di Unrepentantfenianbastard 01 aprile 2004
The worst kind of person. You cannot fully construct a meaning that fully encompasses what this vicious insult means. If you're an asshole, you are disgusting, loathesome, vile, distasteful, wrathful, belligerent, agoraphobic, and more. Assholes are human fecal matter. They are the lowest of the low. They transcend all forms of immorality. It is the very worst of insults; to be called an asshole is to have your very soul ripped apart and shat on. I say that the word "asshole" is the worst cussword of the english language, worst than fuck, shit, and cunt combined.

Even more beautiful in person. Made of recyclable materials.
I used this in my Shade covered patio under my garden work table. It faded and became brittle after about a month! I have a poly rug, similar weave, heavier, blue and white, made in USA, that I have had for at least 5 years. It was used in the dog yard to save my dogs feet from pea gravel, I moved it came and again is in the dog yard today, It still has the same color it came with, it is still intact and has been outside since I got it! This is NOT AT ALL worth buying.
I really like the product color and size! AGAIN didn't like the texture at all.....
I ordered this item for a screened in porch area. I was looking for an indoor/outdoor rug. This is more like a mat you would use at the beach. Very lightweight, would blow away in a strong wind.
The rug is okay for the price. The color is nice and accurate to the screen. It is woven out of a material that feels like plastic. It would be best suited for an outside rug or an area that just needs a splash of color.

Written by Karen Gellender Friday, 05 October 2012 00:00
Now that I'm an honest woman, as they say, people have started to ask about whether or not my husband and I are planning to have a baby soon. I don't know the answer to that myself. Sure, I want a baby—babies are so adorable that I turn to mush every time I see anything that looks even remotely like a baby. I coo whenever they show a baby during a commercial, even though I know they're just trying to sell me overpriced soap.
However, am I ready? First, there are financial concerns. I feel like I should wait until I have money safely invested in a house before I take on the responsibility of caring for another person. At the very least, I don't think I could safely carry a baby up and down the steps to our two-floor walk-up, so if I had a baby in my current apartment, I would never be able to go outside.
But look at the situation from a biological perspective, and suddenly it's very different: I'm 30. In a few years, people are going to start making those loathsome "your biological clock is ticking" comments. Apparently once I hit 35, the risk of birth defects goes up, and will continue to rise. If I plan on having a baby at any point, is it irresponsible to put it off, when I'm more likely to give birth to a perfectly healthy baby now?
There's also the question of whether or not I'm ready emotionally. Becoming a mother means putting a child's needs above my own constantly, and I don't know if I'm prepared. Have I gotten enough of my selfish, 20-something dreams out of my system that I'm prepared to spend my time changing diapers? Or is that kind of selflessness something you only truly understand once you have a child, so I'll never feel ready until it happens?
Pregnancy itself presents many areas of concern. My food cravings can already get pretty out of control; how bad will it be when I'm eating for two? I can just see the headline: "Pregnant Woman Devours Half of Downtown Mineola; claims beige buildings 'looked like vanilla cake.'" I also frequently enjoy a type of prepackaged snack that my husband tells me rates somewhere between corrugated cardboard and mud on a normal person's palatability scale; is it fair to inflict that on a defenseless fetus?
Plus, my understanding is that our scientific knowledge of prenatal nutrition is spotty at best. If my child isn't a genius, will it be because I ate too much pizza during the pregnancy and not enough kale? Come to think of it, even if I'm obsessed with getting my developing fetus vitamins, there's no right way to do it. I could take supplements, however they say you may absorb vitamins better from actual food. However, if I eat tons of vegetables and fish (for those healthy Omega-3s, of course), I'll be exposing my child to pesticides and mercury, which could lead to birth defects. Will my every idle snack become a crime against the unborn?
Of course, there's also the sad fact that not all pregnancies are successful; it's possible I could have a miscarriage. Considering that I'm the kind of person who bawls uncontrollably at even moderately sad movies, will I be able to handle that kind of emotional blow?
Speaking of which, what if I pass on my emotional volatility to my child? I suppose my son or daughter could inherit my creativity and none of my psychological issues, but what if it's the opposite? That hardly seems fair.
Or, what if my child has developmental disabilities? I would like to think that I could offer all the support any child of mine would require, but I don't have any way of knowing that. On some level, rightly or wrongly, I think I expect my son or daughter to be academically inclined like its mother. If my child didn't appear to be bright, would I come to resent them for it—and could I live with myself if I did?
Finally, even if by some miracle my child is biologically perfect and inherits only my virtues, how will we raise it? My husband and I were raised differently; we're bound to have some conflicting ideas in regard to childrearing. It could be the source of a lot of marital strife in an otherwise peaceful relationship. Is it fair to a subject a child to parents who fight not necessarily because of them, but primarily over them?
Some people seem to believe that women aren't qualified to make their own reproductive decisions. I'm willing to go one step further: absolutely no one is qualified to make this kind of decision. And yet, here we are.
Karen Gellender is editor of the Syosset-Jericho Tribune and Plainview-Old Bethpage Herald.

