Surprised there isn't a more active thread on this movie. Saw it yesterday as part of an extended birthday celebration (too long to go into, and not interesting to anyone not involved). Aside from not being able to spell, the movie was actually pretty enjoyable. (Yes, you read that correctly...

The first one was hilarious. Looking forward to the director's cut. A sequel has tons of potential...

Proper use of a sword requires years of training. If someone is breaking into my home, chances are very good that they aren't well trained. Numbers can be countered by simply working through a door frame where they can only work one at a time. And that's where being old and slimy wins over youth...

I saw this last week when a friend invited me to see it. (Normally, I don't go to movies unless I'm on a date--Netflix is my friend.) I have to say, this was the first time they actually got the movie RIGHT. (Yeah, you aren't hallucinating: I said something good about a movie.) This gave us what...

Unless they have a fire-arm and keep their distance, I'm set. If they give me time to get to the bedroom, they're dead. (That's where my swords are). By the by: alarm systems are useless. The police do not respond to them. There are so many false alarms, and the police are way too busy with...

What do you need the body for? Are you short on protein? Seriously, though, what do you need the body for? Like many other factors of culture, the need for a body for "closure" or the corpse to be present in any way at the memorial service makes no sense to me. Then again, I'm one of those...

The US doesn't have much actual practice in arguing and debate. This is why so many flame wars start and most arguments quickly degenerate into name calling and logical fallacies. The object is to go for image and emotion, not actual substance. And it happens over and over and over again. And...

Oh, I sooooo want to say something... Maybe I'll find an actual thread where it will be appropriate.

restaurants are nasty, cut-throat businesses. opening any business is hard, but any food service is probably harder than just about anything else. There's a reason they have such a high failure rate. And you have to be totally dedicated to your restaurant for it to have any chance of success.

Getting paid to do something I want to do--using my creativity. Managing the rental properties takes up about 3-10 hours a month, and requires no creativity at all.

Well, they are getting to the point where they can (almost) 3D print replacement organs... Why not just do an entire body?

Being able to retire is not a choice many people are going to be able to make, whether they want to or not. Many people simply won't be able to afford to. I have a bit of a problem with that. Sadly, if I go any further into this topic, I venture into the area of banned politics.

So, to recap, you have a job... You have a job that is interesting... You have a job that involved playgrounds and people having fun... I'm not jealous. No. Not on any or all of those three counts. Absolutely not. Never get me to admit it either. No Never. Well...

So busy I have time to learn how all this.

A: Yes B: English (Technical Writing), German, Computer Graphics C: no. Supposedly, San Jose had a huge market for technical writers. By the time I finally managed to get an interview for that type of position, it was almost 3 years later. Tech Writing is a use-it-or-lose-it skill. In three...

Aside from a 6-month stint at a restaurant, I've been unemployed almost 10 years. Just about given up any hope of finding a job.

Yes, though it did mean that several spin-off characters became the stars of the Superman comics for about a year, including Steel and Superboy (a pre-pubescent clone).

Wasp? Is wasp big enough to count? Pretty sure she wasn't ever killed. Of course, I stopped buying comics back in '96. Then there was Dead Man, whose super power was just to come back from the dead (like a Highlander immortal without the sword fighting).

Oh, it's hillarious. While the Daily show pokes a quick joke at as many topics as they can cram in, Last Week Tonight picks 3-4 topics, and runs with them for the entire episode. Youtube. What is even funnier is that the guy responded with another video, to which John Oliver replied on his...

These: Can someone please translate the Trinidad phrases he used to address the people in "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DnDPI5z7LdY".
