I don’t want z in SM4 or any other period. She’s done enough imo and why should she settle for smaller role again? It’s time to move one and the fans as well.

Why can't Z be in Spiderman Anon? I don't get this strong aversion to Z being in the Spiderman franchise. Don't you know that plenty of Oscar-nominated and even Oscar-winning actors have played in Marvel films?? Ben Kingsley, Michael Douglas, Michelle Pfeiffer, and most recently, Robert Downey Jr., etc. just to name a few.

She's "done enough"?? Wtf? 🥴 Z's MJ is a very pivotal character in the franchise! She literally plays the main character's love interest...hello?? 🥴

Truth of the matter is, we don't know what type of role MJ will play in the next franchise, but whether it's "big" or "small" is not a huge issue. Plenty of BIG named actors play "small roles" all the time. Don't you know Anon?? There aren't any "small roles", only "small actors"?? LOL 😅

Happiness is a Full Bookshelf 😊📚

My goal is to collect every Penguin Classic that has a black spine and cover, white title, and orange author name because they’re sooo aesthetically pleasing to me. My fun challenge of collecting/amassing them is by finding them exclusively through secondhand purchases (resale shops, ebay, garage sales, used bookstores, etc.) Then I only have to shell out $0-$7 each instead of $10-$30 each!

3 Ninjas (1992)

Take The Karate Kid and Home Alone. Blend them together. Now, bash the results in the head a dozen times to properly reduce its I.Q. Now you've got 3 Ninjas. This martial arts action comedy has no stakes, flat characters and a sense of humor that might entertain the littlest children but will drive every adults in the audience insane.

Every year, twelve-year-old Samuel “Rocky” (Michael Treanor), eleven-year-old Jeffrey “Colt” (Max Elliott Slade) and eight-year-old Michael “Tum-Tum” Douglas (Chad Power) visit their grandfather (Victor Wong) so he can train them in the art of ninjutsu. When the boy’s father, Sam (Alan McRae), runs afoul of crime lord Hugo Snyder (Rand Kingsley), the three pint-sized ninjas become targets but Snyder has no idea what he’s getting into.

It took me a while to realize Grandpa Mori Tanaka was not played by Pat Morita. I just thought his face might’ve changed a bit in the eight years since The Karate Kid. I was fooled. The film’s target audience would’ve been too. What makes them different? Aside from the 1984 film being all about the buildup to the big tournament and this wannabee starting with the three kids already fully-trained? The hijinks. This movie is all about the hijinks; the kind who require the adults involved to be so stupid they would’ve all starved to death. At one point, the three kidnappers Snyder's sent after the tiny ninjas are locked into the same room as just one of their targets and they fail to overcome him. It’s dark, but come on. How are we supposed to feel any tension when the kids effortlessly defeat the villains after them?

I want to throw extra tomatoes (or ninja stars, whichever hurts more) at writers Kenny Kim and Edward Emanuel. In one scene, Rocky and Colt go up against two schoolyard bullies who’ve stolen their neighbor Emily’s bike. They agree to settle things with a game of basketball. If Rocky and Colt win, the bullies will return the bike. If the bullies win, our heroes are humiliated in front of the whole school and have to forfeit their wheels as well. It shouldn’t even be any kind of contest. When Colt and Rocky get the ball, they easily score baskets from their side of the court and make dunks without any effort. They’re practically flying through the air like superheroes. They score nine baskets in a row while the entire schoolyard explodes in cheers. Except they spotted the bullies nine points and one false move later, they’ve lost everything. It’ll make you so angry you’ll want to tear the TV off the wall and throw it out the window. So what if the bullies won “fair and square”? They scored ONE POINT. Their adversaries scored NINE! The miniature thugs should be rushing towards the bathroom to change their underwear, not celebrating. The Douglas brother should be legends whose reputation would have all the female teachers trying to seduce them. It’s bullshit of the purest form.

