I've had the grape and regular flavors in the past but haven't seen this one before I think.
It's really sour apple, but it wasn't too bad. Heavy on the apple flavor and a little light on the sour, but overall, the best of its line.
Still nothing beats Ghost, but you never know unless you try something new every once in a while right?
Have a good weekend folks!
This one was a sci-fi-spy-action movie with a musical number included for whatever reason.
I don't know how this movie got made. Nor WHY.
Megan comes back from the dead (her program will forever live on) and this time she's given a new body to stop another AI robot (who worked for the government before going rogue) from taking over the world.
Megan even sings a song in the middle because....the writer never thought they'd take his script seriously in the first place.
For real. This sounds like those movie pitched you here about, that are unbelievable. (i.e. Kevin Smith's story about how they wanted Superman to fight giant robot spiders in his fortress)
But they really made this movie folks. And it's really out there for everyone to see. Exactly what we're supposed to be seeing, I don't know.
It wasn't bad....or maybe it was and I was intrigued but the sheer lunacy of it all? I'm not sure.
Either way, if you plan on watching this circus....hang out, because it's a crazy ride.
This movie is smarter than you know. Brilliant moments that they don't spoon feed the audience on. If you're paying attention, you'll know them. I was even shocked by how smart the movie made connections without alerting you with call backs from earlier moments in the film where you would've understood certain scenes better.
It's an incredible film all around.
If you've never seen it before, you're doing yourselves an injustice. And if you have....time to go back and watch it again.
It's just that good.
Parv is STILL the strongest competitor in the game. I think at this point, it may be too late to get rid of her but we'll see.
Excellent.
Spicy but not overwhelming. The right amount of heat and zest. Loved it.
I recently had it again. Fast food should take note and do more things like this.
It's not just the heat it brings, but the flavor too.
Good job Wendys....good job.
It's INSANE how this season has given no quarter to previous winners. Those have been the first to go. BUT when it comes to Parvarti, who's won the game and made it to the end the other times....everyone is blinded by her stardom and take the knee to her. Obeying her every whim.
Incredible. Parv has the best chance out of anyone to run away with this without anyone getting in her way. She's unstoppable now. Unless someone wakes up SOON, it's in the bag for her.
From here on out, it's anyone on Team Aussie.
Just watched it.
Not bad.
I still prefer the moments where they're playing the game. All the other stories weren't interesting at all. Yes, it tried to pull on your heart strings from time to time. I guess it's a satisfying ending to the series, but at this point I wish it'd only gone one season and ended things there. The first season was the best and if ever someone asked me about this show, I'll tell them to watch that and just stop afterwards.
I really enjoyed these episodes. Even the ones I wasn't as familiar with because I felt so connected to the decade. Each episode sent me back in time. It was great. Any child of the 90s would love this series.
Ok folks, that's it for this week. Have you watched any of these shows? Which ones did you enjoy the best? Let me know in the comments below and have a great weekend!
I know just about every comic they featured and so far have enjoyed each episode. Even on the high profile comedians I feel they really did their due diligence to come at information from a different perspective that what anyone else had done before.
In fact, there's only one other show from this series I thought was better and I'll talk about that one tomorrow...
If you're a fan of the decade, this is a no-brainer for you.
Man, what another excellent episode. With George exposing Kirby in front of David like that, yet STILL remaining in the game! I've never seen a player like George. He walks around blowing up his game at every step yet STILL manages to go far in the game. And I think this one will be another instance of where he won't go home.
It's good to see Tony realizing that Parvati and her faithful minion Cirie are not to be trusted. Hopefully he can gather the votes to get them off, but I think he'll for sure go before either of them do. My last person to root for on Team World will soon be gone, I'm afraid.
On the Team AU, Luke is now my the one I'm rooting for most to win. But at the rate things are going, all of my favorites are being picked off, one by one.
Looking forward to the next episode!
My love for football in general has waned over the past 5 years. I never watch it anymore and even when I did it was only at the college level. So this show was one I saved for last because I had the least amount of interest in. And watching it, I feel it's the worst one so far.
I admit, the subject didn't interest me much but the topics...the topics weren't good at all. I'm sure there were lots of troubled football players over the course of time but I guess they decided not to document them because it's been done so many times over the years in other series.
Even IF you're a football fan, I'd doubt you'd like this. This is the worst one of the bunch #5
I can't believe it. That Rob would blow up his own game was never something I thought I'd see. He went after Parvati. Dumb mistake. Everyone ALWAYS chooses Parv over the other player. His game was DOA after that.
He was SO in control during his season, I thought he'd play the game smarter. He went too hard in the game. I think it's a mistake to vote off you're strongest player so soon. Team World is shooting themselves in the foot and that's ok. Besides Tony, I care for none of the others now.
