I am sorry to take up your time, but you are welcome to now reply!

According to local news (Central Europe) the pagers were ordered by Hizbollah. Expecting them to be used by Hizbollah is therefore very likelly, especially considering the intell that Hassan Nasrallah announced in july that phones were no longer safe to use. The sender has said that they were not involved, so meddling must have been made in the transit between the sender and ther reciever.

Listen, I am not arguing any points, I am presenting the contradicting information available and asking what people around the world know. If 3000 pagers were sold to Hizbollah and 3000 got injured, that is a pretty good success, even though random innocents (including children) were affected. On the other hand, if 20 pagers were rigged, and 3000 got hurt, then it is blatant and dangerous warfare that can indeed be compared to terrorism. The information does not add up though

I read an interview of the director, who said that the plot of the original is also hard to sell to the world market. Still, it may be a good look into the difference of commercially tailored horror movies and honest psychological horror.

For me, the toe crumbling realizations of me likely reacting like the victims do, made it really relatable, and it not ending with a happy ending like the commercial version does, was really unpleasant

I’d rather not, but the very interesting thing is comparing the original, to the popularized version. I would suggest watching both actually. I would not call it unpleasant as in offensive or over the edge. It just exposes some natural human action and reactions to being exposed to a crisis. Psychologically, humans will, when presented to a thread, either fight, freeze or run away.

The original movie is in Danish, but I am sure that you will be able to find subtitles for it. There is some nudity, but among horror movie lovers, I would not call it over the edge. I can really recommend watching both though.

I agree, i am simply comparing to the actions in Gaza, and asking for more information. I don’t know if pagers can receive messages while flying in an airplane, and two children amongst 3000 injuries is hell of a lot better than what they have achieved in Palestine.

I will not argue for any point, as I have pointed out that there seem to be a lot of contradicting and misleading information around on the attack. I am simply trying to dig into and compare what people are being told about it. Some places it is presented like only a handful of the injured were actual targets. Other places, they say that the majority of the injured were active key Hizbollah members, and that the media is highlighting the few innocent who were accidentally involved

The contradicting information over here is that they do not mention how many pagers have exploded. They only say that hundreds of pagers exploded. That would suggest that it is less than 1000 and thereby a lot more collateral injuries than intended.

There are also news that two of the dead are medical staff. I know that the medical personel in many countries (including the NHS in UK! ) use pagers. Them being medic personel does not exclude the chance of them being involved in Hezbollah, but i feel that there is a lot of contradiction in this story

I actually would have typed that into my comment too, but i have no knowledge of how much slower a wind powered boat would travel upwind or how dependent performance would be on wind. I totally understand the need for mechanically powered transportation instead of using wind. My comment is mainly targeted at the misleading comparison.

What a let down to see this remake of Speak no Evil! I saw the original, that was honestly one of the most terifying films that i have seen in ages, and then this, was turned into a happy ending!

Honestly, if you are into horror, i recommend watching the original Speak no Evil. It is a highly unpleasant movie to have seen, but really a horror movie from the top shelf!

I do not agree with this at all. Although I love Nicolas Cage, I found Longlegs to be boring, and really neither scary or relatable. Compared to movies that are not even mentioned, like Smile, Speak no evil (the original), Midsommar, Mother etc, i don’t feel like Longlegs should be at the top!

I actually even feel that M3gan was better than Longlegs both as a whole and as a singled out villain.

Isn’t this massively misleading? Comparing the fuel consumption to a chase boat that is not a hydrofoil, and blaming the efficiency on the fact that it is an EV?

Sorry - I am genuinely asking, because in the media here (Central Europe), they don’t mention that probably the majority of all injuries were in fact involved with Hezbollah. What the mainstream reader will assume, and honestly also myself, is that the few killed were the “bad guys” and that the rest were civilians. At least this is what we are used to hear in the news, when Israel try to take out specific targets. I am just trying to clarify, because the news here make it seem like these injuries are made to civilians who were not related or involved. At least they make no effort to point out that most of them probably are active key persons in what many have listed as a terrorist organization

Can we assume that the majority of the injured people, after these incidents are actually involved in Hezbollah? How many pagers exploded?

Unlike the attacks on Gaza, and Palestine as a whole, (yes I am assuming that this was arranged by Israel) this seems to have been a very targeted action. The explosions (that have been shown in the media) are quite small and seem to only hurt the person holding the pager. People standing next to them seem to be unhurt! On the other hand, news here mention hundreds of pagers exploding, which means that many injuries must have been collateral damages

PS. This popped up on my front page feed - I have no idea what community I am in, just hoping for logical discussions

So the article from an Israeli newspaper, says that Palestinians are fleeing their homes to avoid being used as human shields by Hamas? Not because they are being exterminated like vermin by Israel?

If Israel can conduct such a targeted attack on Hizbolah, (asuming that it was indeed israel who did it) it is amazing that they have been so terrible at targeting Hamas among civilian Palestinians

I love that they use hammocks, lie down when they sleep and love cuddles

Both but one is supported by the USA so they get unlimited free passes

This is why i also ask if they were rigged with explosives or they somehow made the batteries explode or smth. There are no details in the local news but clips of some guy falling over because something in his pocket exploded. This made no sense that omething like that, could cause 2750 injuries unless almost 3000 pagers exploded in a similar way, especially because everything around these guys, was barelly affected!

Here, there is a 450 year old house that is now owned by a group of citizens who use it to arrange local events.

I have a some question(s).

Did all pagers in Lebanon just explode or was it only targeted pagers of terrorists that exploded? where they rigged with explosives? how can such a small device in the hands of so few people hurt so many people if they were not rigged with explosives? Was it only terrorist using pagers or is this still a thing i Lebanon?
