Finally watched Black Panther. So refreshing after The Last Jedi.
Seriously? What movie where you watching? Don't get me wrong - TLJ was bad... but Black Panther was definitely no winner.
Decent story, decent villain, good action scenes and dialog. I really enjoyed Black Panther.

It wasn't a jaw dropping movie, but it was a solid movie imo. I'm not a movie critic, so I don't go very deeply into the acting or cinematography unless it is really bad. I'm also not a comicbook fan, so I don't have any original content to compare it to like with Star Wars. I just enjoyed the movie. It wasn't terribly deep or complex, but it was fun. TLJ, however, goes into the "Worst Movies I Have Ever Seen" category.

I thought it was way to preachy!

@dashrender What do you mean by this? Usually the people who say things are too "Preachy" use words like cuck and SJW in casual conversation, and are ok with the current crop of concentration camps that exist in America today.

I'll start by saying I know nothing of the Black Panther comics - but the whole - we gotta get out there and protect the other blacks in the world thing. That really put me off.
What is cuck? and is there something wrong with using social justice warrior in casual conversation? Not that I do - I haven't uttered those words in ages - at least a year - probably more.
The whole protecting classes movements of all kinds is a huge root of the problem. If you want equality, then talk about that - leave everything else out. Leave gender out, leave sexual preference out, leave race out. Don't march for gay rights, march for equality for all. Period. You get all of these groups together, all those SJW, and put them under the banner of equality for all - then you might see some real change.

Forgive me but you're looking way to deep into this.

Really? that was nearly word for word from the movie - how much more surface do you get? Now - if he said - we need to leave our land and protect the people, then I wouldn't be saying anything right now. But they weren't looking to protect everyone.

That was the dichotomy of the movie. T'Challah was being pressured to help the outside world. His cousin wanted to bring violent justice for Africans and people of African decent. He eventually chose to help all people. The trope was "do we use our knowledge for good or to conquer".

And TLJ was way more preachy than Black Panther. Talk about sacrificing your story for a message...

Youtube VideoCaught that live the other morning. My wife just looked at me, because I never close the door to the bedroom, while she always does.

Makes one think for certain ... and the most damage was the farthest from the fire source...
Though, us parents cringe at the thought of disaster that affects our kids,.. this is one that you have to think hard on.
That closed door could save you,.. but will it prevent you from getting to your children. Yes and maybe no.
Wow...

How would it prevent you? Assuming the fire is not current right outside the door, you are now awake and breathing. Thanks to the smoke detector in the hallway and the closed doors.
Now you can open the door in a controlled state from low to the ground and move from room to room to handle getting everyone out.

One of the things that I am thankful for with my house's design, is that there is no room in the house that can't exit directly to the outside, or across a small hall to exit from the other side. No room is more than several feet from two very different exit points. It's a single floor and every room has windows that you could just step out of. Even my seven year old could easily open and leave through any window in the house, plus we have four doors to exit from.

That is one of the biggest reasons my wife only wants single story houses.

Both of my kids and I have fallen down the stairs (long time ago for me, Liesl at age 1, Luciana at 3), and Dominica has nearly fallen down stairs (and her nearly broke her back whereas the other three of us just got banged up) so I tend to hate houses with stairs more for that reason than the fires which are more rare. But kids, at least, on the ground floor, is a big deal.

My wife fears people coming into the house more than fires, though, which is totally irrational but it is what it is. But our house is perfect as the kids' rooms don't go to the full outside, but to an enclosed atrium with three sides of house around it and the only side that isn't proper house is a tall brick wall that goes into a trusted neighbor's front walk behind their gate, in direct line of site of their front door. So anyone trying to enter our atrium from that direction would have to go through their gate, scale a wall in absolutely full view of their main living space, and drop blinding into what we call a "shooting gallery" in which they would be trapped with their backs to a "not too quick to climb" brick wall and three other sides of glass in Texas (we have a lot of guns you know).... about the dumbest place a criminal could possibly decide to go.
