  • If they had said Keanu was in it more, it would have done better. I didn’t even know he was in it until he showed up, even then I thought it was just a cameo until he joined the fun towards the end.

    I kind of think it wasn’t as well received because it has a female main character. Part of the appeal of John Wick is seeing a badass quiet guy wreck house against numerous deadly assassins and showing a female assassin doesn’t have that same fantasy of being the main character to their target audience that consists of men.







  • Pennsylvania v Mimms.

    It is lawful for a cop to tell you to get out of the car, you must comply and if you don’t, you can be charged with failure to obey a lawful order or obstruction. There is no real criteria that must be met for you to be ordered out of the car that would differentiate between a lawful command and unlawful command except that the stop is lawful in the first place. Since there are oodles of reasons why a cop can initiate a lawful stop, pretty much every case is a lawful stop. So yes, if you run a stop sign, you can lawfully be ordered to exit the vehicle.

    All the same, just do what you are told and deal with it in court, which may end up with you getting paid if you are in the right. The side of the road is no place to make a shit situation worse by arguing, getting arrested, opening yourself up to physical harm, etc. By not complying, all you are doing is constructing the pretext for whatever comes next and that leaves you at a huge disadvantage in a court case that you could have otherwise won and gotten paid.

    Genocide of Canaan

    Genocide of Amalekites

    Genocide of Misianites

    Neo-Assyrian Empire campaigns

    Jewish-Roman Wars

    The Crusades

    All of which acts of terror, by modern standards, were committed. Poisoning a well, burning crops, rape, torture, etc. were how war was done.

    The Middle East has been settled for 10s of thousands of years and humans have only recently decided that genocide and acts of terror are not cool.
