    First word that comes to mind when thinking about this movie (and much of Tarantino movies after Kill Bill) are disjointed and messy. You can still feel Tarantino but the movie as a whole as no continuity or coherence. The scenes with Brad Pitt in the caravan with his dog were pretty cool i reckon. Same for the actor scenes with Leonardo. But the weird incoherent plot and the Bruce Lee scene honestly just broke the movie for me. I thought i completely lost faith in Tarantino , im not feeling at all Death Proof, Inglorious Basterds, Django or Once upon a time in Hollywood BUT then i watched Hateful 8 which i skipped and i really liked it. I thought it had great rhythm and intensity and it let me believe that he still has some movies in him. What i'll always admire in Tarantino no matter what i must say, is the tremendous passion and enthusiasm he has for movies. It is contagious and it is beautiful to witness.

    Watched this recently on Criterion Channel (highly recommend it for anyone in USA or Canada) A slow-burning claustrophobic existential tale. Probably the reason why Anakin is afraid of sand is because he watched this movie. I love japan cinema. Hard Eight was so good. Such an amazing character study. Subtle and brutal at the same time.

    The Messiah storyline influence politics a lot still to this day i think. Loads of people are still looking for a single external savior individual to fix everything and politicians surf on that myth a lot. Same for books and movies. How many movies with a single superman Christ like savior that fixes everything for the rest of the people? Marvel, Matrix, Star Wars etc etc Looks like an interesting book.

    Now i don't want to spark a big conversation about this and i know where you are coming from, i really do, religion can be extremely dogmatic and fucked, but i just want to mention that i have witnessed first hand some people basically being saved from suicide and/or depression, addiction and abuse by spiritual practice. Me included. (forms of meditation) Religion is what you make of it. Ive met some people that practice spirituality (first nation elders) that were very low profile about it and you don't really hear about it in the news or anywhere but were some of the most amazing and compassionate people you can meet. What i'm really getting at is that it can be for some a quite powerful introspective and transforming tool to be a better person and have greater happiness and peace of mind for some people. Of course it can be also be a force that feeds into prejudice, ignorance, dogma or violence but it is not always the case. It is what you make of it like pretty much anything. I also think humans are capable of the worse as well as of the best. For every Hitler there is a Beethoven. There is danger in calling human beings worthless. You can start basically not give a fuck about other people well being because you think they are not worth much and become quite a bit misanthropic and nihilistic. I think it's very important, in the face of all that is evil in man, not to ever forget the good or else everything is despair and despair never helped anyone. Again, i don't want to spark a big conversation about this, i'm not looking into changing your mind or convince you but just putting it out there that there is indeed some people that can take something positive from various religious or spiritual practices or teachings.

    A cool thing to do to learn some humility is to take an advanced or expert level textbook on any scientific subject and see how little you know about it.

    At the end of the day im not a scientist nor an expert and as i view things it comes down the fact that if you catch covid there is: risk of death+ short+mid+long terms effects, this is proven and observable and that the vaccine had trials and was deemed safe and that the vast majority of the worry is speculation. Between the two i choose taking the vaccine because covid has actual and many observable negative effects. It seems to me to be way less of a gamble. As someone with no scientific training that's all how i view things and i trust in the good faith of the health scientific community.

    Hey you do you. For me, anyone lying on their credentials is a big ass red flag in any domain.

    Oh by the way. The guy seems like he's seeking attention and lying from the straight go as being the best expert and inventor to get it. : https://www.logically.ai/factchecks/library/3aa2eefd (with references links) It is Dr. Katalin Karikó and her collaborator Dr. Drew Weissman who are more commonly credited with laying the groundwork for mRNA vaccines. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, "mRNA vaccines teach our cells how to make a protein—or even just a piece of a protein—that triggers an immune response inside our bodies." mRNA vaccines are a new sort of vaccine; the COVID-19 vaccines from Pfizer/BioNTech and Moderna were the first. On his personal website, Twitter, and LinkedIn, Dr. Robert Malone has been promoting himself as the inventor of mRNA vaccines. This is misleading. In 1989, Malone published a paper titled "Cationic liposome-mediated RNA transfection." While this paper is an example of his important contribution to the then-emerging field, it does not make him the inventor of mRNA vaccines. According to Stat News, "for decades, scientists have dreamed about the seemingly endless possibilities of custom-made messenger RNA or mRNA." According to the New York Times, "For her entire career, Dr. Kariko has focused on messenger RNA, or mRNA — the genetic script that carries DNA instructions to each cell’s protein-making machinery. She was convinced mRNA could be used to instruct cells to make their own medicines, including vaccines." While Malone's research may have been important, scientific breakthroughs don't always boast a sole "inventor." Instead, they come about through the work of many. The COVID-19 pandemic has given rise to a lot of potentially dangerous misinformation. For reliable advice on COVID-19, including symptoms, prevention, and available treatment, please refer to the World Health Organization or your national healthcare authority.

    The vaccine works and most people dying right now over here are unvaccinated people. Being unvaccinated and working in health is extremely irresponsible. If i was a cancer patient or vulnerable patient i would be quite pissed at people like my mom. Whatever progress we have made is in great part due to vaccine. I repeat once again what the hell the you propose instead of vaccines??? https://www.reuters.com/article/factcheck-vaccine-cytotoxic-idUSL2N2O01XP

    My mom works in health and successfully got convinced by anti-vaxx and anti big pharma rhetoric to not get the vaccine, she never has been anti-vaxx before but yeah... im like ''mom pleaaaase uuugh'' ''they're corrupted'' ''too much money involved, something is fishy'' ''guiney pig, experimental vaccine'' etc. etc. SMH. Makes me quite worried she might get it eventually and/or give it to vulnerable patients. Fucking anti-vaxx BS is spreading everywhere.

    The whole humanity is addicted to fossil fuel and technological utopia and we're still in denial stage acting like we don't have a problem. But you know, humans have been through lots of various shit through out history, i think we'll figure it out, but we will probably have to hit a few serious walls before cause humans like to learn the hard way.

    I think we're gonna see some wild shit in our lifetimes. Next 100 years will be something.
