i don't know the context behind that discussion a year ago between you and yi, but your original comment isn't fair based strictly off what is said in those quotes. in the purge, the nation's economy does not require the purge. the economy merely greatly benefits from the purge. require and greatly benefit are very different

Cities destroyed by Hollywood movies:

north dakota wins again

[Eddie Teach]

North Dakota loses, due to not being worth destroying.

Sweet, succulent natural gas.

oh but where would your canola and flaxseed be without bestdakota

Tokyo hasn't been destroyed by a variety of things has it?  Just 80 times by monsters.

[The Larch]

I wonder how San Francisco gets hit so much, it's not as if *that* big. Being iconic has its drawbacks, I guess.

Some of those monsters were aliens.

Some of those monsters were aliens.

And a lot of the property damage was inflicted by superheroes/giant robots defending it from said monsters, too.

Yeah, and the flip side of that is Chicago.  Relative to size, it probably gets destroyed the least of any city.

Doesn't look they're counting the Transformers. Surely they would fall under aliens.

It's under Superheroes, apparently.

We know that the Transformers are aliens (or alien robots), but we're going by genre here—it's clearly a superhero battle.

What's the link? There's shit tons of disaster movies out there, wanted to know where they drew the line.

Is Rooney Mara a better actress than about 98% of her peers?  Absolutely.  And is she also the most beautiful woman in pictures?  Certainly the most perfectly proportioned.    Even if she finds eyebrows to be a difficult balance.
