Clubhouse Games is a great time waster.

.

I've watched enough of the movie through clips on YouTube that if I stitched them all together it would be maybe 75% of it. Does that count?

Same for Margin Call.

#2 was first. #6 is my favorite. I know it's polarizing but I unlocked every cheat in GoldenEye with that thing.

Honorable mention to the guitar peripherals for Guitar Hero and Rock Band.

Dario Argento. His output from 1970 to 1985 is towering. Take your pick between conventional giallo or supernatural, it's all pretty great.

Some love for the "boy mentor" characters who are the rockstars of the neighborhood. They're impossibly cool and they could be spending their time doing cool big kid shite, but they have the heart to take the less cool kids under their wing and guide them through life.

Benny the Jet:






Chris Chambers:






I think a big reason why these movies resonate so much with us is because we all had a Chris or a Benny in our lives at some point.

Kruger in Elysium. Dude was scary as hell.

There's a lot of shite that haunts me about this case but the one that breaks my heart the most is her question.

"Are you a kidnapper?"

I don't know how to articulate how that question makes me feel. I imagine the torrent of mixed feelings pouring out of that little girl. Seven years old, all the trust and naivete in the world, brought to bear in that one little poignant question.

I can feel her innocence just being sapped away.

It's as if he purposefully gave her time to process the fact that something really bad was about to happen to her. I almost hate that more than the physical abuse that he actually inflicted.

I firmly support the death penalty here because this guy is a monster, and monsters like this can't get to Hell fast enough.

It's pretty hard to pin this one down. Action, horror, and scifi at the forefront and it'd be a top seed in all three genres. There's a smattering of political thriller in the first act and a hint of mystery in the second act, too.

It's either 1 or 1A on my list of all-time favorite movies.

I hate snarky dialogue in superhero movies but that line cuts fricking deep.

I'm a mild Big Ten homer. Very satisfying to see an OG conference member bring home a basketball natty after watching several other teams blow it on this stage over the last 25 years (and Queen Cait on the women's side).

I don't count UCLA yet.

Grats Wolverines. :cheers:
