  1. First, it's a character ARC. Not an ark or an arch. Seeing that wrong is driving me nuts. I liked how unpredictable this movie was for me. Maybe I'm less clever than I used to be, or maybe it's just that it was very random with large plot holes. Purple Lady: "I'll stay behind to pilot the ship". Next time we see her: Literally standing staring out the 'window' of said ship, doing no piloting... because really, if you need the ship to continue going in a straight line, what piloting is necessary? I do get that she needed to be there for the whole kamikaze part later in the battle to work, but it was a lame reason to stay behind. Can we get a movie from the non-rebels point of view? How about you grow up in a relatively stable civilization, but then terrorists (rebels) destroy the slightly oppressive government (The Empire). Years later, the same terrorists (rebels) are at it again, trying to overthrow the New Order. Will they ever give up?! Or is the universe doomed to rebellion after rebellion for all time? Lastly, can we discuss the "balance" in The Force please? How does this universe equal out the number of Force wielders? If there are 100 Jedi, and two Sith, wouldn't you think that the Force is out of balance, so maybe slaughter all the Jedi (thanks Vader), leaving one or two (Yoda & Obi-Wan) as a balance against the Sith (Palpatine & Vader)? This would be my main argument as to why we don't want a legion of Jedi in this universe... the amoral balance of the Force would require a legion of evil to make all things equal. This is a similar theory to Mr. Glass in Unbreakable causing mass murder events so that the universe will produce a hero to balance his villainy out.
  2. Waterworld - to this day the only boat I want is a Trimaran Troll Hunter - waiting for a sequel.
  3. Zoltan, I've tried this off and on through the years since the book came out and I can't stick to it. I think it just doesn't match with my make-up as a person. 1. Each cheat day I got better at eating more calories. Imagine on a normal day you want some cookies. On a cheat day I want a package of cookies. For one sitting. Then later I want ice cream. I would binge on cheat days. I got really good on binging. 2. The binging on cheat days sunk in and carried over into life after this diet. If I was trying to eat 'clean' that day, eating ANYTHING with sugar turned into a huge binge. Like I couldn't go back to just having some bad snacks but overall eating OK that day. This could work for you though. I think the biggest takeaway from this book is that you can experiment and find what works for you. No matter how effective a diet change is, it will only work if you can stick with it over time, and if the changes are sustainable to maintain your weight once you reach your goal.

  8. Anytime I complete a hard workout then shortly thereafter eat something delicious like ice cream or cookies: "That totally negates your workout". No. Thank-you hamster-like person who only does mindless exercise on a treadmill or elliptical machine to burn calories, but you are wrong. If I only exercised to burn calories, then eating more calories would negate it. If I go run for an hour so that I can be good at running for an hour, and I burn 600 calories, then I go and eat a 600 calorie treat at Cold Stone, my body is still better off in terms of training to run than it was before. If I do 100 burpees, then go eat a pack of Oreos, I will still be better at burpees than I was before the workout. In fact, even if I eat bad food, I can still improve my run times, lifting maxes, rep maxes for bodyweight exercises. That's how awesome the human body is.
