Episode forty of this show about the Ottomans, and finally the titular character’s mother suggests that there might just be a solution to his dilemma over which of the girls madly in love with him he should marry.
I don't get how Moonfall is a movie. Isn't it just "extinction event, everything dies in 20 minutes"?
Also if the moon is going to do stuff they should go the Deadspace 3 way.
A mysterious force knocks the Moon from its orbit around Earth and sends it hurtling on a collision course with life as we know it. With mere weeks before impact and the world on the brink of annihilation, NASA executive and former astronaut Jo Fowler (Halle Berry) is convinced she has the key to saving us all – but only one astronaut from her past, Brian Harper (Patrick Wilson) and conspiracy theorist K.C. Houseman (John Bradley) believe her. These unlikely heroes will mount an impossible last-ditch mission into space, leaving behind everyone they love, only to find out that our Moon is not what we think it is.
now, trying to consider that the people who write these blurbs are the best in the world at making all plots sound fucking terrible, this still sounds like a pretty stupid movie

China bans less maculine men from appearing on TV.
Broadcasters must "resolutely put an end to sissy men and other abnormal esthetics," the TV regulator said, using an insulting slang term for effeminate men — "niang pao," or literally, "girlie guns."
That reflects official concern that Chinese pop stars, influenced by the sleek, girlish look of some South Korean and Japanese singers and actors, are failing to encourage China's young men to be masculine enough.
Broadcasters should avoid promoting "vulgar internet celebrities" and admiration of wealth and celebrity, the regulator said. Instead, programs should "vigorously promote excellent Chinese traditional culture, revolutionary culture and advanced socialist culture.

To each provincial, autonomous region, or directly governed municipality bureau for radio, television, and film; the Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps Bureau of Culture, Sports, Radio, Television, and Tourism; The general office of China Media Group, the Movie Channel Program Center, and China Education Station:
In recent years, radio and television and online audiovisual cultural programs persisted in upholding taste, style, and responsibility, and resisted catering to the vulgar and low-brow, to continuously put forward exception works and satisfy the public's spiritual and cultural needs. Notice on the following matters is hereby given in order to further strengthen management, to strictly correct artists; violations of law and morality, the madness of fandom, and other such issues; to take a clear stand in establishing an atmosphere of patriotism and morality in art:
I. Resolutely reject persons who violate laws and morality. Radio and television bodies, and online audiovisual platforms, are to take strict control of the selection of programs' performers and guests, and persist in having political literacy, moral conduct, artistic standards, and social appraisal as the criteria for selection. Adamantly reject persons with incorrect political positions and whose thoughts and values have diverged from the Party and state; adamantly reject persons who violate laws and regulations, and shake the baseline of social fairness and justice; and adamantly avoid persons who go against good public customs and whose speech and conduct is amoral and irregular.
II. Resolutely oppose 'traffic worship'. Radio and television bodies and online audiovisual platforms must not broadcast programs that cultivate idols, and must not broadcast variety and entertainment shows in which the children of celebrities participate. Talent show programs should strictly control the setup of the voting phase, and must not set up steps like off-site voting, hit lists, and assistance; and it is strictly prohibited to lead or encourage fans to indirectly spend money in voting through materialistic methods such as making purchases or membership charges; to resolutely resist negative fandom culture.
III. Resolutely resist turning everything into entertainment Persist in cultural self-confidence, forcefully carrying forward the exceptional culture of the Chinese people, revolutionary culture, and the advanced socialist culture; Set up the correct aesthetic direction for programs, taking strict control of the selection of performers and guests, performance styles, wardrobe and makeup, and so forth; to resolutely reject abnormal aesthetics such as 'girly men'. Resolutely resist the tendencies of over-entertainment such as hyping wealth and indulgence, private scandals, negative hot topics, vulgar 'online celebrity', and embracing ugliness without standards.
IV. Resolutely resist high-salaries. Strictly enforce provisions on compensation for performers and guests, and strictly implement the system of information pledges for salary management. Advocate and encourage performers and guests to take on social responsibility and participate in public interest programming. Strictly penalize illegal compensation, having yin-yang contracts (one on the books, one off], and tax evasion.
V. Truly Strengthen Management of Employees. Strictly implement hosts being credentialed to take their positions, regulate hosts' participation in social activities, and the publication of information online. Strengthen the cultivation of employees' political calibre, thoroughly carrying out education on the Marxist perspective of journalism and the arts, and continuously strengthen the people's position and adhere to the people's feelings. Improve regulation of professional ethics. strengthening the establishment of professional ethics and conscientiously rejecting the seduction of fame and wealth; professional identities and personal name recognition must not be used to seek improper benefits; conscientiously accept public oversight, become a model of social morality and a builder of positive energy.
VI. Carry out professional and authoritative artistic appraisals. Persist in the correct political orientation, public opinion guidance, value tendencies, promoting truth, goodness, and beauty; rebutting falsehood and ugliness, giving full play to the role of value guidance, spiritual guidance, and aesthetic enlightenment. Put social benefit and social values up front, unify profound thought, exquisite artistry, and excellent production, to appraise programming seriously and objectively. Rationally consider quantitive indexes like audience numbers and click rates and increase the extent and wide use of "Chinese Audiovisual Big Data".
VII. Give Full Play to the Role of Industry Organizations. Radio, television, and online audiovisual industry organizations and other social organizations should further improve industry regulations and self-discipline covenants, actively carrying out moral evaluations. Strengthen education and training on ideology, politics, and professional ethics; establish a normalized training system, optimize the educational content, strengthen teaching through cases, using cases to explain and demonstrate the law. Take a clear stance and criticize bad phenomena and negative models in the industry, resolutely oppose insider culture and bad industry habits, to preserve a positive atmosphere in the industry.
VIII. Truly perform management duties. Departments for the administration of radio and television should increase their political positions, earnestly implement responsibility systems for ideological work, further constrict management responsibility by territory, by host, and entity responsibility; and take control of cultural programs' orientation, content, personnel, compensation, and publicity. Pay attention to attentively listening to the people's voice, actively responding the people's concerns, and resolutely saying 'no' to illegality and immorality, star-making, making everything into entertainment, and 'traffic supremacy', so that the main themes and positive energy fill the space of radio, television, and online audiovisuals.
Traditional Chinese Culture and Socialist Culture feels like one of the peg and the hole has corners and the other doesn't.
Not just any socialist culture.
Advanced socialist culture.
Oh well that makes sense then.

I remember a Pacific Blue episode where there were people who shot themselves up with SUPER BLOOD and I don't know if they were aware or not but it turned out to be horse blood with like 100% ability to bind oxygen. But the blood was much thicker so they tended to die because the heart couldn't pump it for very long.
I haven't seen PB since the late 90's so it's a specific thing to remember.
I love Harryhausen more than I love members of my own family and this seems a trifle unfair. Emmerich's movies are almost all deeply stupid (though this doesn't mean they're all bad) and built backwards from one big, dumb idea. Harryhausen's stuff is fairy tales and myths bought to life. Harryhausen is like the disaster genre of the seventies rolled into one guy.
I don't think Harryhausen really has a modern equivalent. Maybe Henry Selick?

Best movie about an accountant Ive ever seen
The Untouchables?
Although I guess he was more in the background
Netflix keeps pushing it and three similarly named films at me. Which one is the accountant?
What do I look like? Someone who mamages financials for a living?
Haven't seen but Im not sure what it could offer to expand my knowledge of accounting practices.
It's the one with Ben Affleck
Not just any socialist culture.
