| Not a bad film, if you can get over some of pacing of the film and acting in general. A reasonable comment regarding either. Which did you mean? I was referring to The Cloverfield Paradox Then you get a strong "agree" from me. With the other film it would've been a less strong "agree... |

Welcome to WP! I hope you find pleasant interactions here.
My recommendation is to remember that many of us here are also Autistic so be patient with us. And if a discussion isn't patient with you that does not mean you have to leave WP, just move to a different discussion. |

And I believe Pence and Biden would recognize that they were inviting bad consequences if they walked off with classified documents. If you want to benefi... |
