Top Reasons to Avoid Payoneer Mastercard!



Payoneer used to be a good company but now they have changed for the worse.

Here are my reasons to avoid the Payoneer Mastercard service and Payoneer in general.

1) Fees are high. Last year the fees were much lower but now they have increased the currency conversion fees and reduced the the exchange rate for their benefit.

2) EUR balance cannot be withdrawn before reaching 200 Euros! And they don't have any method of transferring EUR balance to US balance! What a fuck-up.

3) Customer service is rude and dismissive and takes forever to get back to you unless on Live Chat.

4) Most of the time their card are not supported at local ATM machines. And when they do the ATM fees are very high.

11.22.63 review!

So just saw the first episode based on Stephen King's book. Now I have never read the book so I went in knowing hardly anything and was pleasantly surprised. Loved how they recreated 60's America- loved the oversaturated color palette. Loved the music. Loved everything.
Its about a guy sent back in time to prevent the assassination of President John F. Kennedy.

London Has Fallen review!

This is classic old-school action movie harking back to the days of Die Hard clones. But a very well done clone. Sure its got a lot of CGI but its so well done you don't realize that most of the London surroundings and wide angle shots are all CGI.
And its got a good strong lead actor with character. I have always like Gerard Butler since his 300 days. He's up there with Liam Neeson as one of the most watchable action stars in film today.

It has some great car chases where there is no stupid Michael Bay type camera shakes. Everything looks like a solid 80's throwback action style even though most of it might be CGI.

Overall I loved this movie- it makes sense and is even remotely plausible compared to the superficial superhero crap that is rampant these days.

God Approved.

My Favourite Star Trek episodes Ever!

Ok I am not a true Trekkie nor a big Star Trek fan. But I do love the franchise. I love how every episode they go where no one has gone before and run into situations that are pretty neat.
Sure its fucking stupid in most ways- like how all aliens look human and talk perfect American. Plus how they circumvented Relativity with Warp Drive and Subspace nonsense.
But if you can get over all that the core stories are pretty good and some even masterpieces.

Having seen all episodes of The Original series and the Next Generation recently plus here are some of the episodes that really struck me as utterly incredible.

City on the Edge of Forever

Top 10 Most Epic Scenes in Movie History!

A personal collection of scenes I consider to be the greatest cinematic moments that defined EPIC.

In no particular order.

Star Wars- A New Hope Opening Scene.
This ladies and gents was how George Lucas changed not only Hollywood, not only how movie were made, but Human Culture as a whole. Just this one epic shot. After this the World was never the same again.







Empire Strikes Back Asteroid Chase- Before CGI, Before Disney this was something truly epic from George Lucas.



Return of the Jedi- Speeder bike chase
Probably the fastest chase scene in cinema history! Combination of Star Wars with trees and speeder bikes and blasters and lightsabers... oh just watch it for FFS.



Jurassic Park T-rex Attack
 This was the moment that CGI truly came on to center stage. Combined with Spielberg's Godlikeness and incredible filmmaking skills this was something you will never forget.


Raiders of the Lost Ark Truck Chase
this has it all- Naziz, deserts, trucks, epic stunts, more stunts and Indiana Jones. Probably the greatest earthbound chase scene ever.


Raiders of the Lost Ark Opening Scene
 Opening scene with ancient temples, booby traps runaway boulders. This set the stage for Indiana Jones to conquer the world- right off the bat.


Temple of Doom Mine cart chase
combination of real sets and miniatures and effects so well done that you don't which is which make this something truly extraordinary.


Ben Hur Chariot Race
The Most Epic Scene from the Most Epic Movie.


Aliens- Final battle with the Queen.
Stan Winston and Jim Cameron truly outdid themselves with this final battle. Once you see it you will never ever forget. 'Get away from her you bitch'.


The Matrix Reloaded- Freeway chase
An incredible setting allows for some of the most incredible scenes imaginable all the while going full speed on a highway

World's first color photographs!

Stills from 102 years agoThese photographs are from 1913, one year before the start of World War I. And yet, they have an extremely modern feel and a dreamlike quality that wouldn't seem out of place in an Instagram feed.

They were taken using a process known as Autochrome, which debuted in 1907. It was invented by the Lumière brothers and was the earliest widely available color photography technique before film caught up in the 1930s.
The photographer is Mervyn O'Gorman, a famed British engineer. The girl is believed to be his daughter Christina, captured on a day at the beach in Lulworth Cove, southern England.

Gang member shot while taking selfie in Chicago!


CHICAGO, IL — A 30-year-old man standing on the corner of 56th Street and South Hoyne on Chicago's South Side was smiling and jawing into a cell-phone video camera perched on a selfie stick when someone shot him down in the street last week.
The man, who's known as "Sugar Ray" and is said to be a convicted killer and documented gangbanger in his own right, is chattering on about the corner store when he catches sight of the shooter — you can glimpse the moment of recognition in his eye.
