The normal length of compulsory service is currently two years and eight months for men (with some roles requiring an additional four months of service), and two years for women.
I loved Lynda Carter when I was a boy! but AFAIK the military service is mandatory for women, too, in Israel... one of our members could eventually confirm that!
It seems the star of the movie was a bit of a wonder woman in real life: "Gal Gadot was born and raised in Rosh HaAyin, Israel. .. served for two years as an enlisted soldier in the Israel Defense Forces .. She says of her time as a soldier: "You learn discipline and respect. .. [Fast And Furious] director Justin Lin really liked that I was in the military, and he wanted to use my knowledge of weapons." Yeah ... but can she do this: https://m.popkey.co/9c0f31/DYyLq_s-200x150.gif ?
Haven't seen it. I only know the name of "Kevin Smith" (never met him but he always popped up here & there on the Internet) from his "Clerks" movie/short (haven't seen it, but I have seen someone else's "Troops" -- a "Cops" parody [excellent!] in the Star Wars universe).
Tusk (2014) -- rottentomatoes.com's TomatoMeter is at 41% -- "Tusk is pleasantly ridiculous and charmingly self-deprecating, but that isn't enough to compensate for its thin, overstretched story."
I did see another suggested meaning ... in Arabic ... "I will stand up". Different than the Aramaic translation but fitting nonetheless considering average Americans did more research to find it's meaning than the media did. LOL
Hmm. Much radio/TV talk about this "Trump covfefe". Any relation to "the burglar of Bamff-ff-ff" (must be pronoinced in your finest F-Troop Agarn/Pierre accent) ?
COVFEFE translated in ancient ARAMEAN means "APOCALYPSE" (which in Greek means revealing, I believe) yet everyone seems to think Trump is off his rocker over this. LOL
Not sure I asked this before, but I'm still looking for an audio rip of Dirty Harry Laserdisc that would include the original english mono mix. Anyone?
On these markers, I'm also noting the approximate place, rounded to the nearest logical 5 or 10 in terms of seconds, where the scene each clip comes from begins.
Well, I finally got work started on the rough cut for my restoration of the video trailer for Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (Masterpiece edition). New estimate for release of the rough cut at the rate things are going (I've been a bit too busy with other things lately): sometime in the next week or two.
"WE WANT THE ORIGINAL CUTS MOTHERF@@@@R! F@@K YOU IF YOU CAN'T BE A MAN AND RELEASE YOUR WORK AS IT WAS ORIGINALLY RELEASED! F@@K YOU MOTHERF@@@@R!" Is this better worded? Same feeling, only much more concise. No?
Well, to paraphrase Dr. (expanded intellect) Morbius, "Yes, young men. All very convincing but for one obvious fallacy. The monsterous Lucas ownership died years ago. But today, as we all know, there is at large a new controlling interest, more open to talk of big bucks."
^ ^ ^ No offense to the author(s) but, as this petition stands, there's "too many ̶n̶o̶t̶e̶s̶ words". It needs a serous rewrite ... less sappy and half as long ... or you would force Disney to hire a special spokesman to deliver their reply (https://s30.postimg.cc/igcearnap/WS_Id_j...to_say.jpg). If you find you can't "drain the ̶s̶w̶a̶m̶p̶ sap", many others have made more effective pleas; just look a few up for their approach and inspiration. And may the ̶f̶o̶r̶c̶e̶ ̶ schwartz be with you!
"See that you are not troubled; for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be famines, pestilences, and earthquakes in various places. .." So, get started on that next project.
