Full Report: Acquired the movie right after we messaged.
My wife was working on our book and about ten minutes in wound up putting it down and watching it with me. This is notable because I haven’t been able to convince her to watch known great movies with me. She will not watch Lord of the Rings and hasn’t found the time to watch Edge of Tomorrow with me since release. She gives no fucks about any Godzilla or King Kong movies. This? Well… the moment the gorilla flipped off The Rock, we were in.
She had a hard out at 11 PM due to work, but requested I stop and watch the rest with her tomorrow. What the fuck kind of magic shit is this?
I don’t know how to describe it. Maybe it’s a bad movie very well told and sold by everyone involved? Everyone was likeable and seemed to be having fun. There were a bunch of solid actors in it we both knew from other things, and (most surprising of all) the comedy actually worked. I’d actually say it was probably one of the best 3 video game movies ever, and I’ve seen all but 2. I know that may not seem like a lot, but… 14 year old me loved Mortal Kombat at the time, so it’s some kind of praise.
The Nick Cage movie “The Sorcerer’s Apprentice” (and maybe also Drive Angry) is one of the only other movies in my collection that I consider in this camp. It’s not great cinema, but it’s a really awesome ride.
You sold it 100% accurately, and I really appreciate it!

So I know this isn’t going to be popular, but… I lived in Saudi Arabia at 14. White people were targeted for kidnapping and rape continually, and no, not women. Men too.
I myself was very close to having both happen multiple times and escaped by pure panic and luck. My father and I were nearly killed by police with assault rifles because they wanted a bribe from my Dad. We were forced to drive into the desert at gunpoint to a “second location.”
This was not unusual for the expats.
I also went to school in Cincinnati and had the shit beaten out of me multiple times because I was white.
Racists no matter who they are racist to are fucking gross and I’m sorry you had to go through what you did. Please don’t think your experience applies worldwide though. Being white, gay, black, brown, trans, or damn near anything in some places is fucking dangerous.

Why? Having correlary traits in common with someone doing something dumb isn’t embarrassing.
Andrew Tate doesn’t make me embarrassed to be a man, he’s just embarrassing himself (and anyone who chooses those views are doing the same). We are individuals.

This is a really well-put description. Having pride in the color of your skin is fucking stupid and applies to everyone.
Pride is for achievements.
Skin color is not something anyone achieved (and no, paying for aesthetics is not an achievement either).

It’s social media. They really like to hit the “fuck you” button and not discuss anything.
You have to put yourself in their position though. If they commented anything approaching a discussion and not just casual dismissal, that would mean they’d have to think. Thinking is hard. Don’t do that to them.

My favorite Star Trek game of all time was the video board game with the Klingon host. I had everything from the Nightmare games so this was the next logical step and we loved it to even though it was cheesy as all get out.

- Comment on “Harley Quinn” Gets Fifth Season Renewal from Max 5 months ago:
The show really felt like it was on the way out after season 4. There were far fewer jokes and the ones that were there just weren’t funny.
After loving seasons 1 and 2 being kind of lukewarm on season 3, my wife stopped watching season 4.

So since you’re the one providing the labour in the transaction, this means you’re getting a tip FROM the gas station, right? R… Right?
