Dune 2's impressive box office performance sees it surpass first movie CA.MOVIES.YAHOO.COM Dune: Part Two might have been surpassed by Kung Fu Panda 4 in the US this week, but Dune 2 has still been a huge box-office hit. $368 million worldwide so far after two weeks.

Especially when it's just the term "illegal" (e.g. I saw an illegal on the street) and not referencing groups as a whole (e.g. Illegal immigrants are largely reported in the state of...). Same thing how people use "a Jew" vs. "Jewish person/people." If it's the former, it's an immediately red flag that the person has racist beliefs.

Exclusive: Russia producing three times more artillery shells than US and Europe for Ukraine | CNN Politics T.CO Russia appears on track to produce nearly three times more artillery munitions than the US and Europe, a key advantage ahead of what is expected to be another Russian offensive in Ukraine later this year.

If the US passed a law saying that all immigration was legal...the exact same people would be mad at all the newly-legal immigration, just as they are with the illegal immigration. It's not about the legality, it's about the brown people.

I know that Villeneuve doesn't believe in director's cuts, and I do understand since at this point he has almost full creative control of his films (and should forever). However, while I understand not releasing DCs of Part 1 and Part 2...I do think it would be very cool to release a DC of them combined, especially including some stuff we know was cut. If you no longer have to worry about pacing in the traditional sense, adding another 10-20 minutes wouldn't be a huge deal for a 5.5-hour movie.

That's why I've been falsifying my online identity as a progressive Canadian since 1999. In reality I am a small theatre owner in Texas.

He has a surface-level understanding of politics and tends to be swayed by the last argument he hears. Thinking any any point that Trump was a great President is a sign of intellectual and moral rot. I'm not going to lay off that point if I see it.

A lot of people got rich under Bush II, Reagan, etc. A lot of people got rich under Stalin and Hitler. Getting rich thanks to the evil actions of others doesn't justify that evil.

If your opinion is that a man responsible for the deaths of thousands/hundreds of thousands in a pandemic (and countless other problems) is "one of the best" US Presidents, then yes, you can be attacked for it. If you don't want an opinion criticized, then don't share it. Being mad that someone is attacking an opinion is the definition of being a snowflake.

I enjoy how you believe you understand politics and are moderate or something, yet are clearly actually brainwashed by the right-wing sphere and your family.

GOP AG of Kansas going after Biden for...promising to replace lead pipes: The GOP is truly the "nuh-uh!" party.

The biggest thing you can do about crime is give poor people money, but that's not sexy.

A sound investment (even if he loses it) if it potentially gets him favoured government contracts or even a cabinet position in a future Trump government.

Probably providing the $90 million for his court bond.

This follows Macron saying that deployment of French forces to Ukraine is possible if Russia achieves a breakthrough and approaches western Ukraine. I don't actually believe France would do anything, it's possible Poland would act unilaterally outside NATO in very specific circumstances. Either way, it can't be coincidence that multiple leaders are on record in the past week saying that western forces on the ground in Ukraine is possible depending on what Russia does. But what is the goal of these statements? Do deter Russia?

Nice, white conservatives will love him.

Great little video on how Dune is edited to evoke sensory feelings, often through establishing shots that are not wide, but rather on people touching things in the world. Definitely fits in with Denis' vision of movies being about sight and sound, and not about dialogue.

Russia just attempted to assassinate Zelensky with a ballistic missile, along with the Prime Minister of Greece. They were meeting in Odessa, and Zelenskyy's motorcade was targeted by a missile strike while he was 150m away from the Greek delegation.

SCOTUS is just a political group now, so you might as well just appoint young political staffers with no legal background. SCOTUS can just issue rulings like "Yes, XXX is no longer allowed." Adding all the legal reasonings is just convention, it's not legally required.

I had to pirate a cam version just to quickly see a few parts again before I go again in theatres. Fuck, the war council scene is so powerful, especially this line:

Ideally, the running of federal elections should be done by the federal government, and states should have no place.

Fantastic news.
