Instead of burning all that energy on eavesdropping, you could’ve just hopped onto the NBC website and saved us all from the spam. P.S. Alias is total garbage. 👋
It airs before Monica, so I might run into her while I'm waiting for the show to start...
This movie is total garbage. Bully is way better. Storytelling was alright, I guess. 🙂 I watched Happiness a long time ago—I probably should give it another look, though I likely won't. When I first saw it, it felt okay enough to me... 😁
Robert Evans said:I used to know this guy who was strictly vegan back before he ended up getting married. It’s kind of funny, isn't it? They claim to be vegan, yet there they are, rocking a pair of leather boots. Yeah, he was pretty pale and thin, too... just sort of scrawny. Then love finally got the better of him. He started eating meat again, and honestly, he ended up with a great physique. That complexion you see on models... it's just something else, isn't it?
Now I'm just sitting here wondering... what exactly went wrong? Honestly, I'm at a loss.
The real problem is that by the time you hit 70, you're barely able to walk and you're dealing with a mountain of health issues. People love to brush it off, saying, "Oh, that's just what happens when you get old," but honestly? That’s total nonsense. Most of that is just the direct result of the choices you made throughout your life—including what you put on your plate. It really makes you wonder if people even have a basic understanding of what actual nutrition looks like. 🙂 ).
I probably wouldn't look so washed out if I actually ate a balanced diet on a regular schedule... and maybe if my surroundings were a bit more supportive. Constant, senseless opposition can be incredibly draining, you know?
Sean Doyle said:I know a few people like that too. 🙄
I’m all for being against meat and leather—totally get the sentiment—right up until winter hits. Then suddenly, everyone is out there walking around in leather boots. 🙂
I honestly don't get what everyone's suddenly got against people wearing leather shoes. What’s the deal now? Are we supposed to be strictly vegan, and if we aren't, are people going to judge us just for breathing? Even though I don't personally wear anything made from animals... still, everyone really needs to mind their own damn business.
William Scott40 said:I heard somewhere that strict vegans—those folks who don't touch any amino acids from animal sources at all—basically drop dead within three years. I mean, if that's true, well, you do what you want, I guess. 😉
I heard through the grapevine that you're actually pretty dim-witted and that you're headed for the grave in three years, no matter what you try to do. There's just no saving you... :kill:
Anyone can claim to be part of the United Nations, but honestly, that doesn't really mean much without substance.
I think the real key is for everyone to take a hard look at what they’re actually putting on their plate.
If you start taking your health for granted, it’s eventually going to catch up with you and take you down.
For me, I'm vegan, and I feel pretty great 😍 even if I think the word itself is a bit silly.
I actually love eating a huge variety of things—lots of fruits, veggies, grains, and legumes (like soy and chickpeas, actually). There are so many different groups and ways to mix them all together. 🙂
And honestly, I don't feel like I'm missing out on anything.
If anything, I'm just full of drive and energy. 🙂
There was one time I tried going back to dairy for just a single day 🙄 and I immediately started feeling sluggish, heavy, and just "foggy," so I jumped right back to my usual routine.
I've been vegan for about three, almost four years now...
I generally stay away from processed junk food—you know, stuff loaded with preservatives and additives—though I do eat bread (strictly whole grain). I prefer sticking to whole foods, avoiding added sugar, and I don't go too heavy on the spices either.
And I just stick to water. That's it.
Look, you don't necessarily have to become vegan or adopt any specific label, but if people just listen to their own nutritional needs, they might find themselves changing naturally...
Oh, and this whole thing about weight gain is total nonsense... if you aren't fueling yourself with useless junk, there's no way you're going to get overweight. It’s not really about how much you eat, it’s more about the quality of the food.
P.S. The only vegetarians I see eating unhealthily are the ones who eat very little or lack variety. It isn't just about eating some plants; you have to aim for balance, diversity, and actually do your research on nutrition to figure out what works for you.
Believe it or not, they’re actually filming Final Destination 3, officially titled "Cheating Death: Final Destination 3".
Alright, so the first one was decent—kind of a refreshing break from those typical teen slashers like Scream (not that Scream is bad, as a standalone film, but it felt like so many movies tried to ride its coattails afterward), because the killer was actually Death itself. That made it worth watching, and there was plenty of tension...
The sequel, though? Pretty pointless. Basically just recycled the first one without adding anything new. Total waste of time.
Besides, what's the actual thrill in watching a movie where you already know everyone is going to die? I mean, the killer is DEATH. Anything else would just feel unbelievable.
The first one is passable, but the second one? Definitely NO.
And now, they're working on number 3.
Word is the movie starts off with a massive accident on a Rollercoaster.
That sounds pretty wild, and honestly, there's a lot of potential for some intense, gory scenes... a metal bar snapping off, the coaster dropping mid-loop... total chaos followed by a complete collapse. All in all, it sounds "better" than that highway accident from before...
Once things get moving, the other deaths can be easily worked in if the writers use their imagination. And if that’s just how it starts, who knows what's waiting for the "survivors" further down the line? :/
Anyway, looks like we might see FD 4 & 5 once they come up with another "interesting" main disaster...
