HUSBANDS: WHEN THE WIFE IS NOT AROUND:
I notice a pattern on the Movie Recommendation thread that warrants comment here. Many of the recommended movies feature a strong female lead in what amounts to family or romantic themes. I'm sure that technically some of these are excellently crafted movies, but in my experience, many men just pretend to prefer them to placate their wives! Can you say "Chick Flick?" Men say things to me like, "Well, you know, the wife really likes that kind of stuff, and hey, they aren't all that bad"--a different sort of comment than what they say to their guy friends! Of the Academy-nominated Best Movies, in my experience most men greatly prefer danger movies like "The Revenant" and "The Martian" to, say, "Brooklyn" or "The Room." For many men, a night out with the boys seems to be an important key to a happy marriage. The same no doubt applies to female outings.
Similarly, men prefer men's bridge groups to couples' groups because they get to be themselves in a way that's difficult around the wife, or rather, they get to experience a neglected aspect of their masculine self around other men. Men joke about all the gossip that goes on over the table in women's bridge groups, whereas men's bridge groups are competitive and more serious. E. g. "Why didn't you return my club lead? I signaled you,and they would have gone down, if you had." Women's bridge groups, I hear, generally aren't that confrontationally competitive and often engage in small talk during the play. It's not that the guys are less sociable at such events; their joking and casual conversation just occurs before and after the life and death competition. It amuses me that gender-mixed bridge groups usually have a rule that couples don't play together, because they often get really irritated at each other over perceived misplay!
In the Male Privilege thread, Seeler made some interesting observations about men responding more to men than the women in church discussion groups. Such unconscious interaction patterns would make an interesting topic for controlled psychology experiments. For example, do women pick up on feelings more often in a way that men would prefer not to address? Do men react to aggressive actions more? Or do men respond to men more simply because of gender?

go right ahead -- I'd like to read who you would ca$t :3 the concept was proffered for all to participate (now I have that annoying 'Participaction' jingle going in my head...)
Whit noise ambiance ... or sound bouncing off all the walls for excess resonance? Polity of corruption for the autocrats that say those without should be silent!
i.e. ... awe shut up? Thus that was eliminated, or spiritually denied in a god begging for song and dance in the dark ... Jay Sue 's someone bob 'n across de pool!
Shack eLLe's of the other kind ... a temple in ankh, or stress over humbling to a small point without physical attributes so that one can fit into the timeless ole thing ... a fracture in time as ongoing? Sounds like RIFT to me ...
Physical attributes? Mass and volume as opposed to a weightless booking or being pounded by thoughts ... near nothing of what some affectionate person would like to do wit' yah? Make you crack as mile ...
... winkelle in space ... the woe manly art avoided by those wishing not the fall of gods ... and thus expression of what was opposed t being heard by whar mongers ... omega har-di, or dais'd! Approximates eM role'din clover ... and other things illustrious in word as Luch Eire ... the luck of finding a lost meta phor St? Humble gorse or bush land pigmy to 'Av a goatIT ... funnier than a 2 pronged 'owl of double entendre a force h'M!
When in season the environment can't resist ... and thus much springing up when oppressed ... or type A resonance ... respect fully Ey*ores per haps ocre is somewhat kilned and have baked ... like warm buns ... cheeky Fatima? Off spring of an ole gamma ... char Kohled Nan as silhouette on the Wahl ... aK inda dream?

Thus the trip to Nous War Leans with anima's ... and heh just faded away with faites ... thus it was maid with nothing ... advocate for God?
Some alien and disparate points may have to be connected ... just for grasp!
have some concerns for the hoo kers/K'arias ... they are a delicate bunch ... somewhat gentile compared to the Jude'ans ... who are to be juiced/Jews'd ... powerfully sap'd?
This has to be writ by a Q'd woe mon'o ... Ur out there! Aesthetic distance of the power of penne?

We're going to see Zootopia tomorrow. It's my middle son's bday, and the Disney flick is his choice.

Given my druthers, if I am to be played by Zod I'd go with Michael Shannon. Not that I see myself as being anywhere near tyrannical or sociopathic as Zod.
Plus Stamp is, of a much finer vintage.
I think Nathan Fillion might be a better catch in terms of my range. We'd be losing slightly in aesthetics to be sure.

Funny. I always pictured Brian Blessed playing you. The beard, the sense of humour, the twinkle in his eye. Just seems about right.
As for me, were I to cast myself, I'm afraid I'm just geeky and neurotic enough to be played by this guy:
Though I'd much prefer:
Roddy McDowall, one of the best actors ever to play an ape (no offence to Andy Serkis, who is also brilliant at it). Played chimpanzee scientist Cornelius in three of the original Planet of the Apes movies, his son, the ape leader Caesar, in the other two, and a chimp named Galen who was obviously based on Cornelius in the PotA TV series.

He was also great in Branagh's Shakespeare films (Henry V and Much Ado, at least, I haven't seen the others so not sure if he was in them) and as (fictitious) King Richard IV in The Black Adder (first series of the classic Britcom later known as Blackadder).
Looks like a peeker ... to me similar to a male Leer ... what my wife's late friend said was that observation of a man's be hind stuffed in indigo fabric to simulate jinns ... or the spirit of what she'd like to do to that tall stranger ...

Being a huge Queen fan I thought how can this movie not be excellent.
Having sat through the movie I came up with some answers.
Effects--pretty atrocious.
Acting--very cheesy.
Plot--Swiss Cheese.
It had some redeeming qualities. Blessed as Vultan. Football fight, track 5 from the Official Soundtrack, is a good piece.
The whole notion of such a fight was particularly stinky cheese and I am convinced that it was the inspiration for the Indianapolis Colt's trick play which they ran against the New England Patriots last year. And to the surprise of none in attendence that play was also spectacularly failed to make any kind of sense at all.
... there chi is ... some say the Eis on the cake !
