I think it's the best live action spiderman movie. Who new the Punisher could pull through as a comedic supporting actor?

I feel like I should be a bigger John Bernthal fan, but I usually just feel like I am watching an actor act.

I’m not sure BND replaces Spider-Man 2 as the overall best Spidey flick. I should rewatch that.

And if you open the plastic containers of fruits or berries to sample them, I wish plague and pestilence on your family and all future generations. And I hope you die a slow painful death in a car crash involving a fruit delivery truck.

Does that make me a bad person? Because I’m okay with that.

This made me want to see more of that duo but I can see it being overdone as well. I also wasn’t particularly looking forward to Doomsday. Now I am.

No, you're perfectly sane.

And while you're at it, please imprison all of the 85 year old pricks taking their sweet time in the passing lane

If you’re gonna make omelettes, you gotta break some eggs.

I like it a lot. The last scene was bonkers though.

I'm easing into it. Both episodes had bonkers endings. The show had a lot of interesting directions it could go.

See it in theaters. AMC is half price Tuesdays and Wednesday for you cheap f***s!

I am convinced that Lanterns 2 needs to be centered around Guy Gardner. Watching him and Hal chew up each scene has been a blast.

I think the next two episodes are gonna be some of the best writing in the DC universe so far!

Or, a monumental disappointment!

Saw it last week because AMC gave me a free large popcorn and soda.It is surpringly entertaining, with a good blend of comedy and horror.

Holy shit, that’s like a $50 value!

I started commuting to work for exercise about 8-10 miles daily in April. I'm 55 and I'm a guy who from 13-40 rode a bike everywhere. I used to mountain bike and road bike in NYC, but I don't feel capable of doing that now. I had a 20 year old Specialized Hard Tail and just got a Canandale Quick 6 for daily commuting. Yet, I think I want to get a dedicated gravel bike and commit to intensive weekend rides. Any of you guys into cycling ?

I have a mountain bike that I haven’t used in 20 years. In the age of Amazon and DoorDash and cell phones I would fear for my life if I ever busted it out and took it for a ride.

I nearly get hit by a car on a weekly basis just walking my dogs.

As far as my stationary bike, I have no excuse for not getting on that.

Have you had any near-death experiences on the road?

No near death experiences that I recall. I lost about 20lbs riding from May- 26 until September 26 and my A1C dropped to 5.6 as well. Last week I had surgery on my L5/S1 to finally treat bilateral sciatica and I am recovering. Surgery went without a hitch and hopefully I'll be much better in a month or so. Guys, ride your bikes instead of sitting at home for half hour a day. It also does wonders for stress and anxiety. Half an hour is about 5 miles at 10mph, go get started.

Holy shit, Alpha! Good job! And speedy recovery! Sciatica is some wicked bullshit. The human body is a friggin' disaster waiting to happen.

I'll be ready for opening night. Two years ago I was 255 and now I'm 205. Hopefully, I'll be pain free and able to bike some more. I stick to bike paths as much as possible. In the last six months I purchased two bikes. First, an inexpensive hybrid for 5 mile rides like 8xs a week. And a entry level road bike for a longer weekend ride of about 2hrs. I'm 55 and when I'm on a bike I feel 25 again. Its my hobby. I don't use clip in peddles or lycra for now, anyway. I also want to take a Salsa and Bachata dance classes with my wife who is a dancer who accepted being with me a non dancer. I also have Parkinson's and cycling and dancing improve motor skills, balance, and raises mood. Time for us to be as athletic as we can be and in this way share in the lives of our beloved basketball players in a small way.

Man,I was dealing with Sciatica for maybe like a third of the year. Then the pain relocalized to my back and about a weak after that it disappeared. I noticed it was gone the same day I was having surgery to remove a cyst.😅I still kinda feel it at times, but the leg pain is no longer an issue.

Good for you. Mine was a narrowing of the area housing my nerves due to arthritis and it did not improve over three years of PT, medications, chiropractor care, and an injection. I put off surgery and after getting the surgery, I realized it was a year overdue. Do exercise and make sure your glutes, hamstrings, lower back, and core are strong and flexible. Romanian deadlifts, glute bridges, back extensions, core work with an ab wheel, and cycling/walking/low impact aerobics are essential. Plus, stretching and massage. If you one day need surgery don't be afraid see a surgeon.
