War Room Lounge v183: I am so fortunate I feel bad that I'm depressed

@Prokofievian Swiping left on Dutchies so fast, I don't even doubt myself.

Re The Rock:

A scene from the film was the basis for incorrect and false descriptions of the Iraqi chemical weapons program. Britain's Secret Intelligence Service was led to believe Saddam Hussein was continuing to produce weapons of mass destruction by a false agent who based his reports on the movie, according to the Chilcot Inquiry.

 

[Lead]

And we haven't even begun to discuss inglorious basterds.

This scene is one of the greatest in film history.

Great tension., build up, dialogue, foreign language etc.

Very iconic for sure. That opening scene also was great. I don’t know where I rank it out of all his movies but it’s up there.

 

[Trotsky]

Agreed...

This wasn't his greatest work but the scene above and this one below are phenomenal.

I thought the actor that played the Nazi was great. Half great performance and half great casting, because his face just screams bitter, power-obsessed, right wing edgelord.

 

[JDragon]

I'd like to know the overlap between people who like Tarantino and people who like the US health care system.

 

[Deleted member 579584]

Ahhhh, that's what I thought.

I would apply this to the Saw directors, or Hostel...and even Rob Zombie to a lesser extent.

LOL I agree with those guys too.

 

[Trotsky]

An edgelord is someone on an internet forum who deliberately talks about controversial, offensive, taboo, or nihilistic subjects in order to shock other users in an effort to appear cool, or edgy.

Ahhhh, that's what I thought.

If that's correct, then I've been misusing the term. I just use it to mean someone who is deliberately edgy and cynical because they think it makes them appear cool.

I think you can use both ways to be honest with you.

He turned down the Morpheus role in the Matrix to make the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen.

LOL

Hostel did suck but it have the top horror scene imo.

(spoilers for a super old movie)

Spoiler

when he saves that girl who had her eye torn out and their at the train station, she sees her reflection and in that moment decides to jump in front of the train. I think the best movies are the ones that touch on the human condition and the dark side of what humanity is capable of. In that scene, you think the characters have escaped and won but she didn’t feel the same due to how much she valued her appearance and just let despair overwhelm her in that moment. Truly sad and horrifying to me.

Opening scene is that scene but leveled up. imo. I liked this one of course, but it couldn't top what already happened.

 

[A Lurker]

LOL

Exactly, the man was a cunt.

Both were fantastic....and beautifully written

Agreed, opening scene of IG is one of QT’s greatest scenes. also, IG is overrated af as a whole. Bottom 3 QT movie imo.

1. True Rimance*
2. Pulp Fuction
3. Reservoir Dogs
4. Kill Bill 1
5. Kill Bill 2
6. Once Upon A Time In Hollywood
8. Jackie Brown
9. Django Unchained
10. Death proof
11. Inglorious Bastards
12. Hateful 8

*not directed by, but written by, qt, and while he’s written several things he hasn’t directed, this is his greatest work.

like in seven.

That doesn’t make sense though because those movies were 5 years apart.
I do know that Will Smith turned down playing Neo so he could be in Wild Wild West instead.

Anybody have experience with no competes? Like, if someone signed one a decade ago for a pre-sales/technical sales position and has since transferred to a completely different business line, nothing to do with sales, would they be in violation for jumping to a competitor in the same business line?
My assumption is no, but then I don’t really get how no compete’s can be enforced To begin with.
