Careful! Our muslim brethren here won't like this. It's not like it's only muslim countries that have intolerant and homophobic people. Many so called secular countries practice systemic and religious racism in that they casually oppress minorities, muslims and the LGBT.

The world is a fucked_up place. In a perfect world, we will all get along, but this is not a perfect world and we'll have our flaws.

I didn't say anything that's not a well-documented phenomenon, and honestly, I'm not sure what you're trying to say.

The Batman (2022) 9/10
Director: Matt Reeves

I haven't had a good noir film in a while, so Matt Reeves' vision of the Caped Crusader was most welcome.
Pattinson aced his first outing as the World's Greatest Detective (which he's not yet, as of this movie, but will eventually grow into) and I'm really hoping for sequels soon for him to follow up this performance.
I have such a Jeffrey Wright bias, I'm not even going to bother praising his performance. I hope to see his Gordon explored more in future movies.
Zoe Kravitz's Catwoman while possessing her sensuality lacked her experienced guile and ruthlessness which leads me to believe that, just like Pattinson's Batman, she's also in the early years of her being Catwoman.
Colin Farrell impressed enough as The Penguin to have me looking forward to his television series. Extra points if Gordon features there, as well.
And, of course, Paul Dano who was absolutely unnerving in his portrayal of Riddler as an anarchist psychopath.

Long runtimes are completely dependent on their pacing and Reeves does a really great job here immersing you into the story, that on the rare occasion you check the time, you're amazed at how much time has passed. There's not much filler and he doesn't let the scenes drag before moving forward.

Michael Giacchino is gunning for Hans Zimmer's throne and I say he has a clear shot. Hoping he comes back for the sequels and grows the sound to more epic levels till we get something akin to or surpassing Arachnoverture.

It was a great outing for The Bat at the end of the day, showing his first transformation from a creature of vengeance to becoming a beacon of hope while leaving many paths yet to be explored in the future.

Good review. Top marks.

I think the government is trying to protect the cinema. Predominantly Muslim countries have some of the most intolerant people in the world. They may burn down the whole cinema if they see such scenes in a movie.

The irony is that these same intolerant Muslim countries have the highest Internet traffic for gay porn in the world. Closet gays, the lot. grin

Not good at all. Man's a brilliant filmmaker and deserves better. I'm not even sure if this movie will even hit $120mn globally.
I actually thought it'd do up to $180-200mn worldwide.
Word of mouth is good but I ain't sure if general audience is hyped enough to turn up for it. Peeps seem more relaxed to wait for streaming release than to watch it in theaters.

It continues to reinforce the trend: Adult dramas seems dead in North America.

Moviegoers are calling it an art house film with meandering dialogue and surreal elements. This could explain why it isn't performing well. Hopefully, it recoups its money on VOD, streaming, or wherever it ends up.

What are these people and countries afraid of? It's as if many of these people are closet gay but don't want the rest of the world to know, so they overcompensate. Like, I'm not gay, but that doesn't mean I hate gay people. The way they choose to live their lives has no influence on me. Seriously, why do people care so much??

Ambulance
Fuel no they finish for these America vehicles with their long roads

The petrol tank capacity of a standard ambulance is around 23 gallons, with a fuel consumption rate of approximately 11 km per gallon.

It would give you a maximum range of 260 kilometres on a full tank. That is roughly the distance from Lagos to Akure. That's a four-hour journey, give or take.

It is one of Netflix's highest streamed show so i understand the investment they are put in.

But why is an episode of "Stranger Things" costing $30m to make?? GOT with literal Dragons and "Army of the Dead" didn't cost this much to make.

According to what I've read, a large chunk of the money goes to the cast, who were able to negotiate a substantial fee for themselves.

Which evidence ?? grin
The issue here is you're calling Depp an abuser too... It's in Court and no one has proved anything that has been parroted by you and Oyaski...

Is he a Saint, probably no, he's been taking opiates since he was 11....

Is he decent human being? He houses strangers, is kind to his employees and has never been accused of being an abuser by his previous girlfriends...

Amber on the other hand is the exact opposite of what has been described above...
Former employees have described horrible incidents by her, ex's have called her out on her abusive tendencies (this was even before marrying Depp)...

But no, Depp is an abuser because an Ambershill on Twitter narrated some events that happened on an airplane that oddly, only Amber seems to remember happening that way...

It's up to you to believe whatever you want to believe, I think I'm reasonable and give up arguments when I see they're going nowhere and this will be another instance of that...

Evidence? Don't worry, I got you, fam.

* Exhibit A: The couple's therapist stating on the record that the couple were in a mutually abusive relationship. She stated that both parties could initiate fights; Depp mostly because he is triggered by Amber, and Amber primarily because she fears being abandoned by Depp. Depp has never abused his exes, but Amber triggers him. To summarise, Depp was not aggressive in his past relationships, but Amber brought out the worst in him.

* Exhibit B: Depp injuring himself and lying to everyone that it was Amber's doing. This is called emotional abuse. Assaults are not always physical; in fact, some of the most heinous abuses are psychological in nature.

* Exhibit C: Videos of Depp displaying an aggressive attitude toward Amber, including damaging house furniture in a drunken rage, destroying Amber's phone, and violently assaulting Amber.

* Exhibit D: Text messages demonstrating Depp's systematic psychological assault on Amber.

I believe I've made my point, but sure, let's pretend Depp is Jesus. I mean, this the same person who is good friends with Marilyn Mason, a known rapist, and has admitted on record to having liquor and drug-induced blackouts where he couldn't remember what he did.

If Depp is such a good guy, then riddle me this; why would a UK court rule against him, then subsequently have his defamation appeal rejected? They must have had evidence that strongly implicated Depp as a wife abuser, don't you think?