Everything in 3 Ninjas is so preposterous it actually becomes hilarious for a while. Unintentionally hilarious but I won’t complain about being entertained. Unfortunately, the movie hears you laughing and then switches mode, becoming a straight-up "comedy". Oh, the fat kid is eating again. He’s ALWAYS eating. because he’s fat. Get it? Fat kids get fat because they’re always eating! The three Wayne’s World wannabees sent to their house all drink laxatives. Can you guess what’s next? Even the entertaining “spot the stunt double” game you’ll be playing whenever grandpa comes around can't make up for a comedy that isn't funny. The international version lasts 96 minutes and feels like 96 kicks to the head.

Most of 3 Ninjas is so forgettable and poorly written I’ll likely forget about it, leaving me with only memories of the funniest parts of the film. There’s a scene where a bully rides in all proud and tough-looking while riding a pink girl’s bike. I dare you not to burst out laughing. The best thing I can say about this movie by Jon Turteltaub (who made a lot of bad Disney Movies, along with The Meg and While You Were Sleeping) is that while I hated it, I’m also not upset to have seen it. Hopefully I can say the same about the sequels… (International Version, September 10, 2021)

Il grande attore britannico, interprete di film quali Gandhi di Richard Attenborough, Tradimenti di David Hugh Jones, L’isola di Pascali di James Dearden, Bugsy di Barry Levinson, Schindler’s List e A.I. Intelligenza artificiale di Steven Spielberg, Oliver Twist di Roman Polanski e molti altri, compie ottant’anni. Nato nello Yorkshire - in Inghilterra - nel 1943, Krishna Pandit Bhanji - meglio noto come Ben Kingsley -, studia al Pendetlon College e si avvicina giovanissimo al teatro debuttando all’Aldwych Theatre, per poi entrare a far parte della Royal Shakespeare Company con la quale, dalla fine degli anni Sessanta e poi per i quindici anni successivi, sarà interprete prevalentemente shakespeariano. Nello stesso periodo lavorerà anche in film e serie tv. Esordisce al cinema in un ruolo secondario all’inizio degli anni Settanta in Gli ultimi sei minuti (1972) di Michael Tuchner, per poi tornare, per circa un decennio, sul palcoscenico e in televisione. Il suo vero esordio cinematografico avviene all’inizio degli anni Ottanta, quando è superlativo protagonista di Gandhi (1982) di Richard Attenborough, con cui vince un meritatissimo Oscar come Miglior Attore Protagonista. Uno di quei casi in cui, anche al di là della bravura dell’attore, la fusione fra personaggio e interprete è tale che lo spettatore/spettatrice, pensando al personaggio, automaticamente pensa anche al suo interprete (come avviene nel caso di Vincent Van Gogh/Kirk Douglas in Brama di vivere di Vincente Minnelli, Onassis/Anthony Quinn in Il magnate greco di Jack Lee Thompson, Nelson Mandela/Morgan Freeman in Invictus di Clint Eastwood, Daniel Day-Lewis/Abramo Lincoln in Lincoln di Steven Spielberg). Seguono numerosi ruoli cinematografici e televisivi, che dimostrano abbondantemente l’inesauribile talento di uno fra i più grandi attori della sua generazione. Fra le pellicole più significative Tradimenti (1983) di David Hugh Jones, L’isola di Pascali (1988) di James Dearden, in cui offre una prova di grande magnetismo nel ruolo di un inascoltato informatore dell’impero ottomano alla vigilia della guerra, la commedia gialla Senza indizio (1988) di Thom Eberhardt, Bugsy (1991) di Barry Levinson, con Annette Bening. Negli anni Novanta due fra le sue migliori performances, ovverosia il contabile Stern in Schindler’s List (1993) di Steven Spielberg, con Liam Neeson e Ralph Fiennes, e il misterioso dottor Miranda in La morte e la fanciulla (1995), tratto dal dramma teatrale omonimo di Ariel Dorfman e diretto da Roman Polanski, in cui esprime perfettamente l’ambiguità di un personaggio che oscilla fra vittimismo e spietatezza. Molto significative anche le sue apparizioni in A.I. Intelligenza artificiale (2001) di S. Spielberg, Il trionfo dell’amore (2001) di Clare Peploe, Oliver Twist (2005), tratto dal romanzo omonimo di Charles Dickens e diretto da Roman Polanski, in cui, con barba rossa e semisdentato, interpreta il vecchio usuraio Fagin, e nel ruolo di un gangster in Slevin - Patto criminale (2006) di Paul McGuigan. Fra gli altri film ricordiamo Tartaruga ti amerò (1985) di John Irvin, Harem (1985) di Arthur Joffé, Maurice (1987) di James Ivory, Testimony (1988) e The Children (1990) di Tony Palmer, Slipstream (1989) di Steven Lisberger, Una vita scellerata (1990), Quinto macaco (1990) di Eric Rochat, I signori della truffa (1992) di Phil Alden Robinson, con Robert Redford e Sidney Poitier, Dave - Presidente per un giorno (1993) di Ivan Reitman, In cerca di Bobby Fischer (1993) di Steven Zaillian, Specie mortale (1995) di Roger Donaldson, La dodicesima notte (1996) di Trevor Dunn, The Assignment – L’incarico (1997) di Christian Duguay, Fotografando i fantasmi (1997) di Nick Willing, The Confession (1998) di David Hugh Jones, Da che pianeta vieni? (2000) di Mike Nichols, Regole d’onore (2000) di William Friedkin, La casa stregata (2002) di William Sachs, Tuck Everlasting - Vivere per sempre (2002) di Jay Russell, La casa di sabbia e nebbia (2003) di

