Bautista said that he had two questions for Mendes before he took the role. “I asked him if Mr. Hinx was a badass. He said, ‘Yes, he’s a badass.’ I said, ‘Well, is Mr. Hinx intelligent?’ He said, ‘Very.’ That’s what I like about Mr. Hinx,” the Guardians of the Galaxy actor explained. “He’s very well dressed and very well mannered. I’m not just here to fight people. He has a sense of humor. He definitely knows what a metaphor is.”

I'm dying to get on one of these Sproings, the awesome fitness tool that lets you run like you’re on the moon. To "sproing", you’ll strap yourself in to a treadmill-like device and let the conveyor belt start rolling. Only instead of pounding a hard, rubberized conveyor belt, you are stepping on strong, springy cushion that is designed to reduce pressure and discomfort on your knees. The sensation is supposed to feel like running on the beach (a prospect that sounds thoroughly enjoyable). I need my gym to order a Sproing. Mostly so we can say I'm going “sproinging.”

Pose Method is the scientific theory used to describe how all people run. Sproing is the first and only product endorsed by its founder, Dr. Nicholas Romanov.