I sent this basket as a thank you after spending a week at my SIL's & her best friend's home. They thought that the package and presentation were too pretty to open until they showed the children and grandchildren! They loved the presentation and all of the products. This is not the first time that I have sent Wine Country products to these ladies and they have loved each and every one! Service to Washington State was quick. Everything was perfect! Thank you!

Question: Has anyone had issues with Kologarn despawning and never returning during a wipe?
We were in the middle of a wipe last nicht, a few seconds before all were dead, he gripped the remaining 3 people and despawned immediately. We thought it was cool, ran back to him, buffed up, but he never reappeared when we approached the ledge.
Of course, GM tickets were not available.
From my experience on the 10 man, you can avoid it. We decided just to heal through it when he didn't do more than 1 or 2 stacks on the first attempt - and then the next go he managed to get 4 stacks up on me! According to wowhead the debuff is 45s, but that doesn't seem right to me - I thought it was around 15s or so, because it didn't take all that long to drop off.Does anyone know if the tank can avoid the 25% armor debuff he places on them or how long its duration is?

Ah right, that makes sense then
Fayre - Soldiers of Azeroth, Aggramar(EU)
We are recruiting! See here for more details.
So what we did for this boss, since he does seem to have a RNG for his squeeze insta death to gripped people, we had all dps attack the right arm til it died, a tank picked up the adds and ranged AoE'd them down. all dps back on his main body til the right arm went back up, then immediately back on the right arm. By the time the right arm died 2 time he was around 40% hp, so killed the right arm 1 more time, left arm was almost dead from AoEs of hitting the right arm, killed the left arm and he fell.
This boss does enrage (by doing his ability as if someone wasn't in melee range of him)
seems like around 8-10 minutes.
Your ad could be here.
Addendum: Don't follow the body once it falls down to the ground unless it's straight. Bad things happen to you if you follow the body and it's slanted on a / or \ direction. -.-

"Damnit!" - Jack Bauer, 24
Managed to do the 10 man encounter last night and after getting on the same track, we were able to take him out in a few attempts.
Been seeing a few posts where people that have ended up getting gripped by the right arm have been dying instantly when released. We've experienced the same effect in all our encounters, so I'd imagine this is a functioning mechanic and not a glitch of some kind. This is going to make the "With arms wide open" Achievement a little more interesting, as you will most likely have to limit exactly how much damage you do to the right arm in order to get a player released but not blow the arm up entirely. The strat in the video is solid though, take out the right arm, raid heal through the left. He's got a HUGE hitbox too, so spacing out to be ready to run from eye beams is advisable
Stone Nova - Spell - World of Warcraft
I would love to know how your tank deals with that when you just casually DPS them. We have all our AOE focus them down immediately and I still usually end up with at least a 10 stack minimum.
We found zerging him easier XD.
Just fullout nuke on the body untill he dies lol.
Also - you could have a warrior tank the adds since they're stunnable, and he could just stand there and shockwave them and greatly reduce the damage he takes.
It seems that he can't look straight down (the position where you have your tanks as usually). It might be bugged but if you stack up the entire raid at that position you can simply zerg, without having to watch the eye beams at all.

Nov 13, 2014"The Guilt Trip" 10 Scale Rating: 5.5 (Average) ...
The Good: Streisand and Rogen made a good mother/son combo and were believable. Rogen, who typically is very over the top, excelled as the straight man for a change. The story isn't a bad idea and the ending had some genuinely touching moments.
The Bad: Extremely predictable from start to finish and not really very funny. You can pretty much tell exactly what is going to happen ten minutes into the film as it follows the formula that all films of this nature follow. Doesn't bring anything new to the genre whatsoever and is pretty vanilla.… Expand
Sep 4, 2014Probably one of the most unlikely of pairings, Barbra Streisand and Seth Rogen find themselves complimenting one another quite well. The Guilt Trip is largely made out of crap; however, we do occasionally see the spark which we loved in Dan Fogelman's previous flick, Crazy Stupid Love.
Jul 31, 2014The movie was very enjoyable and funny, the perfomance from Barbra and Seth. You must have had a moment just as Seth's character Andy were your mother has embarressed you in public. This movie portrays that well and manages to make it rather funny. It wasn't the funniest movie I have ever seen though I had a couple of laughs throughout. I also got surprised that I recently got to know that Barbra was 70 and as well as that I believe she was a perfect fit for this role, she did a incredible job with it if you ask me.… Expand
Jan 4, 2014I'll be honest, I went into this movie with very low expectations. My thoughts on the matter changed very quickly. This movie has an incredible feeling of sincerity, and feels about as real as a movie can get. Seth Rogen and Barbara Streisand were phenomenal, and genuinely funny throughout the whole movie. A heartwarming finale really rounded off one of my favorite movies of the year in a year of really bad movies. 9.5/10… Expand
Dec 12, 2013Even though the two main actors have great potential together, it just turns into a bad mixture of lame comedy and annoying Mum cliches. Definitely could have been better.
Oct 8, 2013Amusing, but a little bit obvious at some parts. It is heartfelt and composed at places, but sometimes it tends to "veer off the road", to make a relevant reference. Streisand's performance is okay, and Rogen is his usual inconsiderate self, but you'll find yourself smiling at some point.