Vadim Perelman, con cui ottiene una nomination all’Oscar come Miglior Attore non Protagonista, Thunderbirds (2004) di Jonathan Frakes, Il risveglio del tuono (2005) di Peter Hyams, L’ultima legione (2007) di Doug Lefler, Transsiberian (2008) di Brad Anderson, Fifty Dead Men Walking (2008) di Kari Skogland, Shutter Island (2010) e Hugo Cabret (2011) di Martin Scorsese, Il dittatore (2012) di Larry Charles, Walking With the Enemy (2013) di Mark Schmidt, Medicus (2013) di Phillip Stoltz, War Story (2014) di Mark Jackson, Exodus - dei e re (2014) di Ridley Scott, e il cortometraggio All Hell he King (2014) di Louis Esposito. In epoche più recenti è apparso in film come The Walk (2015) di Robert Zemeckis, Autobahn - Fuori controllo (2016) di Eran Creevy, Il tenente ottomano (2017) di Joseph Ruben, War Machine (2017) di David Michod, Giochi di potere (2018) di Per Fly, Shang-Ci - La leggenda dei dieci anelli (2021) di Destin Daniel Cretton, ispirato al personaggio omonimo dei fumetti Marvel Comics, Dalìland (2022) di Mary Harron , ispirato alla vita di Salvator Dalì, Jules (2023) di Marc Turtletaub, e nei cortometraggi La meravigliosa storia di Sugar (2023) e Veleno (2023) di Wes Anderson, con Ralph Fiennes. Molto attivo anche in televisione, a partire da fine degli anni Sessanta/inizio Settanta appare in numerosi film tv - A Misfortune (1973) di Ken Loach, Antonio e Cleopatra (1974) di Jon Scoffield,  Thank You, Comrades (1978) e The War That Never Ends (1991) di Jack Gold, Le allegre comari di Windsor (1982) di David Hugh Jones,  Kean (1982) di Raymund FitzSimons, Camille (1984) di Desmond Davis, Silas Marner: the Weaver of Raveloe (1985) di Giles Foster, Il treno di Lenin (1988) di Damiano Damiani, Murderers Among Us: the Simon Wiesenthal Story (1989) di Brian Gibson, Giuseppe (1995) e Mosè (1995) di Roger Young, Weaponof Mass Distraction (1997) di Stephen Surjik, La bottega degli orrori di Sweeney Todd (1997) di John Schlesinger, Delitto e castigo (1998) di Joseph Sargent, Alice nel paese delle meraviglie (1998) di Nick Willing, Mrs. Harris (2005) di Phyllis Nagy - ed in alcuni episodi di serie e miniserie.

