Just a man in a little bubble on a little island. Mostly bad but well punctuated observations about the movies, games, and books in my life.
Yeah, kinda agree - though I'd tolerate a couple of clubs from each nation if we could get rid of the group stages and go full knockout from the start.

(Spurs fan). Was literally thinking about this. We're obviously not going to win this competition - the main draw now is fun European away days. Why would I want fewer of them?

Incredible that they've found a way to make Pick-Up Artistry even more creepy...

I can't wait for the first legal case that gets thrown out because some chud lawyer is repeating what his Grok glasses are telling him to say.

Multi-factorial, no one reason. Plus he has years left* to chuck this firework on the bonfire at a time when other factors are aligned - maybe after mid-terms (?), if Rep. don't collapse.

1. Create members club for big oil producers (+other cronies).
2. Invade/threaten other producers (Venezuela, Iran, Nigeria, Canada).
3. Control trade routes (Egypt in the club. Panama/Greenland).
4. War on renewables.

I'm reaching, but feels like mission to become the Oil Godfather?

I found the gameplay and combat of Alan Wake a bit too clunky, and it made the game a bit of a chore by the 75% mark. However, it's not a long game (about 10hrs) and can be set to an easier difficulty in case you just want to power through for the plot.

Maybe a way to stall (perhaps even devalue) stock prices, ahead of another massive military budget announcement?

It's alright, but I think I needed at least one truly likeable character. I was a bit ground down by the unrepentant selfishness of it all.

Hats off to TC (and others) if they actually played /half/ of those shots on screen though. I don't know one end of a whiff-whaff bat from the other...

But who had the better triumphant broom-raise moment? - BroomBoy in tLJ or Dorothy in Wicked: For Good? 🤔

(I like tLJ.)

I look forward to another policy press release bemoaning UK/EU restrictions on freedom of speech of US citizens...

Fischism.

Maybe it's because fishing has too much empty time in which 'smart men' have nothing to do but think to themselves. A dangerous pastime.

Mid-gar Wright! Marty should approve.

Most people weren't alive in 1975 so not sure they're worth asking.

Would so not be surprised if the black curtain was drawn to hide that it's a person in a robot costume...

That's a shame. I found myself utterly enthralled - probably my favourite film of the year so far. Really didn't feel obvious to me in any way.

Kierans should evolve into Keiths at a certain age since that is a name for older men only.
