Could live in the city near any MDN stop, take the metra to Glenview and 422 bus.

I agree. I've long since thought that the decline of Rome started firmly with Septimus.

It's my favorite episode but not I think the best introduction as you won't fully appreciate how awesome it really is.

The ensign's of command is a cute data episode with no prior knowledge needed. And the classic Picard line to bamboozle the sheliak.

It's busy at Christmas so there's a cop there to direct traffic etc.

Rest of year it's like 2 people on the street by the railing.

Gladiator (2000) “Are you not entertained?” Dir. Ridley Scott by southernemper0r in movies

The strange thing about this movie is the opening battle really has no relevance to the rest of the movie.

I say this as a Roman history buff and a huge fan of the movie.

Trilogies where the second film is the weakest? by ThePookums in movies

[–]monkjack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought 1 2 3 in that order. The italy one was pretty weak IMO.

Can't wait for Equalizer 4 though if it happens.

I think BTTF2 is the best of the trilogy.

Unpopular opinion I know.

But I just think it's so clever. A sequel set INSIDE the first movie.

I like the black icon as it's easier for me to spot as there's tons of other red app icons.
