  1. I could go explain a few, but that would depend upon what the mods are willing to let me discuss given how sensitive some of the subject matter is.
  2. "Thank You For Your Service" This one actually tells it like it is when it comes to what soldiers face when they try to come home.
  3. Only The Brave. It's rare to see a movie be this respectful of such subject matter.
  4. I haven't seen Idris yet.
  5. "The Foreigner" It's a slow burn at first, but generally worth the wait.
  6. My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic You'd do well to track down the "prequel" comic book series for the supplementary information, but beyond that it's fun and has better animation that even some Disney movies.
  7. Themiscyra goes back to the original mythology as presented in the comic books, and if memory serves the title is old enough to where yes, she *did* fight in WWII *as it happened*, just like Superman, Batman, and a number of other comic heroes of the day. That's just part of the history of the character.
  8. There are certain elements of the "progressive" movement who have decided that anything which disagrees with them is "fascist" and needs to be destroyed.
  9. "American Made" Once again, don't expect Hollywood to teach you history.
  10. The modern "feminist" movement is, to put it bluntly, riddled through with hucksters, con artists, get-rich-quick types, professional victims, deviants, and even full-on predators. Yes, it's pretty much taken for granted in some circles that if someone's an avowed "male" feminist there's a good chance they're a predator taking advantage of the "you're with us or you're against us!" mentality that so many female modern feminists hold to in order to create a group of loyal, vulnerable ladies they can target. This was hammered home in tragic detail a few months ago with the "Russian Deadpool" incident, but there have been a lot of other examples, including of big names in the field. One would think that the movement would take some time to remove the beam from its own eye...
  11. https://www.gutenberg.org/ Project Gutenberg. 54,000+ books. 100% free. Either the works are public domain, or the authors have allowed free distribution. Just bear in mind that because of how old many of the works are, you're likely going to find a few that will challenge modern-day sensitivities.
  12. Kingsman: The Golden Circle Doesn't clear the bar set by the first one.
  13. http://983thesnake.com/tickets-for-meridian-temple-open-house-available-in-late-september/ Yes folks, this is a radio station. And they're talking about the temple open house. A radio station. A rock station. I noticed it earlier this evening when I went to pull up their live stream ("The House of Hair with Dee Snider" isn't carried locally.) So yeah... a rock station is talking about the open house.
  14. "American Assassin" There are better spy movies out there.
  15. The BMI is garbage. Period. It was meant to be a quick means of assessing groups, not individuals. As such, it presumes that the average human being will fall within a set range of physical parameters. Folks who are naturally husky (like me) and naturally slender will have inaccurate BMI readings no matter what they do. As far as muscle mass goes, a good trainer should be working with you to ensure that you're developing it properly. You should only fear getting muscle-bound if you're building for looks or building to pump up; if you're simply exercising to lose weight or gain strength, a good trainer will keep you going. I actually did weight training back in college, so this is all personal experience for me.
  16. As seen on Facebook:
  17. The overall story itself is bad self-insert fan-fiction. The rest of the film is classic 70s-era martial arts goodness. So really, it comes down to what you want to focus on.
  18. Still having trouble here, too.
  19. Also experiencing log-in issues. Also keep telling the system to keep me logged in.
  20. The 2017 remake of "It". Do *not* bother with this movie. At all. There's nothing to redeem it.
  21. I use my personal vehicle for work, so I have to keep the tank filled. Cue me trying to run to the station yesterday to fill up. The station in question only had diesel and premium, and the pumps were dispensing the premium so slowly that I lost grip strength in both arms holding on to the fuel nozzle. I finally gave up after a mere 3.454 gallons, at which point the station workers were already mothballing pumps to conserve what was left. After this morning's run, I went in to gas up again. Turns out that at some point after I left, they finally got a shipment. They had everything and in quantity, such that I got a full 5+ gallons without issue.
  22. The gas situation is getting worse, but reports are that one particular refinery hopes to be back online sometime Sunday.
  23. I've found, through trial and error, a type and style of clothing that works best for me given the field I work in and what my daily life is like. I can literally go into a store, find what I need, and be at the register before some people finish looking at a rack.
  24. The stake president around here has asked that people gas their cars up as soon as possible and limit the mileage they drive until such time as regular gas deliveries can continue. A lot of stations are completely out of gas, while others only have diesel and perhaps the high-end "premium" grade.
  25. I spend most of my time trying to remind people that I even exist.
