Ditto. Revitalized it isn’t.

If your into combat sports you’ll enjoy this. If you’ve been following for awhile you’ll be able to tell whats what. But take it with a grain of salt if not, its Dana White tugging himself off.

Oh, good gobbldy-goop. Waiting for a couple people to come by, and flicked it on for a couple seconds, and it’s just a really long poor CGI production. Nope, just nope…but had my digits crossed anyway.

Yes. Just a few years later.

I’m still a little confused. Does this take place after the initial film, ‘Rise of Skywalker’?

Great show, loved it.

Didn’t they chose an odd word? Perhaps “revisited” is more specific.

Movie was good. 80’s soundtrack was awesome!!

What’s ‘revitalized’?

It might be a good sequel just based of off the trailers the signs aren’t all that good but happy to be proven wrong tho.

So true. The entire thing is very gentle and even loving with its presentation. Much respect to whomever not only had that writing approach, but also to whomever gave it the green light. They really wanted that to be delivered intact & effectively. Like you, I’m wary of any sequel. We prefer great One-Off work over franchises & this film could easily be cheapened by greed.

The film also presents those themes in a way that doesn’t make it’s audience feel dumb as it treats it’s audience with respect something which alot of films these days sadly do fail to do and it’s something that makes me cautious for the sequel as well as this is a film that really didn’t need a second film as this film is perfect as it is.

Precisely. All are necessary and part of our human condition. Catharsis cannot happen unless we emote and properly. This film is a good way to present these sophisticated ideas to those less sophisticated, but it also is good demonstration of a tight family unit that rides out unexpected changes with love & compassion. Together.

Nobody’s worth going to prison for… esp not men!

25 minutes in reminded me of “The Cremation of Sam McGee”. :)

I had almost given up hope.

The sequel comes out June 14th.

This is a film that teaches you that being sad is not always a bad thing and that being joyful isn’t always a good thing but if there done together and done in the right way that’s when we get true magic and that’s something that this film does brilliantly in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Thank you. It is. From a mom’s point of view, a counselor’s point of view as well as the most important: a kid’s point of view. This film is tremendous.

love this show [‘’!

This film is just so good.

Riley certainly inherited her grandfathers talent for singing!

This film is just so good.

A parasite is a parasite. It doesn’t matter how they meet their end. If the parasite kills himself - great. If someone else executes the parasite to silence him, or carry out a vendetta - great. The parasite is gone. Super. A network who reports the possibility of a different death & has enough material to publish this thesis is not protecting anyone. They’re publishing a thesis they believe to be viable.

Anyone who has a stake in just one singular narrative that they insist upon has revealed a false ideology they care more about forwarding rather than children. To this type of viewer, victimization of children is incidental in forwarding their agenda - and this makes them equally culpable in victimizing children, and there is no amount of discussion they could ever produce that will ever remove that stain they put upon themselves.

A parasite is dead. That’s cause to celebrate. Method of death makes no matter.

It’s like everyone just completely ignored all the docs, investigations, articles, books etc into the prison system that has highlighted that theyre just a money making machine managed by the wealthy. With a lack of staff let alone properly trained. Always poorly managed and poorly documented incidents for well decades upon decades. Also traffickers, pedos etc are notoriously known to hang themselves, and officers are known to let them do so. with that said he very well could of just been hung by another inmate cause he was a pedo, or hung by another inmate cause they got paid buy a outside source. none of these are crazy, and to go nuts thinking about it blows my mind. sure we all want to see the list, but be real a list of that magnitude would be destroyed by now.

had to see this once again! What a Heartwarming Movie!

Love this movie & Aronofsky’s films. Got to see this on the big screen & it was amazing yet quite overwhelming w/the chaos that is created on screen. It is definitely an allegorical tale if you take time to dig for the deeper meaning & pay attention to the various symbols used throughout.

Good one.Chapter 1,so more to come..YESSS:)Let the hunt begin*

Back in season 2 or 3 they were scanning and drilling on the road outside Homestead 2. Instead of digging near the very unstable mesa, they should be exploring that road. If need be they can construct a bridge to go over it if they dig too far down. That road area seems to be completely ignored for some stupid reason.

Im enjoying this lil series, It kinda reminds me slightly of ‘Utopia crossed with Wickerman’ as greenguy86 previously said.

Steve Martin and John Candy gold.I’ll always remember my father crying with laughter at this one.

Is it really such a stretch of the imagination that overworked jailers might just be bad at their jobs, or jail equipment might be old and faulty? I can speak from experience that both are very possible.

The funny thing about conspiracy theories is that their believers don’t need any proof. Their feelings about it allow them to ignore any evidence or explanations to the contrary. They only seek out “information” that supports what they already believe, while condemning anything and anyone that proposes any other scenario. You can see that here. “If you don’t see this as I see it, you suffer from cognitive dissonance and lack critical thinking skills.” Almost everyone approaches things with a bias that blinds them, to varying degrees, to anything that doesn’t conform to that bias.

