I love these movies; could you recommend based on it?

35 character requirement for a title is just stupid btw

I feel movies these days have deteriorated in quality from the amazing movies that came out in the 80s, 90s, 2000s and even some from the early 2010s

Or maybe I just don’t watch as many movies as I used to

So for those of you who do, could you please recommend me a good film or two based on my taste

These are some of my favorite movies:

  1. Terminator

  2. Inception

  3. Shutter Island

  4. Dark Knight

  5. The Matrix

  6. The 13th Floor

  7. Phone Booth

  8. Arrival (2016)

  9. The Departed

  10. The Prestige

AOT Season 4 Still Sucks

I’m on Episode 86 “Retrospective”

The music is HORRIBLE

Who the hell wants to listen to heavy metal?

Soundtrack has always been terrible with this series but now they have a heavy metal opening theme 🤮

Annoying and useless characters (Gabi and Falco)

Dramatizing scenes that don’t need to be, like Conny killing Samuel and Daz

Eren isn’t getting any airtime.

The Rumbling isn’t exciting, it’s boring. So far all we see are a bunch of Titans occasionally moving in some direction 🥱

Star Trek: Mutiny!

I came up with an idea for a new Star Trek series. I hope you guys like it. If not that’s okay too, and criticize it

Picture this: Starfleet has dispatched the largest and most powerful starship yet. It’s on a deep space mission, and has reached an area in the Alpha Quadrant where the Federation is virtually absent

The ship is carrying a large number of civilian passengers and their families (similar to TNG) but also delegations from non Federation worlds and species. Although it is a starship it is also like a space station due to sheer size, so similar to DS9

There is a dispute between the Captain and his Executive Officer over some decision of the Captain which he feels is dangerous or unethical.

The Executive Officer has more support among the senior crew, and manages to take control of the Engineering section, while the Captain and his loyalists maintain control over navigation but also weapons. This effectively means the ship is paralyzed and can’t go anywhere for the time being, at least not with warp speed.

A nemesis of the Federation, could be either an entirely new species or else the Romulans, Dominion, Borg or whoever, are also covertly involved in the mutiny via undercover agents, and are communicating with at least one senior officer on the side of the mutineers.

But they are unable to attack the ship head on because it is too powerful and weapons are still under control by the Captain.

Meanwhile, on board the ship, there are a lot of politics going on. Both sides are negotiating, and Starfleet through some admirals are communicating with both sides through subspace, trying to resolve the situation.
Both sides have spies and undercover agents and are struggling against each other to take full control of the ship

Better Design for the Xindi Reptilians

Xindi Reptilians should have looked something like this.

Otherwise, a Reptilian race looking like this would be awesome as one of the major species in Star Trek lore, up there with Klingons, Vulcans, Cardassians and Romulans

Temporal Cold War

Enterprise is an underrated series
Although it’s one of my favorites, I actually haven’t even watched most of its episodes
This is unlike TNG, DS9 and Voyager in which I have rewatched some of their episodes several times
That’s because only the Temporal Cold War interested me when it came to Enterprise. I deliberately chose to ignore all other episodes, except for the final episode where Will Riker makes an appearance.

Enterprise should have been entirely devoted to the Temporal Cold War, just as DS9 became entirely about the Dominion War Season 3 onwards.

The benefactor of the Suliban, “Future Guy” was extremely fascinating for me. The whole idea of communicating through time is not only more believable than actual time travel, it is ironically more intriguing—perhaps precisely because it seems more plausible. Time travel just seems more like fantasy than sci-fi

Star Trek’s worst moments are when it drowns in the realm of fantasy detached from science

Anyways, Future Guy was not featured enough on Enterprise for my taste. He should have been more recurring and his identity should have been revealed.