Oct 3, 2013As far as road trip movies go, it could be argued that this film is nothing special, except that it stars Barbra Streisand in almost every scene, which make is extremely special indeed. Still beautiful at 71, and having gained a little weight which just serves to make her more endearing, Streisand still has that translucent, ivory skin that has an almost ethereal quality to it, and she still frosts her hair to perfection. Her character is fascinating because, if I'm not mistaken, this is the closest she has come to giving her audience what may very well be a small glimpse of her real self. Although her character is certainly meant to be exaggerated and comical, which sometimes works and sometimes doesn't, there appears to be a momentary unveiling of Streisand in the real-life roles she has played as wife, lover, and mother. Especially mother. Especially Jewish mother.
As the mother of an organic chemist (played by Seth Rogan) in his late twenties, who has invented his own non-toxic cleaning product made entirely out of edible ingredients, Streisand's character, Joyce, displays every kind of maternal sentiment when she gets to travel with her son on an eight-day cross-country road trip. The purpose of the trip is to sell her son's product to K-Mart, Costco, and other big distributors. Sometimes Joyce's maternal impulses are in direct conflict, since she is both neurotically possessive of her son's love and attention (the father is deceased), and at the same time deeply troubled that her son is still unmarried. She tries to play matchmaker even as she tries to convince herself that she is all her son needs.
She is overly nostalgic about the past, particularly about the days when her adult child was a little boy, and she falls asleep watching home videos. She fondly remembers when her little scientist used to do experiments in the basement wearing goggles that were four times bigger than his head. She loves to collect tchotchkes, and the ones with frog motifs are her favorite--her house is nearly overwhelmed with frogs. She frets that her son chose to leave his home with her in New Jersey to attend graduate school in California and fears that he did so to get away from her. She also has a fear of remarriage or connection with any other man because she never got over a true love who readily gave her up over thirty years earlier when she had an offer of marriage from the man who became her husband.
The road trip is a time of confrontation with all her conflicting emotions about her son, and she is forced to confront the ghosts from her past. Seth Rogan is unusually sensitive and understated in this film; it would seem that working with Streisand brings out the best in him. And there are scenes where it is possible that the two of them are ad-libbing. The most entertaining scene is when Mom enters a restaurant contest to see if she can, within an hour, eat a full meal that includes a 4.5 lb steak. The prize is that the meal is free if she succeeds. Watching Streisand's character eat like a horse is actually very entertaining ("food is love," she tells her son), and if Streisand is anything like that in real life, you have to bless that girl's healthy appetite. A must for die-hard fans of Barbra Streisand.… Expand
Sep 30, 2013The Guilt Trip is a solid movie, with some cool moments, and yes, the movie has some mistakes, but the big part of the time The Guilt Trip turns out to be fun.
Jul 19, 2013It looked promising but in the end this movie falls short. The story is about a young man going on a road trip with his mother whom he finds annoying. The humor is lacking, but what keeps you mildly interested in the film is the emotional moments, but even they aren't the greatest. The movie goes through many long and dry periods before something interesting happens. When the movie does have a sweet or touching moment it makes the whole movie a little more interesting, but these moments are few and far apart. All in all The Guilt Trip ends up being about as enjoyable as a long road trip, in that there are some spectacular and great moments, but those moments are separated by long and uneventful stretches of boredom. The Guilt Trip just might not be worth your time.… Expand
Jul 5, 2013As an adult, being forced to spend an extended period of time with your mother can be a bit of an ordeal at the best of times. The Guilt Trip taps into this and transposes it into a road movie that survives the low points through the great chemistry between Streisand and Rogen, but falls just shy of being worth a second look.
There's a lot to like about this film, in particular the way in which the two main characters interact with each other. Very rarely do the scenes feel rehearsed in any way, which gives it the tangible feel of a genuine relationship between mother and son. This goes a long way in helping to identify with the situations that arise and giving a sense of investment in the outcome. On top of this, it pushes the more comedic elements to the fore, showcasing the observational humour, which is very on point much of the time. It's rarely enough to inspire raucous laughter, but will frequently leave you with a knowing smile as the experiences of Rogen's Andy strike a chord of recognition. However, at some points these experiences can seem a little too familiar, interspersing the more engaging sections with a hollow disappointment.
It's worth noting that Streisand puts in an impressive performance and is primarily responsible for the disarming honesty that some of the more dramatic scenes possess, but the movie treads a fine line between emotional content and cheesy sentimentality with varying degrees of success. On the whole, when it gets it right, it does so very well, but when it fails, it's very noticeable indeed. The soundtrack is the biggest culprit in this respect, giving some moments a much more contrived feel than they would otherwise have had. It's clear what the aim was in these instances, but it's piled on a little thick for my taste, and there were a few points that inspired a cringe. This is the major fault that drags the picture down as a whole.
The plot is simplistic, but no worse off for it. There's nothing spectacular, but it's functional, and has just enough substance to serve as the backdrop for the two protagonists to play off each other. The film also comes across as fairly low budget, which is fine, but there are one or two glaringly obvious uses of green screen that are conspicuous in their low quality. It doesn't ruin the flick, but I found it somewhat distracting when they put in an appearance.… Expand
Jun 2, 2013I really enjoyed this movie, however, it did not exactly meet my expectations. I think both Rogan and Streisand are extremely skilled, talented, and and great at what they do, but I definitely thought this movie was going to provide more laughs than it actually did. A little bit a of a let down.
