Snak posted:Well, money that doesn't get laundered has no value. A cartel has virtually limitless dirty money. The problem is there's only so much they can do with it. Because they shut down the Chicago operation and killed everyone who worked there, they have a huge bottleneck in their laundering process. They trust Marty not to go to the cops. That's really the only way they lose their money. If Marty fails to launder it, they kill him and still have most of it. If someone rips off Marty, they kill Marty and them and their back to square one, but again, there's very little risk. With Chicago being shut down, they are hemorrhaging clean, usable money every day. Taking a guy they know is competent and forcing him to work is the oldest tactic in the book. Oh I'm not under the impression they can't stand to lose the money. Just that the assumption that he won't turn to the feds seems awfully risky, especially given the absurd amount of pressure they put him under. And come on, you have to admit the eyeballs in a jar was a bit much

As recently as two days ago, people from the show were saying they hope they get to do more because they have great ideas for continuing it: http://ew.com/tv/2017/09/19/hannibal-bryan-fuller-possible-new-season/ Nothing specific or concrete, though.

Ehhhh nah not really. It's a pretty traditional British alt comedy show with an arse of a main character. Its really good, and neat it's getting more of an audience now. Also Mindhorn was a fun film that'll appeal to the same crowd.

Cacator posted:I completely lost it at Vancouver landmarks being major Canadian and US corporate stores and covered my face in my hands when the host had Holocaust doubts. Incredible. For me it was the montage of sweet and tender moments that ended with the hotel room orgy. The host questioning the holocaust numbers got me good though Lastdancer fucked around with this message at 04:53 on Sep 22, 2017 |

I'm mostly joking. But there are some similarities in a washed-up main character that treats everyone like complete poo poo all the time but somehow still manages to stumble rear end-first into success.

Donnie Yen did a great job, but I won't disagree that his character was extremely cliché. The idea of showing us a non-Jedi that uses the Force is good, but just going "blind monk who is always wise and right and good, done" was lazy. They didn't even fully commit to the gay angle, which they really should have. I'm not saying I needed to see them make out or anything, but it could have been less of an Ambiguously Gay Duo

China will literally vomit a giant tsunami of money back across the pacific if you include them in your movie in even the most lovely tacked on way. So get used to it.

In some of the Marvel movies they even put in scenes exclusively for the Chinese version. Tony Stark will talk to some Chinese scientist for help for 3 minutes and the scene is nowhere to be found in the US.

I couldn't stop laughing at the scene in Independence Day 2 where someone at a press conference asks for a statement from the Chinese crew, because China "plays such an important role in the earth's defense" and they just straight up don't bother translating or subtitling the answer because it was just there for pandering purposes.

She's developing the medical tech that leads to Vision's body being built. She isn't totally useless. That said expect her never to be seen again in the MCU.

Independence Day 2 was literally funded by the US military and used to make recruitment ads that were basically unironic versions of the propaganda videos in Starship Troopers. But for some reason people only noticed and got mad at the fact that China exists and is acknowledged in the film
