Movies » Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit Movie Review

This movie seemed good at first but pretty much as soon as it starts it falls into the trap of the typical American action suspense nonsense thriller with army dudes chatting about their favorite football teams while flying ‎a helicopter over Afghanistan.   The bad guy is bad for no reason, somebody gets kidnapped and an international terrorist plan - years in the making is unraveled in 2 minutes by contacting dots in an epic monologue.   Everything comes together in a seamless blend of advertisements and stereotypical action sequences timed to perfection.

Nothing is ever really explained and the things that are explained are pointless establishing shots. Weird things happen that make you raise and eyebrow and then 10 minutes later you say to yourself; "oohh so that's why he killed that dude for a lamp bulb!". Nowadays I think movie writers are just thinking of new ways to fool people into watching the same movie.

Rated 6 out of 10. Skip it unless you want to spend an hour watching a pointless spy movie.‎

Food and Eats » baked banana and cake

I am not really sure why you would bake a ripe banana and drown it in sweet sauce because it tastes EACTLY the same as an unbaked ripe banana. To each his own I guess.

There is a strong chance that everything you have done so far and everything you are about to do has already been done. Very few things are truly unique. You are not special. The only thing that matters is what u do now and what happens later as a result of your actions. You are always on a path to somewhere, even if it seems like you are just spinning around.  When the shit goes down you better be ready.

When ever I attend any kind of event I play a game of count the smartphone brand. I always look for the person with the biggest tablet phone and sit behind them so that they can block my view of the stage while they try to take pictures with a small portable television - I wonder if they get HBO. Even on the most cloudy day the sun will come out and scorch the earth with solar happiness and radiation.

Whenever you join a line always try to figure out if there is a chance you might die waiting around for your single order of seasoned fries. Disregard all previous lines, especially if you are trying this line for the first time.  Lines are mysterious beasts.  Focus on the current line at hand and concentrate.  Things might have changed, norms may have been switched around and become commandments in the book of the dead.

Video Games » Old Dreamcast

I bought this like 8 years ago and played tons of 4 player Virtua Tennis on it. Not even to mention a burnt copy of Metropolis Street Racer which had the best sound track I've ever heard in a racing game except for Vice City and Tony Hawk ProS2. Eventually it stopped reading in compact disks. I really need to give this to some body who wants one and is able to fix it. It should be too hard to get it working again.
