I don't even have words. I've typed and erased four posts. Just... wow.

I actually stopped being so anal retentive about my logging when I yelled at my husband for not letting me supervise when he was cutting cheese for both of us to snack on. I realized I was getting to a crazy, obsessive, and thoroughly unpleasant headspace. It's not like that for everyone, but whew. I did not like what I…

Did you have to eat all of that to avoid your mom's glares? Granted, I don't think your lunch was that big a deal, but if you were so miserable and didn't want to eat it, why didn't you just stick to the sandwich and fries or something similar? Granted, your mother might be stringent enough to bug you about that, too,…

I can't decide whether I'm more excited about a) the two Dark Tower shirts on their way in the mail, b) mowing my way through a few more Fables trades, or c) finishing the most recent chapter of Wolf Among Us. However, our local branch of the regional comic store chain closed over the weekend. I'm grumpy :(

All these pages and not one Jacka**?! I'm surprised!

Whoa! That much change, that fast? Doc. Stat. Update all when you return so we know you're okay! (If you're comfortable with that.) ETA: Yes, you can get freckles, etc. on your eyes. But that's a BIG change, with other changes around the iris, from what I can tell based on comparison. Even freckles get checked annually by…

Lots of fellow interests! Are you at all a graphic novel person? If you love fairy tales and can give a chance to graphic novels, the Fables series is EXCELLENT. Adding you, and welcome!

I spent the entire hour I had on a Webex discussing on an MFP thread why Channing Tatum ticks me off as the new Gambit.

Oh, I know WHY they do it. I just don't have to like it. This is like when Oprah had "East of Eden" on her book club and I walked into the bookstore to find copies of Steinbeck emblazoned with a "AS SEEN ON OPRAH" sticker. I get the why, but it still burns like a MFer.

Aside from Batman, I feel like DC should start considering just sticking to television shows. While it has its idiotic moments, they've done an overall good job with Green Arrow, and I'm actually excited to see how The Flash turns out.

I love that he just stepped up to the plate and stole all of those movies. Thor 2 was just distressingly awful, with the exception of him. And wtf happened to Natalie Portman in that movie? You could have replaced her with a giant chess pawn and it would have made more sense and been more engaging.

I would give Tom Hiddleston (Loki) and RDJ their own show and enjoy it tremendously. Though I will say-- I actually loved Mark Ruffalo as Bruce Banner. I feel like they started to get him right after some serious missteps. High five.

:laugh: I did not even realize that. Auuuugh.

Yup. I forgot that movie was a thing.

He was okay-- like I said, victim of lazy writing and prepping. But I'm going to pretend that he decided to take a break from show business after being forced to work with Will.i.am. Putting those stupid periods in his name just made me mad.

Come on, now. A wet towel at least provides you with that moment of glee where you realize you can snap someone in the rear with it. Don't insult wet towels.

That's the norm for a lot of movies, but not usually as much with comic movies, unless it "fits" the character. Wolverine's very animalistic, that's his whole deal. There's no shock in seeing him wandering around shirtless or near-nude because it's just kind of who he is. AND he's the main character-- so there's always…

Oh, totally. I think I had pushed that out of my mind a bit, because the minute I saw her portrayal, I thought "Yeah, she's not going to be the right chemistry fit for any Gambit worth his salt." Heh. But lucky for her, she was overshadowed by how utterly awful Halle was. Just... awful.

As A HUGE Gambit fan, I'll try to articulate the displeasure... From the very first X-Men movie, Gambit was teased as a character, but it never came to fruition. We saw some great casting decisions (Patrick Stewart, Alan Cumming) and some terribad casting decisions (Halle Berry), and we saw three movies pass with no…

Channing is much beefier than Gambit is-- while the muscles on Gambit are hyperdefined, in action he's lean and fast. His face is long and lean-- not heavy-jawed. Gambit's features are more angular-- he's foxlike. Tatum's features are squared, heavier, blockier. There's nothing wrong with that, and I don't think movie…

I've seen several people say he has "the look." I think he looks as much like Gambit as I look like the Queen of England. Can you expand a little more on this, since I'm genuinely curious what similarities people see?

:laugh: Perfect.

100% with you on this one. I've been in denial. Gambit's a thief-- quick, roguelike, sneaky. He's not big and beefy. And above all, he's SMART. Very, very smart. Add to that the fact that Channing Tatum does less for me from an attraction standpoint than a giant turkey leg with two beady eyes pinned on, and you have me…

Okay, my "good angel" is on my shoulder scowling at me. OP, this plays one of two ways. The first is what everyone here is saying-- that you are trolling people for fun and attention. The second is the one my good angel is screaming about. If you actually 100% believe everything you're posting here, then I'm gently…

Yes, but would you get kicked out if you brought him to the gym too many times?

Oh, man. Must revisit.

"You're just jealous that you don't have tastebuds, app."

I think my exact reaction was "Hey, phone, remember how when I was shopping for wedding dresses and my mom made a comment about my stomach, I responded by buying a bacon double cheeseburger and eating it while staring at her? I will do that to you right now, and not feel one ounce of guilt or regret. Just delicious…

I loathe this new piece. I was within my macros and calories the other day and it was tossing judgment at me about saturated fat and sodium. Hey there, healthy attitude about food, thanks for coming to hang out! Don't mind my grumpy friend, the MFP app, who sits and mutters "should you be eating that?" every time you pick…
