Great film even ignoring the single take aspect, that feature just elevates it further.

There is a word for that though, bigot. Racism is effectively a subclass of bigotry that is more specific. If we have a word for it already we should use that instead.

True she didn't have to be there but we were shown her picking the first fruit from the tree and then it cuts to the escape with the wives. Regardless of the tree though, the age difference explains the necessary time jump from Furiosa killing/catching Dementus to Furiosa making the Fury Road run.

I've been to a few countries and grew up in a third world country. I have never seen a wealth divide as massive and as blatantly on display as I did in India.

Asus zen phone had received great reviews. You can use it as stock Android or with Asus' slight customizations. It's on the smaller side but it's a good price.

Tunefind.com is also a pretty good resource.

Resolution (1080, 1440, etc) will be critical for your high and 60fps qualifier. Is RTX a deal breaker for you? Are you looking to produce content (or edits videos, 3d rendering, stable diffusion, etc)?

Without knowing any of that I can still identify CPU, ram, and GPU you listed are overkill for gaming purposes.

Edit: Gamers Nexus YouTube and Website is a great for getting rundown of current gen hardware and their capabilities. They typically give really good recommendations based on value instead of just raw performance.

I'll also add that spending habit data is very valuable in terms of advertisement. We are in the age of very targetted advertisement. Just a random example: *user14555* on our T-Mobile app eats at a restaurant for lunch every Thursday. Have the app pop-up with a coupon from one of our participating restaurants on Thursday morning.

Restaurant will pay or give exclusive coupons to T-Mobile in exchange for these benefits. T-Mobile then hopes to entice more users by listing their app and "exclusive coupons" as unique benefit to using them as a cellphone provider. All the major providers have more or less settled at similar prices for cellphone plans so they lean on these extras as marketing tools.

I appreciate your review but couldn't disagree more. At a certain point it was just noise and movement with no sense of risk or stakes. There were very few scenes that the choreography was actually unique and engaging, the rest just felt like judo throw, shoot or stab, repeat ad nauseum. The movie peaked with the Osaka scene and was downhill from that point forward. A shorter run time would have done the movie wonders as I wouldn't have been bored by the time we got to the third act. The stair scene (x2) in the third act guaranteed I won't be watching any future additions to the movie in theaters. But hey to each their own, lots of people enjoyed it enough to where another one being produced is very likely.

Completely agree. For every tool we have created to accomplish great things, we have without fail also used it for dumb things at best and completely evil things at worst.

Hilarious. I don't see any of the big companies doing anything to fix this issue anytime soon.

It's mind boggling that the victim writing all of this is still delusional about Amazon making a change based on this incident. From listening to what Louise read it doesn't even seem like the victim is fully set on removing echo/Amazon, just "strongly considering it". At this point they deserve every bit of headache and misfortune that comes from continuing to deal with Amazon.