Lisa becoming a lap dog for Cirie was soul crushing. She's not a champion, she's a fan.
We'll see what goes down in episode 2.
Ok, I'm about to watch the first episode of this and give spoilers for EVERY episode after watching.
THIS is my Super Bowl. THIS is my Avengers movie.
I love Survivor. I love Australian Survivor even more and now that it involved the World....I'm so in.
So let me make a run down of each contestant and I'll tell you what I think of each one.
David (Team AU): This is the Golden God. He's played twice and won once. But it was the best season of any Survivor I've ever seen. He was flawless in his moves, when to pivot, blindside, etc. But because of that, he has no chance of winning this season. I'll be rooting for him for sure.
I remember hearing about this back in the day but never knew how his story ended. Or how he even became Mayor in the first place.
This doc tells all. It's a pretty good story too! On the surface, he seemed to be a nice guy, but also acted like a frat boy who never grew up.
Anyway, I'll be looking out for more of these to pop up on Netflix in the future for sure.
Have a good weekend folks!
Even though this company was hot 10 years ago, I've never heard of them before watching this documentary. (which should tell you how out of tune I was with the latest fashion)
This company sky rocketed to stardom only to fail epically during the 2008 recession and end up with their CEO being accused of awful acts with female employees. Its another episode where they don't end up paying for there actions.
A company that hired young kids, were basically run by young kids with a middle-aged man manipulating them the entire time.
What was crazy was that whenever someone got promoted to the top ranks he gifted them the book of manipulation HE was using on them but NO ONE in the company bothered to read the book because they were dazzled by all the other fancy rewards they were given.
SO NUTS!!!
It was fun finding out about this and crazy (to me) that all this time, I've never heard of the brand. (that doesn't exist anymore)

Wow. Another massive live music event that ended in tragedy. Only this time, it only went one day before getting canceled and killed 10 people in the process.
Insane!
I don't think I'll ever go to a music festival in my life. People are CRAZY! This one has the least amount of "on the scene" footage but still shows enough to keep you engaged throughout the entire tale.
It's also one where I think the people in charge, didn't end up paying for there actions.
Wild stuff for sure.
And a few "firsts" as well!
First off, this was the longest game I'd ever played. Clocking in at over 6 hours, it was aggravating how many times players sat there without a clue as to what their next move was when I was thinking 5 moves ahead each turn. My turn took 30 seconds to execute, it was an average of 10 minutes for the others.
My nephew was running away with the lead the whole game and would've won but someone took his home planet, blocking him from scoring.
It opened up the game for me to make a big move, scoring 4 points in one round and moving into a tie for first.
Panic set in as the other 6 players did NOT want to grant me the win (since I'd won Spartacus the day before) so a "Support for the Throne" card was played, giving my other nephew (not the one in the lead previously) the last victory point he needed to defeat me.
I don't mind losing that way. To be honest, he may have beaten me in the next round without the free point, but it was expected since I knew they were dead set against me not winning back to back game days.
I may be retiring the game for the rest of the week. Still have another game I brought to the beach I'd like to get played a few times before the week is thru. Either way, this was another great game.
I remember hearing about it in the news all the time back then, but once again, had no idea how bad it really was.
Out of all the Trainwreck docs I've seen, this is the one with the least amount of "ick" although....its speaking about human waste seeping out of every inch of the ship so.... yeah, that kind of "ick"
Still, worth watching if you ever wanted to see actual footage from the cruise.
Incredible experience.
Tomorrow....Game #8 for Twilight Imperium.
The first one, I remember hearing about when I was in college. It was my senior year and I knew when this had all the hype around it. To be honest, I also had no interest in going but I remember it being all over the news.
The only thing I remembered was they kids set the stage on fire on the last day and the police were called in. But watching this...I had no idea what really went on.
It's wild seeing styles from my college days once again and thinking "I knew someone who looked just like that" But when you hear some of the awful things that went on, it was really hard to watch.
I know if I ever would've been dragged to such a thing, I would've left by Day One. No matter what musical artist were playing the rest of the weekend.
Either way, if you remember this time in history and wanted to know more...viewer beware. It's much worse than what you remember.
I haven't had it in over 20 years but finally got a chance to try it out.
Not bad. To be honest...it was very good and I will get it again. I was really shocked because pizza that comes out of a gas station usually isn't something to scream about, but with them it is.
Honestly, it's cheaper and WAY better than anything you can get at Little Caesars, so from now on, I'll probably be buying it for the family going forward.
Have a good weekend folks!
Hence, with a rule change that went heavily in his favor, the power swung immensely his way and he had the game locked after the 2nd round and I knew it.
