Connie (244 KP) rated Telegram Messenger in Apps
Jun 14, 2018
I like Telegram a lot because it's useable around the world for no charge. You can send voice messages, text messages and pictures to people for literally nothing. There are a lot of bots that you can interact with; I can play Werewolf, Taboo or Spy with people everywhere any time I want.
Additionally, it's easy to create your own chat or group and doesn't cost a thing. I use it for role-playing and D & D every day, and intend to continue doing so.
You can also have your own sticker packs created (like emojis) or steal ones that you like from others!

It's definitely something new... not like anything else (2 more)
I actually quite enjoy the storyline, even though it is like a dirty version of twilight.
The raunch is quite entertaining 😂
The books are only known for their raunchy side which is a shame. (1 more)
The writing isn't too cracking.
I'm just romantic
Now I know the storyline isn't the best, neither is the writing but I still enjoy these books.
Also, since the books came out, people who are THAT way inclined, don't have to feel it's wrong, unusual or taboo. Between two consenting adults, there isn't anything wrong with it. (Although it is too much for my taste!)

An origin story that was better left alone or in better hands.
Contains spoilers, click to show
In the city of Bangkok, criminal kingpin Bison (McDonough), begins a violent bid for power in the city's slums, eliminating everyone who gets in his way.
with the violence escalating, heroes emerges in an attempt to bring Bison to justice. Fighting for good are Chun-Li (Kristin Kreuk), martial-arts master Gen (Robin Shou) although rarely seen, Interpol agent Charlie Nash (Chris Klein) and his partner, Maya Sunee (Moon Bloodgood).
In their way are also bisons Henchmen Vega (black eyed peas Taboo) Balrog (Michael Clarke duncan) & Catana (josie ho).
Unfortunately this attempt at n origin movie is almost completely flawed.
1) chun li's origin is completely unoriginal
2)both Michael Clarke duncan and Taboo were wrong for the parts visually & given the actor's ages during filming of an origin story wouldn't have helped any possible sequels.
3) chun li is displayed martial arts master...this early??
4) Vega is defeated too easily during first encounter with chun li, considering he's a skilled assassin?!
Although there's obviously actresses who could've been worse I feel Kristen kreuk wasn't the right choice for the role as she seemed physically weak where the character of chun li has always been seen as a strong female character, I would've preferred Ming-Na wen to reprise her role in a new story, with childhood flash backs.

Midlife crisis drama
I don't think I would have heard or seen this film other than Kristen Bell is in it. She has a midlife crisis and leaves her job in New York to head back to the small town where she grew up. She takes up her old job as a lifeguard and falls into a pattern of her teenage years. Including a fling with college student. It's quite dull and predictable for the most part only broken up with a few raunchy scenes along the way. A bit taboo but it's been done plenty of times before to a better standard. No wonder it went off the radar.

Awesome guest speakers
Great podcast, but not for everyone
I absolutely love this podcast. Yes, some people might find it offensive, but...honestly, I think it's kind of their goal, to get people talking about things that most Christians usually find taboo, and maybe change your mind once in a while. I think it's awesome what these guys are doing, and love what they stand for, even if I don't always agree with them.

Amazing read!!!!! I could not put the book down. I was unsure how this horror story was going to play out as I am not familiar with the myth but can say that it was very well written and not in the slightest gory. This story is very chilling, creepy, fast paced, and above all nail biting exciting. The writer has created characters that drew me in from the beginning, from Jemima, her Great Uncle Tomaz, crazy Mary (homeless lady), the kids at school (bullies/school crushes), to the hateful school governess. These characters were beautifully crafted and well written.
NOTE: A few may find the sexual element of this book unsettling; however, I think the author was tactful in writing about the taboo subject in this horror novel and handled it very well.

This movie started off as a fun, mindless romp but in the second half of the movie, one of the characters pretends to have a miscarriage and it is used as a joke among the other characters. As a woman who endured four traumatic miscarriages, this was a very dark turn for me and I could not focus so much on the movie as my nerves were made raw from their callous treatment of a sensitive, traumatic event that happens to more women than you think. Miscarriage has been a taboo topic in society and women have had to suffer in silence. It should not be used so lightly as a plotline in a freaking comedy. As I said, it ruined the movie for me and I do not recommend it.

This book was recommended to me by my barista and I'm so glad that read it. It was truly hilarious! I couldn't help but laugh when reading/listening to it.
First off, I normally don't truly laugh when reading a book but I found myself laughing (really laughing) throughout this book. This book was disgusting, horrifying, hilarious, and I would recommend it to anyone that likes something unique, and crass.
The characters are definitely interesting and I kept wondering what else could happen. The twists and turns were exhilarating and I felt like I was on a roller coaster that wanted to not only make you say "What the F***" but laugh while you were shooting down to your inevitable doom.
If you want something fun, unique, and a little taboo definitely read this!

Kristina (502 KP) rated Stalker (Stalker, #1) in Books
Dec 7, 2020
I honestly don't know what happened here. I stumbled across Stalker by accident, a pretty long while after I'd read the prequel, Killer. I had really enjoyed the prequel, so I decided to read its follow-up. Unfortunately, I was very disappointed. It was poorly written, Phoenix was more annoying than he was hot - in a taboo kind of way, and there was so much repetition I wanted to pull my hair out. Literally, here are just a few words that were repeated no less than 10 times throughout the whole book: "mumble, muse, squeal, thump/thumping". I persevered because the beginning said the ending would not be happy one and I was wanting to see if I had guessed correctly. I was wrong and was also disappointed in the ending.
