The long walk, The runner, I'm hoping for a movie about standing around or possibly even moseying next if we're gonna get crazy with it

I feel like there have been a few movies in the past that were great, so I said fuck it today and watched this one because I couldn't make up my mind on anything else. Gal is a great looking woman but if I were to make a 1.5+ hour lululemon commercial of mostly back shots and a surprising twist at the end, I would've used someone with a bit more butt. There really was no more depth to that movie than that.

The Long Walk was ok but still WAY too much grab ass and fucking around for a situation where you will be literally shot in the head if you fuck up.

I was expecting her next role to be a Zionists sniper killing forgein journalists, head shooting children. And helpless mothers then pissing on their corpes. Whiling making tic knocker videos.
At the end she would blow up the un and pay forgein politicians visits in the night threatening them to do as they are told....

I actually really 'static' movies where not much literal action happens, if done well. I forget the name, but there's a Tom Hardy movie that does this really well. It's just a dude driving his car while his life falls apart. I'm pretty sure he never leaves the car. He's just driving and talking on the phone, and it's engaging.
Another one is Sunrise with Sam Jackson and Tommy Lee. Most of it is just two guys sitting down and philosophizing/arguing about meaning, God, etc. Maybe there was a physical fight at the end? Damn, I'm realizing my memory kind of sucks.

Hey, thanks. Second time someone has recommended I watch The Man From Earth this week. Looking it up now.
Looked it up, seems neat. I kind of disregarded disregarded first time it was recommended because I thought it was that Keanu movie where he's an alien, hehe.

The Stand!
A thriller about a murder where "random" people are called to the stand for a murder of someone they don't know and yet.. proof shows they are partially responsible for it...
Will they crack under the pressure of the stand while standing there? Will they be able to prove they weren't standing with the victim on their death?
Or a thriller where the president of the united states of america(obviously) suddenly murders someone in the oval office but he's lucid and doesnt know why he did it. Due to safety measures he's moved to a contained cell with the white cushions and he's using those force jackets as well. A phsycologist has to diagonse the president before he meets BigBadCountry Leader on a potentional peace treaty so the treaty can go through.. For the phsycologist its a lifetime of stress combined into just a week.. for the president? He can only Stand and wait...

We know Gadot is not a native English speaker but for god's sake, cast her in roles where she doesn't need to speak like a native, like a Greek demi-god who has never seen the outside world.
Or, have her taking dialect classes for the next 3 years.1

so no it isn’t directly funded by taxes. but they do lobby politicians to make the corporations and rich folks pay less in taxes. so in a round about way, it takes money that could have been taxed and gone to the government to do things. soooo no, but I think it amounts to the same. (hope I worded that okay I’m in a taco bell drive thru)

She has a beautiful face. She’s an absolute delight as a side character like she did in the fast series.

Her acting just let her (or us) down every time she takes the centre stage.

Well she's a bad actor, but I noticed that in 2016 when Batman v Superman came out, and was downvoted into oblivion. Back then it was not okay to be honest about anything, and people would call you a racist, or transphobic, or whatever and try to cancel you. Then the Palestine Israel conflict happened and since Reddit is a leftist echo chamber, the tone shifted. So now everybody here hates "people from Israel", so it's okay to hate Gal Gadot too.

The change in the general audiences opinion of Gal Gadot is insane. When she got cast a Wonder Woman people would give their first born to be in the same room.
There was a SNL sketch around that time with Gal Gadot in it, where Gadot kissed on of the female cast members. If you look up the video on YouTube and look at the comments people were absolutely fuming about how it was them who got to kiss her