I informed all the players that the game would only go 3 more rounds and that I would continue to teach them the game within those final rounds. (the rest of the players were new)
My nephew decried my prediction, yet in 5 rounds....the game was over.
He won't be getting away with such a sneaky rule ever again. I'll make sure of it next time. He knows it too, he was just waiting on the time to punch that ticket. Hope it was worth it. I'm going against him for the rest of the year because of it.
Pretty dirty to take advantage of new players like that, but the choice was his to make.
This movie looks great, has an interesting premise....and falls completely apart in the end. It's supposed to be a twist you're supposed to go nut over but instead you find yourself asking the question "Why?, "What's the point?" and "Where's the payoff?"
Terrible second half that freezes the character development of everyone involved and leaves you caring about nothing in the end.
Hard. Pass.
Just like those sunglasses....I was crushed.
They don't make free cheap made-in-Taiwan shades anymore.
The 3 contenders left in the end were myself and my nephew with 8 and my youngest nephew with 9. BUT he had Mecatol Rex and got first pick at the cards, which meant he could claim 8 and on his turn, win the game.
Everyone wanted to go ahead and call the game but I told everyone we needed to vote first.
The first vote was a nothing burger, most people passed but in a 1-1 tie, the Speaker appointed and winner and drew the next law to vote on.
It was a victory point.
My youngest nephew had been gloating the entire time of his impending victory, so it didn't matter to him if they gave me the point because I would only be at 9 when he claimed the final point in the next round.
That's when I turned to the group and asked if anyone would give me Support to the Throne (worth 1 vp) and elect me to receive the point that was up to vote. Thereby giving me 10 before the last round even started.
It worked.
I was at 9 and got elected to receive 10 BUT my sneaky nephew had an action card which allowed him to elect himself instead. He played it and retained his victory.
I've never had that much excitement during the Political phase. Incredibly game.
Looking forward to at least 2 more while I'm on vacation.
The most I've played this game in a shingle year is 10. Pretty sure (if things go well over vacation) that I can at least tie that number by the end of the year.
I didn't. Actual...I hated the show in the 80s. I thought it was so stupid. The movies I enjoyed however.
Anyway, this was filmed months before his death. He never told them he was dying either and he never finished this interviews. Informative and a different look at the man Paul Reubens like you haven't seen him before.
Get off the road.
Why do you think it's a good idea to be driving on the road? Just because your stupid bike has an engine the size of my left nut doesn't mean it's road worthy. You're jamming traffic and being a nuisance.
If you want to make extra money on the side with Uber, then invest in a road certified automobile to get you around.
I'd wing you with my door but the damage to my car wouldn't be worth it.
But if I ever win the lottery....I'm coming for you....doors out.
You've been warned.
Lame. The Hero's ability was even worse in that you discard him to gain ONE tech upgrade that another player has. (so.....just like the Necro Virus but limited to a once in the game ability)
Really terrible race.
Good news is, this game also carried a lot of "firsts" for me.
One was that I got War Sun technology for the first time since I've bought the fourth edition of the game! I didn't use it, but at least I had it thanks to my pathetic "Hero" action.
I also got to play "Kingmaker" in the final round when it came down to 2 people for the win (not me) I gave it to one of my nephews with the promise of "Support to the Throne" in a future game when my race had no chance of winning.
I don't mind losing with a pathetic race, since it's a random draw, in fact, I WANT the worst races in this expansion to see if I can find any path to victory. But when other races have the following abilities:
1) Discard an action card to ready any planet
2) Explore every planet (at least twice, sometimes more) in the game
You really don't stand a chance. Those 2 races had the led the entire game. I was second with 6 points and I was pulling out all the stops. I owned just about all the galaxy and the only way to defeat me in the Agenda Phase was for everyone else to pull together all their planets (which totaled 48 to my 47 influence points) to stop me.
Oh, and by far that was the most planets I've ever captured in a game and I'm thinking it's got to be some type of record. Unprecedented. But remember, I was in SECOND (or third at the end) the entire second half of the game.
There was just no stopping those overpowered races.
But I'm glad I got to see a few more factions from the expansion in action. You can read these abilities but it doesn't give you the full perspective of what they can do until you see them in play.
Anyway, next game is scheduled for tomorrow, so I may give another update later this week.
I don't go crazy either. Not many deserts, just the occasional soda and even those (with the exception of Pibb Extra) are zero sugar.
But....no difference. Even some nights I hardly ate at all AND I've been adding cardio every evening at the gym as well.
Am I done? I'm not sure to be honest. The plan was to stay on this until vacation (which officially starts tomorrow) but I'm so used to eating on the clock that I may keep it anyway. I'm not gaining weight either, which is a plus.
But other than that, I think this diet is another dud.
Have a good weekend everyone!
