caviezal does.

Where does it end ?

My dad was like this , you'd try and watch an action movie and it was constantly:
" No one can jump from that height! " Or
something similar

some movies require a suspension of disbelief , in the end the movie either works or it doesn't .
