As has rightly been pointed out, the first clip isn't Minority Report, it's Iron Man 2, a film which highlights the dangers of military proliferation and facing the consequences of previous military action.
You're absolutely right, gah.
A petulant bully demanding the blanket bombing of what he believes to be an unarmed enemy (Star Wars).
If they think any of the above actually supports what they're doing, they're even stupider than the exceptionally stupid people you already thought they were. 7/7
A man's descent into paranoia, violence & greed prompted by America's non-existent healthcare system. (Breaking Bad)
A fetishisation of the military complex and the use of artificial intelligence to fight wars. (Transformers)
6/7
A grotesque, bloated parody of Hollywood amorality and the powerful being willing to do anything in the pursuit of money. (Tropic Thunder)
An alien who defends the poor and the weak from a billionaire property magnate willing to destroy America. (Superman)
5/7
The dangers of propaganda when fighting a war even if you feel it's justified. (Halo)
A man who goes on a rampage after an entirely unjustified act of aggression by somebody who stole their resources. (John Wick)
4/7
A country defending itself against imperial oppressors despite them having overwhelming numbers and resources. (Braveheart)
A man who becomes drunk on his ability to break the law for his own advantage while supposedly upholding the law. (Better Call Saul)
3/7
Flawed law enforcement that preemptively punishes people for crimes they haven't even commited yet. (Minority Report)
The dangers of an empire being in the hands of a perverted, cowardly and vengeful emperor who craves adoration and sexually assaults people. (Gladiator)
2/7
It will take more than one post to list all the ways in which the right have no media literacy whatsoever. They love the noise & sound films & TV make without understanding what any of it means. So anyway, let's go through some of the clips they used in support of their illegal and immoral war. 1/7
I listened to our Eurovision entry and it sounds like a song you'd hear in a CBBC show called Jasper's Krazy World where the presenter has a sidekick who's a talking fridge.
Telephone sales job. All the bosses were away for the day. Workers outside accidentally drilled through the power & phone lines & say it'll be tomorrow before they're fixed. I'm putting on my coat to go home when my colleagues say this is a great chance to brainstorm sales ideas ALL DAY.
Sorry, wasn't trying to diminish the sexism in the industry, that's self-evidently thing, definitely. Ageism, too.
But who needs material? They just go on stage and just make it up, shurely?
Lynn Ruth Miller, a great comedian who toured the world doing standup, started at the age of 71 having lived a life worth telling jokes about. You're a mere pup by comparison.
Noem wearing a cowboy hat the size of a watermelon.
I don't envy Mark (Wayne) Mullin following Noem. Those are some pretty big hats to fill.
(I'd hate to be anything in the Noem household on any night, in fairness)
I'd hate to be a dog in the Noem household tonight.

Hairy today, gone tomorrow.
Some rich pricks are sad that life in Dubai is now dangerous for them for a change...
...and one of them is ACTUALLY CALLED TORY.
This is just lazy writing.
There's Methodist in your madnessist.

Todd @ Why are we bothering with the Strait of Hormuz when we could simply do this? Explain it to me like I'm 5. Canal RIOS 508 MOUNTAIN HARD AND BIG, WATER NO UP. MANY MANY DIG DIG.
I love the Peter Cook story when somebody in the queue in front of him said to the maître d of a restaurant "Don't you know who I am?"
Cook raised his voice and said to the entire restaurant while pointing at the rude customer "Excuse me, can anybody help? This person has forgotten who he is."
Yeah, I wouldn't open with it.
It's not an 'absolute right' if it can be withdrawn on the whim of a government, Evil Squidward.
In the same way that if you own a spare drawer in a kitchen it will automatically fill up with broken or incomprehensible cooking gadgets within three months, if you start a rightwing group chat it will fill up with Nazis.
Sadly we'll never get to see Russ Meyer's take on Jude The Obscure.
Little Matty Goodwin has his inevitable Spectator column in which he predicts he'll win a seat in the general election despite expressing his disgust at having to talk to Muslims ("angry Muslims") and women ("cat ladies"), who make up 6% and 51% of the electorate respectively. Good luck with that.
