It’s a helpful diversion.
You get your partner to catch you watching this and s/he says: My God, you’re watching a movie that doesn’t have a huge jacked guy as the lead!
And you can say: I’m not some one dimensional caricature, you know.

I confess Cate Blanchette gave a hard on in every scene she was in.

I had a near cinematic orgasm when Thor got his lightning powers and The Immigrant Song started playing. One of the greatest fucking scenes in Hollywood action movie history.

People who whine about Marvel movies other than Captain Marvel and Thor Dark World solely based on them being “corporate products” don’t know balls about good filmmaking. Which doesn’t mean they aren’t corporate products. They could have hired a hack like Zack Snyder to direct all their movies if they wanted to but they didn’t. Instead, they took a risk with GOOD filmmakers. They hired Kenneth Branagh for Thor 1 ffs. Kenneth fucking Branagh - the Shakespeare guy. DC finally got it when they hired James Wan(The Conjuring, the second last Fast and Furious movie) for Aquaman.

Black Panther was a passable movie. The fact that it was nominated for an Oscar was a travesty and an insult to anyone who has ever made a film. There, I said it.

The greatest fucking scene in action movie history belongs to Team America.

I haven’t watched it. Is the movie worth watching or should I just look for the scene on youtube?
Dude, that movie is worth watching twice. Watch it tonight. Preferably with a drink on hand.

Since we’re talking about movies, I wonder why people hate WW84? I thought it was nice. Not as nice as the first, but it touches on some great themes. Although…
SPOILER ALERT (kinda)
I liked the idea about the female antagonist going against Diana, but where they took it just kinda sucked for me. The other antagonist also didn’t feel that much of an evil threat.
Taking 10 minutes to rearrange everything in the dishwasher so two extra things will fit is a far more effective use of time than taking 60 seconds to handwash those items (and I don’t want to hear blasphemy like leaving them for the next load)

She’s 47 years old in that film and looks amazing.
But it’s her attitude as the character as well.

I got bored after around half an hour and turned it off.
Currently completing the best night cap ever.
Double scoop protein shake and 3 mega stuffed Oreos.

You must be gay.
Thank you for remembering the spirit of this thread. And I’m pretty sure that, as long as you get the protein above the carbs, it counts as a “muscle building meal”

Took everything to stop at 3. I’m not ashamed to say the Oreos are by my bed. In a bag. There is more candy in that bag.

I confess to watching other lifters in the gym who I assume are either new or have been spinning their wheels for a log time and often laughing internally at how they train and the exercises they choose.
You missed your calling as a 308 geared powerlifter dude. You have the instincts!

Something I’ve remarked about before, but still always an interesting observation: ever notice how practically NO ONE in a commercial gym is breathing hard? No one in the weight room, no one in the cardio station area, etc etc? When I train in my home gym, I’m all profanity and panting, but when I get out in public I can’t find anyone that is in a similar way. It’s so weird how folks think they’re going to affect physical transformation WITHOUT effort or exertion.

My son is Covid+ (he’s asymptomatic, thankfully), and has been self-quarantining at his home in another part of the state. On Christmas Day he sent us a short video of him walking with a buddy, shot from behind them. I thought this was odd given his covid status, but they were 10+ feet apart (as was the cameraperson behind them), and they were outside, so OK.
Anyway, what caught my eye was his friend–dude had absolutely no calves. Poor bastard, I thought.
That’s when I realized my son was sharing a video shot on Christmas day of last year, when he was home. Three guesses as to the identity of the poor bastard with no calves who was walking with him…

I have a pole by the row machine I use to brace myself while waiting for the clock to strike 60 seconds… so they are out there in the wild!
What sucks is seeing those bros all casual and never breaking a sweat yet look fucking sweet.
Definite proof of the value of submax training, but anything worth doing is worth OVERdoing!
