  1. Ooh yes, there is a lot of uncertainty now because we all thought that Brexit was going to be a straight-forward process. Try to imagine what else could happen in the next decade and your head will start spinning!
  2. Last year, I kept wondering about the whole point of a book club. However, towards the end of last month, I started looking at it as a way to read more and get the much-needed push to finish a book quickly. Do you belong to a book club and if so, how beneficial has it been?
  3. Just yesterday, I was telling my friend that the past ten years have flown past so fast. No one indeed sees eye-to-eye anymore, especially with the current nature of our politics. With the advancement of smartphones and a change in the way we communicate, I'd go for "The Social Revolution." Many people currently struggle to put down the phone, and this has dealt a big blow to personal relationships and social interactions.
  4. Anthony Joshua working with Fury will rile Wilder; will we ever see these two in a fight? It will be fun to watch this, for sure! The current WBC champion will want to better his record while Fury will want to prove his critics wrong. What is your prediction?
  5. Lol, who thought of having a news remix in the background; it is a great hit nonetheless! You must have all had a wonderful Christmas season. Indeed, we have a lot to look forward in 2020, the beginning of a new decade.
  6. I wouldn't call myself adventurous because I don't mind being outdoors hiking, mountain climbing or socializing. On the other hand, staying at home with a book at hand excites me. There is a lot that one can do on the internet. So in a way, striking a balance becomes the preferred option.
  7. It makes more sense to set goals, but these are usually long-term in nature. I also don't think that resolutions made at the end of each year matter anyway; this ought to be a continuous process. On this note, my goal is to be a better spender and wise saver.
  8. Silent Night is an absolute classic, and it took me many years back while growing up. It is a great idea that captures the mood of the moment. Here's yet another classic;
  9. Well, I am not a rock fan, but I don't dispute the fact that Slash is one among the best guitarists ever. On the other hand, Brad Whitford and Joe Perry of Aerosmith have always personified the guitar. To be the best in anything requires effort and I believe they have put in their best to get to where they are now.
  10. Oh yes @whaleshark, we can no longer rely on genes alone to age gracefully. A decent lifestyle also incorporates healthy eating and a good fitness regime. @coleman, I remember Antonio Banderas from the movies The Mask of Zorro and Puss in Boots. He was my favourite actor alongside Colin Farrell and Denzel Washington.
  11. I agree with you to some extent. We mostly work to pay the bills and get us going, but our personal lives should never take second priority. It is all about finding the right balance and pushing on, even when we do not feel like moving an inch.
  12. It is unbelievable that CM Punk suffered a terrible beat-down. I would have expected him to put up a fight. I just read that he could be making a return to WWE 'if the price is right.'
  13. Jennifer Lopez is ageing well; you can hardly tell that she's 50. Jessica Lange, Eugene Levy and Christopher Plummer are also ageing gracefully. It could be a combination of genes, a healthy lifestyle and just choosing to be happy.
  14. Isn't the vice versa true considering that MMA and boxing are contact sports? Anyone has the right to retire at the time of their choice, but like you all say, at times they do it as a calculated move. It seems like everything involves money nowadays!
  15. I agree with you. It is pointless to try and embarrass frequent flyers and expect them to stop flying to 'save' the planet. There needs to be a scientific interpretation as to whether or not such reductions in air travel are justifiable, in as far as environmental protection is concerned.
  16. Yes, Jennifer Hudson is one among the few musicians who've been able to become good actors and actresses as well. In my opinion, the notion that every other musician can succeed in Holywood is the wrong one.
  17. Say, you see a good photograph on Instagram, download it, then save it on your PC. If you ever want to recreate this photo, the owner has to give consent. This means that you have to write an email and seek permission. Most professional photographers have their images protected by copyright.
  18. I came across a trailer of Glitter, a movie that had Mariah Carey as the main actor. Musicians who aren't necessarily actors could potentially succeed in a supporting role. Are there more who followed this path and failed?
  19. Yes, it never solves the problem, but maybe it helps to get the information out there. With increased awareness, there is likely to be an effort to reduce these emissions. There is no day all of us will ever stop flying anyway!
  20. Photography is an art, and I feel like the photographers easily share their work because they love what they do. It is a crowded space now where you can get services for every genre and price range. The dedicated and creative photographer creates a portfolio which is then able to attract clients. All is not lost, in my opinion.
  21. Before flight shaming took off, most of us had no idea that commercial flying contributes to environmental pollution through the emission of carbon. Perhaps people are beginning to become aware because like the article points out, one in five passengers is now flying less.
  22. Do you (sometimes) get the feeling that we had more variety and creativity back in the day? Most TV series or movies almost follow a similar plot. Now that you've mentioned it, I also intend to watch The Wire someday. From the list, I'd choose Lost, Game Of Thrones and 24.
  23. @Zack T, what you say about how rap music has changed is true. It is hard to come across a track that sounds like the 80s or 90s hit. Is 'trap' music slowly take over that space? Time will tell! @ShadowEdge, I think more people watch videos as evidenced by the millions of views on YouTube. Again, this is a subjective topic because not everyone checks out a new song on Vevo or YouTube.

    I haven't been good at and reviewing movies lately, but then, this trailer makes me look forward to October. Negative comments will always be there, but the best way to form an opinion is by getting first-hand experience.
  25. Whenever I try to watch a movie, I either get easily distracted or doze on the couch. Reading excites me more nowadays, and I can spend hours flipping through the pages. I cannot recall the last time I watch a movie, even though I have a preference for the animated ones (I loved Zootopia)
