Cann anyone suggest any asian boys love series or movie? thanks in advance
You're talking anime, right?
My all-time favorite is

It's not just one story but several. There are, I think, two movies plus a serial anime. It's worth watching.
Btw, I stopped at season 8. How did Sheldon and Amy's first sex experience go?
Just once a year, as per the revised contract. But as the season's progress they're getting into it more. And there's a wedding in the air…
If I can reimagine any existing character, then my vote goes to Bucky. Basically because I want to see Sebastian Stan as a gay man ;D
That would fit. Since they've both been frozen, essentially time traveling to the future, Bucky could realize that the fondness he felt for Steve was more that a bromance.
That could work really well.
And my main vote would go to Captain Marvel largely because she'd be a new inclusion to the universe, a main player, and one of the strongest heroes. The downside is that some people would say that we're equating lesbians with masculinity. Fuck 'em.
@Adam, when a hospital charges 78,000 dollars (or 5000 in my school's case), where does that money go? Doctors aren't that rich. Seems like someone's getting a larger piece of the pay than they deserve.
udents anyway.
Wait, are you saying the insurance companys don't actually pay that large amount?
Insurers pay MUCH less than the bill you receive in the mail. A $5000 charge to you would probably be paid at around $400 by an insurance company.
What? :blink:
Then why do hospitals make a big show of putting those super high costs on our bills, well, your bills. One step in making the healthcare industry seem less evil would be to show them charging less.
About a different universe, did you watch The Inhumans?
We're getting off topic, but to answer your question, No. Is it any good? I find Anson Mount ruggedly sexy
TBH, he's outta shape for Blackbolt. You can see a little belly in some scenes. Having him be utterly silent is a mistake. They need to establish that he's either able to communicate telepathically or his sign language needs to really step up, or even a technology fix. As it is, he looks at someone and they understand complex thoughts. It's…a questionable choice.
Back to the Batman, who is the most convincing Bruce Wayne and do you think that matters in the characterization of the Batman?
are can be fixed very easily. We need to have a public option. A state run health plan would force costs down because most people are going to choose the public option. This isn't unheard of. This is exactly how Medicare operates. 85% of people on Medicare choose the public option. Medicaid operates the same way in my state (and a few others). Most people choose the public option there too but I do believe there are benefits to the private plans.
1. Private businesses/companies shouldn't be allowed to give their employees healthcare as a perk.
2. The state should have its own health plan (I'm guessing this is how Medicaid/Medicare work)
3. The federal government should operate a public option that individual businesses can pay into rather than pay for their employee's healthcare themselves.

Almost nobody pays the cash price. Insurers reimburse at MUCH lower rates. I wouldn't have paid the money. They would have treated the students anyway.

