"The Matrix" with Will Smith and Madonna as Neo & Trinity would be quite another movie, if not the peak trash (both of them were offered the roles but they refused them).
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

Oh, I dunno. Smith is a better actor than Reeves and Madonna’s at least as good as Moss. Might be ok. I mean, it’s not as if the Matrix films require Olivier-level acting.

Someone working on the subtitles for an English show misheard "upstairs" for "obstacles." Must be the accent.

An interesting aspect of my job is that I only ever seem to have issues with the entitled white residents.

That certain people in positions of power maintain a dangerous distance from their humanity is a guarantee that everyone else will suffer.

Nice! I'm wondering what they do regarding the coin flip at a football game if the coin lands on a snow covered part of the field such that it's impossible to determine whether it landed heads or tails.
