I’m reading some threads right now suggesting that if you experience any brownish spotting mid-cycle, it’s actually pretty standard.
On the flip side, a friend was telling me that bleeding during your period might be a sign
that whatever birth control you're on just isn't strong enough. 😕 🤔

It hasn't happened to me personally, but, I guess, I'm curious.😁 🤔

Robert Anderson10, yeah, maybe you could even get that private gynecologist recommendation from them. That’s basically the secret formula, I guess.
I guess that’s how they handled my prescription over at Sun City.

Could I please just be Lady Annie or maybe Lady Anne? 🙂
Just something like that, really. Anything to get rid of this hyphen that’s just... staring at me.

Either Lady Anne or Lady Annie works fine. Just let Nica PM know which one you settle on.

I'm no film critic, nor am I a massive cinephile, but even to me, this felt transparent and boring. It was just bad, plain and simple. 🤦 And I don't hate Neeson. I see people giving it a five, but I'd barely give it a two. 👎

As for the mistakes in the movie, anyone who has ever been to Istanbul would want to cry. 🙂
He gets kidnapped downtown, near the Egyptian market... then we see them traveling by boat to the other side of the city. Later, when the girl is searching for him and throwing grenades, it turns out he was only held captive two streets (or maybe two houses 🤣) away from where he was snatched.

And then there's the Galata Bridge when they are driving (that scene where he and his wife talk before the kidnapping). You can cross that bridge on foot in less than ten minutes, which means a car takes seconds, yet they seem to be driving for at least five minutes.
It drove me absolutely crazy.🙂

I second that.
I actually decided to watch this one specifically because the setting was Istanbul.
But man, the portrayal of the city is totally unrealistic. It’s like they think
only men
wearing fez hats and women in burqas walk the streets, when Istanbul has modernized quite a bit
in that regard. Also, that Galata Bridge thing... that caught my eye too. I actually said to the guy, "I don't get how you have to drive so slow that it takes five whole minutes
to cross that bridge."
🙂 Third off, they keep showing the same mosque over and over, as if it’s
the only one in the entire city, when Istanbul is absolutely packed with them.🙂

I did enjoy the taxi chase sequence. And the whole idea with the grenade
and the speed of sound was pretty cool. (Though I still don't get how he could be held just a few streets away,
while they supposedly crossed the Bosphorus.😕)

Overall, I suppose the movie is watchable. It has a few decent ideas, but I think they
could have put in a bit more effort. Especially regarding making Istanbul feel like a real part of the story.
Based on how they shot it, the plot could have been set anywhere.🤷