May 21, 2013Average movie in every aspect, has laughing moments, but mostly boring uninteresting story with unlikable main character. You won't remember this movie in a minute
May 19, 2013Barbra Streisand has made it very clear in the past decade or so that she doesn't need to work in Hollywood unless she wants to, and this elite paradigm insists that there's something to The Guilt Trip, believe it or not. The movie was advertised as a Hangover-style comedy for the "Memories" crowd, but even if Anne Fletcher's film defaults to comedy cliché more often than it should, one can't deny that there's a legitimate, endearing beating heart underneath the veneer of the movie. Babs' on-screen partnership with Seth Rogen is what sells the movie (unsurprisingly). Rogen may not be Hollywood's most reliable comic leading man, but when the guy shares the screen with Streisand who's still got her acting chops, by the way he frequently rises to the occasion. And when the two of them find themselves in awkward and trying scenarios (this happens often in The Guilt Trip), there's a legitimate verve and excitement to the chemistry at hand. The Guilt Trip is a slight film, almost a paper-thin one, but it's short, to-the-point, and surprisingly watchable. There are no extreme fireworks or examples of embarrassment nudity to shock its audience: the movie quietly and preciously unfolds with steady cuteness. It's not the best comedy to hit screens in 2012, but I'd wager big money that you'll watch the thing and say that it's way better than you thought it would be.… Expand
May 8, 2013Loved this movie! However, I have a Jewish mother myself and am the single mother of an only child (a son), so there were so many similarities to our life. We watched it together and laughed our heads off (son is 21). Even if you don't relate, it is still a good, touching movie that I think anyone would enjoy. The acting is very good and the story is engaging.
May 8, 2013The jokes are very calm spirited, meaning that you'll understand them, but they won't be that funny. The story feels very empty and lacks energy. I'd say moms are guaranteed to like it the most, however.
May 3, 2013This was a very good movie. Seth Rogen and Barbra Streisand are great together in the respective roles of son and mother. The humor is great if you can relate to it and the plot develops well. While there isn't much excitement or anything like that, the dialogue is delivered flawlessly and the acting is superb. I understand that not everyone will enjoy this film but if you have a parent, especially a mother who you are close with then I think you'll appreciate the nuances of the movie.… Expand
Apr 28, 2013It is way too better than what most people say, the good acting makes it so real and touching, but some scenes may bore, some scenes are sweet, but overall it is good, but not even near to a must watch, on the other hand, it is a good time, with some solid laughs.
Apr 18, 2013This is a sweet and endearing comedy, though not a blockbuster or a roll in the aisle it is perfect for anyone who wants to laugh and be entertained. Barbara Streisand steals the show delivering a great performance with memorable and emotional dialogue. Seth Rogen plays the role of the nerdy, somewhat socially awkward son who cares about his mother deeply, but fails to express it in a meaningful way. It delivers laughs and a few sentimental moments without taking itself seriously or being too sappy.… Expand
Jan 25, 2013This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. As far as books on tape go, Andy couldn't have asked for a more emasculating literary experience. With mom in-tow, a long-distance business road trip, in which the 30-year-old organic chemist-cum-entrepreneur hopes to sell his eco-friendly cleaning wares to prospective clients, starts off uncomfortably when Joyce pops in the first CD of Middlesex, the 2002 award-winning novel about a hermaphrodite, an audio tome that infers something unspoken by the mother, as 17 discs of gender-bending literature plays over the car speakers. Joyce is not all that different from Beatrice, an aspiring writer forced into fifties-era domesticity in Albert Brooks' Mother, since both women unconsciously resent their sons. Growing up, John always posed a threat to the nascent artist, and even now, the middling sci-fi writer is still deemed as competition. The son finally identifies the source of their testy relationship upon discovering Beatrice's cracks at fictional prose, stored away in a lonely box. Joyce, on the other hand, despite working out her own familial kinks with Andy, seems wholly unaware of its central flaw. Moreover, The Guilt Trip itself sees equally oblivious to Joyce's latent anger, failing to see that her seemingly earnest hyper-maternal love is in fact, a programmatic endeavor to neuter her boy. Throughout Joyce's widowhood, Andy served as a painful reminder of what could have been, saddling him with an old flame's namesake. Andy's father, perhaps, held the same reactionary mindset that a woman's place is in the house. And in Mother, the film climaxes when John, finishing his mother's sentence, adjoins her, "You just," with an epiphany that Beatrice "...raised children who she hated for ruining her life and killing her chance at doing the one thing she loved." As for Joyce, consider that frog collection, which at first glance, just appears to be a middle-aged woman's love for knick-knacks. The mother, who otherwise seems proud that she raised a go-getter, quite possibly, resents his opportunities a woman in her time and place never had. On closer examination, the amphibians seem urgent and desperate, hiding a latent regret; she never became a