Thanks for giving me an opportunity to preview the soundtrack.

Nothing personal, but 17 titles in it has annoyed me to the point I doubt I will see the film at the theater. I am totally dreading being assaulted by that soulless noise for 2+ hours at theater levels.

Better I learned it here than at the theater though. Because I will now wait to view at home where I can control the volume and take breaks, odds are better I will not thrash the film based on this, imo, hideous soundtrack.

The point is that it's not "just" stealing three bottles that he could go to jail for -- it's breaking into someone's house while they were home, which the law understandably treats as a far more serious crime with much graver penalties. That's not a technicality, it's understanding priorities.

Kidnapping get you 15 years max

25 years for breaking into an unoccupied (at the time) home and taking three bottles of liquor seems a bit excessive. Which was my point.

EDIT: Sorry, don't know why I'm arguing this, it's dumb...

It might be excessive, but they need to dis-incentivize burglaries. Most burglars don't get caught, but if they risk 25 years as a risk they might not do it. Though I don't know, 10 years seems like too much of a risk to me anyway, not sure what making it 25 does.

Deadline appears to have made an error in reporting the home as unoccupied, which gets only 15 years max. The statute says the 25-year maximum is for breaking into an occupied home, which is how CNN and Variety report it. The Deadline piece says it's quoting an item that's been scrubbed from the police website, and perhaps that error is the reason it was scrubbed.

Last I checked, Vermont wasn't in Canada.

Well, according to your own link, "Occupied dwelling" means a building used as a residence, either full time or part time, regardless of whether someone is actually present in the building at the time of entry.

Ah. I misunderstood that part. Still, the point stands that the maximum for an unoccupied dwelling is 15 years, and that Deadline reported the charge incorrectly.

I agree that a potential 25-year sentence for felony burglary is surprisingly high, but it's what the law says. Although of course, that's the maximum, so Miller's sentence if convicted might well be less than that. I'd imagine that if the occupants weren't home, that would probably lessen the sentence.

If its anything more than probation, acting career is over, right?

Dwayne Johnson on his influence on the DCEU: @2:25 - 2:46

"I'm in a different position than I was ten years ago, about the time we first met--i'm in a different position. I can call the plays, and those plays are gonna be run...today. To be in this position now, and to be able to run the plays in the way that we see appropriate to build out the DC Universe.."

Interesting. Johnson has never been shy about his being a longtime DC fan and getting to work in the filmed universe being a dream come true, so with that kind of enthusiasm--coupled with whatever influence he's suggesting he has on the DCEU, the door could be opening for some fascinating projects going forward.
