It was tough, but we found the 21 best movies on HBO Max

When HBO Max launched in May of 2020 boasting thousands of hours of content, they weren't lying.  The streaming service that came into our lives by way of yanking Friends from Netflix has proved to be an endless source of movie magic, with hallowed Hollywood favorites in the Turner Classic Movies collection to the works of directors like Kubrick, Hitchcock, Miyazaki, and Kurosawa.  Picking the best (and distinguishing them from our personal favorites) was no easy task, but we somehow managed. In no particular order, here are the 21 best movies on HBO Max. 
1. The Dark Knight 
It's daunting to pick just one Batman movie from the literal dozens available on HBO Max, but in the end the top spot could only go to 2008’s The Dark Knight, written and directed by Christopher Nolan (Mask of the Phantasm, we will avenge you — someday).  Read more...More about Movies, Hbo Max, Entertainment, and Movies Tv Shows

Facebook's most popular post about the J & J COVID vaccine was posted by a conspiracy theorist

Anti-vaxxers are having a field day with the Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine news that broke earlier this week. And that news is helping them go viral on Facebook. The most popular Facebook post sharing a link about the vaccine this week belongs to a conspiracy theorist who goes by the name An0maly. According to NPR, the post from the self-described "news analyst and hip-hop artist" was more popular than stories shared by CNN, ABC News, The New York Times, and Fox News. An0maly has a history of spreading right-wing conspiracy theories across social media. While some of his previous posts have been removed or restricted — according to him — he has been able to maintain accounts on major platforms like Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube.  Read more...More about Facebook, Conspiracy Theories, Misinformation, Covid 19, and Tech

'The Falcon and the Winter Soldier' introduced another surprising new villain

Just when it seemed like The Falcon and the Winter Soldier had all of its players set up for the endgame, episode 5 threw a curveball that changed the MCU playbook again. That curveball was Julia Louis-Dreyfus appearing as Contessa Valentina Allegra de Fontaine, sometimes known as Madame Hydra.   Valentina shows up early in the episode, after John Walker is stripped of his Captain America title and discharged without honor as a consequence of the cold-blooded murder he committed at the end of episode 4. It was evident in that episode that Walker took the last vial of super soldier serum for himself and is now a hot commodity for people who might be interested in his newly developed skills. One of those people is Contessa Valentina Allegra de Fontaine, who assures Walker that the next time she calls him, he's going to want to pick up the phone.

In the throes of my pelvic pain, I would've dropkicked anyone who told me that it's "all in my head."  But what if there's some truth to that? I'm not saying my pain or anyone else's is at all fake or "made up." With the amount of money and energy I've spent coping with my pelvic pain (and writing about it!), it's as real as anything else I've ever experienced.
