If I ranked my Tarantino movies:
1. Pulp Fiction
2. Inglorious Basterds
3. Reservoir Dogs
4. True Romance
5. Django
6. From Dusk til Dawn
7. KB 1
8. KB 2
9. The Hateful 8
10. Frozen
True Romance is one of my all time favorite movies. He wrote it but Tony Scott directed it.
***very minor spoilers follow***
What Hollywood did with Manson was great. Kept me as a viewer really nervous through the movie about where that plot line was headed.
The Bruce Lee scene was obviously just blowing up some statements for fun. Everyone take a deep breath.
Lots of great cameos but I particularly enjoyed the short moment of Uma Thurman’s daughter Maya Hawke (for those not familiar with her work on Stranger Things, in this flick, she took off in the getaway car.)

This is mostly a sci fi thread so I’ll drop this in. This is one of the best books in the genre and fairly recent too. Its ideas and quality caught me off guard.
It is about a human-terraformed planet where the terraforming didn’t go quite right. Earth evolution gone a little sideways. The sequel is just out and is also very good.

All the time. Indian food, ordered out or homemade, is the best.
I'm with you--I have read all of the health benefits and sure that's great, but I just eat it because it's delicious.
I used to travel to India often and the smell was in every restaurant. Fantastic.

All these years and name changes later, and you're still wrong and missing the point of why those patents were linked:
Oops.
(2+ years ahead of the curve, it's amazing what you can discover when you think for yourself and do the work)
Do you really need to review your defense of the Hyperspace Research Institute inventor whose home base was St Thomas?
Come on Toddy: The only curve that was ahead of was the stupid curve. A plus plus for that though.

Sorry to break back in as I was on vacation from PPP but if you want to do a prediction, do it fu#king right.
QuoteThe Oil, Inflation, Gold...will all be there this year. They are one in the same and the end result of all the cash being poured into the system. I admit the deflationary spiral is deeper for assets that I figured would not be spit up....but nobody has a choice and the ones that can buy on the cheap are the ones getting the cash infusion who don't need it to survive.
The bank holiday can happen tomorrow for all I know. You have to be aware that it is VERY possible. Either to shutdown the markets, come out with a global monetary unit, or both. We are still in waves, but have moved to the 2nd level. We went from credit lockup in July '07 to Bear in March, Freddie and Fannie in July, Lehman et al in September, AIG and dozens others in October....it was exponential in time it took between crises. Now we are having the tide rise with the automakers, retailers, shipping, municipalities......the money is not lubricating the system because engine already seized up. What the Fed is doing is pushing the car down the road by hand as we continue to lose time against our planned travel.
The hot sauce post was a bit out there....but it represented the Bible. On it's own, a bottle of Frank's sauce is not a meal and is not going to looked at fondly by all. But when there is something cooking that the Franks's can be used on.....you would be stupid to dismiss it. The chicken wings of the economy and world pecking order are cooking up real good now.
I have never made a prediction outright BECAUSE of the Bible. I used what I knew about the financial and geopolitical scenes to come up with plausible scenarios....and as those closely matched some of the prophecy in the Bible, I would be an idiot TO dismiss them. I can't claim 100% that we are in the end times, but it is so close to being confirmed by events on the brink that anyone who studied the book seriously and is a player or student in current events has to feel it is very possible. I don't consider myself a religious scholar, or even a religious person. I am not afraid to say I am a Christian though. The church as many know it is corrupt and a big reason why so many scoff. There will be a special place in hell for many of the beaurocrats of religion that were worried more about their own pleasures and powers than for the good of humanity. That's one of the reasons we need to be suspicious of pretty much anyone in power....especially as the macro situation continues to look poor.
I'm glad that everyone here looking at economic news has calmed down, including myself. I don't know the exact details of where we go from here. I think we are still on the verge of disaster at any minute. The job losses are coming from all over and credit lines are being cut to consumers now. I bet you there are multiple people reading this thread that have had a credit line reduced on a card. I know I have, and I know people that have been shut down with no warning. There is going to be no way out of this other than to blow the whole thing up. That, after those with "real" money have taken control of all the major asset classes out there.
I still have a March deadline for the "other shoe to drop". We are going to see one or multiple of the following happen by March....and plenty of them happen over the next few years in my opinion.
Odds of any of the following by 2012:
War in Israel/Iran/Syria/Lebanon (chemical, bio or nukes used) (1-1)
War in Pakistan with thousands of US forces (3-1)
Russian invasion of Baltics and possible US staredown (2-1)
Terrorist attack in the US much bigger than 9/11 (1-1)
China moves on Taiwan (6-1)
Flu/Viral Pandemic (10-1)
Continued increase in major earthquakes in US and World (1-1)
Possible meteor strike or solar event much beyond normal (10-1)
Financial market closure for multiple days (1-1)
Default of COMEX as gold is taken in physical delivery (3-1)
A new monitary unit used in the US in place of or conjunction with the dollar (3-1)
Bank Holiday (2-1)
Civil Unrest and Domestic troops on ground in multiple cities (4-1)
Institution of Military draft in US (6-1)
Institution of forced civil service in US (3-1)
The odds of all that happening is close to 1 billion to 1.......even at odds that are much reduced from what anyone else would probably put them at. Most of these are probably 100-1 or 1,000,000-1 shots in people's minds anyway.
My odds say 4 or 5 of these events happen in the next 4 years. We shall see. And as future reference, the end times will take 7 years to play out. If we usher them in this year.....you have until 2015 for the final battle. 2012 would put us at the midpoint where the Antichrist is at his peak power.27My Christmas gift to Tom.