The public record has always showed Depp to be an abuser in that relationship, which is why your current "Saint Depp" narrative puzzles me. From the way you're spinning it, one would think Depp never so much as talked back at Amber during their fights. The only thing this trial has revealed is that Depp was not the only abuser in that relationship; in fact, Amber gave as good as she got.

Please, let's strive to be objective in our thinking. I understand you like Depp, but portraying him as blameless in their troubled relationship would never fly. He may not be as bad as Amber, but he is guilty. They both are.

I could as well Christian you Ambershill, Depp never claimed Amber cut the finger rather Amber threw a bottle that gave him a nasty cut and he being Depp completely severed it him self...


In court, it was ruled as hearsay as the P.A wasn't there on the plane and relied on Amber's narration of the events...
The person who was on the plane was crossed on the stand and didn't see any kicking...
Depp was high and would always placate Amber, this could simply be one of those situations...

I'm not about to engage in a mutually abusive relationships debate with you, what ever that means, but the rise being propagated by Amber shills won't fly....Was the relationship toxic, yea...Who was the abuser...Heard....


You're a Bot because you can't be reasoned with.

You still believe Depp is a saint in that relationship despite all the evidence to the contrary while neutral onlookers like myself are labelled Amber shills for daring to have an honest opinion.

Did their therapists take the stand?
How do you define violent, banging doors when frustrated , banging wardrobes, there hasn't been any actual evidence corroborated by a witness which places Depp as physically abusing Amber, everything has been hearsay. The airplane incident has been debunked, when her attorney brought it up during Keenan's cross, there was an objection on the grounds of hearsay and the judge sustained.. There's a reason even high profile stars like Sia can boldly say they stand with Depp, it's very difficult for a woman of such standing to publicly tweet her support for Depp..

Depp has been in the industry for years, merely being a big Hollywood star doesn't make him a narcissist, Depp has literally had unknown people (painters, artists,) live in his penthouses for free and given them freehand to paint and just make art...
Infact, a narrative that had begun even amongst Amber's friends long before this became a public debacle was Depp was too nice which resulted in him being taken advantage of by many people (Amber chief culprit), his financial advisors inclusive... Being high a lot of the time certainly helped...

Your statement about needing two to tango is devoid of empathy in this situation, it reads like you're saying, Amber can't be an abuser because Depp would also need to be an abuser for her to be one in the first place....

Depp would most likely lose this case, but the narrative being propagated by some Amber shills that he was an equal participant in abusing Amber is simply malicious and an attempt to paint Amber as some sort of Victim...

They should talk to her ex and former assistants grin grin

In 2014, when Depp alleged that James Franco was having an affair with Amber Heard, Depp taunted and kicked Amber, and later sent a text to apologize, this was confirmed by Depp's PA at the time and were admissable as evidence in court.

Heard claims Depp cut his own fingers and turned the story around sayin she hurt him because he wouldn't sign a pre nuptial. This claim his proved unfactual by Depp's own Doctor at the time, and he text between him and Depp's came light, where Depp admitted that he harmed himself by cutting his own fingers on the said day.

You trying to say Depp did absolutely nothing to Amber Heard and she maliciously cooked evidence of abuse spanning years just to ruin Depp, a man she fall in love with and married, doesn't sit right with me.

I guess we will just have to let the court proceedings play out.

AnfieldFan is shilling so hard for Depp that I'm thinking of dubbing him DeppBot, lol.

Statistically, the majority of abusive relationships are mutually abusive. I've read research that show men are more likely to initiate mutual abuse than women. I've also seen research that question men and women in violent relationships why they started using physical violence in the first place...

"In response to physical abuse" was number one for males, while "in response to verbal abuse" was number one for women.

Regardless of whether or not this was a case of mutual abuse, neither party had clean hands.

From people who know Depp, Depp was/is docile who would kinda acquiesce to Heard sometimes to avoid confrontation...
How easy would it be for Heard to tell him he kicked her when high(manipulative) and get Depp to apologise because he can't remember or because he didn't want to make that turn into another fight....
Keenan Wyatt , who was also on that plane testified under oath that he didn't see him kick her....
Also, something to note, Depp as admitted by himself and close friends has built up a ridiculous tolerance for Alcohol and certain substances, where it might be a bit difficult to tell the difference between him being high and sober....

Now, I'm not holding brief for Depp but for someone who's been addicted to opiates for so long, don't you think if he was a violent drunk, someone would have called him out on it especially during the height of the MeToo era, rather, it's Amber who's been called out more times than I can recall by exes and assistants...Did Depp say some curious things, YES, does that mean he abused Heard,No...

The trial would most likely end up with Depp losing, winning these kind of trials are incredibly difficult but there's nothing that depicts Amber as a victim....
The person you posted on Twitter could be an Amber Shill...

According to their therapists, Depp was initially violent, but later, Heard took over and instigated most fights, while Depp was the one who try to de-escalate.

Here's my short and honest opinion:

Depp is(was) an emotionally immature junkie who readily returned to childish habits and impulses, and Heard has Borderline Personality Disorder. These folks (like many in the entertainment industry) are malignant narcissists on a level that most of us can't fathom. They were both awful people, it's really that simple.

I want Depp to win, because of how he was treated unfairly by the media and the MeToo movement, but let's not pretend that he's innocent in all of this. After all, it takes two people to tangle.

I already have Crash bookmarked for download few days ago. Didn't know it was from him.

It kinda looked like some erotic drama/ thriller based on few clips I watched.

Crash is distinct from other thrillers of the era by its unusual blend of eroticism and physiological dysphoria. In comparison to other films in the same erotic thriller genre, the stakes are quite low. The characters  aren't in it for the money, the power, or revenge
