Ryan Gosling is definitely capable of changing the tone. He is a completely different character in The Nice Guys. I don't know, he's easily my favorite actor of the current generation. I can't even really think of who is on his level in his age group. Will Smith? Jude Law? He's a bit younger than those guys.

This just in: Rampage breaks the trend of bad video game movies.

I bought a refractometer and had fun testing the levels of my beer to determine ABV.

I'm not sure if it is the end of Al Franken, although it wouldn't surprise me. I think it is important to distinguish that his behavior was a terrible attempt at humor, rather than sexual gratification. But that may not really matter if the end result is the same.

In a kind of similar vein, I always find it odd when I'm at the store with my kids, old people will come up to us and be like "Dad's in charge today!" They say it like it is some sort of rare occurrence, like I am filling in for my wife for a day. It's so bizarre. The reality is the opposite, I probably have them on my own more often due to my wife's schedule, and I'm damn good at it.

This seems like a lot of work for us all just to agree Jagged Alliance 2 is the greatest game of all time.

I think a lot of it has to do with time, place, and preference more than anything else, really. Labrynth was a part of my childhood. There are plenty of things I just don't get. I'm sure Anime is special, but I've never gotten into it.

Yeah, but you don't like anything. I can't help my refined taste. Actually you can. It's a state of mind. Being easily entertained is a positive trait.

Yeah, but you don't like anything.

That's it, go in the hole with Bart! How dare you?!?

I looks pretty fake, mostly because a lot of those actors are busy doing bigger things than an Amazon show. It's like they just took a bunch of Star Wars actors and put LotR names under them.

Welcome to the forums.

I've been sneaking in time on Super Mario Odyssey as well whenever my son isn't paying attention. Whenever he notices I am playing his game he feels the need to tell me what to do.

I'd guess the face palming is at the silly communist propaganda.

This just in: Bart is a bad person for hating on 5th Element.

I like the idea of having access to an HOA pool, because pool maintenance is a hassle. But other than that they are a pain.

I think it's a matter of perspective for him. He comes across as a guy that really has trouble with authority, even when he is the one with it. Nothing wrong with that, not everybody is a good fit with a corporate type structure, but he does seem to lack awareness about it. Of course, this is all speculation, but there simply hasn't been anything egregious that he has brought up, instead it has just been hints and slights.

Has anyone noticed what is happening to the air in New Delhi?

I can see it being terrible, but I will still watch it. Tom Bombadil should be played by the Robert Baratheon actor.

I will add on to my AC: Origins impression, it has one of the worst forced actions I can ever imagine pretty early on. You start the game out on a path of revenge, and it becomes pretty clear that your son was killed and that is the motivation for your vengeance. But they way they handle it, via cut scene, is just lame. It's sloppy. There would have been plenty of motivation just by having the son die, but they decided to make it way worse in an attempt to be edgy. :/

AC Origins definitely has a lot more variety to the combat. That's what I've been playing lately. Exploring Ancient Egypt is fantastic.

Speaking of Netflix, I have been watching Mindhunters and it is fantastic. I have Netflix and Amazon (for the shipping as well, although they've also become my place to buy digital movies.) I splurged on HBO Now (or is it Go?) and I've been happy with their mix of content and newer movies. But that's probably my limit, I can't imagine holding more than 3 subs. It's a great time to be a content creator, I'd imagine. All of these networks are trying to attract subscribers with original content. I don't think it can last, but my hope is the cable model where a couple companies make you pay one price for a ton of content you don't want will die off soon. The problem is local news and sports are still a big pull for the traditional model.

It's strange to me that people are toting it as the year's top shooter when there wasn't much competition to begin with. Call Of Duty... and? Maybe Destiny 2 and Battlefront 2 of those can be called shooters. Hmmm. That actually sounds like some pretty major competition. Call of Duty's return to WW2, Bungie's first full sequel to their major property, and a Star Wars game are pretty big deals.