A list of my favorite authors of fiction who identified as atheists follow. I didn’t know they were atheists before I read them, but I sensed they were from reading their works and later confirmed my impressions after a little research. They include: Anita Brookner, Elizabeth Taylor, W. Somerset Maugham Graham Greene, John Mortimer, E.M. Forster, Thomas Hardy and George Eliot.

There are favorite authors including Bertrand Russell, Richard Dawkins, Alain de Botton, and Christopher Hitchens whose atheism was made evident to me from their recorded talks and debates.

I think, and this is just my opinion that all this fear some anons have about Tom being "boycotted" in Hollywood, not having the same oportunities as other actors/ actresses in his age group and how his career is going nowhere stems from a number of reasons ( ridiculous reason but enough for anons to panic).

Tom is basically the phase of Marvel at this point and there is this general consensus ( which i don't get) that marvel movies are not real movies and marvel actors should not be taken seriously, thus no serious " critically acclaimed roles" for them. They also worry he will type casted.

This entire year while Tom spent 7/8 months shooting a show with a subject matter that most people especially his own fans are not comfortable with thus they think it's gonna fail, others ( that is his peers people just love comparing him to) were dropping "critically acclaimed" movies, casting news and shooting multiple movies and winning awards.

Its been a while since there has been any verifiable casting new about Tom and he doesn't have any "critically acclaimed" directors going about red carpets mentioning his name at moment.

I feel like as much as Toms fans claim to love him they generally have little faith in him and his abilities and little to no patience at all. Just one year and everyone is worried it's the end for him.

I mean the guy just a few months ago had two of the most successful movies this year relised back to back. NWH Might not have been an Oscars darling but it was praised by critics and loved by all.

What ever becomes of TCR, what we as fans should be sure of is that Tom's performance is going to be stellar cause he is just that good.

Everyone who has ever worked with Tom has nothing but praises for him; crew members, cast mates, producers, directors all praise him for his, talent, charisma, work ethics and how they see him going places. Have some faith.

And just a month or 2 ago an anon here on this very blog who works in Hollywood said people should stop worrying about Tom, how his name is being dropped in every meeting and how many directors want to work with him. Be patient.

And sure others are getting critical acclaims, awards, nominations and casting news this year but you know what? There's always next year, 2 years from now, 5 - 10 years from now who knows, anything can happen.

If people will stop comparing Tom to others and let him follow his own part they will enjoy him better. Trust me he is an excellent actor, ambitious, a sweet and nice guy, he his a bright career ahead him and those awards you all are so pressed about might come sooner than later and if they dont so what?

Great analysis Anon. 👏🏾

First of all, idk why ppl act like Marvel movies aren't "real movies"? Why? Because Martin Scorsese said so? 🥴

Look, art is SUBJECTIVE, so not everybody is gonna like everything, and that's okay! 🤷🏾‍♀️ That's why it's called ART.

Second, there have been PLENTY of great actors (even Oscar-winning actors) in Marvel films. Ben Kingsley, Michael Douglas, Angelina Jolie, Michele Pfeifer, Don Cheadle, etc. That's just to name a FEW.

There are plenty of actors who would KILL to be cast in a Marvel film!

Tom has tons of accolades and people wanting to work with him I'm sure. But not everything that gets presented in front of you is smthg that you want to do.

Being in Marvel has AFFORDED Tom the freedom to be picky and choosy. Same with Zendaya. Both of them now choose their roles VERY carefully.

When you have to take what you can get, you just do any old role. You can kindof tell the actors who've had to take any old role just to pay the bills lol. And that's fine! 😂 We all have to eat. So I don't blame them at all.

But when you get in the "big leagues" like Tom and Zendaya are now, you can afford to take your time, decline roles that don't speak to you, etc.