@Fred, there was a case many years ago in which a policeman was refused a job because he was too smart. The reason is that police work is dull and will bore a sharp mind. He went to court and I believe won.
When you start talking about the abuses by the police – and there are many -- I would ask you then to rethink your stance on kneeling during the NFL. The protest started because Kaepernick wanted to draw attention to what the police have been doing to black people in the US. Trump changed the message to disrespecting the flag/vets.
In light of what you think about the police, what do you think of the kneeling protest AND Black Lives Matters in the context of a reaction to police abuse?
whats the best film for 2017?? :police:
based on your watch
I loved Wonder Woman. I flew to Taiwan to see it (because it opened here in Japan late August).
Of course, there were many more artistic films that hit with a punch like the now infamous Mother or the war epic Dunkerst even Kimi no Na wa (Japanese film). But the only film I paid to see three times was Wonder Woman.
I have mixed feelings.
My big problem, pardon the pun, Why the HELL isn't Lucifer bisexual?
He is. We've seen him ONCE with a man. He's talked about it before.
My guess is that the network is already taking a chance with the devil as a good guy. Alternatively, gay/bi people might be offended if they equate gay sex as being of the devil.
Personally, I've grown to like the show.
I'm going to be disappointed with the series if Lucy doesn't finally tell Chloe the truth. The joke of her not knowing has gone on long enough.
To prepare, I watched a few of the original 1980s episodes that were run on Showtime prior to the new ones being rolled out. Had forgotten so much!
Planning to binge the 18 new episodes in 3-4 consecutive nights.
Heard that due to so-so ratings, there's no "Season 4" in the works. :cry2:
I'm glad. We didn't even need Season 3.
I've enjoyed what I've seen. Honestly, I've stopped. Episode 8 was an art project and didn't really belong to the series, imo. I LOVE art but what he did was too over the top for television turning even me off, at least for a while. I will continue to watch it. Eventually.
Another problem is that they're taking the joke about the agent not being able to speak, not knowing how to act too far. It's gone beyond ridiculous to its own trope. In real life, he'd have been in a CAT scan. THAT might have added a new dimension, the realization that there's something not the same from the last time he went for a checkup and now.
I hope they tie up all the lose threads at the end. I hope they aren't hoping to revisit this in 30 more years.
With the recent release of "The Defenders" on Netflix, and the release date for "The Punisher" getting closer and closer, was just wondering how excited everyone was for his return.
Since Netflix and Marvel ruined both Ironfist and The Defenders, I'm not excited at all. I'll download it and watch it later on. If I happen to hear rave reviews, I might watch it sooner but I do not have high hopes.
My impression is that they see The Punisher as a money maker. If that's right, his story didn't have enough development time and this will be more shit pushed through the system.
[Speaking of Madam Gao…]
I agree with everything you said. I want to add, however, that I loved Madame Gao during Daredevil S1. She was so casually heartless, filled with helpful, but cruel observations about everyone. Loved it. And just when I thought I couldn't love her any more, she goes and hits Daredevil so hard that he flew across the room! When I saw that, I jumped up and screamed "OHMYGOD! She's from K'un Lun!!!!!!"
…..so of course the Iron Fist show comes along and makes her seem weak and powerless, and the Defenders comes along and makes her POINTLESS!!!A good plot idea, but they'd never do it. Think about how the Marvel movies and shows bend over backwards to avoid offending the masses.
Yeesh! For someone who keeps saying they could go on and on, this thread sure is making me go on and on.
If you do ever want to go back and read something comic book related, there's a very interesting arc in DC now where they're bringing over The Watchmen into DC continuity. I'm saving up the issues for a cold winters night 'round Xmas – I need my own form of Xmas cheer.
(Imagine me as a chorus of old black women, hands waving in the air as you preach on about what they did to Madam Gao. Amen!)
I wonder if you'll agree, for me, Marvel is the kid-friendly version of comic books. Marvel is the candy cigarettes they used to sell to prime them for later addiction. In this way, their plots are not just kid-friendly, the color palate bright, the stories about absolute good vs evil. Parents set their children in front of an Ironman DVD and left the room. These people are are growing up into the DC haters who can't accept the nuances that could exist in a cinematic/live-action universe.
DC, by contrast, perhaps because Batman became their main face, doesn't wrestle with wholesale good vs evil (anymore). Superman is nuanced. Wonderwoman had to let go of her childhood ideals. Criminals aren't all bad, have hopes and regrets.
For me, Marvel is largely for kids, DC aims for an older audience; Marvel's movies will eventually be outlived by DC's because DC is focusing on character development over special effects (which always get upgraded).
My fix for healthcare is to prohibit employers from offering insurance. The employers are an unnecessary middle man who only drive up costs. Let everyone buy their insurance individually. This will force insurers to actually compete for customers and drive costs down.
This would hurt me personally as I work for a large hospital system and pay almost nothing for healthcare.
For instance, my dad's 2 day hospital stay with just a 1 hour procedure was billed to medicare for $78,000. Even though my dad paid almost no part of that $78,000, he still bitched about the $30 co-pays to visit specialists, and the $15 / month cost for one of the medications. Imagine if he got stuck with the tab for $78,000!!!
Governments and corporations won't stop meddling in the insurance game.. however.. I have an idea that is along those lines…
It gets to be a sick joke. At many Optician places, they have a selection of frames to choose from which are about $60. They have a separate selection of frames which are virtually identical to the $60 frames, only they are for people with insurance coverage and they cost $350 and up! I call that fraud and gouging, but since the consumer doesn't feel the hit directly, nobody does anything about it.
Trivia: Did you know John Lennon's iconic glasses were standard issue from the British healthcare plan? :cool2:

@Fred, governments NEED to get lobbyists out of Washington. That's the first step in the right direction to unwed the two.

Now that you mention it, that's how Japanese healthcare works. It's paid automatically from my employer to the government (like Social Security in the states).
Do you think that will ever happen, the perk of health care given up for a government system?
I didn't see a movie today or yesterday but I usually go to the cinema once a week. :cool2:
TPBM can cook what very well?
Popularity of tattoos has risen in tandum with various other forms of body modification: piercings, body-hair removal, and scarification.
What had been the rebellion of one generation (punks in the 70s) became a marker of 'cool' and then became the norm for the next generation.
Are you saying there's one unbroken line from the 70's to today?
It feels like an on and off thing to me. Cool in the post-war 50's, not cool after; cool/rebellious in the 70's, an eyesore in the 80's; the 90's began a trend towards body mods and somehow later on tattoos got involved and –BOOM! -- tattoos all over my porn.
Going to Amsterdam for 5 days this month for Amsterdam Dance Event, have my boyfriend's birthday on the 10th this month, and I guess the rest of the time just working…
Yeah, enjoy.
When you say dance event do you mean like a rave, competition, or folk festival?
