Pointless Announcements

Hubs got an Amazon refund... I get my new La Sportiva hiking boots this weekend! Woo hoo! If his Martin sells soon, I'll get my pack, too.

 

Martin acoustic guitar?

 

A rash in my groin area has resulted in me going commando, at work, for the first time in my adult life. Random boners have never been more dangerous.

 

Good 80's action film, but it is weak adaptation of a book that has some very deep points and a much more dramatic ending that I would love to see onscreen.

 

As someone who has been going commando since I was a teenager (except when it gets down below 0) the solution is comfortable pants.

 

My internet search for info on the movie indicates that King's (Bachman's) novel is worth reading.

 

I know right?

@borla is so lame....

 

The book was awesome.

I seriously debated whether or not to go see Unbroken now that the holiday rush is over. After reading a large number of reviews, several things were pretty much as I thought:

Those who read & liked the book found the movie severely lacking.

Those who hadn't read the book were divided over the movie.

The choice of Jolie as director was questioned.

There was no real way for a movie, even a long one, to properly cover all of the book. Jolie concentrated on the "exciting" parts of Zamperini's life, while mostly ignoring his life after WWII. The follow-up on the Japanese war criminals after the war makes for some very interesting reading; the officials in charge of pursuing and prosecuting them didn't do a good job of either.

 

I wish I were at home watching birds eat at the feeders on my back porch.

 

You're going to be the cutest little old lady ever!

 

Who's to say I'm not already?

 

It's always about the fan service.
Otherwise it's like reading Playboy for the articles.

 

I remember the vampire high school show there was on episode right in the middle of all the death and destruction where they get to a safe apartment.
The whole show was nothing but the characters getting naked and bathing, trying on clothes, and sleeping together.
Then they went back to killing zombies.
Except for occasional crotch shots when the female characters were killing the zombies that was most of it.
Like they decided it had to be in the show but they would just drop it all in one episode.
