Last night, after having previously watched our way through the first season of The Newsroom [1996–2005], we watched the movie Escape from the Newsroom [2002], which positions us for... |

| Regarding Rubikon ...don't go in with elevated expectations. I think one of the reviews on IMDb characterizes it well: "For an international low budget B-film from novice filmmakers, this was breathtakingly shot and directed, with a story that had constant tension and suspense." So, (quite... |

Welcome to WP! I hope you like it here.
Good luck with the test. Remember, the best result is a correct result.
And also remember that Autism is not a requirement for being on WP, but an interest in Autism is a good reason to be here...with or without Autism. |

Some people put a note in their signature block asking people to be patient because English is not their first language.
If you do that don't be surprised if people start saying nice things about how well you use English. |
