    I’d be concerned if that was a real review. No doubt it’s a bot one.

    Essentially if you allow others to gain capital and money (in other words, allow the poor to accumulate wealth) then that reduces your (the control freak rich asses, not you you) power and control over them, it is unfortunately that simple and stupid.

    Keeping the masses poor means keeping control over them, this is why they keep siphoning money from every nook and cranny.

    Unfortunately, there’s only one solution to this, but no one wants to talk about it.

    They don’t “need” more money but they want it because money gives you control and power. It’s not difficult to understand their reasoning as messed up as it is. No I don’t condone this kind if...

    Same, I thought I’d be the only one to make this suggestion scrolling down. Absolute comfort movie even if I don’t fall asleep to it. It makes me feel mentally better, since, comfort.

    All this no doubt won’t be almost anyone’s idea of a comfort movie but its more spicy scenes aside… American Pie and some of its sequels.

    There’s just something about old comedy coming of age movies that does it for me in terms of comfort. I miss the simplicity of those times I guess.

    I’m European, right hand dominant and I hold the fork in my right hand. I find it unnatural otherwise and I don’t care if it’s “etiquette” to do the opposite.

    In a world where second-hand screen watching or whatever the term is called is a thing, Pluribus' existence is such a good thing. I find no issues with the pace whatsoever, every scene has meaning and I'm so looking forward to next season.

    Shame that in this day and age it takes 2-3 years to produce one season of television. Just another thing streaming has ruined.

    I’d like to think that there’s a group within the governments out there that have contingencies planned for such things but we’re not aware of them.

    Like a silo somewhere hidden where they could launch a rocket to the moon if need be.

    I’m going to watch Sisu 2 tomorrow and I’m excited, I loved the first one a lot. Will update this comment with a review tomorrow after watching.

    Edit: Massively disappointed in this sequel, quite honestly I wish it wasn't made lol. I don't recommend it, I wrote a review off-site but it boils down to: Terrible writing, terrible direction (even tho it's the same director as the first movie) and terrible line delivery from the villain, avoid avoid avoid. Sisu 1 is still great.

    I love it when my smoking family members comes to tell me that the GMO food we eat is harmful. But… You’re smoking. How do you not see the irony in smoking yet complaining about chemicals in our food?

    I used to be happy to pay for one subscription service so I can watch shows but then companies decided to be greedy and everyone made their own streaming platforms, now I pay for none and I watch any show I want in full resolution without any of the 720p limitations bullshit that sites like Netflix enforces because you don't use I don't know which browser, not sure if that is still a thing but it was like that.
