The German company that makes the mechanical ladder used in the Louvre heist has used the image to advertise, with the text 'When you need to move fast'

10/10 response, no notes

Image of the mechanical ladder outside the Louvre

Text below says WENN'S MAL WIEDER SCHNELL GEHEN MUSS (When you need to move fast)

Underneath is more German text which translates as "The Böcker Agilo transports your treasures weighing up to 400kg at 42m/min - quiet as a whisper."

What it lacks in story, or narrative cohesion, it more than makes up for in atmosphere. As with Lips of Blood I just found myself swept up in the beautiful visuals, which lingered in my mind long after it finished.

Enjoyable revisionist western with a great supporting cast. Big Burt phones it in a little, but the story is well written and there are some quality shootouts.

This was a blind buy in the Indicator sale, and it was absolutely my jam. The casting of Lemmon and Fonda is spot on, and they both deliver in spades. It had some moments when I was genuinely holding my breath.
Deserves to be brought up more often when talking 70s conspiracy thrillers

Up there with the best revenge films of the 70s, and has a lot more depth than I remembered from my first watch. Love seeing character actors get a lead role, and William Devane stepped up to the plate here.

This kind of talk is veering dangerously close to Wrestling Isn't Wrestling.

Guys, I just saw a funny post by a mutual, and started writing a reply before realising it was Joke Improver behaviour and I should cut that shit out.

Hope you're proud of me. I've really grown as a person.

Our centrepieces were stacks of our favourite books, with each table being a different genre.

We bought these copies at charity shops and encouraged our guests to take home any they liked the sound of.

We had none left over 😃

Of course women don't like the Cybertruck.

Women only want one thing, and it's the Immolator pattern armoured assault transport.

Black 17-year-olds are adults, white female 15-year-olds are adults and white male 30-year-olds are children. The republican mind has no problems with age as a complicated social construct

Vance on public outrage over the "I love Hitler" group chat: "Grow up! Focus on the real issues. Don't focus on what kids say in group chats... The reality is that kids do stupid things, especially young boys — they tell edgy, offensive jokes. That's what kids do."
