You're on the verge of turning 59?! Yep. I get to retire when I am 60. Yeah! I've been working since I was 12. Babysitting. Climbing 15 ft ladders to pick fruit. Listened to the radio while I did it. Bread was popular. Worked fast food when I was 18. Got married 2 months shy of turning 20. Worked in a laundry for 3 years. Worked at Montgomery Ward for 3 yrs. Got a government job in 1987. Around 2005 hey cut a deal with the union where we can retire at 3% when we turn 60. You tell me how many years I will have by the end of next year X 3%. My child turns 29 later this year. Sorry for your lousy age estimating skills. And your need to demean those with opposing views doesn't speak much, either./ I swear that one shot was cut in. The reaction shot. Sorry, I'm usually sitting across the table at work from people convicted of felonies who are lying to my face. Or are high. They all seem to want it to be over with As I said-press junket. Interview after interview after interview. Then it's done. Then Hemsworth will probably have to do one for Men In Black. Hopefully he gets a break in between to be with his family in Australia. He genuinely seems to adore his family, you know, like all this acting is a means to allow him to do well for them & be able to spend time with them. He seemed similarly subdued on Jimmy Kimmel. RDJ & ScarJo carried that one.

So now it's banter? But you said Thor was taking himself too seriously. No. I said Hemsworth is a cool dude & a gentleman. I said fanboys take themselves too seriously I've mentioned here & on the old IMDb about what it's been like being a female fangirl & listen to guys pontificating as if theirs is the only answer. I used to go to discuss comics with the guys behind the counter. Lots of fun. Why I spend time on the politics board usually-I love debate. Give me a good argument, I'll come on over. I voted for Ronnie Reagan once. Once. I voted for Arnie because he said he could reach across the aisle, then his own side turned on him for it. Who said he was a drunk? He would drink 3 1/2 beers. Always had to open that last can, but never finish. I never got that. And it was before attorneys started prosecuting husbands for raping their wives. It was a man's right to get sex from his wife & her job to supply it on demand He was a typical guy with a 1960's/1970's perspective of a man's place in this world & for all of woman's lib, it was pretty much the norm. It was an era when gals "asked" to be raped by how they were dressed. When attorneys used a gal's dating history & how she was dressed to get their rapist clients off. We were told in church guys were helpless victims of their hormones so we had to always be careful on dates. On the other hand, I get his pension & his social security when I retire next year as his widow. You are so wounded. Like guys never talk about gals. You know, that "locker room" talk the president was saying about women love to be grabbed by the pussy. It was one time in our first year of marriage. I had promised myself to make it to the end of one year. Unfortunately I'm also not a quitter so after a year, I had an investment. How could I leave the life I made & return to my parents? The "beating"? He had a temper. It was always in the car. One quick slug to my upper arm. Is that "beating"? I guess technically it was, but it never seemed like it so I never said anything. It's different when you're in the middle of it, isnt it? My child has worked since age 16. Currently a manager of a game store. Everyone in her district knows her My kid hates children. Isn't ever planning on ever having any. You know, I've always felt we got on pretty well. Didn't we discuss your avatar once? Karloff, right? I probably had one of my kitties. Thor is the orange one I had on IMDb. Loki was the one I had, the upsidedown silver tabby. Now it's an old shot from 1978 of me holding Ringo, a calico.

politicidalSkaatharThanks, guys. I see 3 tired actors who have done too many interviews I honestly have never cared much for Tom Cruise, but one of the DJs on the morning show I listen to is a huge Cruise fan. I think its an identifying thing. They can see themselves as him. Never saw Top Gun which is sacrilege for someone who has lived in San Diego since 1980

So why'd he unfollow her? I looked at his Instagram Don't use it. He's following 344 people? I couldnt see a list, probably because I don't have an account. He honestly doesn't seem that different here. Well yes that is how Instagram works, you cannot view who is following and not following who if you don't have an account, in fact that's how most social media platforms work.

RDJ & ScarJo carried that one. Believe me and others that we are not estimating your age to be so young because of our difference in opinion but because of the way you go about discussing things and how you type on here. I mean you format things a bit oddly and go off to share some pretty random and unnecessary things and are constantly quoting articles or songs some of which do not relate to the topic at all just to try to get your point, which is not always consistent, across. Sorry, but clearly a few members of the cast are not very fond of Brie Larson, and she probably isn't very fond of them, either, and the details are there in the videos and its hard to say otherwise given the number of people who are commenting about it, if its such a non-issue there would be no debate. And yes, her snapping back at Hemsworth over his Tom Cruise remark was uncalled for and fairly ridiculous, it was a compliment but she took it in a different way as an insult of some kind, which is odd given that her experience in doing stunts simply cannot compare with Cruise as the video illustrates. Now if she were anything like your Gina Carano, Zoe Bell, Michelle Yeoh, or Cynthia Rothrok then it would be understandable because those three women actually can say that they can stand on equal footing or higher than Cruise in the stunt work department especially Rothrok, but as such she cannot hold a candle to either of the four. P.S. You've still yet to explain to us how Chris Evans verbally attacking a bunch of high schoolers on Twitter and offering no apology is 'very Cap like', which was asked of you late last month in another thread.

Back in the day we did sexual harassment one year, ethics the next in rotation. One of the ethics classes was taught by one of our background check guys He warned yes, they check one's internet presence so if our My Space page was something like "Spanish Fly", we might not get that promotion we are trying for. In fact, he advised to not even bother having a My Space page. Obviously that was long before Facebook or Twitter or any of that crap. I took the advice. If I want an account when I retire, then I can open one.

