i think wesley snipes is totally underrated as one of the great action stars of the 1990s.
quick note for those of you who buy physical media: this is a very good looking transfer but compared to a stream what really shines is the audio. i use a 5.1 soundbar with DTS support and it sounds amazing.

it makes absolutely no sense to shame middle school kids for not knowing “major events” in US history. the whole point is they have to learn! and for what it’s worth, this kind of shaming makes it *less likely* that kids want to learn history in the first place.
you’re really having a hard time believing that an 11-year-old could not know who Hitler was? that makes total sense to me, especially sinc WWII isn’t an overwhelming part of pop culture the way it was when i was a kid in the late 1990s.
like, the second world war was everywhere in 1998/1999/2000,/2001 from movies like SAVING PRIVATE RYAN to television shows like BAND OF BROTHERS to video games like MEDAL OF HONOR
not to make a prediction but i really don’t think cruz is talented or charismatic enough to come back from “went to cancun while his constituents froze to death”
i’m not even saying a democrat will beat him. it’s an opening for anyone in texas politics who wants a senate seat
who said anything about beto? i can think of a few high profile texas republicans who have the juice to run a primary campaign
through his office and campaign, ted cruz has thousands of contacts across the state and direct access to the kinds of people who can help organize and deliver relief. for someone who isn’t in the texas government itself, he is uniquely positioned to help.
it’s all “we don’t need government only charity and personal initiative” until we actually need charity and personal initiative and then it’s “well what do you expect him to do”
a united states senate seat isn’t a platform for shitposting. it’s a public trust. and ted cruz is violating it.
sometimes i think about the incredibly strange teenaged mutant ninja turtles rip-offs from my childhood. you know, your “street sharks” and “bike mice from mars”.
*biker mice
once tried to explain street sharks to my wife and she gave me a look of “oh no what did i get myself into”