biologist. The son mistakenly thinks his mother's love is unconditional. On Andy's first night back in Newark, while she sleeps, he glimpses an old home movie that he takes for granted as an affirmation of her devotion. "Of all the younger boys in the world, I'd choose you every time," Joyce tells her blossoming son, who, then and now, completely misses the double-edgedness of the venerating sentiment, in the sense that girls go unmentioned, an adumbration on the mother's part which manifests itself through her affectionate browbeating. By default, Andy is the pick of the litter, as boys go, but what Joyce really wanted was a daughter. For her, the Jeffrey Eugenides novel serves as wish-fulfillment. Whereas the mother(in Lucia Puenzo's XXY), who wishes Alex, an epicene teenager, that "she" remain her daughter by agreeing to surgery which would sever the gratuitous appendage, Joyce, unknowingly, never feared a potential alchemy of the sexes, naively admitting as much at a strip joint, where Andy learns how she kept a close eye on his then-purple penis. The atypical coloring would give her an excuse to transform the phallus into a vagina. Although Joyce gave up on this dream as he got older, she still performs a sort of nightly metaphoric castration on her bed, chomping down on M&Ms(read: testicles), a ritual that becomes more pointed in a motel room she shares with her adult son. Correspondently, golf balls symbolize male genitalia in Bong-Joon Ho's Madeo, where Do-Joon, a mentally-impaired young man accused of murdering a local schoolgirl, offers the testes-like equipment, a pair, with outstretched hand as payment to a barmaid. The gist being; he's virile. But his mother owns them, which is why he inscribes his name on one, emblematizing Do-Joon's deliverance from a very controlling nurturer. Andy, similarly asexual or worse, becomes the product of his mother's projections; becomes the girl Joyce wanted, when at her son's audition for the Home Shopping Network, the host quips, "...out of your secret box,"(read: vagina) while the debilitated guest unpacks "his" ingredients for the camera. As a young man, it's no wonder that Andy proposed to his high school sweetheart at a football field, the most masculine of venues. But is Joyce a Medea figure like Hye-ja, who tries to poison her then-boy with insecticide? Yes. To improve Andy's presentation, she encourages him to drink his product. Does Joyce know for sure it's safe? At the end of Madeo, the mother boards a bus, in essence, she is going on a guilt trip. Ultimately, both women find differing meridian points to alleviate their consciences. For Hye-ja, it's a spot on her thigh where she applies an acupuncture needle, and for Joyce, it's meeting Andy's surrogate.… Expand
Jan 24, 2013a very pleasant movie that for once felt very real, the acting was great and the movie was both touching and amusing, I don't really understand the negative reviews for this movie, but then maybe all that people want are violence and sex and in your face slapstick.
Jan 5, 2013Streisand is still looking hot. I feel awkward saying that since she is the same age as my mother. I enjoyed this simple, predictable road trip movie. It does not break any new ground, but it had very little language and a kind attitude not found in many movies made today.
Jan 4, 2013This movie was worth watching just to see Barbra back in a leading comedy role again. Make no mistake, she carries this movie. The Seth Rogan character is a little annoying the first 2/3 of the film because he treats his mother so mean. Barbra gives the "Jewish Mother" character just enough believability without becoming a complete caricature. There is no big hilarious moment or scene, but a lot of little laughs throughout. Good chemistry between the two leads. Not great but worth seeing if you are a fan of Barbra Streisand.… Collapse
Jan 3, 2013I never thought I would give a positive review to this movie. It is not terribly interesting idea for the movie at a first glimpse, but a lot of it I found very biographical. It is more of drama than comedy. It seems like the script meant to be funny, but it wasn't (especially the first half). Overall the movie has some charm and warmness. I enjoy Barbra Streisand acting. To my amusement, entire a fight scene in motel was such a close citation of my mom I got to call her! :) This movie put me in a good touchy mood about the routine and my family.… Expand
Jan 1, 2013Im sorry but I found this movie to be just dreadful. There is no reason to care about any of the characters or their problems and the story altogether. It was very boring, and the humor is very dry. I chuckled all but once in it's entirety. Just wait til this one hits the Red Box.
Dec 30, 2012Absolute piece of **** I got dragged into this thing, and I gotta say, I didn't even smile. It's not funny, poorly written, Seth Rogen is miscast, and above all, it's astonishingly toothless. Despite having a decent concept, the film is way too focused on being inoffensive and 'real,' that it comes off as a soulless, lazy string of ever worst mother-child conversation ever. Skip it and see anything else in theaters right now.… Expand
Dec 28, 2012A good clean comedy that you can bring your kids too! This movie showed off more of Streisand's comedic side, rather than Rogen's. The humor is for all ages, which was nice because I had my mom and son with me to watch this one.
Dec 27, 2012Seth Rogen's character was one dimensional at best. He grunted and groaned and moped through the whole thing. The tone shifted a lot--he wanted her to come, he didn't want her to come, she was a noodge, then not a noodge. Oy. Wait for video if you think you have to see it.
