Everything happens so much. In the end, aren't we all just dogs playing poker?
I'm reading the sequel to Empire of Silence and it's such a polar opposite experience from the first book. Book One didn't really get interesting until the last third, whereas this book starts with a bang and never really stops.
I don’t know how to use chatgpt etc but I imagine it’s going to a website and typing “oh no what groceries do I buy please tell me false god for I am so weak I cannot go on” as your brain atrophies and leaks out of your ears from disuse and the machine is like “buy eggs milk bread and a horse”
Faraway is a tableau builder where you score your cards in reverse order. The reverse scoring is the trickiest but most interesting part of this game. #boardgames
Insane. It's a very good movie, and Tom Holland is about to get buckets of cash to re-up his contract.
‘Spider-Man: Brand New Day’ officially had the biggest domestic opening weekend of all time 💰 It grossed $360M, beating ‘Avengers: Endgame’
Cascadia. A simple tile placement game that has a lot of hidden complexity. Objectives can make it harder or easier. Really nice art as well. #boardgames
if I ever taught film criticism lesson one would be “you being smarter than the movie is not interesting to anyone”
Being a parent is pretty tough, but it's all worth it for that moment, every once in a while, when you get to take your kid to the city to see a marching band and say, "Will you defeat them? Your demons and all the non-believers, the plans that they have made?"
Man, I haven't been this stoked after seeing a Spider-Man movie since I was 12 years old leaving the theater after Raimi's Spider-Man 2.
Wow, I really liked Spider-Man: Brand New Day. Easily my favorite Tom Holland Spidey movie and the best Marvel movie in years.
Genuinely surprised by that. Wild if this movie enters into the top ten best box office of all time.
‘Spider-Man: Brand New Day’ ($168M) passes ‘Avengers: Endgame’ ($157.4M) in earning the biggest opening day at the domestic box office in history.
Mindlessly scrolling through Letterboxd, how had I never noticed this before
Technology is cool, too bad they made it evil
Ralph Ineson is in AC: Black Flag. I definitely didn't recognize him when I first played but he sure stands out in the remake.
Bookshelf, is a simple stacking game where you stack cards and books in certain order. Basically reverse "Jenga" A fun, simple party game. #boardgames
The song "Going Shopping" off the new Strokes album is so insanely auto tuned I can't stand to listen to it. What the hell are they going over there?
I did not realize the D&D: Honor Among Thieves writers also wrote Spider-man: Homecoming. Kinda makes me like the movie even more.
