If only they would bring those shows back; you can never have enough of a good series 🙂

An excellent yet deeply moving movie. Hilary Swank delivers an incredible performance.

Chloe Perez said:I'm not sure about those NYC and ST situations, but why not just call the Medicare legal department or head down to their office on Jukic Street—whichever is closer for you? As for other legal routes, you could either pay for private insurance yourself or have someone hire you for a single month just so you can "resign" and then re-register for free coverage within the thirty-day window. Of course, that still costs the employer payroll taxes. What a headache.

Exactly. If nobody registers you as an employee, your only option is to cover the costs yourself. Once you land a job, the company handles all the paperwork and registration based on where the business or household is located. Your only other real option is if you have a spouse who already has coverage, in which case you could be added to their plan.

And can I just handle this here in NYC, or do I need to head down to Miami??
P.S. My future mother-in-law actually works at the Department of Health and Human Services—could she maybe pull some strings for me?🙄

Also, after all these months, how do I even begin to regain my healthcare coverage?

You have to register based on where you live. This means if your legal residence is in Miami, you deal with things there. If you have a registered local address in Washington, D.C., then it depends on the specific municipality; you'll need to provide proof of residency.

If they had American subtitles, wouldn't you grab them instantly?

I am genuinely looking forward to the third installment. Since I found both the first and second films to be excellent, I have developed quite an affinity for this genre.

The first scenario is what I'm seeing on my end. 🙂

Alien, Predator, The Matrix, Back to the Future, Blade, Microcosmos.

There is another old movie I remember watching when I was a kid. I know for a fact that I loved it, but the title escapes me. If I recall correctly, it was about a young boy who fell into some kind of hole or pit, and when he finally emerged, about ten years had passed for everyone else while only a few hours had gone by for him... something like that.

Does anyone happen to have it?

so poorly dubbed—either they used French phrases or those strange slang terms... it was just nonsense. 😁
It was hilarious, though; we were absolutely dying laughing watching it... 😁
And wasn't the young lead actress, the one who became a massive superstar (forgive me, I can't recall her name right this second, it's right on the tip of my tongue), wasn't she wearing a leather biker jacket? 😁

That is all true, but regardless, the film left me with such great memories. It felt phenomenal back then, and I would honestly love to watch it again.

I absolutely loved that movie. I've been searching for it for ages, thinking maybe I was the only one who actually remembered "Rave." If anyone happens to have it, PLEASE let me know!🙏

Honestly, I feel like I HAVE to go see it. Why? Simply because I actually experienced the shock of seeing Enrique acting in a movie.🙂 🙏

Empty holster—it's a crime, Leslie Nielsen!👍 🙏

I’m an archer myself, so 😈 I’m heading out today to catch a game for the Golden State Warriors.

I personally enjoyed both sequels. While the first one is arguably the better film, the second definitely ramps up the gore. That accident at the start of the second installment is genuinely chilling. It’s certainly worth a watch.👍

Fair point, you caught me there, but I didn't feel like getting into a long explanation. To be honest, I enjoyed the movie; I wasn't overanalyzing what was realistic versus what wasn't—I just let myself get lost in the story. All things considered, it's an okay film!

Does the entire city really have to be making phone calls at that exact moment, especially given the mobile revolution?

As far as I know, he has a cell phone too, but since his wife was checking who he was calling, she used a Phone Booth instead.

Wouldn't professional police officers notice a bulge on a guy's back from a gun that would be impossible to hide in a Phone Booth?

Well, how would they know he hadn't already stepped out of the booth and shot someone in the back, especially since those annoying bystanders were screaming that they saw him with a gun?

Would they seriously send that many cops just to hunt down one person?

I'm not sure; I doubt it, but it is a movie, after all.

Do you think there would really be that much negotiation?

It depends on the lead cop.😁

If the phone calls are actually happening in real-time, do you think his wife could arrive that quickly in a massive city like New York?

She didn't arrive *that* fast; maybe she lived nearby, though we don't know where they live.

And when he says those things to the Black officer, it's like everything happens all at once.

Yes, that part felt a bit rushed, but perhaps someone would react that way...🙄

Do you really believe traffic would grind to a halt for that long just because some madman is on the phone?

I don't know; it was on TV, so it probably would.

Everyone has their own preferences, so there's really no point in arguing about it.

I just finished watching it and really enjoyed it. It’s a solid film with a great lead actor—honestly, what more could you ask for?😁 👍

In my opinion, the sequel actually outshines the original, though I felt the final 45 minutes became a bit diluted and dragged on too long.

Exactly right.👍
