SympathysSilhouette

Emilie Dequenne's first big budget French film at the time as well. The brothel scenes with Monica are very sexy!

Yeah she looks absolutely fantastic there. The one thing I consider in not trying to be too critical is that it was perhaps a health issue. Like if she had to get it because of back pain or something like that. I hope it is something like that and not that she simply became tired of being known as the blonde model with the big boobs.

Even Memphis Belle which is a lot more recent than Battle of Britain looks quite a bit better than the Masters of the Air trailer. The big problem is that they don't even try any more to capture any of this stuff in camera. Just all CGI, all the time.

The CGI of the aerial combat looks shit.

I would say the one breast reduction that threw me was Charlotte McKinney. I guess she did it for health reasons but you so associated her look with having a large chest that all subsequent shots I saw of her felt weird somehow. For whatever reason, none of the girls who got rid of implants ever bothered me to that degree.

Bella lost her Dior contract over her pro-Palestinian activism? There are lots of rumors about this online but I haven't found one good source confirming it.

The sape of her face reminds me a bit of Tricia Helfer.

Is her costume "Corpse Bride but with a dump truck ass"? 😀

Didn't she claim it's not meant to be Eve? I think she is meant to be referencing this Shakira album cover:

What kind of comments did she make? I'm curious! And what did your friend say about her behavior?

What did she say or do?

In my experience, companies that eventually find out it does not work react in one or two ways. Some get rid of some management level staff, usually by reorganizing so they can make an entire level of authority obsolete. Others double down with what I would call the "one more lane fallacy". Like a city trying to fix their traffic jams by repeatedly adding lanes to their highways, these companies think they can solve their inefficiency problems by adding another layer of management. I know of one place which already had three layers between the IT manager and the lowest L1 helpdesk grunts. And after an HR audit they actually added a fourth level in the form of team leaders. Then what the fuck were the guys and girls doing those helpdesk grunts were reporting to before that?

WTF? How did he get such a light sentence? Also I thought most of the 2015 attack guys were dead? Isn't that why the one guy who was caught in Belgium was one of the few who ever got to a court case in France?

I think the ground invasion if it happens will be limited in scope. I don't believe they will be sending many 10Ks of reservists in there. I don't believe Bibi has the stomach for a conflict that might cost them many men. Far more likely is that they keep on bombing Gaza into oblivion, even if it means killing most of the 1+ million children stuck there.

Right but I have seen many MAGA style accounts suddenly argue the isolationist stance for Israel as well. Whilst I don't necessarily agree, it is a far more internally consistent position to oppose U.S. involvement in both Ukraine and Israel than to say that non-intervention should be the norm except for Israel.

It's interesting, the situation in Israel seems to have the Ukraine non-interventionists divided. Half of them argue that what is true about Ukraine is also true about Israel: it's not America's problem. The other half are very mad at this. Whilst their new nemesis are pointing out the inconsistency of their position. I kind of agree. I mean, I don't agree with the non-interventionist position for the U.S. (I would argue that there are conflicts it is in their interest to get involved in), but I can see how it is a valid POV for an American. It is however internally inconsistent to argue non-interventionism for one conflict but not for another. You can't have some sort of cafeteria non-interventionism. "America First! Except for X, Y & Z" is not any sort of real non-interventionism/isolationism.

I still quite enjoy living in Eurostan.

Musk is not alone in thinking that the overabundance in MBA degrees is ridiculous. The real question is, who created the positions that mean that so many such graduates can find jobs? What is definitely true is that those guys (and girls) are overpaid in general. What I have found after twenty years of experience is that almost any decently sized company or organization will have far too many middle-management roles. Most companies could weed out over half of those out and it wouldn't make any real difference to their productivity and it would save them a bundle in wages.

There were no great actors before roughly the 1970s?

That's my favorite party too! Unfortunately haven't been able to play much this past week.

The book is very good, read it a couple of years ago, very much worth your time if you are interested in the story.
