  1. I knew he was for real! ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿผ๐Ÿฅฐ Reminded me so much of my father, in the beginning, he knew he was in trouble, and was constantly tell us that heโ€™s gotten himself into a real pickle. ๐Ÿฅน

  2. Watching Patrick's character with his doctor brought back terrible memories for me with my mom and her own physician. Run from their pharmaceutical drugs. Most are ineffective and downright poisonous. If they say you need to have your liver enzymes checked frequently because of a pill they put you on, don't take it. They did that with my mother, it destroyed her liver. I had to watch her die slowly over 8 years while she was only in her 60's.

  3. Haven't seen this in forever, awesome. A remake with liam neeson would kick ass, like that one he did where he had amnesia but was a spy. "I have a unique set of skills, i just cant remember them right now but when i do i will find you and i will kill you… Who is this again?"… "Sir this is Domino's pizza"…"So it's the Italians I'm up against" lol

  4. The macro diet probably would have helped improve his condition more than pills. It's very difficult to say no to a physician about pharmaceuticals but sometimes it is warranted. Hope, courage and prayer help when making such a decision. Thanks for the great movie.

  5. Great idea!

    I need a life sized dummy that looks like me, so I can leave it in my bed in case anyone wants to kill me in my sleep.

    I'll be sleeping in the woods with my gun every night until they come, and I'll have the last laugh.

  6. I am delivering a sermon to you ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ˜Š please read

    Consistently Pray for forgiveness, guidance in a good (positive) direction, and for help against evil. Pray to be saved from hellย  (whatever that may be). Pray for your friends and your family too, it only takes a minute or so/less at a time to pray. Do it and your life will slowly get better, or maybe quickly. It probably just depends on you and the kind of person you are/have been. Don't wait until its too late and you have to suffer the consequences of built up bad karma from immoral acts/unrepented sins. Maybe together we can help make the world a better place by changing ourselves for the better, and changing things around us for the better.
    And addressing/thanking the CREATOR, LORD GOD at the beginning and end of your prayers would be a good idea ๐Ÿ˜Š
    Or just be my friend if you don't want to say the prayer ๐Ÿ˜„
    I'm trying to help you get right with the LORD ๐Ÿ™

    Amen.

    I have worded a short prayer for you to say if you are not sure what words to use, it may not be the best but here it is ๐Ÿ˜Š

    ''ย ย  CREATOR, LORD GOD,
    Please forgive me and my friends and my family for our immoral acts, please help guide us in a positive direction and please help us against evil. Please save us from Hell and have mercy on our souls. Thank you CREATOR, LORD GOD. Amen.ย  ''

    Please say this at least once a day for at least a month, do it longer if you want to and can ๐Ÿ™

    You should prostrate yourself if you don't want to do spoken prayer, or do both ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ˜Š Please worship the LORD GOD and not any idol.

    Please put your hands together ๐Ÿ™ bow your head and say this prayer:
    "CREATOR, LORD GOD, please know that I worship you and not any idols. Thank you for everything CREATOR, LORD GOD. Amen"

    Say 'ย  Om Namah Shivayaย  ' out loud or in your head 108 times, or try to do it 1008 times ๐Ÿ˜Š try to do it everyday if you want

    repeat this aloud for as long as you want to, try to do it for like an hour a day or say it in a prayerย  "Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me, a sinner"

    You can also say this prayer once a day or repeat it aloud as many times as you would like to:
    "Hail Mary, full of grace. The Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou amongst women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death, Amen."

    Thessalonians 5:16-18
    "Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you."

    Philippians 4:6-7
    "Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ™

    "O Blood and Water, which gushed forth from the Heart of Jesus as a fount of mercy for us, I trust in You!"ย ย  Repeat this aloud at least 3 times or as many as you want, do it everyday if you can

    I apologize for all the words ๐Ÿ˜Š I know how it may look

  7. I rented this from Blockbuster Video in '99. It was one of the last VHS movies I rented. I remember it was promoted heavily in the store. I hadn't seen it since until now. Sure, it was over the top in some ways; you can tell the cast and crew had fun with the film. But the film is plausible enough. You do empathize with Mace struggling with paranoia and dementia and everyone treating him very condescendingly. Overall a fun movie.

    It's a nice time capsule. This was when desktop computers in movies were Macs trying to look like Windows PCs, lol. It was the same in Office Space released the same year!

    A few things I noticed – I laughed when I saw Inspector Gadget played on one of the TVs in Mace's office. Patrick Stewart's "Special Physical Trainer" was kickboxing champion Benny "The Jet" Urquidez! Also, did anyone notice the design on the towels? White circles connected with intersecting lines on a black towel. The design seems to have been a homage to the Spacing Guild logo from the David Lynch movie Dune, starring Patrick Stewart as Gurney Halleck!
