I watched this movie yesterday, completely by chance. I was blown away by the male lead. He looked amazing! I wondered what he did for a living and how I'd not heard of an action star named 'Rain' so Google came to the rescue. Now a quip from the movie makes more sense.
What I'm more curious about is, did they intend this movie for action audiences or for female audiences? The fight scenes apart, Rain rarely has a shirt on and looks fabulous (after working out 6 hours a day for 6 months, I'd showcase my body too) and thanks to all the fighting is sometimes sweaty, sometimes has water thrown on him... just making me appreciate the hard work even more. Oh yes! Sometimes speckled in blood...
Kind of like Jason Stratham. I'd watch a Jason Stratham movie anytime, he takes a lot of trouble with his body and likes to show it off, and I appreciate it :)
I'm wondering if this is something producers/directors are on to? Making action movies that couples watch, the men for the action, the women for the star?

Vacation!
I had made a promise to myself early this year. I promised that I would improve myself. I planned to get healthy, to travel and to learn some new things. The healthy part seems to be working, and due to some quirks of fate, travel translated into me going to VietNam for a week. Initially, I was supposed to meet a friend and then maybe go on by myself, I wound up going completely by myself, which was also good.
I think vacationing by yourself is great! Gives you a lot of head space, helps you feel/think about whatever you want. In my case, it was about having children, and my options around this. I want to get pregnant, SO... not so much. I'm 34 now and had thought that I only have till 35 to make this happen. Maybe I don't? Maybe I have till 36 or 37 or some later point?
If that's the case, and SO is reasonably clear that he doesn't want to have kids... does that change our relationship? This and other less stressful things are what I spent the head space on.
I also had a great time wandering around cities and towns, buying stuff, not buying stuff, seeing, feeling, etc. It was an excellent vacation though stressful in its own way. I've done it now, I'm looking forward to doing more such trips!
