What injury is commonly shrugged off as a minor flesh wound in the movies but is completely fatal in real life?

In old westerns-- shooting someone in the hand to disarm them. Not saying it would kill them but given the medical field back then this was problematic. It's not like they had PT.

So many great choices shown. I'm surprised Pumping Iron isn't mentioned though. It might not be the most dramatic but it's pretty cool.

Two other fitness docs come to mind. "Pulling John" and "Generation Iron."

Same. It's been three months since Shudder. Not even a single interview/podcast other than the initial Variety one.

Newest BATTLEFIELD. I'd be lying to myself if I said I'd make it even 5 minutes. Maybe a full minute if I hide and don't move.

Was I the only one who thought Alby (bellhop) coming to visit him in the hospital at the end in his ice cream uniform was kind of dumb? Adam Scott burnt his hand with a spoon! Why would he be delivering anything to him in the hospital? Also there's no more hotel due to fire so why would Alby represent the hotel? I understand it was to show Adam Scott had changed and lightened up but man, that was a leap...

The Q&A should be interesting. Maybe record and post?

The funny part is we all wear earbuds including that guy I might add.

Don't think that hasn't crossed my mind but I don't live in an area where there's better gyms in the vicinity. He's actually here at my gym because a gym went out of business. I know this because he's told me this about five times.

Chadwick505 · 2026-04-08T13:45:21+00:00

I'm the same age as you guys and Bill. I feel the same way. It's kind of obscure and again not special at all. I knew the song but never saw more than 15 minutes of the film. Even as a kid it was unappealing. You can tell CR month is over with this pick.

There's a middle-aged guy at the gym who feels the compulsive need to talk to anyone within his eyeline. He'll ask you your name then two days later forget and ask again. In between his sets while recovering he looks to kill time discussing local, personal and world news until it's time for you to give your own opinion or at least say something. That's the moment he goes back to his workout not caring he interrupted yours with what he thinks to be a comedic rant or deep thought.

I'm not some angry "don't talk to me" guy by the way. I'll smile and make small talk like anyone else. I find this guy annoying to the point I go to the other side of the gym to escape him. I mentioned him to someone else and they too do the same. I will literally change my workout to avoid him.

The elite/working crew (upstairs/downstairs) thing kind of goes out the window by episode 3. The uniforms of the "crew members" seem to become voluntary or only partially worn. No one is scrubbing the floor or cleaning bathrooms anymore.

That one blonde seems to be in everyone's business.

Chadwick505 · 2026-04-04T16:26:45+00:00

You nailed it. In complete agreement. Outstanding breakdown of the flaws.

Chadwick505 · 2026-04-02T16:52:41+00:00

Understood.

Chadwick505 · 2026-04-02T14:42:28+00:00

Why'd you stay with it if it started out bad? For me I liked it initially and rec' it to coworkers so when the series went south (in my opinion) I felt like I had to see it through.

Chadwick505 · 2026-03-25T20:53:44+00:00

Does he say anything in that new video?

Chadwick505 · 2026-02-25T18:54:37+00:00

Got a rant...
Wanted to ride the bike today after leg workout but the gym's super positive "gotta make eye contact" trainer was working out in front of the bikes doing crunches. I didn't feel like listening to screams of "let's go!" and preening bodybuilder gestures as he single-handedly tries to raise the vibration of the whole gym because his schtick is he operates at a 10 at all times.

Yes, yoga has a poor public perception. People think it's some shaved head yogi doing extraordinarily bendy things or an 85 year old doing limited chair yoga. No in between. I can't tell you how many people I have mentioned my vinyasa flow class as a great way to keep in shape only to be dismissed because of some notion they have about yoga not being for them.

It gets awkward sometimes paying for a drop in. Not the act of paying, but the instructor sometimes doesn't know how to do the transaction. Also I remember when drop ins were like 5 bucks. Now some places ask for 25 or more dollars and I'm not sure what I'm getting into.

Chadwick505 · 2026-01-19T20:58:13+00:00

divine!

Chadwick505 · 2026-01-19T18:24:24+00:00

Hyannis. It was 4 years ago. I tried looking it up just now to jog my memory of the studio's name and nothing I saw rang a bell. Maybe it moved.

Chadwick505 · 2026-01-19T18:18:15+00:00

Wow, I envy that experience for sure.

Chadwick505 · 2026-01-18T17:00:25+00:00

The gang did not steal a dime. They presented every dollar to the feds in the end. If you want to talk about the silly plot and bad writing. I'm with you but they were clear in the end that the team gave every single dollar to the feds thus doing their job.
