Being an American is just how you were born, but being a good person? That’s something you actually have to earn through your actions.

I don't care what anyone says, it’s not just "good." It's a masterpiece. Every single time I sit down to watch it, it stays fresh, sharp, and genuinely fun. Honestly? It beats the third installment by a mile.

As for nimblemarlin17's take on his comedic timing, I think there's plenty of it if you look at
Demolition Man and Oscar. But honestly, I never watch him expecting a comedian.

In Demolition Man, it's Snipes who's funny, not him. Come to think of it, the only time I actually laugh at him is in Rocky because he makes such a stupid face throughout the whole movie that it's impossible not to crack a smile.

It’s a total toss-up with him—as many of his movies are watchable as they are unwatchable. He really lacks that sense of humor he had back in Tango & Cash, though even then, he was just playing the sidekick in the duo. His best work is definitely in the gritty Rocky.

Alright, so I guess everyone else is on board too. I’m definitely not alone in thinking this movie actually delivers, even if people were acting like it was just some forced sequel. 🙂

That said, I don't see them making Ocean's Twelve anytime soon. But hey... the way they wrapped up Ocean's Eleven didn't really leave much room for more anyway.

redwalker6 said:As far as mindless action goes, sure, Commando and Rambo II and III are great flicks. But honestly? They’ll never top the more serious stuff like Die Hard and Terminator for me.

Die Hard and Terminator are actually aiming for serious action. Commando is just pure, mindless slaughter from start to finish. And honestly, that kind of thing only works that well because of the Governor.

redwalker6 said:It’s definitely a solid movie, but I wouldn't call it spectacular. The action is top-tier, and there are a few great one-liners from Schwarzenegger, especially during that opening scene where he's lugging that massive log. My main gripe is that he feels a bit over the top in certain scenes—I can't quite put my finger on why, but it just felt off. There were a few things that rubbed me the wrong way throughout the runtime. Still, Rambo is better.

That's exactly the point. The movie is supposed to be over the top, raw, and naive. That's why it works so well.

Robin Torres2 said:I actually sat through the second one, and honestly? It was a total snooze fest. I don't even want to hear about this third installment.

Look, I’d definitely recommend it. It’s way better than the sequel. They basically went back to basics—instead of all that forced romance and vague subplots, it’s just a straight-up, high-stakes heist. The humor is subtle, buried in the details. It’s a solid movie. I was actually pleasantly surprised.

feralheron16 said:Look, that spot is basically just a hangout lounge, not a Shark area.

Whatever. Either way, the Shark area is located past where the bike path ends. It’s pretty stupid. The whole point of a path like that is to be continuous so you can actually get some laps in without hitting a dead end.

Watched it tonight. Honestly? It’s actually good. Not bad at all. The plot isn't some convoluted mess like the sequel, and the ending hits the mark. Bringing the action back to Las Vegas was a smart move. 👍

The funniest movie ever made. It doesn't get any better than this.

Carol Jackson45 said:How are they doing? Honestly, pretty good. Most people I know finished college, got jobs, started families, and are just out there grinding and paying off their mortgages. Just your average Americans.😁

As for getting hooked? It sucks, but let's be real—people don't usually spiral after one pill or a gummy.

I’ve lost people in my circle who ended up six feet under, so I get where you're coming from. But you can't lump weed, edibles, and heroin into the same bucket.😉

Stop talking nonsense, that's the nicest way I can put it. A buddy I used to train with was found overdosed in an alleyway dumpster—same story, all because he followed the exact kind of idiotic advice you're backing here. I have a 17-year-old brother in high school; you really think this is some joke?

Mark Perez2 said:Like the title says, I get these veins popping out on my hands sometimes, but it’s strictly from my fingers to my wrist—nothing further, just the palm and back of the hand area. Honestly, it drives me absolutely insane. They bulge up and then eventually recede. I've been trying to figure out what actually triggers them... does anyone have any advice on how to deal with this? I'm seriously considering what might help. Maybe if I start using hand cream more frequently?

This happens to me too. There isn't really a "cure," but whenever I feel it happening, I just lift my hand up to let the blood flow down. That usually clears it up in a minute or two. Why does it happen? No clue. For me, it mostly kicks in when I'm typing away on my computer, usually on my left hand.

Larry Wells2 said:So, I'm writing this because I'm planning on trying drugs for the first time. I'm 17 and a junior in high school. Just a heads-up: don't bother trying to talk me out of it, because I'm going to do this regardless of whatever stupid comments you leave. I guess I've just reached a point where I feel like I've done everything else and I want to try something new. To be clear, I haven't even touched weed yet. I have zero interest in smoking that. But all my friends are into speed now, and now this other friend is pushing us to try cocaine. Money isn't the issue. I'm just stuck on what to actually go with, so I wanted to hear about your experiences. What's the best way to get a real high without being a total zombie for 24 hours? I'm thinking about doing something Saturday night so that by maybe 2 or 3 in the morning on Sunday, I'm somewhat functional, though I still want the experience to actually hit.

I've got a suggestion for you that'll definitely get you "high." Come over here and let me flatten you with a metal baseball bat. Pretty sure you haven't tried that one yet. It'll be an unforgettable experience, and trust me, the feeling will last way longer than just until Sunday morning.

Samuel Ortiz3 said:I totally agree. It’s missing those moments where he loses his cool or when people actually start getting on his nerves. That streak of being a bit of a troublemaker should be just as much a core part of him as his clumsiness is.

By the way, the pacing feels a bit off—there's a lot of dead air. While the TV show can be absolutely hysterical (most of the time, anyway), this movie version just doesn't hit quite as hard on the comedy front.

I totally get it. In the series, you’re just looking at a bunch of random, disconnected sketches. But once you move to a movie, you're forced to string a plot together for ninety minutes straight. You can't exactly pull that off with the way Mr. Bean is written in the show. Honestly, even without a plot, I'm still laughing my head off.

The movie’s good, but they made Mr. Bean way too soft for this one. Same thing happened with the first movie. In the show, he’s clumsy and hilarious, sure, but he’s also incredibly selfish and kind of a jerk. Here, he’s just too likable. Still, it’s worth watching.

The results are already solid. We’re sitting pretty in the top four at the World Cup. After everything we've pulled off so far, this just feels like a much-needed shakeup.

briskdrifter40 said:Michel Platini, the newly elected president of UEFA, has decided to pull back on his plans to overhaul the Champions League, which was actually one of his biggest selling points during the campaign—it’s what helped him secure so many votes from those smaller national federations. While he was out visiting various national associations leading up to the election congress, he had promised to shake up the world's premier club competition by capping the number of teams allowed per country at three instead of four.

Where does it say that?

The idea isn't bad because there’s honestly no reason for it to be bad. It just needs some tweaking. For a 0:0 draw, only the winner of the shootout gets a point; the losers get absolutely nothing.