Dec 23, 2012This movie is wonderful! It only came out 5 days ago, and i've seen it twice. So glad Babs is back on screen! She and Seth Rogen are the new comedy team of the decade! So warm and so real! Seth doesnt' have to resort to his usual over the top humor, and Streisand sort of classes him up! She's so good I cried about 4 times and THIS IS A COMEDY!!! A mother son movie that is so good for the holiday season....Welcome Back Barbra!!! Some amazing dramatic scenes too where Streisand acts her head off simply by movie a facial muscle or an eyelid....class in motion… Expand
Dec 22, 2012The Guilt Trip is a solid movie with a few good laughs scattered throughout. I thought Rogen was pretty entertaining with his portrayal of a late 20s guy acting embarrassed with his mom around. Who among us haven't been in similar situations? I saw it with my mom so that made it even better. Do the same if you can whether in theaters or at home.
Dec 21, 2012Full disclosure: on July 13, 1974 I sat down at a table in Lloyd
Dec 21, 2012I loved this movie! The chemistry between the two stars in so real. This movie reminds me of "The Family Stone" in tone. Barbra is wonderful. So great to have a funny, touching movie out for the holidays!
Dec 21, 2012The premise is simple and full of promise: A not-too-successful son (Seth Rogen) travels across country with his domineering mother (Barbra Streisand). With two comic greats, what could go wrong? A lousy script, that's what. While their chemistry is good, most of the lines and situations simply don't provoke laughter. There are a few chuckles sprinkled about and plenty of energy. You just keep waiting for the hilarity to begin and it just sputters along. The predictable personality conflicts and emotional moments are predictable and pedestrian. I'm a fan of both actors, but this good-natured attempt simply never gets into full comic drive. Stay thru the credits for the outtakes, which feature some of the best lines in the film.… Expand
Dec 21, 2012The Guilt Trip is a wonderful movie. It is heartfelt, funny, warm, and a lot of people can relate to it. Barbra Streisand is a treat to watch on the screen, and has great chemistry with Seth Rogen as her son. The audience I saw it with laughed heartily and seemed to enjoy it. I highly recommend this movie. Take your mom!
Dec 20, 2012I love,love this movie.it us not only funny,no it is touching.a must see for mother and sons.Barbra and Seth really have a good chemistry .But it is Barbra who makes this movie special,she is just a divine actress and i cant let my eyes from her face,so much to say,without words,heavenly
Dec 20, 2012I absolutely love this movie!! Barbra is fantastic and has some touching scenes and her comedic timing is spot on. Great movie to see around this time of year!!
Dec 20, 2012I was very much pleasantly surprised. Not a Barbara fan and NOT a "raunchy comedy" Seth Rogen fan. I was dragged by a girlfriend who loves Barbara. Thank goodness because I loved, loved, loved this film!!! It's funny and dramatic and real! It has heart! I felt like Joyce and Andy (Barbara and Seth Rogen) really were mother and son. Seth really is a great actor. Who knew? All I had seen was his silly crap in stupid, meaningless comedies with no storylines worth watching. I'm a responsible, smart 30-something, with a family and a career. I want to see good, real movies! This is seriously one of the best movies I've seen all year. Every mother and grown child should see this (I'd say 12 and up) - especially sons. I'll be buying the DVD for sure. It's a movie I think I'll watch at least once a year, Yes, it's that good. I was crying because I was laughing so hard, and then crying for real, back an forth probably three times. A definite "must-see". Now I'm going to see about some of Barbara's other films. I thought she was just a great singer and a liberal!… Expand
Dec 20, 2012I don't understand what the critic-s' problems are. The movie is cute and funny. Every movie doesn't have to be Academy Award winning material. Can't we allow ourselves to enjoy something simply because it's fun? This movie was a fun road trip, probably for an audience consisting of parents who have shared similar rides. The movie was actually touching.
Dec 20, 2012The Guilt Trip is a great movie! Streisand and Rogen have great chemistry and are totally believable as mother and son. This is a movie that will stay with after you've left the theater. It's thoughtful, warm and funny. It's more than a comedy it's a movie about parent-child relationships and transformations. I highly recommend seeing this movie. Americas "Funny Girl" still has it!
Dec 20, 2012I went to see a preview of "The Guilt Trip" and thought it was a terrific movie -- warm, funny and heartfelt. The performances by Barbra Streisand and Seth Rogen were so realistic and truthful that I completely bought them as mother and son. Reading some of the critic reviews, however, I wondered if I had been off in my assessment. So I went back on opening day to see the movie again. Well, I stand by my initial response. I would recommend "The Guilt Trip" to my friends, family and anyone reading this site. It's rare that a movie comes around that's this touching and memorable. These days comedies are broad and over the top, with bizarre situations and characters whom you'd never want to spend a minute with, let alone 2 hours. Well, "The Guilt Trip" is not that kind of comedy. In fact, it's as much a drama about how a mother and son reconnect and help each other get out of the ruts they've been living in. Barbra Streisand was especially appealing as Joyce Brewster, a mother who was not unlike my own. Did my mom drive me nuts at times? Yep. But she was also right more often than not and I found many moments in "The Guilt Trip" that reminded me of our relationship. Streisand is not a wacky Focker mom in this film. This is a charming, subtle performance that's rich with detail. I urge you all to give "The Guilt Trip" your attention.… Expand
Dec 20, 2012Wonderful film. Streisand is adorable and the heart of the movie. Her star power is not diminished. The chemistry between Barbra and Seth is great and it left me wanting Guilt Trip 2 . Streisand looks fantastic for a 70 year old woman! Go see it
Dec 20, 2012The phrase "50% of success is just showing up" comes to mind. Seth Rogen takes this to 100% (minus the success part). Streisand is a skilled and professional comedian but her talents go utterly to waste. The movie is a dud.
