I'm working on a list

Please name the country that your opinion applies to.

statement and ignore the second......guess you didn't figure out that I was mimicking you.

mimick.....the most sincere form of flattery?

Thank you.

Mimicking definition, to imitate or copy in action, speech, etc., often playfully or derisively.....someone is feeling impish this morning

Don't you mean mocking?

to protect ourselves FROM the hunters of deplorables?

The "Elite"?

MORE elite than DJT?

"The Hunt" has been cancelled.

it was an election killer for THEM....the pressure is ON.

Seems these hunters were MAGA types.

Anyway after the mass shootings seemed like bad timing to release that film.

That's what I thought also...."the Elite"?

There are no longer any "Elite"...from this point forward THEY shall be referred to as the "Deplorables"?

Perhaps from the reported ENDING where the deplorables turned the tables and fought back?

YOU believe THEY...never mind who THEY are, cancelled the movie BECAUSE OF THE ENDING.

The movie was NOT cancelled because of the storyline of the movie?....

One group of people hunting down another group of people is OK with you?

Just the ending, THAT is the reason for the cancellation?

YOU said this: "RE:Seems these hunters were MAGA types"

And I responded to THAT.

I don't believe it was cancelled because of the ending....I believe it was cancelled because somebody with a BRAIN realized that they can't complain about Trump's 'rhetoric' and blame HIM personally for El Paso and then deliberately bring out a movie that might be perceived to be INCITING more radical left crazies towards violence against conservatives/Trump supporters.

And you responded

someone says

Seems these hunters were MAGA types"

and YOU respond with

Perhaps from the reported ENDING

MAGA types have a "reported ENDING"?

Movies have a reported ENDING....MAGA types probably will have a reported ENDING but it's highly unlikely that you would admit that....being a MAGA type

Sure sounds like you're talking about the cancellation of a movie.

FOCUS, TONI.....FOCUS.

and films was, Real life is bad enough. Why do we need novelists making up new evils?
Same with The Hunt.

I'm with you. And Victoria is too - we both bemoan "torture porn" type television series such as "Criminal Minds" and others that while well written, cast, performed, etc. focus so much on the dark side of human behaviour that it is too much to watch at times. While earlier police 'procedural' shows like "Law and Order", "NYPD Blue", and further back to "Hill Street Blues" and other good shows often depicted rather chilling crimes/criminals , at least they were leavened with humor and incisive character studies.

As you note, real life is quite horrific already - so often we opt for comedies/'dramedies'/documentaries (real life but usually science shows or nature such as the excellent BBC series' available on netflix.) I don't mind seeing animals devour each other - most times! ( sometimes it too is a bit much such as when Orcas "play" with their meals - just seems cruel).

The first leader of the profiler group was played by Mandy Patinkin, one of our best actors. He quit after first or second season because he saw the scripts changing in just the way you said. I did, too. Soft core porn. Interesting, because actors aren't required to think. Just show up, hit their mark, say their lines. With his CV, he was being paid very well.

I enjoyed the Law and Order franchise, featuring excellent acting, writing and production values. Left when they went the same route.
Example: Criminal Intent had scripts about a wealthy miser e.g. being killed for his money; all his relatives were suspects. Then it was about a wealthy ditto being killed over kinky sex.
Example: SVU easily 'went the way of all flesh', so to speak. I remember one episode that, to my mind, involved implied child sex. The character and the actress were under age. Way under. Another crime show once paid a big fine over an orgy scene whose characters were under age, although the actors weren't. That depiction does violate the law. Why not SVU?

Orcas and other animals have "behaviors", as you know. Doesn't include attacks of conscience. There's a reason for orca behavior, which I've forgotten.
Dolphins do the same with octopi. The reason is to break off the tentacles, which can and do 'grab' the dolphins' insides, fatally.

Finally, we close our sermon with a quote from Bro. Clemens. "Man is the only animal that blushes- or needs to."

FBI is famous for its profilers. Sworn and armed Special Agents. Ask one how many rounds he fires in a typical week on assignment.

you know, insanity? :^)

My fave joke for _that_ is from a stand-up comic ( I think, not sure where it came from, actually). It goes : " You are not insane if you talk to yourself, only if you answer in a different voice... "

From your earlier post - as I recall, there was a film from the 90's called "Kids" which depicted teen sex and copious amounts of drug use that came under a _lot_ of scrutiny when released. I never saw it but remember all the fuss. And hip-hop and rap have been likewise accused of glorifying violence and misogyny - while some/most? rappers say they are "keeping it real" as if they are auteurs documenting life in "the hood" and perhaps want to emulate a sort of audio version of " cinema verite " . Shrug. I like old-school rock-n-roll, '90's "grunge", lots of sixties groups and punk, new wave, and some more recent stuff. But classical chills me out the most - plus Enya - who's music always lowers my pulse rate by at least 10 bpm! :^) { It's really not fair to be talented *and* beautiful - there should be a law or something! }

the video story within it.

...politicians can't, because they must make you feel there's something wrong that must be corrected and only they can do it better than the person who is already in there. There's no such thing in a democracy where there's predominately a positive election theme. Who would get elected over an incumbent if they said everything was great and they'd do the same?

'matches real life'.

Except the subject line.
Man's government CANNOT change human hearts. There is one that can, and every Christian should show allegiance to it, because it's set out by the one they believe represents the Great Governor- or IS that governor. _Either way._
Mt 6:9,10; 24:14.

Your belief of Christ reign on Earth would be a government. I never said government of men can be perfect, nor could it correct everything that may be wrong in man's heart. Not even God, due to granting us free will can do that. Government does have the promise that if they follow the things God has endorsed for earthly governments, he will help heal a nation.

Anyone that wants one, but seriously ....
