  • Much of the organized crime families in the US went into legit businesses and politics after the old ways of extortion, smuggling, and robberies were no longer as profitable and gained too much notoriety. Capone was just the most notable and almost got away with it. He was made an example of once the government managed to find SOMETHING he's irrefutably guilty of.

  • Its a trend chaser, imo.

    ✅️4-5 wacky characters

    ✅️action montage with fun music

    ✅️colorful explosions.

    ✅️rebellious teenager

    ✅️starring 4 names everyone knows

    All tropes of previous movies that did well, but only the writing will save a movie this late to the game.

    The original writer left and demanded his name be taken off the credits after they changed things. Avi Arad involved.

    Not looking good.

  • McDonald's is an anomaly amongst fast food in my opinion.

    All fast food is trash, but I have the exact same greasy, salty, mediocre experience with McDonald's every single time. No other chain has the same consistency between different locations. Its just a safe option every time.

  • At the North Hollywood Bank Shootout (or North Hollywood Bank Robbery) SWAT showed up with tactical gear and short shorts because two guys with AKs and bullet proof armor opened fire at a Bank of America. SWAT dropped what they were doing (I think they were exercising?), grabbed their tactical gear and guns and showed up for a fight.

    Its not the same as somebody alleging that there is a terrorist bombing threat or a planned assassination, but they have to maintain that readiness just in case that it IS real.

  • Because of the huge threat that is faked, SWAT Teams MUST respond.

    These assholes usually tell police that the victim's location has a terrorist threat or someone is planning to assassinate politicians via anonymous call systems that were put in place to protect witnesses to actual crimes. It wastes police resources, makes actual threats seem fake, and puts the lives of everyone involved in a raid in danger.

    Its like a twisted form of the Boy Who Cried "Wolf!" But the boy calls the someone else a wolf and the villagers who show up have guns and a history of shooting everybody's dog

  • I agree with you, the Ottomans were a source of stability and were generally failing by WW1. I believe the drawing of the new borders while ignoring cultures and histories of the people left in the former Ottoman Empire is also a huge source of instability.