Dec 19, 2012Only a truly horrific actress like Barbara Streisand could suck all the funny out of Seth Rogen. This is less of a movie and more of a audio-visual beating. How did the screenwriter finish the script with any shred of self-respect? If you want to watch something that lacks any charm, wit, or humor then this is the movie for you. I'm running out of ways to say "terrible." Oh yeah, here's one more....if I had to chose between watching this movie and having my fingers cut off, I'd learn to type with my tongue.… Expand
Mar 4, 2013Crazy, Stupid, Love writer Dan Fogelman can't rebottle lightning with a humdrum comedy that doesn't play to its stars strengths.
Bickering turns to bonding over the course of a predictable affair that only comes to life during a Texan steak-eating contest that has Babs ingest a mountain of meat.
Overall, there is a fundamental lack of excitement or energy; it's a 95-minute movie that feels twice as long as "The Hobbit."

First off, Deep wounds will better for your confidence than Bloodcraze, Blood Craze is pathetic healing, the only time it will really save your life in a 5 man is if the healer ninja-left group. Deep wounds will end the fight quicker Saving the healer mana and minimizing the time you're actually taking damage. If you have a healer Deep wounds is the better survival talent.
Secondly, you want max points in Incite AND shield Specialization. Heroic strike should be making up around 35% of your damage in an infinite rage scenario (i.e. making it your biggest single source of damage). If you're not in an infinite rage scenario you need to engineer an infinite rage scenario. Shield Specialization is your best way of doing that. Incite is your only talent that affects heroic strike, and 15% chance to crit, and auto crit after that is a crap tonne of extra damage.
Gag Order: You do not need this, it's a crutch, sure it can make pulls a little easier but its really a PVP talent. Like Blood craze.
Imp Rev or Thunderstruck, Thunderstruck is technically better damage but Imp Rev is much more rage efficient. Pick one. If you don't pick Imp Rev take Rev off your bars.
Your single target rotation is wrong, its more a priory system.
1. Shield slam: if this is not on CD, put it on CD.
2. Make sure Rend is UP: If it isn't on the target use rend, If it has less than 3 seconds left refresh it via thunderclap
3. Shorten the CD of Shield Slam: if SS has more than 1 GCD left on its CD use Dev (or Rev) to proc SnB.
4. Trucking Time: this is the best GCD to use your Trucks, Shockwave and Concussion Blow. the former does more damage, the latter more threat.
YOur AoE priority should be
1. Spread Rend
2. Shockwave
3. Thunderclap
4. Revenge (if specced imp rev)
5. Shield Slam
6. Conc Blow
7. Devastate
Obviously you shuld also be keeping the demo shout buff up, anytime you're survival isn't guaranteed. Using the appropriate rage dump at above 50 rage, and Inner rage above 85 rage, as well as spell reflecting interrupting and heroic leaping.
Get Glyph of Demo shout. Makes keeping it up SO much easier. You want to try and keep your dodge and parry rating closer together for maximum Combat table coverage. Finish off your Profs. neither are that great for tanking but any bonus is nice to have. Battle shout is more important to your survival than Commanding shout if you ever have to choose between the two, at least until fully CTC capped.
EDIT: A little further information on Revenge. Don't get me wrong I love Revenge. If their was a campaign to buff revenge i'd there throwing numbers at the opposition. The problem is that it's base damage is poor compared to Devastate, and while Rev does scale better off your AP than Dev, and you do have a lot of AP, Dev also scales off your weapon damage, you need quite alot of AP before Rev out does Dev, and while this is complicaed a little by being in the situation that rev may allow a few more Heroic stikes until you reach the point where most of your gear is about a half tier ahead of your weapon Rev just never catches up to dev in terms of Damage Per Execute thanks to hits higher crit chance.

Associated Press
BEIRUT (AP) -- Gunmen from rival Sunni and Shiite Muslim villages in northern Syria have freed more than 200 people snatched in tit-for-tat kidnappings this month, easing tensions that threatened to touch off sectarian violence, activists said Friday.
In Syria's largest city of Aleppo, three explosions that appeared to be caused by missiles killed at least 14 people, activists said, adding that dozens of people were feared to be trapped under the rubble of damaged buildings.
The wave of abductions in a rural part of the Idlib province has highlighted how much the civil war between the regime of President Bashar Assad and the hundreds of rebel groups seeking his ouster has enflamed tensions between Syria's myriad of religious groups.
The Syrian regime, established more than four decades ago by Assad's father, Hafez, has largely stocked the upper ranks of the country's security agencies and armed forces with members of the ruling family's minority Alawite sect, an offshoot of Shiite Islam. Most of the rebels fighting Assad's forces are poor, rural members of Syria's Sunni majority. Other religious minority communities, like Christians and Druze, have largely remained on the sidelines.
