Don't watch it unless you don't care about how a kid and a guy wearing a suit without any speaking roles were the best actors in the whole film. Olivia Munn is just horrible, why do they keep giving her parts in big films?I had this when I was watching a couple of films on the flight back from Europe in the summer. 'Aliens' has to be one of my all time favourite films. I still watch it and I'll be on the edge of my seat. Then the others came, and I was kind, 'meh'. I wasn't a big fan of 'Prometheus', mainly because of the stupidity of the 'scientists' taking off their helmets and breathing etc. But on the plane I watched 'Alien: Covenant', and it was the same stupid thing. Further the story with 'scientists' being stupid and doing very unscientific things. You know, you can further the story of Alien and Aliens without adding in stupid things and ruining the legacy. I saw another film that people thought was ok, but i can't remember the name, but it was sooo shit. Going backwards and forwards with Star Wars has been watchable. To go back, I loved the first Predator and maybe the second and then it just got silly.Alien vs Predator was honestly one of the worst things I've ever watched.

Lance Henricksen and Bill Paxton?
Who is the only serving world leader to have scored against Gillingham in 3 different football matches?
A new elementary school is being constructed directly next to my middle school. Now, you would think that construction should take place in the afternoon, where school is no longer in session and people are actually awake. But no, it has to be early in the morning, making such a ruckus that my 1st period classes are disturbed even with the windows closed.

Sound like me, had a terrible thing happen on Monday, and haven't been sleeping much since.Today, my co-T needed my class, so my 1 class got cancelled, and - because of the forementioned terrible thing, she thought I wasn't going to be at work today (when it is next week I won't be there), so she had the teacher's workshop cancelled today too.I've literally had nothing to do all day, and so I've been sleepy and close to falling asleep all day.

Just sayin...Forgive me for not understanding the fine points of construction work, but what exactly changes if they work at a different time of day? It's not like nighttime construction, or even midday construction aren't a thing. Someone educate me
Aristocrat:I agree, it's necessary. Except when you're expected to teach with a jackhammer, literally 3m from the window (without a window pane) and the dust getting so bad that during class, students were constantly coughing and one got an asthma attack.This is a good example of the consequence emboldening method of discourse. When your original complaint, that you expected would find agreement, is met by deaf ears or effectively rebutted in one succinct sentence (by Dino, no less) you up the ante. All of a sudden there are more dire consequences that were suspiciously left out of the original post that add more gravitas to the complaint. Some people also refer to it as horsesh*t. Got two classes all day so just ranting as is the theme here.
Ragweed is sporing today. The levels are moderate, but I'm super allergic, so nothing OTC is working, and I'm just

I'm pissed that my wife got the day off, sports day, and I have 6 classes.