I don’t like cops, the rich, or perverts, but it is really not that hard to believe that this is exactly what they say it is.

How do we protect children? Younger children are the biggest problem here. Like I’ve said before, the vast majority of abuse is by people within the circle of family, friends of the family and neighbors. The 1st step there is just being aware of who is the biggest threat to your children and being mindful of their interactions with older kids and other adults in their life. You shouldn’t be overly paranoid about it, but also keep in mind that no one is really above suspicion.

The 2nd suggestion is unpalatable to most parents, but one I endorse strongly. Talk to your kids about it. No one wants to take their child’s innocence away from them, but the world is a nasty, brutal place and the sooner your child understands this, the safer they will be. The younger, the better. You don’t have to be explicit about the dangers, but you do have to make a strong enough impression on them that they understand the seriousness of it and heed your words. Obviously, they need to be old enough to understand the information you are imparting to them. What age? That depends upon the child and their cognitive abilities.

I saved the worst for last. How do we protect children from their own parents? Don’t kid yourself, this happens more often than most people would believe. Being aware of that is probably the most effective tool we can employ, but be smart about it. Don’t be so paranoid that you read something into healthy displays of affection or physical contact with a child that doesn’t warrant concern. You’ve probably heard the phrase “It takes a village to raise a child”. This also applies to protecting them. Be aware of what’s going on around you and watchful.

Lastly, what to do if you are reasonably certain something isn’t right. Report it to the proper authorities. That simple. Let them investigate. I would rather lose a friend, alienate a family member or piss off a neighbor because I was wrong than let a child be harmed through my inaction. Again though, and I can’t emphasize this enough, you need to be pretty damn sure that something isn’t right. You can ruin lives and families if you are wrong.

The only thing left to address is how to protect older kids. If they’ve been raised right, they know the dangers and what is acceptable or not acceptable. How to prevent kids from being victims of sex trafficking? That is tied to complicated social issues that I have no answers for. Keeping kids from being sexually abused when they are younger is a big step in the right direction. The other factors like drug abuse and unstable homes are unlikely to be ever solved. Again, just be aware of what’s going on around you. If you see a teen that looks like they need help, tell someone.

In the spirit of full disclosure, I don’t have a degree on any subject related to these topics. In truth, the last grade I graduated was 8th. What I do have is personal experience on every topic I’ve covered, but for being sexually abused by a parent. My early abuse was at the hands of a trusted adult in my life and the later abuse, in my teens, was by a stranger that led to me being trafficked. I’ve been in therapy, off and on, since I was 10. All of this trauma led me to an unquenchable thirst to understand what had happened to me. I am very well-read on various topics related to these issues. I’ve been involved in programs for adults that deal with childhood sexual abuse, as a patient and a mentor. Some completed college courses and CE counselor certifications, blah blah blah. I’m not an expert by any means, but I am fairly knowledgeable on this particular subject. I’m only exposing my personal suffering because I feel it is crucial that we learn how to talk about this openly. My shame is long gone, but picking at even healed wounds is painful. We can’t let these monsters live in the shadows anymore, so I speak up in the hope that it might save even just 1 child from going through any of what I’ve experienced.

Yes, the late 60’s and the 70’s brought in a new sound. I was in high school during the 70’s and watching American Bandstand was a Saturday ritual for me and my brother. And Friday night was the midnight special. That is where I saw Rod Stewart for the 1st time. Never could get into Soul Train though. I was lucky enough to see the Eagles perform at a Walmart stockholders meeting. And ironically, today is the Walmart stockholders meeting and glad I don’t live in the area! Traffic is a nightmare the whole week.

Excellent and underrated.

The worst, absolute worst, I can say about this show is: It seemed a bit rushed.
I have a feeling VivziePop had a richer story in mind but got a short season.

That aside, this show is fantastic. Nature of evil/good explored and subverted. Morality explored, and expectations subverted. Lovely, beautiful lesbian relationship. Even top notch songs. Five outa five.

Thankyou for sharing your deep insight and knowledge on this tricky subject. I am very happy to see that mods have not removed any of your posts.
What are your thoughts about people that are considered ‘sex addicts’, in that - their compulsion is not solely specific (pedophilic). They have a sexual ‘appetite’ for everything and anything, which they pursue > even to the utter ruination of all family relationships, and to their own destruction?

You are so right, these deviants are sensationalized, almost idolized in some twisted way, akin to the whole’ true crime’ mania with serial killers, et cetera. I admit my own fascination with a particular type of predator, because of my own life experience. I’ve wanted to understand why, which seems a sad cliché… It might surprise (some) people of how prevalent and historical these destructive human behaviours, are. As unsavoury and awful as it might be, children need to KNOW that ‘NO ONE’ has the right to touch them, without their okay. EVEN family members. That their bodies belong to them only, and that they too, have human rights. They are not the ‘property’ of anyone > even mum & dad…What school of learning would teach > or is teaching that, to kids anywhere - anytime?
