Mine doesn't. It works great on my iPad. Slow on my PC. Any idea why?

My first suggestion to you would be to clear out your cookies, browser history, and etc. If that doesn't work perhaps try a different internet browser? If that still doesn't work I'd suggest a virus scan and go from there.

Jalopnik and such has been going down the tube lately. I'm not sure why every idiot writer feels the need to push their political views. I don't give a crap about what Trump, Obama and etc did or does necessarily when it comes to cars or surfing unless it can directly effect it.

Have/tried all of those things. No idea what is going on. Thought it might have been the ad blocker, but it doesn’t seem to matter.

Without knowing all that much about the current state of your pc, what else do you use it for? How old is your PC? Perhaps this is an OS issue or a hardware issue. You could try restoring from an old restore point or if you don't care about what is on it, reformat your PC. There are a few programs you can try to test your memory sticks as well.

Yeah I’ll play around with it. Thanks.

Not a good week.

Monday: Fiance'e sister got deployed to Puerto Rico a month before our wedding.

Friday: Sister in law's sister lost her baby a week before her baby shower.

Today: Tailgating at Eagles game and my younger brother randomly passes out and hits his head on the concrete. Still trying to figure out why.

I know it's two "different" weeks but damn this week needs to end.

Sorry to hear about your rough times. Hoping they come in 3 and it's all out of the way now.

How about those fast moving wildfires out in northern California. Unreal. 1500 structures destroyed and over 30000 acres burned

What are some of your favorite artistic romance films?

I'm doing research for a heartbreaking short film/music video that i'm doing for my next song. Want some references.

When i shot my most recent one, i did like 1000 hours of horror films and documentaries.

Here a few that come to mind, but it depends your interpretation of "artistic."

The Apartment
Manhattan
Harold and Maude
Notorious
The Quiet Man
West Side Story

Brooklyn
Some Like it Hot

Ton of animated movies to consider as well.

Good list. Especially like the Lost In Translation addition. Something about that film speaks to me.

Last of the Mohicans has a strong romance theme, but it's not surprising Magua left that out because he really wasn't feeling the love in that flick.

Ah, you misremember.

In the Huron village at the end of the movie, the chief declared: "Munro daughter with moon in her hair must be Magua's wife so Munro's seed doesn't die."

Magua wanted to love her, take her dancing, go on long walks together, and raise a family of little Maguas.

But Munro's daughter was very unfair to him!

I'll second Punch Drunk Love. I thought Sandler was great in that.

Surprised no one said Garden State yet. I like Zach Braff from watching Scrubs, but he's definitely someone you either love or hate. Pretty terrific soundtrack in that movie too.
