My main point is that Europeans urgently need to adapt their strategy going forward:
"Von Ondarza said appeasement “has not worked on trade, it hasn’t worked on security, and it won’t prevent the US supporting Europe’s far right”. “The bloc needs to articulate a strong strategy of its own.”

gah – I haven't. And I know I've wanted to; I like McTiernan. I'll move that up my list.
btw I appreciate the "no one but my friends" comment, b/c I desperately try to get my friends to see these movies and they won't. So my list is "no one but me" 😭😆

lol. And it brought Robert Downey Jr back, *and* got him the part of Iron Man (one of the most consequential casting decisions in recent history).
you’ve probably seen but if not I recommend another underseen Shane Black film: The Nice Guys. (Why don’t ppl flock to this guy’s movies?)

The boat was split in half. 9 men were dead. 2 more clung to a floating piece of wreckage and tried desperately to flip it over for 41 minutes straight. There was no possible way they were going anywhere.
Then they were killed in cold blood by the U.S. military.
