Paul Rudd and Keanu Reeves are Highlander-style Immortals. This is why they have never appeared in a film together, it’s too risky during the time of the Gathering. 

You don't know they aren't vampires.

Only Chuck Norris outlived Brandon, Bruce, and Christopher Lee.

I found out W*M has FF7R for $49.95, and subsequently went to the store and made a purchase.  

Jay and Silent Bob Reboot

Standalone 2/5

Part of series 3/5

Largely for same things Ish covered.  

Cats

1/5

If they would have given them cat noses/faces, I'd give it 3/5 for a musical done on screen.

Having asthma makes you feel like the call is coming from inside the house.

Dude, between my inhaler, allergies, and a poison oak accident resulting in 3 weeks of steroids....

Just picked up Brave New World and The doors of Perception.  Both by Aldous Huxley.  I've read little bits of BNW, previously. 

Someone in Admin keeps deleting posts of mine.

I already had the stls.  ^_^

Dammit, Ian.

Depends on how in-depth you want to go on the language.  I used Rosetta Stone to prep for moving to Mexico and found it lengthy but effective for preparing for immersion.  They have also changed their pricing model so now if you purchase any language you get all languages (at least so says my wife).  They also include additional features like online community and weekly exercises online if you want to get into a subscription model.

Yeah, I'm seeing that.  Pretty sweet deal, $200, get full access.  I may go that route.  French is what I'm looking into, but having access for basic travel primers for Russian, Portuguese, and Mandarin would be wonderful, too.  

Any of our frequent fliers have a recommendation on language primers?

My current group is trying to use Discord to be able to track notes and OOC stuff.  Looks like they've used it instead of Skype for playing with a couple long distance party members.  I'm not really a fan of discord, but I don't know if it is a custom interface thing, or what.  Reminds me of old IRC chats. 

Oh yeah, and you can assign visibility ranges, fog of war, Darkvision, spell effects, etc. I had only started to fiddle around with that, but it was impressive for a free environment.  My roomie prefers a dungeon engine.  he got through steam via Kickstarter, I think.  That said, the things he has as a result of paid purchase is pretty impressive.  Beyond that, the GUIs look pretty similar.  A bunch of preloaded stuff or support for various games.  

I played using roll20 when I was in Kentucky.  Decent interface.  Some free things.  Private rolls.  Ability to set up macros (eg. SWORD ATTACK (roll:1d20+PROF+STR:display result).  White board can be drawn on, or import pics from.  And we know you have ample pics to import, buddy.

Joker:  8/10 - Wow! Phoenix did a bang up job! Really like how and what they did with it. Super deep mental movie. Though I wonder if it was the realization of Suicide Squad. Or at least how I understood what they said was the direction Suicide Squad was supposed to go and eventually didn't... very interesting look at Joker.

Check out the King of Comedy.

According to my mum (ex-pat Brit), the UK isn't even a part of Europe geographically. It's its own continent.

Pretty sure it's part of the Eurasian tectonic plate. But truth is subjective these days.  And I'm not a geologist. And continental drift from riding plates isn't the same as saying plates and continents are synonymous.

My wife witnessed a man buying twelve heads of kale. When the sale was complete, he exclaimed, “We are saved!”

No one family can eat that much kale before it goes bad and I am pretty sure kale won’t save you from the Coronavirus.

You'd be amazed how many heads you can consume after using industrial equipment to pulverize them to a pulp.

Francis I would like a word. Several, actually, after the Battle of Pavia...

As Ish said, this was a very loose and broad stroke, abstract on Eurasian anthropology.  It's why I started off teasing, due to Angles and Saxons being Germanic tribes, even though Ish has expressly stated being an Anglophile previously. ^_^  The minutiae, although super fascinating, surely, is a far deeper treatise than being afforded by Random Thoughts, and deserves more.  The gist of it was establishing that Mediterranean Europe considered non Mediterranean Europe uncivilized Barbarians. I think I had largely assumed it was the Huns and Moors, but that wasn't standing up to even my own admittedly ignorant scrutiny. 

When they say barbarians destroyed Rome, they're talking about the Germans, French, Italian, and Bulgarians, in actuality, are they not?  I've never given it much though, and am not too familiar with Romes decline outside of how it relates to Fox and his martyrs.  However, it's still those fiefdoms and future countries that were ebbing and flowing with each other, and able to expand under Rome's new clothes as Pope.  Which is why I infer what I am.  Ish, too early for your germanophilia?

When I find myself in times of trouble, Kharn the Betrayer slays for me, chanting words of worship, "Blood for thee!"

I still have to remind myself that people are not, likely, referring to Jerry when they mention "Gov. Brown."