!!!! This phenomenal trilogy is finally getting its full-length feature version 🙂)))))
In their very first feature film, Tom and Jerry have to figure out who’s been sneaking around under the cover of night stealing all the veggies in the neighborhood 🤣 and putting the annual giant vegetable contest at risk :kes:
If you haven't seen them yet, you really should check out the trilogy:
Toy Story franchise: A Grand Day Out Toy Story franchise: The Wrong Trousers Toy Story franchise: A Close Shave
And there's also this collection of 10 short cartoons called "Wallace & Gromit: Cracking Contraptions" on DVD...
The movie hits theaters on October 20, 2005. 🙂))))))))
I honestly don't get why everyone is suddenly crying over this magazine all of a sudden; the thing is absolute garbage. Everything from their wildly biased, low-effort movie reviews to those hollow advertisements for blockbusters, which are just flashy pictures paired with endless praise for whatever project they're pushing.
The guy clearly missed having actual impartiality, quality, and a lack of commercial greed. Why on earth would I want some loud, obnoxious ad for an upcoming blockbuster shoved in my face alongside the hyper-subjective opinions of someone who clearly doesn't know what they're talking about? If they want to be heard, they should just start a blog. It’s way cheaper, and you're guaranteed some level of fame. Plus, the internet has all the images you could ever need (and you don't even have to deal with those licensing fees they were whining about being too expensive back when they had to shut everything down...).
Personally, I've never been a fan of film magazines. It seems like nobody actually knows how to make one right.
Alright, I'll say it. Paul Mendoza8, you're just wrong. This isn't about having different tastes; it's just a lack of understanding. Carnival is a phenomenal series—top-tier production and an inspiring script packed with clever, sharp humor. Honestly, sure, some elements might feel familiar, but they've never been wrapped up in such a perfectly balanced package of incredible atmosphere. I genuinely enjoy this show. And I don't mean that in a shallow way, but in a deep, layered appreciation for everything it offers. Carnival manages to say more intelligent things in two sentences than Augustus Hill ever did during his entire career behind bars. Oz is nothing but pretension and senseless violence. I can't stand the show anymore because it has simply lost its way. Try explaining what actually happened in the last five episodes—if you can even wrap your head around that much chaos—and you'll realize you're just talking nonsense. You're throwing out a billion plot points that lead absolutely nowhere. Oz sucks. Big time.
I totally missed that second episode—the one with the little guy who needs a good thrashing—but here we are at the third one (I honestly couldn't remember if this was the second or the third myself... 😁...by the way, where did that guy Nick Stahl get those photos from again? I can't recall what went down in the second episode?) Anyway, this series is absolutely phenomenal!!!! 😁
Dennis Long7 said:I wish Michael was some kind of human being, but Michael Myers just isn't. 😉
Nah, Michael Myers is... basically Hellboy! 😁 Born in hell, raised by demons, this whole "human family" thing is just a facade...
Version 2: Michael Myers is just a commercial product that refuses to stay dead.
The first Halloween is honestly pretty dull; the second part saves it slightly, the third one feels totally disconnected, and the rest are just unnecessary (though I've only really seen the 6th one or something, so maybe I'm not the best person to weigh in 😁). Then you've got Halloween: 20 Years Later—which is just a convenient commercial extension of the series that feels a bit monotonous compared to other modern slashers—and Halloween: Big Brother in the creepy house (where Jamie Lee Curtis dies in the most ridiculous way possible; it’s just a sequel meant to keep the franchise going so they can churn out another 30 of them).
Freddy is overrated. The first one is alright, the second is meh, the third is okay, and they really should have called it quits there, but they didn't—and that's the story of Freddy Krueger and A Nightmare on Elm Street.
I absolutely love the Scream Trilogy.
Freddy vs. Jason actually turned out to be decent. There were a million ways they could have messed it up (some people will say they already did! 😁)
Jason is just incredibly repetitive. I watched about two minutes of the second one before giving up. I don't really have any interest in watching Jason.
analogcobra31 said:It's truly strange how someone capable of making a film as solid as the voodoo horror The Serpent and the Rainbow can end up making something like Scream, which works as a thriller for a mainstream audience but is a total disaster for horror fans, landing right up there with Wrong Turn and similar flicks.
The issue is that you go into a movie expecting something specific and immediately try to slot it into predefined patterns or genres.
Wrong Turn isn't really a horror movie, but it's a phenomenal thriller and I quite enjoy it.
By the way, has anyone mentioned The Exorcist? I didn't really connect with it all that much (not even during the scene where the kid is struggling with the cross and yells, "Fuck me! Jesus, fuck me!"). It feels like the whole movie boils down to that one scene of a guy sitting by a lamp in the dark, and that bad parody in Scary Movie 2 (which is a bad parody regardless!). Still, I might check out The Exorcist: The Beginning; I saw a show recently that got me curious about it 😁.
Give > a shot if you're looking for something deeply emotional and touching. I honestly have no clue how they titled it for the American release, since I watched it a long time ago...
