I have a kilo of whey protein that’s been sitting in my cupboard for 5 years now. Unfortunately I couldn’t digest the stuff and it, uh, caused embarrassment when I engaged my core at the gym.

Yeah- unless that fish she’s eating is 10 oz of protein or more, she’s going to be in trouble after a while.

I also make 90% of my own meals, it’s a lot of work and there isn’t much flexibility but it is what keeps me on track. I think having more protein is key, there is no way her diet as listed is hitting a decent calorie count for the day. Also I knew my comment was a slippery slope because it could be perceived as…

An adventurer is someone who gets paid by rich people to go and steal artifacts for their private collections.

Contrast all that to John Wick, Chapter 2, which we watched last night. The amount of world-building in an “action movie” was amazing, and the world they created made me want to know more, more, MORE about it (omg, we loved the tattooed phone operators).

This doesn’t surprise me at all. I feel like once Tom Cruise gets his hands on something, it becomes all about him. SEE ALSO: Robe Lowe

You have put way more thought into this than the executives have.

I forgot that detail. But I still want to know how someone get a job as an “adventurer” as there are real people and that is their job. They even have awards for it:

IO9 said that he’s military, but shirking his duties with the intention of pillaging ancient treasures in Iraq.

• He’s an “adventurer,” whatever that is.

Clearly. But you could even massage that around. He starts in Iraq doing the looting/thieving stuff they wanted for some reason, then goes to Egypt to make a sale. Get’s a tip about a site. Goes in blind, stumbles into it all. Now it’s set in Egypt and his backstory is the same.

Somebody really wanted a soldier in Iraq to be the one who finds the mummy.

That makes more sense, but still, how hard is it to set it in Egypt? It’s not like the average moviegoer can tell the Mesopotamian plain from the Nile plain anyway.

Back before Tom Cruise was cast, the story was supposed to be about an Assyrian king who is resurrected thanks to American soldiers messing with ancient artifacts. Then Cruise came aboard and the movie went through six different writers and countless drafts, all intent on starting a shared universe similar to BvS.

does the mummy not get much screen time? when i saw the trailer i thought the only thing about this movie i want to see is the mummy.

They dug up a mummy in bloody Mesopotamia. That alone should tell you how poorly thought out this film is.

There are only 2 good uses of Tom Cruise in movies nowadays:

I’m relieved, to be honest. The trailer looked like it might be kind of good, which would have been annoying considering it’s a reboot of a recent movie series and also Tom Cruise is just the worst.

The Fraser films are gold and any attempt to outdo them was clearly going to fail. Even the much-maligned third film (which I personally think is still rather good) is miles better than anything cookie-cutter Cruise film.

Imagine if this movie had focused on the woman of color character it is ostensibly named after
