In this country you can't be forced to testify - yes, that's correct.
It just strikes me as a bit odd, that's all.
Like she's got something to hide ...
ghislaine maxwell is on trial for grooming underage girls for sex and joining in, apparently.. her defence has recently finished, with maxwell declining to take the stand herself because she, in her words, 'doesn't need to as the prosecution haven't proved their case beyond reasonable doubt'.. that's for the jury to decide, ghislaine, lol.
.
doesn't it strike you as arrogant that she can't be arsed to stand up and speak in her own defence?.

if you think it works, what is your evidence outside of possible coincidence?.
I haven't seen any evidence that prayer does anything concrete.
However, if it puts religious people's minds at rest, or somehow makes them feel better, then prayer could have a benefit basically identical to a placebo.
well, i'm spoilt for choice for the seventies!.
so many good movies.
i own a few more films from this decade - 41 to be exact.. so many great films came out in this decade .... the godfather (1972).
And no trilogy or beyond has ever held up or gotten better - yes, this is true.
However, one film stands out to me - the 7th film of the Nightmare on Elm Street franchise - Wes Craven's New Nightmare (1994). That film's very good. Wes Craven was way ahead of his time - that film was meta before meta became trendy.
i don't think that it's too early to start this thread so .
merry christmas everyone.
maybe people could share christmas music or clips to get us all in the mood.
BTW, this is how you say Jesus and Merry Christmas in Arabic ...

ss this is the era that spawned “the sequel” which has essentially ruined modern movies - yes it is, and your comments are pretty much spot on.
The trend is for the first film in a franchise to be excellent, then the quality gets worse and worse the more sequels film studios crap out.
But I don't like to think that sequels ruined the original movies - however lame the ewoks are, or however silly Rocky 4 is, the original films in those two franchises are still great.
And let's not forget the first sequel in the Star Wars franchise - The Empire Strikes Back. That film was even better than the first, IMO.

A Clockwork Orange - 1971 - yeah, that film's awesome.
I guess Quadrophenia is good, too - I've never seen it, but would like to.

The Godfather (1972)
The Exorcist (1973)
The Godfather Part 2 (1974)
Jaws (1975)
One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest (1975)
Rocky (1976)
Taxi Driver (1976)
A New Hope (1977)
Halloween (1978)
Alien (1979)
Jaws was the first summer blockbuster, and A New Hope pushed the boundaries of special FX, most of which still hold up today, 44 years later.
One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest is so good I saw it twice as a 12-year old, knowing that I'd wake up tired for school the next morning, lol. I didn't care.
One of my favorite films ever is Rocky - the film's a masterpiece, IMO. It's so gritty, with the main character so relatable and likeable. The supporting cast is also very good.
It comes across as real people living real lives.
there is a trial currently starting - even funnier than the baldwin nonsense.. yes, everyone's favorite actor, singer and hate crime victim is going on trial.. i am, of course, talking about jussie smollett.
he's going on trial for lying to chicago police and wasting their time.. he's obviously as guilty as hell, but i just can't wait for this to unfold.. it's gonna be hilarious ....
Excellent news!
Throw him in jail for a couple of years.
He thoroughly deserves it.
