@EA @Battlefield To Whomever This Might Concern, Due to the statement posted on Bluesky by Brian J. Audette, I will no longer be purchasing Battlefield 6 until one of the two following occurs: 1. Brian J. Audette publicly apologizes (social media video.) AND Or 2. Brian J. Audette is terminated from employment with Electronic Arts, Battlefield Studios, or whichever development company he's employed through. Also, it appears the Battlefield publishing or development team is censoring consumers or anyone else regarding the Charlie Kirk assassination. It is for this reason that I will never purchase another EA game. I was really excited to play Battlefield 6. I know you all worked hard on it, and I couldn't wait to build new friendships through it, as well as strengthen old friendships. I began playing Battlefield around 2004, with Battlefield: Vietnam, and then in 2005, with Battlefield 2. After about a decade of playing Battlefield games, this is where I stop purchasing anymore of those games. I'll continue to play the older games though. I just don't understand why you can't remain unbiased and focus on your job, which is creating the video games, and leave politics out. @Activision @CallofDuty Call of Duty games were also games I was excited for when they would release a new title. They have completely destroyed the title through repetitive multiplayer and recycled maps, and worst of all, micro-transactions and the woke vision. Battlefield began doing the same in recent years. It is a shame both @Battlefield and @CallofDuty have forgotten where they had come from those years ago. Maybe one day, things will change, but I cannot continue to support any Battlefield or Call of Duty. Thank you for your time regarding this matter. Thank you for the entertainment and fun my friends and I had in the past years. 🤝 Sincerely and respectfully, Red

Stanley Kubrick demanded 70 takes from actors. He let this medically discharged Marine improvise. In 1985, R. Lee Ermey stood on a film set in England with nothing but memories and a voice that could cut through steel. He was not supposed to be there. Not as an actor, anyway. Stanley Kubrick had hired him as a technical advisor for Full Metal Jacket. The role of Gunnery Sergeant Hartman was already cast with a trained professional. Ermey's job was to teach actors how drill instructors actually behaved. But Ermey had spent years watching Hollywood get it wrong. He approached Kubrick with a request that bordered on audacity. "Let me show you what a real drill instructor sounds like." Kubrick was skeptical. This was a director who shot scenes 40, 50, sometimes 70 times until they were perfect. He controlled every word. Every gesture. Every breath. But he agreed to watch. Ermey positioned actors in formation. The cameras rolled. And he began screaming. For two hours, he unleashed a torrent of creative, devastating verbal assault. Stagehands pelted him with tennis balls and oranges to simulate chaos. He never flinched. Never broke rhythm. Never repeated himself. Because he wasn't acting. He was remembering. Ronald Lee Ermey had enlisted in the Marines at seventeen after a Kansas judge gave him a choice: jail or the military. He chose the Corps. From 1965 to 1967, he served as a drill instructor at Marine Corps Recruit Depot San Diego, breaking down civilians and rebuilding them as Marines. In 1968, he deployed to Vietnam for fourteen months. Then injuries ended his career. Medical discharge. Twenty-seven years old. No college degree. No plan. He drifted to the Philippines, enrolled in university using his GI Bill, and stumbled into film work as a technical advisor. Small roles followed. A helicopter pilot in Apocalypse Now. A drill instructor in The Boys in Company C. But nothing that changed his life. Until Kubrick watched those tapes. The director saw something no acting class could manufacture: authenticity so complete it became art. Ermey had produced 150 pages of original insults. His intensity never wavered. His knowledge was absolute. Kubrick made a decision almost unheard of in his career. He fired the original actor. He gave Ermey the role. And he allowed him to improvise more than half of his own dialogue. Stanley Kubrick, the perfectionist who demanded endless takes from every performer, needed only two or three takes from a former drill instructor with no formal training. Because you cannot fake what is real. When Full Metal Jacket premiered in 1987, Ermey's performance became instantly iconic. Real drill instructors said it was the most accurate portrayal ever filmed. Veterans said it triggered memories they had buried for decades. Ermey earned a Golden Globe nomination. He went on to appear in over sixty films. He voiced Sarge in Toy Story. He hosted military programs on the History Channel. But he never forgot his brothers and sisters in uniform. In 2002, the Marine Corps awarded him an honorary promotion to Gunnery Sergeant, making him the only retiree in Corps history to receive that recognition. He spent years visiting troops overseas, supporting veterans, and keeping the military spirit alive. R. Lee Ermey passed away on April 15, 2018. The Marine Corps called him a great American and an even greater Marine. Think about that journey. A troubled teenager from Kansas. A drill instructor. A combat veteran. A medical discharge. Odd jobs in foreign countries. And then, at forty-three, convincing one of cinema's most demanding directors to trust him with creative freedom. He did not succeed because he pretended to be something he wasn't. He succeeded because he refused to be anything else. That is not a Hollywood story. That is a Marine who improvised, adapted, and overcame, all the way to immortality.

People ask me all the time if I miss playing with Timmy Tenders. I mean... you tell me.

Mike Myers has returned as Dr. Evil for a new Verizon commercial.

That's a wrap on The Resurrection of the Christ — Mel Gibson's long-awaited sequel to The Passion of the Christ. After a massive 134-day shoot across Italy, director Mel Gibson took a microphone on set to personally thank the cast and crew for completing principal photography on the film, which has been over 20 years in development. The audio captured him saying: "Since I'm all yours here and I've got a microphone... I just want to tell you all thank you so much for all your efforts, your support, your sacrifice, your love, the encouragements all through, the prayers and intercessions, thank you all for everything great and everything “small”, in the end it was all worth it. Now it’s time to make sure the Lord gets glorified in all of this."

Perhaps Elon Musk's best response I've ever heard. He is asked why Charlie Kirk was killed

FTP: LAPD killed her dog. He was wearing his Knicks jersey. His name was Jameson. A golden doodle. One of the sweetest, most gentle breeds alive. A neighbor called a noise complaint. That's it. 20 officers showed up. Then a helicopter. For a noise complaint in an apartment complex. And they shot Jameson dead. In front of his owner. In front of her child. No warning. No de-escalation. Nothing. The media is barely covering this. No headlines. No outrage. Like it never happened. If this was your dog... your child watching... how would you feel? Jameson deserved better. That little boy deserved better. His mama deserved better.

Do we have any 1987 fans here?

🚨 Los Angeles woman says she was OFFERED MONEY TO VOTE They provided her a ballot, told her who to vote for and wanted her fill out the ballot with the information they gave her “He pulled out his phone and he said, do you got nice penmanship? Well, yeah, why? Okay, here's the names. What I want you to do is write this name on this form and then sign the signature and I'll pay you — I said, I'm not doing that — He was trying to pay me to do voter fraud” Democrats have a highly sophisticated worker of people who go out and pay people to vote Democrat We need a federal audit of California’s election immediately

Is self-defense just about cunning? The tactics are too elaborate…

Every time I see a post talking about how bad the RE1 remake is or the original games are compared to the Demakes because of controls, I think of this post.

Excellent service.
