I liked Wonder Woman.........it entertained me, that's really all I'm looking for in a fictional movie.

I gotta ask. What's the Metamucil for? Does Metamucil in conjunction with alcohol delay or help with the absorption of alcohol when drinking? I know psyllium fiber helps absorb liquid, does it do the same with alcohol?

The phenylalanine ensured adequate fight or flight response when caught watching the squiggly porn.

Alcohol (ETOH) is a direct irritant to the gut and raises all manner of hell to the GI tract. ETOH is also one of the few things that is absorbed directly from the stomach. That is why drinking on an empty stomach can get you that buzz a little faster, and the pros count on this with drinking as soon as they regain consciousness (FWIW, Alcoholics don't really sleep all that well ). Alcoholics also tend to forget to eat. One of the results is more ultra soft to liquid stools. The Metamucil can help reduce diarrhea experienced by the chronic excessive drinkers.

Because of the constant bowel irritation, the gut has trouble absorbing vitamins, the B complex in particular. Vitamins and other nutrients are not picked up and wind up in the toilet. One of the multiple treatment goals for patients being treated for excessive ETOH intake is the administration of B vitamins, by injection at first because of the bowel irritation.

Thank you doc. Explanations like the above are why grunts love their smart medical people.

Sorry for the hijack everyone.

I searched to see whether this was posted before, but haven't found it. I'm making my way through the 3 part "five came back" on Netflix.

Thirteen of the WWII documentaries shot by William Wyler, John Ford, Frank Capra, George Stevens and John Huston are also available on streaming.

There is a lot the present generation has not seen and does not understand. We can learn from looking back at WW II. The question is will they take the time to learn and understand?

Not likely, IME. The perception of war for the American public seems to lie in video games, pictures, movies - a means of understanding that are a step removed.

I don't know that many people now have a sense of what it means and what the folks they send off to fight go through, and how poisonous of an experience it can be.

Anyhow, thanks for the heads up on these, @Frank S. We can use Netflix for something other than kids cartoons!

Life is real when the cycle repeats itself because humans are stupid.

Re-watched for the umpteenth time The Edge. Always thought this movie was under-rated. Great story of survival and never saying, "I quit".

Any film role that makes Alec Baldwin look bad, inadequate, a sleazeball scumbag, sneaky backstabbing coward, etc., etc., is a film that is .

I forget which one, because there are like 20, of the Baldwin Brothers is very pro Trump and religious. Night and day.

It may be Stephen who was in "The Usual Suspects". He has had time in rehab and some of the interviews I have seen were nothing like Alec.

As an aside, "The Usual Suspects" released in 1995, had production delays directly attributed to Kevin Spacy's sexual proclivities. He has been well known for his sleazy side for a loooong time.

Spacey is/ was a very good actor, what a waste of talent and oxygen.

Yeah, I agree. One of his most memorable roles was as the late Bobby Darin. IIRC Spacey did most if not all of the vocals. It is such a waste.

I wonder when the criminal charges will start showing up. Careers have been ended, and that is a good start, but these guys need some prison time in the general population. That is where the real payback starts.

Bill Cosby may pass before he pays his dues. It doesn't really seem to go anywhere with celebs.

Wonder Woman 2 news...the villain has been casted. I’m thinking body paint for the costume.

Wonder Woman 2 director Patty Jenkins confirms Kristen Wiig will play villain Cheetah but the Internet isn’t quite sure