Tom is gonna be JUST fine. Idk why some fans worry about his career so much? 🥴

I know of other fans in other fandoms who are fans of TV actors who haven't even really done much, but there isn't this pressure from the fandom for the actor to break into movies, or to win all these awards, or do certain roles.

They're just happy to see their fave on their favorite TV show, or happy to hear whatever role he's doing next.

Idk why there's sooo much pressure put on TOM to be a certain way or to have a certain career in the industry. I don't get it. 🥴

Just ENJOY him as is, and take him for face value😁

Enjoy the ride/journey. Thinking too much just spoils the fun in being a fan of someone imo 🤷🏾‍♀️

Eagle sentry

One on the first day, one on the last day, and two each in the middle two days. During the four days of the exercise, there were a total of six mass launches of aircraft. Due to the short duration of the exercise, the scenarios changed with every mass launch. The exercise was conducted in the classic “red force” against “blue force” sense. In addition, with the 5th generation F-35 rapidly entering service, a future expansion of the airspace is being proposed. Still, the airspace limits the possible training scenarios for the F-15. This airspace is used for long-range intercepts which is exactly what the F-15 was built for. About 100 miles to the north is a larger area which is around 120 by 50 miles wide. Although the airspace is fairly small, it is very close to Klamath Falls and lets the aircraft get there quickly without burning too much fuel. This airspace was used primarily for the close range air-to-air events and smaller scale dogfighting such as 2v2. About 40 miles to the southeast is the Goose military operations area, which extends from southern Oregon into northern Nevada. Sentry Eagle utilizes two main ranges around Klamath Falls to conduct various air-to-air scenarios including defensive counter air and offensive counter air. Due to the fact that the 114th FS does not participate in exercises around the country as often as other units, hosting Sentry Eagle provides a valuable opportunity to train against dissimilar aircraft. F-16 pilot training continued for nine years at Kingsley Field, and in 1998 the 173rd FW converted to the F-15C Eagle. When the 173rd FW was officially activated, the 114th FS became the flying component of the 173rd FW and fell under the Operations Group. F-4C pilot training continued until 1988 when the unit converted to an F-16 pilot training schoolhouse. The designation changed again in 1992 to the 114 FS. In 1984, the unit’s name changed to the 114th Tactical Fighter Training Squadron. Known then as the 8123rd Fighter Intercept Training Squadron, the squadron trained F-4C pilots and F-4C Weapons Systems Officers. The 114 FS began training pilots in 1983. During the exercise, the 550th FS was reactivated and will take over training active duty F-15 pilots while sharing aircraft with the 114th FS who will continue to train Guard pilots. The 114th Fighter Squadron of the 173rd Fighter Wing was the only F-15C Eagle pilot training squadron for the USAF at least until this Sentry Eagle. More than 40 aircraft from 10 different units participated during the short 4-day exercise bringing with them more than 400 supporting personnel from active duty squadrons, Navy, Reserve, and National Guard. It wasn’t held again until 1993, and since then has been traditionally held every two years. The first Sentry Eagle took place in 1986 with the Thunderbirds in attendance and initially was an annual event until 1990. Sentry Eagle was devised in 1985 by the 114th TFTS (Tactical Fighter Training Squadron) as a means of improving the unit’s air combat effectiveness. The exercise is hosted by the resident 173rd Fighter Wing of the Oregon Air National Guard. Sentry Eagle 2017: Airpower Over Klamath Fallsīetween July 27-30, the 16th edition of the Sentry Eagle exercise was held at Kingsley Field in Klamath Falls, Oregon.

I’ve not really had much time to do a proper rewatch of Ghosts (I do watch other shows... but I have rewatched a couple of favourite episodes). This looks like enough of a challenge for me to rewatch the whole thing again. While I’ve enjoyed the creativity of the series, and the characters (oh Captain!), I think part of its success is also down to a great director. I hope the new director (Nick Collett) can keep this up.
