I just experienced a crippling pain in my right lung and any attempt to inhale was extremely painful. It went away and now I’m fine. It happens occasionally so I hope that isn’t an issue that I’ll have to spend a ton of money on.

As someone who died of pneumonia caused by a fungal infection in my lungs (I got better). I would recommend a doctor looking into that. My symptoms were a sharp pain in deep inhalation and uncontrollable coughing after exercise. Don’t just stop at the first GP either. GPs are great for entry level diagnosis of common ailments but if you still feel wrong keep pressing. If you feel in any way febrile, if your temperature goes up or down get to ER or A&E.

THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS AN OBJECTIVELY BAD FILM

Just the same as:

THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS AN OBJECTIVELY BAD ICE CREAM FLAVOR

Flavor would be in comparison to a genre or style. I think an ice cream recipe would be a better comparison when speaking of a specific film.

I never thought of it that way 😃 Even better solidifies my point

Marmite flavour?

The Place to Go for Emotional Support

May I add you are making a lot of progress in a very short period of time.
Hopefully you will build on it more over time and look back at the progress you made with well deserved pride.
If you can switch it off a bit that’s some serious moves away from not being able to switch it off at all which seemed to be the state you were in when you first told us about it.

I think I’m on the verge of experiencing another bout of deep depression.

I’m sorry to hear that.
I felt that way after yesterday. Not so much because of the news but because I casually mentioned to someone that perhaps trying to claim exclusive ownership of the recent massacre for the gay types was counterproductive.
So I shifted between being pelted with abuse from affronted persons there and making my usually useless contributions on the politics board here (while doing the laundry etc etc).
I then found out that if I don’t download an app to my phone facebook will possibly delete chunks of my photos. I looked into the app and it wants so much personal data it makes the main site look like anonymity personified.
The internet used to be fun, it’s still fun in places but it’s full of obstacles that are just put there by weird corporate models that probably lose more money than they make. Youtube is more advert than film these days.
So that’s me vented.

Your turn 😃

Not trying to defend 9/11 jokes but some of the best comedy shows and films going were about the second world war and 60,000,000 lost their lives in that.
Comedy should be judged on it’s ability to make us laugh not about what it’s about.
Dealing with a difficult subject requires a bit of sensitivity but if sixty million deaths can be the background for really funny comedy anything can.
Just maybe in more skilled hands.

I don’t like Superman: The Movie either.

Pushing aside all my issues with Clark’s characterization, I still hate everything pertaining to Luthor, Otis, and that dumbass ending.

It’s baffling that it’s a 4 stars on RogerEbert.com. Man of Steel is leaps and bounds ahead of the first superman.

If you don’t like the first Donner Superman, that’s fine. But saying Man of Steel is better? 'Em is fighting words!

Man of steel is deeper, better acted, better characterization (surprisingly enough) all IMO

You need a second opinion 😄

Superman mercilessly killing Zod at the end is just wrong though. Oh wait, wrong movie… Oh wait, no it’s not!!! Damn you Man of Steel haterz, damn you to the Phantom Zone! Remember your history! Never forget the atrocities of the 80’s!

What if I hate MoS for reasons other than the slaying of Zod?

It’s ambiguous but they are thrown down pits (what is it about the late seventies/eighties and caped guys causing pitfalls?) So he could survive any version. Indeed deleted material of them being arrested was included in the television cut suggesting that death was not the intended fate for the terrible trio. That’s a world away from a fist fight causing whole buildings to collapse and a neck snap.
