Thanks👍

So, I just started using this mobile banking app—it was free for the first six months, but now they're hitting my account with $20 fees. I'm currently on one of those premium checking packages where the fee is $20.
Honestly, if I had the option, I’d just switch back to a standard checking account because these $20 monthly fees are getting ridiculous. If I drop the premium package and go back to basic checking, can I still keep using the mobile app, or am I stuck with just old-school SMS alerts?

Anyone know what's going on here?
The Control Panel is totally unresponsive—just dead. And even when it actually does respond, if I try clicking something like Windows Update, this pops up:

Thought I'd ask here too.
How does one go about making something like this?🤔
Which program would even handle this kind of work?

I almost passed out... literally, right in the middle of the movie🤦

Daniel Booth37 said:Dr. Richard Kimble. That scene where he’s shivering in the sewer in front of the US Marshal—and then taking that leap off the dam (even if it was just a dummy falling into the water)—is legendary. Total masterpiece. Bog of cinema.

Hands down one of his best roles.👍

stormycrane3 said:I guess the last installment was probably the best one in the series so far. 🙂

Same here.
The first one felt a bit slow—kind of a slog—but the second one really picked up the pace. I was fully expecting this one to top it, but then suddenly☕

Karen Richardson3 said:Honestly, I’m actually pleasantly surprised here. 🙂

To me, the second installment felt like a bit of a mess in terms of adaptation; you could really feel the influence of the Summit too much. That whole Katniss-Peeta-Gale love triangle was pushed way too hard into the spotlight, and the fight scenes felt way too polished and "Hollywood," which just missed the mark for me.

So, I went into the third book's adaptation with the same expectations—that they’d throw in random fights for the sake of it and try to reshape Katniss into this fearless warrior who never breaks down.
But man, she *has* to break down. That’s literally the entire point of her character—she’s completely overwhelmed by everything happening, not some untouchable superhero saving the world.

Given how much younger audiences at the local AMC usually complain (you know, saying things are boring or lack action), and considering that a huge chunk of readers don't even like the third book anyway—I assume because they aren't in the arena fighting anymore, which is apparently the only thing people care about?—it's a bold move to risk splitting such a book into two movies.

Still, from my perspective, I really have to thank the director for sticking so closely to the book, which is easily my favorite one in the trilogy.

It actually caught me off guard how emotional some of those scenes were. Hanging Tree was absolutely beautiful 👍, even though I had a totally different melody playing in my head while reading.
If I had to nitpick, maybe they could have explained the inner workings of District 13 a little more clearly, but then again, someone who hasn't read the books wouldn't be able to tell.

The male leads are still my biggest issue, though. In my opinion, the casting was a total swing and a miss. I can tolerate the guy playing Gale as long as he stays quiet, but the second he starts talking, it becomes almost impossible to watch.
And Peeta... 🕺

2 John Sullivan5:
I was expecting them to cut it off right when Peeta starts choking (which is basically where the book ends), but I guess they wanted to include the teaser for the attack on District 2. Honestly, I didn't mind the ending at all—having Coin giving that big speech while cutting back to the broken state of Katniss and Peeta worked really well for me.

As for Finnick, I can't quite recall who uncovered the whole rose and poison thing, but Finnick gave a speech where he was exposing secrets... they might be cutting out that female character you mentioned.

Me too.

northerntiger57 said:The first one is solid, mostly because the soundtrack absolutely slaps.

As for the sequel... I guess that highway pileup scene is worth a look.

Skip everything else. Just don't waste your time.

Yeah, couldn't have said it better myself.

Morgan Newman7 said:They run it on cable so often there’s basically no chance you won't see it again soon. I practically know the whole thing by heart at this point.

Menelaus and Agamemnon look way too old to me. Also, everyone looks exactly the same at the start of the war as they do at the end. You’d think a decade would change someone's face a bit, but whatever, movies have their flaws...

Exactly.

bluebadger14 said:There is absolutely no way—he just can't be the villain! 😳

I mean, the man is basically the new Chuck Norris...

🤣
This actually gave me a good laugh.

Nah, all five.
I noticed him right away—he definitely seemed shady in that scene, so...

Jonathan Perez88 said:Watched it yesterday—fun, but honestly, what you see is what you get 😁. I’m just stuck on one thing: why does he turn to him right at the start and mention heading to New York City? I don't see how that even connects to anything 😁

Just so he doesn't seem suspicious.

mistymoose94 said:Just have some patience. It’s pretty standard for everyone to be tied up—mostly because they don't even have the answers to the questions being asked (college students), so they just end up rerouting the call to some technician or something.

And people actually get paid for that?🙄

You just don't get it.
This isn't how things used to be—we’ve been with AT&T for about 15 years now, and we could always get a hold of them immediately, no matter what it was—internet, phone, TV, whatever.

Based on how things work, it should actually be the opposite of how it was 15 years ago. There are a million new providers out there now, so AT&T's customer base has shrunk, which means they really should be jumping to answer calls—not acting like they're the only provider left on the planet.

We tried getting a hold of them three days in a row—nothing.
But I’m with you on this—if they're understaffed, they should just hire some people from the unemployment office.

One of the villains actually caught me off guard—I was totally shocked when they were revealed, though I won't say which one just yet. On the other hand, I figured out the second one almost immediately, pretty much right at the start of the movie.
All in all, it’s a solid film. Honestly, it’s nice to finally see a classic like this without all the sci-fi nonsense and impossible stunts... it really hits that sweet spot of those 90s genre flicks.

One of my all-time favorites 🙂
There’s just no place like 😁

I'm really not feeling how much this is leaning left... feels pretty pointless 🙂

Not me either.🙄
Just silly. ☕
At first, I actually thought I'd accidentally squeezed something. 🤣

Lisa Ross65 said:I caught him on camera yesterday. I'll get around to watching it later. Honestly? I'm a little spooked...

Just watch out for a flying shark jumping straight through your TV screen.🤣🤣

Oh, come on, don't mess with me!!😂
