  • Agree with you @talos7 ... He doesn't appear to be a Juice Monkey... Connor MacGregor and Jake Gyllenhaal would be exhibits one and two that best represent an overload of PEDs... ATJ has a great and athletic physique that has obviously undergone …

  • Very nice post @DarthDimi !…. Very honest and true, and yep, trying to write a Bond scene, or sequence, or script (or Batman, or Superman), can be very humbling. And you’re right, it takes time, lots and lots and lots of time. Unfortunately for m…

  • Father @Mendes4Lyfe , your logic and experience in the film industry is so advanced, I have no idea what you’re going on about. But when you’re on a first name basis with these directors, I guess you just know more about the industry, 🤷‍♂️. Thank…
