Hamas were the ones who attacked Israel. And why? Because Israel was reaching peace with Saudi Arabia. They didn't just attack Israel, didn't just break the peace, but attacked the idea of peace itself. Very slanted headline. Twelve students walked out and around 250 stayed to listen and laugh. A dozen nutjobs with a need for attention. This didn't even qualify as news, certainly undeserving of the big hype it has received. "It's not that bad" is not much of a recommendation. I prefer watching things that are actually good, myself. How historically accurate this this movie? Plus, how about the Tibetans who set themselves afire. Felt that in the course of the series Brianna developed into one of the more distinctive and memorable characters that TV has ever offered. Probably based on one of lyrics such as "YESterday" or "She loves me, yeah yeah yeah...". Probably based on one of lyrics such as "YESterday" or "She loves me, yeah yeah yeah...". Yep, he knows what works by now. Didn't she have the same hair for seven seasons on <i>Northern Exposure</i> though? What is that? Ever hear of anyone being "hurt good"? She didn't come off very well in the book by Edward Zwick. When slated to appear in <i>Shakespeare in Love,</i> insisted on Daniel Day Lewis as co-star, even though he had refused due to a commitment to make In the Line of Fire. Even set up meetings with the director when it was obvious the idea was a no-go. Then didn't do her homework in terms of learning the period accent and finally just up and quit the movie, upon which the funding disappeared also. Interesting. Not sure if it explains it, but "Cincinnati" is named for the ancient Roman leader "Cincinnatus", which is really a commemoration of George Washington since he was called "the American Cincinnatus". "Cincinnato" is what "Cincinnatus" became in Italy when they switched from Latin to Italian. hahaha -- good naming! >Hilinghead seemed to have familiarity towards Ashe, and the same regarding Whiteman towards Esther. Not sure what was up with that, tho. I don't think Hillinghead knew him. He just saw a good looking guy and was attracted. Whiteman and the girl probably recognized one another as Jewish and so had some mutual empathy. >Regarding the ending scene: Was Maplewood in the taxi because she still has access to The Throat in 2053 and still knows about something that is unresolved? I sure don't have a effing clue. No, because the spyne doesn't transport through the time machine. Her cop job was because of Mannix. Now there's no Mannix so she couldn't or didn't get a cop job and became a cabbie instead. Somehow when Defoe went in he turned into separate beings that each got transported to different times. Perhaps as the other person said, the bullet disrupted the process. *sigh*, time travel shows always have these kinds of problems. Probably... only the gay one seemed improbable though... Interesting. Yep, 8 is the number I came up with also. I don't get comments like "To the extent that Challengers works, it’s due almost entirely to the acting of the lead trio. Put three lesser-talented performers in these roles and the movie would be on the fast track to a direct-to-streaming release and Amazon Prime obscurity." That the acting is good is a <b>good thing.</b> No need to write it as a complaint. So many films have poor acting.