Believe me and others that we are not estimating your age to be so young because of our difference in opinion but because of the way you go about discussing things and how you type on here. I don't believe teens speak in the manner I do. I've lived in SoCal most of my life, but I did spend 7 yrs in Utah. I know I don't use a male speech pattern. I was taught to back up my arguments in debate. Yet Jackson was pissed when he thought she wasn't casting him in her film so he seems to het along with her well enough. Who gives a damn about Tom Cruise's idiot devotion to doing his own stunts. Hemsworth is right to let his stuntman do the dangerous stuff. There's a pretty famous story about Burt Reynolds going over a waterfall in Deliverance. When they used a dummy, it looked like a dummy so Reynolds did the stunt. He asked the director after how it looked? Like a dummy going over the falls. I don't care about CGI as long as it looks real enough not to stand out because back in the 70s lots of stunt people were maimed & killed doing practical stunts. Look at the Twilight Zone movie. It's a movie or a tv show. Not worth dying over. I have 324 responses I haven't responded to. Sorry. 322. You were 2 of them in this thread. Long answer. My parents were born around 1930. My grandparents obviously before that, but it means I know what Clark Kent & Steve Rogers are about being good, decent people. People who did the right thing. Teens wouldn't do what that group of teens did. Hell, when I was in elementary in the 60s girls were not allowed to wear pants outside os a pantsuit. High school was a bit more evolved in the 70s. Pants were ok, but no denim jeans. No fucking political crap. No rock shirts. None of that. A school trip such as those kids were on they would wear school uniforms or plain street clothes. The baseball hat qould have been the school name. We had issues then. Schools avoided the issue by not allowing any tshirts protesting the war in Vietnam because yeah, the president was Nixon, then Ford, then Carter. You respected your elders, dude. Even if they were wrong, you said a non-confrontational "yes, sir" or "maam" & got the hell out of there. That made them think you were "a good kid" & actually think well of you. You could be thinking they were stupid old farts in your head, but you kept your manners. Cap has manners. So no. Evans doesn't owe those kids anything. Their teachers messed up allowing political clothing to be worn at a school outing instead of items indicating the school name. Hell, we did school chorus stuff where we represented the school at various places & we wore a white shirt & dark pants because we were a public school with no uniform. So yeah, if they didnt have the political stuff, they probably wouldnt have attracted attention. Their teachers/chaperones should not have allowed the situation to progress. Cap would not support Nazis or the alt-right. You think he would?

That's "Superman/Shazam: First Thunder" As I said, I avoid Social Media. Even our president. Reacting to his Twitter feed is an exercise in insanity. Sorry. The President of the United States shouldn't be tweeting all over. The first time I heard about Twitter was the Daily Show/Colbert Report crossover election show 2008 when Colbert said Twitter is for twits. So I largely avoided that whole bit. The picture of the boy smirking looked very disrespectful. As I said, polite. People leave you alone. Get in their face & argue, they hang around to argue. The adults in charge of the group failed to contain the kids. They should not have allowed any of that to happen. The kids should not have been in that situation. The adults with the school did not protect their charges.

Cap would not support Nazis or the alt-right. You think he would? Well hate to break it to you but you do tend to write as if you are much younger than your claimed age. A lot of the time you don't really back up your arguments you either give a random quote and often provide too much info than necessary to get your point across and often try to illicit a "I'm right, you're wrong and if you disagree you are bad" kind of reaction from readers in attempt for them to submit and it comes across as a little desperate and loyalist to a particular group of person(in this case Larson and Evans). So? Jackson's just one member of the cast, of course not everybody is going to have an issue with Larson but its obvious there who do. Who cares? Well, clearly *you* care enough to have gotten in this discussion and clearly Brie Larson thinks her 'devotion' to stunt work is worth a class of its own than being compared to Tom Cruise which is laughable as she has performed nothing close to what Cruise has acted. The video this topic has in subject would not exist if Larson were not being so egotistical in the first place. No actually Chris Evans *does* owe an apology. He was one of the first people to share the story and give it mainstream notice and directly and indirectly lead to the students, their families, and their school being mocked and being sent threats of violence. When more news came out and the students actually explained the whole situation and how it went down some of those who called them out went back, deleted their initial comments, and apologized like Jamie Lee Curtis. Evans however did not delete his comment or made any apology, he should count himself lucky he is not getting sued by the students and their families for defamation of character. CAPTAIN AMERICA would apologize, but actually Captain America WOULDN'T get involved in such matters nor would he label those kids as monstrous, Chris Evans is NO Captain America - he plays a fine one on screen however, but he is far and away the embodiment of what the character is and stands for, actually Captain America if they were real would have quite a few choice words for Evans.

The adults with the school did not protect their charges. Okay, what did that synopsis have to do with Evans being a jerk and unlike the character he portrays? The whole situation was taken out of context and the students explained what really happened, unlike some people who made rash judgement but later apologized after more information came out Evans did not delete his statement on Twitter and did not issue an apology. Such a rush for judgement and attitude is NOT Captain America like, if you think it is you know nothing of the character outside of Wikipedia articles.

I am not a big fan of compering actors or actresses to other actors\actresses.
Also my guess is that her reaction is probably done as a joke, because she knows childish people will lose their shit when ever she does anything.
