Only if you mock the developer about it.

Give The Gods Must Be Crazy a try. A coke bottle is dropped into a native village by airplane. Chaos ensues, so the patriarch goes on a quest to get rid of the bottle.

The Last Kingdom made it two and a half seasons before it started wiping its ass with the books. So that's better than one season I guess. It made a point of destroying the Father Beocca subplot in season 3, the one saving grace of season 4 was Hasten becoming a cartoon villain, and season 5 I couldn't make it past episode 2. But they can never take the first two seasons from me!

Presumably her last act on Earth was to perform a Z snap.

If he keeps whining people should ask him why he stole the plot of Home Alone from 3615 code Père Noël.

I liked the book. I thought that starting each chapter with the next sequential letter in the alphabet was clever. The movie covers the first half of the book, and the second movie picked and chose random parts of the book to feature while telling a similar but different story. I've shown my kids the movies, and will go through the book with them.

The instrument reminds me of a certain Organ that used people instead of pipes. Could this young man be descended from the Sultan in The Adventures of Baron Munchausen?

It might just have been the translation I was using, but the Iliad did convince me that Homer was a blowhard with a nipple fixation.

It's too far away to attend. I'd enjoy becoming a Master of White Supremacy.

You have to be in the right mood, it has minimal music which means more than most people realize when movie watching, but White Zombie is okay. If you want a similar idea but more modern and edgier you could go for The Serpent and the Rainbow. Both are about Zombies as perceived in Voodoo culture rather than as flesh eating ghouls.

Arsenic and Old Lace is superb. Mostly a comedy but takes a sudden turn into suspense briefly but effectively before the final act goes back to comedy.

Wow, that was cringe and gay even for Honest Trailers.

If you want something different, try Danger UXB. It's about a man who is forced to do on the job training as a bomb disposal officer in London during the Blitz. It gets too heavy into the soap opera aspects after a while, but each episode is at its heart about a bomb and how to get rid of it.

I worked for Hollywood video in 2007-2008. This was shortly before they went under and Blockbuster collapsed not long after. We were instructed to destroy all VHS tapes that couldn't be sold for a dollar. Customers begged us to let them just take them but we had managers watching to prevent this.

We couldn't let customers use the bathroom because they kept stealing disks from the DVD boxes in there. Management made a point of only assigning one employee to work on Friday nights. I stuck around in spite of massive turnover, but the whole work by yourself on Friday repeatedly is what finally finished me.

Customers were frequently snotty especially if they came in at Thanksgiving and Christmas. If you did not give them what they wanted instantly they would sneer and say, "I'm switching to Netflix. It's the future!" Some customers were great, especially the prison employees who came in to get stuff for the prisoners to watch, nothing rated R. Usually it was a quiet job to do where hours just passed, but when it got bad it got really bad.

I won't deny there was probably a time it was better, and maybe my area was worse than most, but it did not end well. The movie "Be Kind Rewind" speaks to me in ways that it probably should not.

Yasuke has been getting pushed for years. They already dumped him into the Samurai Warriors franchise. I'm hoping the push back grows and people realize that in most countries throughout history, you only saw foreigners at ports, trading posts, and during wars. And that's okay.

The first time I heard of Dev was him claiming to be a GamerGate expert on Side Scrollers. He insisted that while GamerGate was good it did contain a harassment campaign, sighting tranny Brianna Wu as his example. He was called out on this by other guests as spreading lies with no evidence and he shut up. Since then, he has been stalking the comments of that channel. Any time he speaks he comes across as disingenuous and a well poisoner. "I'm a centrist, but stay away from the right wing meanies, am I right guys!" That shit was old when I was in college during the 2004 election.

If they are exactly one year apart or less they can be referred to as Irish Twins. It's not a common term because babies aren't usually born that close together. It's mostly a conversation piece.

Not a movie, but an old TV show that's free on You Tube is The Swamp Fox. It's about the American Revolution and the Guerilla fighting in South Carolina. It stars Leslie Nielsen. I first saw bits of it in reruns in the late 8os. A fun Spring/Summer time show, and seems appropriate with Memorial Day coming up.

The Never Ending Story, previous was Flashman and the Tiger. The first half of Never Ending Story is the basis for the first movie, the second half is more or less the second movie. Flashman and the Tiger is probably the least of the Flashman books, but they are all solid historical fiction with notes concerning the real events they were based on. Harry Flashman is a man you would hate IRL, but is quite fun to read about.
