VirginDefiler Posted December 3, 2022 Share Posted December 3, 2022 hero, imo, is the greatest kung fu movie ever made. i didnt mention it like i didnt mention crouching tiger, house of flying daggers cuz theyre more recent and not from the early 80s. ive always wondered how hong kong cinema rules and attitudes changed in 1999 when hong kong stopped being british ruled w brit laws and changed to chinese communist govt. like no more sex and drugs depicted im guessing. not to mention how the actors had to give up 90% of their income to the commie party. someone should do a docu on that shit. cuz im quite interested in knowing the exact changes to that film industry with that late 90s political change.

Not reading all of that. Twitter had biased moderation. Which was obvious. The only that bugs me is the DNC shenanigans. People often cry about free speech issues when their isn't one. An arm of one our two political parties censoring what can and cannot be said on what is an essentially a public forum is problem. Twitter is a private company now, it was a publicly traded company at the time. That is a serious problem. That said I'm not surprised. They pulled the same shit with MSNBC and CNN to suppress coverage of Andrew Wang and Tulsi Gabbard in 2020. Before that, in 2016, they literally worked from Hillary Clinton to prevent Bernie Sanders from getting the party nomination. DoctaMario and J-ride 2 Quote Link to comment

The Chinese government can be kind of flexible on morality content, but they do NOT put up with the idea that maybe China didn't need to be unified at all costs. Just look at the end of Hero- great movie, but that ending is totally One China propaganda. As for older movies, most of the best will be Shaw Brothers productions, stuff directed by King Hu, or stuff directed by Tsui Hark.

Serpent Posted December 3, 2022 Share Posted December 3, 2022 Whenever I see a body getting buried or a service on a movie or anime or whatever, it's either night time or raining. At the least it's really cloudy and it starts raining right at the end, but there's like always rain. But in real life, I don't think I've ever seen a burial or service when it's raining or at night. They schedule those around nicer days because otherwise the grave gets washed out or whatever. They need to make this more realistic. I need to start seeing sunny, great days at these funerals. The only time it didn't rain was probably that one time they thought Joseph Joestar was dead and he showed up at his own funeral. DoctaMario and J-ride 1 1 Quote Link to comment

We found out without a doubt that Twitter, an allegedly private company, makes a practice of banning and censoring things at the instruction of the government (which is a violation of the First Amendment;) that the Democrats don't believe freedom of speech is absolute; and that our president and a large portion of the intelligence community outright lied (ahem, engaged in disinformation) about the laptop story being "lol Russian disinformation" to save Biden's skin.

If anything, a lot of this is smoking gun proof of what some people had been saying since the story originally broke and got called Russian agents.

It depends on your carrier and is the International plan a replacement of your existing plan or is it a Add-on to your existing plan. Also once abroad you actually will get charged differently, so pay attention to those rates. Is that Data unlimited? Is Text Unlimited? Is Minuets Unlimited? I would re-read everything and double check on everything. The sales person in the stores are idiots most of the time, and don't say the same thing if you go and read up on line what your carrier's policy says. Also assume the over the phone and online customer service personnel are just as uninformed as the retail folks. I went overseas this summer, got the International plan, I quickly found out despite being promised Data my Data hardly worked, I had to pay per minuet, but texting was unlimited in a country where everyone else got unlimited Data but had to pay for text. If it wasn't for WiFi I would had zero Data the entire time. Makes it worst all the taxis prefer WhatsApp as their preferred communication.

YourFavGrandpa Posted December 5, 2022 Share Posted December 5, 2022 6 minutes ago, DarkSakul said: Maybe Nintendo will not C&D and Sue Smash Tourneys in this happens more I honestly don't think it's that, as Smash tournaments (especially majors) play out without Nintendo's support all the time. But what seems to be the larger issue is with PandaGaming and threatening to sic Nintendo on the organizers of the other circuit. They (talking about Smash players here) have every right to be upset, as prior it looked like Nintendo was actually warming up to the idea of official tournaments; only to get shut tf down. The Smash scene I occasionally visit has tossed players out in the past for not practicing good hygiene. But yeah, let's keep the long running joke about Smash players and hygiene up and rolling.

Not going to say is factual or anything but I suspect its likely to do with the statistical age group pool that plays the game competitively vs other competitive games. I'm pretty sure that because of the higher amount of Teens involved (cause a good chunk of them think they can just go through life without showering daily) the venn diagram overlap is higher than the other games. I'm not going to say that its a Smash exlusive thing either cause I've been to some tourneys and and Magfest where I've unfortunately had the displeasure of being downwind of someone who is an adult but that's the main difference between the demographics.