As the conflict approaches its third year, its sectarian nature is worsening. This month, clashes broke out between Sunni and Shiite villages in the area of Qusair, near the Lebanese border. Islamic extremists who have joined the rebels have destroyed Christian liquor stores, and sometimes refer to their dead adversaries with derogatory names insulting their sects.
The Idlib kidnappings showed how quickly sectarian tensions can escalate, but also that local communities are still capable of pulling back from the brink.
Opposition activists say the abductions began Feb. 14 when a bus carrying dozens of Shiite civilians, mostly women and children, disappeared on the road to Damascus. Gunmen from the area's two Shiite villages, Fua and Kifarya, responded by snatching civilians from the Sunni villages nearby.
Some of the Sunnis were nabbed at makeshift checkpoints on rural roads, while others were taken while entering the provincial capital, which government troops still control. Many of the Sunnis captives, too, were woman and children.
"They started taking over buses from the opposition villages that were heading to Idlib city," said activist Hamza Abu al-Hassan from the village of Binnish. "Some of them had government jobs or had to file papers or were just going to visit their families."
The total number of those kidnapped remains unclear. Abu al-Hassan said they included about 35 Shiites and more than 250 Sunnis. Other activists gave higher numbers.
It also remains unclear who hijacked the bus. Local activists said no rebels claimed responsibility, possibly because the kidnappers were criminals seeking ransom or because the move was immediately criticized by opposition groups.
Local rebels threatened to storm the Shiite villages, whose residents they say have been armed by the government. But the crisis was resolved early Thursday when the Shiite captives returned home, followed by the release of the Sunni captives later in the day, activists said.
Residents of the Shiite villages could not be reached for comment, though a Facebook page for the larger of the villages, Fua, said in a post Thursday that the captives had returned.
"With God's help we have liberated our kidnapped sisters from hands of the enemies of God," the post said. It also called for "retribution."
Although the abductees have all been freed, the fundamental divide between the Sunni and Shiite villages remains.
"There will have to be a battle in the future because the army is there," Ismael Khatib, a rebel from the village of Taftanaz, said via Skype. "They have tanks there that shell us, so it is natural that the rebels will liberate the area to stop the shelling."
The explosions Friday in Aleppo, Syria's largest city and commercial capital, hit the eastern neighborhoods of Ard al-Hamra and Tariq al-Bab, the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights activist group said.
The Observatory said at least 14 people were killed, dozens wounded and many more were believed trapped under the debris.
The Aleppo Media Center activist group put the death toll at 16.
Videos posted online showed what appeared to be the aftermath of the explosions.
In one video that the caption said was from Ard al-Hamra, dozens of people, many of them with flashlights, scour the rubble in the dark in search of survivors. In another clip, at least nine bodies are laid out on a floor, some of them wrapped in blankets.
The videos appeared authentic and corresponded to other AP reporting.

About the USAID Project
Strengthening Sustainable Ecotourism in and around Nyungwe National Park
Nyungwe Nziza: Beautiful Nyungwe
Rwanda is an emerging tourist destination, and in collaboration with the Rwanda Development Board (RDB), Nyungwe Nziza seeks to help the country reach its tourism potential. To do so, the project targets the spectacular and protected Nyungwe National Park (NNP), focusing on inclusive ecotourism development for the benefit of local communities surrounding the park, and leveraging private sector investment in the management, construction, and maintenance of new and existing park infrastructure.
RDB and the Nyungwe Nziza project are working to transform NNP into a viable ecotourism destination, capable of generating employment and sustainable and equitable income for local communities and other stakeholders, thus providing economic incentives to conserve the rich biodiversity of the Park. The ultimate goal is a thriving economy in NNP with engaged communities and a private sector that realize they can benefit economically by protecting and leveraging the unique environment in which they live and work.
However, one of the central challenges facing NNP as an ecotourism destination is the low volume of tourists, which does not create enough market demand to generate alternative economic opportunities for local communities or investment incentives for the private sector.
Strengthening Nyungwe as a Destination
In addition to establishing Nyungwe as the number one birding destination in the Rift Valley, Nyungwe Nziza seeks to decrease threats to biodiversity, such as fire, poaching, and mining; increase NNP visits and revenue; develop NNP as a brand that goes beyond tourism products; increase local household incomes; and develop a core group of trained health professionals.
Our team is designing and implementing market-driven product development and marketing strategies to result in more private sector investment in infrastructure and services. The project will develop partnerships and joint ventures between local communities and the private sector to increase the availability of accommodation around the park, as well as develop new attractions. At the same time, local communities will be trained to integrate into existing and new value chains around niche products such as bird-watching, chimpanzee tracking, and cultural activities.
These investments to increase the attractiveness of Nyungwe National Park as a unique tourist destination will:
- Diversify the local economy, create jobs, and increase family income, resulting in reduced poverty and reduced threats.
- Forge scalable and creative public-private partnerships to increase investment in and around the Park, resulting in a sustainable, market-driven ecotourism business plan for NNP.
- Improve the ecotourism enabling environment, resulting in sustainable ecotourism development at Nyungwe and beyond.
- Improve the health and lives of people living in and around NNP.