The Xindi Arc was quite good, but not the best. The Sphere Builders were not as interesting as Future Guy

The Vosk arc was decent but not great

After that the Temporal Cold War was simply ended as far as Enterprise is concerned which was a damn shame

Season 4 is Underwhelming

Im on episode 81 “Thaw”
I still have a way to go before I complete the entire series

So far I’m not impressed

And it’s really a challenge to complete each episode, I find myself getting so bored. It’s not even the slow pace. I would actually enjoy a slow paced series if it was at least interesting

So far season 4 has been underwhelming. Season 3 was actually better

And you can tell AOT is sloppy writing:

  1. the internment zone with the mandatory armbands for Eldians is total copy paste of the historical Warsaw Ghetto for Jews and their required armbands displaying the Star of David during Nazi occupation of Poland. Foolish writers couldn’t come up with anything original.

  2. Eren deciding to transform into a titan and attack the conference featuring delegates from across the world as they watched a performance by Tybur was sloppy and stupid. How is it strategic to provoke the entire world, which would only force them to close ranks with Marley and initiate an attack on Paradise Island? Wouldn’t it be more strategic to fight Marley isolated from the rest of the world, defeat them first then proceed to fight the others to ensure victory if that’s the goal?

  3. The “euthanization” plan. This one is so stupid. Firstly, euthanization isn’t even the right word. How stupid were the people responsible for the English dub!
    Euthanize is to put someone to death in a painless way. The plan is to sterilize the subjects of Ymir so that they can’t have children. That’s not called euthanization it’s called sterilization 🤦‍♂️
    Secondly, there is no logical reason for Zeke being so passionate about this project. There just isn’t. Poor writing again

  4. The endless flashbacks. Long and dull. Entire episodes are devoted to being some flashback. If we have to endure a flashback at least make it interesting.

Now I’m at the point in the series where the Rumbling has begun. It’s still boring. There still hasn’t been any mind blowing plot twist. I really don’t get why this series is so hyped

Why so many Tajiks looks Turkic?

Tajiks are supposed to be East Iranic population. Some of them like Ahmad Shah Massoud (Sher-e-Panjsher) do look Iranic.

But most of them seem to be Turkic, especially with the epicanthic folds.

Emomali Rahmon looks like a typical Turk

As did the famous Habibullah Kalakani (whom I respect btw)

Am I Aryan?

Im Hyderabadi Muslim ethnically on my dad’s side. I think that is why a fifth of my DNA is South Indian (Dravidian?)

How can I be more certain that my ancestors were mostly Aryans that migrated into India from the Steppes, and not the people of IVC (Harappans)

I would rather be Aryan than Harappan, Dravidian, or any kind of indigenous/Adivasi ancestry

Aryan is more glorious and masculine

Also, I am glad that I don’t have even a trace amount of African, East Asian, or European DNA

This way I can say I am racially pure and encourage my children not to race mix either

Once you race mix you basically flushed thousands of years of ancestral heritage down the toilet

Agree or no?

When Aryans Roamed the Steppes

I had AI produce this historically accurate depiction of the ancient proto Indo Aryans when they roamed the Steppes thousands of years ago

Often you see images of the Buddha with a man-bun. That was a remnant of the tradition of his Aryan ancestors who probably tied their long hair like that

Siddhartha Gautama was an Aryan of the Shakya clan, who lived in modern day Nepal—part of the Himalayan region

Even the region of Xinjiang (Tarim Basin) now home to the Uyghur Turks was previously populated by Tocharians who were Aryans

Sadly, the Uyghur Turks exterminated them through displacement and miscegenation

Why Black Culture Doesn’t Stigmatize Having Out of Wedlock Children?

About 75% of Blacks in America are born out of wedlock

This statistic shocks me

I believe the dysfunction in the Black community is caused by their culture, and not systemic racism or White supremacy

I do not believe there is such a thing as systemic racism or White supremacy in America

I basically agree with the narrative of Charlie Kirk and before him of Ben Shapiro and Dinesh D’Souza when it comes to the cause of dysfunction in the Black community