Why? No one cares. Everyone knows and you're just jealous you've never been quoted in the paper for being responsible for feeding 500,000 hungry female mouths.
This stuff I do with Deranged Rhino is just a little flip banter that doesn't bother either of us, I hope, and if I thought it did, I'd apologize to him immediately. Greg: I mean that sincerely and apologize if there's any overlap in your mind between the way I talk to you and this turd.
This forum likes you Boyst and I'll leave you with them.
Adieu until 2020 or beyond PPP! I know you missed me. It's been real.

The thing you're claiming I haven't provided has been. Multiple times. You've quoted it yourself.
Storytime, you just can't back it up. But that's fine. It's trivial compared to most of what you spew.

Proving you can't back up exactly what I keep saying. You said:
"The spookiness I referenced in Q's post is not that Q Team predicted Flynn would be safe but that they told us the exact day, a year in advance, that he would be revealed to be safe. "
All that underlining and bold is yours. And I await the Q post where he predicted "the exact day, a year in advance, that he would be revealed to be safe."
How's the stupid taste these days?

Dude, you're just reeking of desperation now. Might be time to stop posting for a bit.
So where did Q predict to the day when Flynn would get a recommendation of no jail time?
Duck Storytime...it’s an incoming dodgeball. You haven’t answered this one yet.
But nor can you answer any time that you’re confronted by your own words.
Nice job job staying away from “intellectually dishonest.” I broke you of that at least.
Still need further operations though.
You may get your wish. You’ve won over your story circle here and it’s half make believe, half circle jerk. With a guy who’s got a really dirty record in the room and who everyone likes to hang with.

Most supermarkets stock more than 30,000 items, yet every time we race up and down the aisles of the grocery store, we toss into our carts the same 10 to 15 foods. Which isn't such a bad thing, as long as you're taking home the right foods ones that will keep you healthy, fuel peak performance, and easily cook up into lots of delicious meals. So before your next trip to the grocery store, add the following 15 foods to your must-buy list. Then, when you get home, use our tips and recipes to easily get them into your diet and onto your menu.
Add to your cart: Almonds
Runners should eat a small handful of almonds at least three to five times per week. Nuts, especially almonds, are an excellent source of vitamin E, an antioxidant that many runners fall short on because there are so few good food sources of it. Studies have shown that eating nuts several times per week lowers circulating cholesterol levels, particularly the artery-clogging LDL type, decreasing your risk for heart disease. And the form of vitamin E found in nuts, called gamma-tocopherol (a form not typically found in supplements), may also help protect against cancer.
Add to your diet: Add almonds and other nuts to salads or pasta dishes, use as a topping for casseroles, or throw them into your bowl of hot cereal for extra crunch. Combine with chopped dried fruit, soy nuts, and chocolate bits for a healthy and tasty trail mix. Almond butter is perfect spread over whole-grain toast or on a whole-wheat tortilla, topped with raisins, and rolled up. Store all nuts in jars or zipper bags in a cool dry place away from sunlight and they'll keep for about two to four months. Storing them in the freezer will allow them to keep an extra month or two.You should stay away from the story circle.

You were sure confident in Hillary’s ascendency as a foregone manipulation by the Deep State.
Hard to remember your own ***** isn’t it?
And you say other people predicted things. When they didn’t.
And you backfit facts to little crumbs.

Judge threatened Flynn in order to ensure his full cooperation, and that of future witnesses. He was just flexing, as judges do.
Flynn ain’t getting time and it’s doubtful the judge was going to sentence him to prison. But Flynn will wring a few more ounces out of his memory after today’s theater.

Go find something in a Q forum and get back to us. Another prediction that you ardently defend and are proved laughably wrong about will keep me entertained. Your retweeted thoughts of others are a little too B-Man and 26 to enjoy.
