@Gary A. , my wife and I are (potentially) going to see John Wick tomorrow. I heard that you didn't like it. What was it that you didn't like? I'm trying to figure out if it's worth seeing or if we should see something else instead.
Hey waday. Rotten Tomatoes gave it a high rating. Mary Lou was sorta talking it up all week. This year we haven't been to the movies much because of lack of good movies. Per the reviews John Wick really stood apart from the rest as a good action movie.

It was all action and no real plot with overtones to gangster honor/code . The action was unrealistic and Keanu Reeves sorta ... just plays himself, that Matrix character, unemotional, semi-slow talking action toy.

If you like shoot-'em-ups, if you like watching people at the shooting range unloading their weapons ... you'll love the movie.
 
Anybody want to check my math to make sure I have this correct?

T = L / (S * 1.466667) where T is time to travel a segment in seconds; L is length of the segment in feet; and S is the speed in miles per hour.

So, T = 5280 / (60 * 1.466667) = 5280 / 88.00002 = 59.999986, which is close enough to 60.
Yes, it takes 60 seconds to travel one mile at 60 MPH.

<blah blah blah numbers numbers blah blah blah>

Dude. English teacher.

Hey Leaderboarders. What should I do? I have a Ghost Pepper growing in a planter by the front door. It is doing exceptionally well. Six feet plus tall with fruit. The peppers are rendered useless because they're so jammin' hot. But it is a bit of a novelty and it is useful to threaten others with the fruit. I'm thinking of pulling it?
 
So, I've been doing this today - which has been fun :-)

Little video shoot which, despite what it looks like, has nothing to do with news reading.

Put a single seed in people's breakfast cereal when they're not looking and then and watch for the bite. :fangs:

Thanks for the review! Yeah, my wife and I are pretty selective of movies, as well. My wife read the review, said it looked good, and I just saw the trailer yesterday. It had a lot of action in the trailer, but I was hoping there was a story behind the action.

Then, I guess we won't like the movie.:048: Maybe we'll wait until it comes out on Netflix or to rent for a few bucks. I'd rather save that $50 at the movies for something else.

The internet is full of people flopping around like fish out of water after tasting a Ghost Pepper. Pretty red fruit.

$50 for a move ... you must buy the tub of popcorn.

Wait, what? That doesn't make sense. What's the 1.466667? What are you trying to calculate?
