And Fuck You, condescending Young-Adult novels. "Ohh, I'm a teenager, but I feel different to everybody else, so there must be something wrong with me; oh no - I'm actually special; oh, but it's so hard being special; oh, romance is difficult; oh - but everything will turn out alright if I just accept myself for who I am". Fuck you.
You OK!?
I came last in the pub-quiz last night. I was doing it solo, whereas the other teams had at least 4, up to 10 people per team - and I was late, so missed the first round - but still, it hurts, you know? I didn't show it, but deep-down, you know... it stung.
Anyways - Young-Adult books - I remember when I actually WAS a young-adult, thinking "you condescending pricks" while reading attempts to relate with, or get inside, the heads of a teenager. But NOW - when for some reason I read one of these things - 'Arry Potter, or 'Unger Games, or whatever - I'm sure they're much, much worse.... and quite possibly actively creating this generation of little entitled pricks. Hunger Games - god that was terrible, constant re-inforcement of "positive messages" for a generation of kids now thinking that cock-teasing two guys in parallel is all good - don't worry about it, it's all about YOU and YOUR desires anyway - and so what if that's a see-saw... just take what you want, when you want, and everything else will fit around you.

Toxic masculinity. I never quite knew what that meant but I do now. It’s when TR got all the bloody girls.

Beer later in the piece as 20 was the drinking age when I was in my teens.

All about confidence. At 17 I was as baby faced as they come but when the Police visited the Poenamo in Takapuna and started arresting under agers I walked up to the sergeant and asked him if I would get booked if I took all my clothes off and jumped in the house bar pool. He said not unless we get a complaint. So I did. It was fucking July!!!After I got dressed I wandered into the house bar where a wedding was underway. I was asked if I was a guest in the hotel. I replied by pointing to my wet hair and asking where else could I get a shower at that time of night? I spent the next two hours drinking free beer

Coming 2 America
A pretty good sequel.

A rewatch of Taken 1, 2 and 3.
While the original is definitely the best of the three movies I also enjoy watching the other two as well. You either like the French-style camera shots/editing or not, and ignore some of the plot holes.
Forest Whitaker was a good addition to 3 but whoever cast Dougray Scott to replace the unavailable Xander Berkeley needs a slap. At least get an actor who looks older, is balding and grey-haired.

I got too bored reading your review, it took ages. Can you try and summarise it more succinctly?

One of the best scenes in Taken 3 is the drama that Whitaker puts into biting into a bagel.
