Sean Penn Does Bryan Mills
Could be an ok action movie, there is very little coming out before the summer movie season that piques my interest, besides The Water Diviner (FB).

Verily, You can Have It All
I don't see any indication of the magazine (FB) opposing the feminist dream.
More Catholic feminism at work?

Fasting and Paleo
For those who are recovering from metabolic derangement, there is a fear that returning to a diet that is dominantly carbohydrates will lead to a return to their health problems. Is this fear justified?
If going paleo satiates hunger and moderates the appetite in itself, does it make sense to return to a diet that destroys this balance and makes one hungry when one doesn't actually need to eat for the sake of observing an ancient fasting discipline? In essence, would going off paleo entail making myself feel hungry in order to prevail against that sensation? Mortification for mortification's sake? The great ascetics may have been able to observe the fast without any adverse health effects--was this because of graces being given to them for the purity of their intention, rather than the natural consequences of the fasting?

Another Nominee for Official Paleo Theme Song – Blue Collar Boys – Frank Foster
Frank Foster
A step above normal "dude bro" country song? Doesn't really seem like it... at least the MV.
I've been hearing Lee Brice's "Drinking Class" whenever I tune into 92.3.
Arguably a better song, definitely a better MV.
Romanticizing the blue collar class? Why not.

Libertarians Catching Up to the Liberal Agenda
James Kilpatrick, Libertarians Morphing into Leftist “Social Justice Warriors” At International Students for Liberty Conference
When you identify with liberalism rather than tradition, what alternative do you have than to follow the "progressive" liberal logic?

Blomkamp Alien Movie OKed
20 years too late?
New ‘Alien’ Movie Confirmed with Director Neill Blomkamp
It wouldn't bother me if this is a story to make me forgot Alien 3 and Alien Resurrection; those who talk about how important it is to maintain continuity may be making an idol out of an entertainment product.
