You could make decent Christian films, the problem is that they tend to be right-wing propaganda disguised as Christian films. Chariots of Fire was a Christian film - big back in the '80s. It's a story about an athlete who refuses to run on Sundays. It was a movie popular among pretty much everyone back then, not just religious people.

Kevin Sorbo makes me sad because I really enjoyed his character in Hercules back in the day. That show informed me a lot about morality between the shots of people flying through the air in ridiculous slow motion shots. It was cheesy and upbeat in a way that I still enjoy, but Sorbo is a hateful rear end in a top hat.

BarbarianElephant posted:You could make decent Christian films, the problem is that they tend to be right-wing propaganda disguised as Christian films. Angelina Jolie directed and the Coen brothers wrote Unbroken, which was about Olympic runner Louis Zamperini who found God while he was in a Japanese prisoner of war camp. While the film kind of brushes over he's later evangelist work, it does have him do the Christian thing of trying to forgive his enemies and persevering against his captors using his faith.

But there's something genuinely wrong with Scott Pruitt that I think Donald sees something of himself in.

Meanwhile, here is Buff Guy, who runs into combat holding a severed torso as a shield while hip firing at BAR.

Every adult has had that moment when we realize the people we respected were fallible and flawed and probably as uncertain as we were. There's that and then there's finding out that Grandpa/Uncle Bob/Pastor Smith is OK with kiddie concentration camps.

Kevin Sorbo is what happens to a lot of these TV stars when they don't really have a lot of work or a recurring gig after a while. They tend to gravitate to the one thing that will at least promise to pay out to even the lowest of d-z rank "celebrities", right wing poo poo.

I remember seeing previews for a movie about a Roman centurion who is assigned to investigate what happened to Jesus' body after it "goes missing," post-Resurrection so the powers that be can prove to the people he hasn't risen. It looked really cool, like a historical period police thriller, but the loose canon cop's crisis of faith is, like, the grandaddy of all crises of faith. I never got to see it, I hope it was good, or at least not neonazi propaganda

Looking at the Wikipedia article, Kevin Reynolds, the co-writer of Red Dawn and director of the Kevin Costner epics Robin Hood: Prince Of Thieves and Waterworld, directed that.

Did I miss discussion on this? Because  https://twitter.com/AP/status/1014378637561393154 quote:As a meeting last August in the Oval Office to discuss sanctions on Venezuela was concluding, President Donald Trump turned to his top aides and asked an unsettling question: With a fast unraveling Venezuela threatening regional security, why can’t the U.S. just simply invade the troubled country? quote:In an exchange that lasted around five minutes, McMaster and others took turns explaining to Trump how military action could backfire and risk losing hard-won support among Latin American governments to punish President Nicolas Maduro for taking Venezuela down the path of dictatorship, according to the official. The official spoke on the condition of anonymity because of the sensitive nature of the discussions. quote:But shortly afterward, he raised the issue with Colombian President Juan Manuel Santos, according to the U.S. official. Two high-ranking Colombian officials who spoke on condition of anonymity to avoid antagonizing Trump confirmed the report.

Paracaidas posted:The U.S. official said Trump was specifically briefed not to raise the issue and told it wouldn’t play well, but the first thing the president said at the dinner was, “My staff told me not to say this.” Trump then went around asking each leader if they were sure they didn’t want a military solution, according to the official, who added that each leader told Trump in clear terms they were sure. Trump is desperate to start a war. I'm honestly starting to wonder if he hosed up North Korea on purpose

Venezuela has more oil in reserve than Saudi Arabia, and if you count their oil sands, it's enough to make every oilman in America spontaneously combust in a collective joygasm. Plus, it's got a secular population that throws literal poo poo at police, but aren't going to start strapping on suicide vests. The military is also effectively functioning at triage level, and unlike Iran, Venezuela doesn't have a couple hundred (conventional) SCUDs they'd fire at anyone/anything they could. There's no way Venezuela *hasn't* been eyed by Trump's Gallery of Ghouls as an attractive alternative to the GOP's fever dream of a war with Iran.
