Yahoo as your homepage? You're definitively frozen in the 90s.

Yahoo as your homepage? You're definitively frozen in the 90s. 

By default, Firefox installs Yahoo as home page and since it's only my HTPC, I didn't bother to change it.  Now, I'm an addict to all those click-bait articles.

Then you should know who Katy Perry is.

I know of her.  I don't know anything she sings, nor do I think I would recognize her picture.
I would have told you the same about Arianne Grande before watchning SNL and hearing of the Manchester attack.

Fastest Car on Earth Parts 1&2. Still great episodes.

Not sure I'd recognize any of her songs, but I'd definitely recognize her picture.

Don Jon.  A muscled up Jersey Shore Joseph Gordon-Levitt hooks up with Scarlet Johannsen, but he has a porn addiction she objects to.  She ends up dumping him, but then we are told she's a no-good control freak anyways.  So he hooks up instead with grieving widow Julianne Moore, who teaches him the joy of reciprocal love making.

A mediocre movie.  Johannsen looks good in her Jersey fuck-me outfits, and I liked Tony Danza as the wifebeater-wearing pervey dad.  But plot and character developments are simply announced instead of shown, principally the fact that Scarlet is baaad.

Is Gordon-Levitt Jewish or half Jewish?  If so, this movie would support my contention that the Stonecutters are looking to pimp out Jewish leading men, because the one way this movie works is to break Gordon-Levitt out of the mold of the semi-nerdy sidekick.

I think Gordon-Levitt directed that movie as well.

He did, and to confirm Yi's jew-dar, he is indeed Jewish.

Don't Breathe- I came to this one in the same way as the similarly command titled Get Out. I expected a ghostly horror and got a weird thriller. 3 people break into a blind ex-soldiers house. Hilarity ensues.
The last 20 minutes were unnecessary.

Assassin's Creed: The best video game adaptation to film ever, which is still bollocks. 2.5 Fassbenders out of 5 (Irons and Cotillard, sadly wasted).

Wonder Woman: Liked it. Most fun DC hero movie since The Dark Knight, with fewer plot holes and better editing. Pity the stakes were so fucking low.

American Gods: 5.5 episodes down, and holy shit did this go off the rails hard. Very different from the book, and I'm not sure in a good way. Stardust adapted pretty weak source material to make a hell of a great movie; this is adapting amazingly good source material for a so-so adaptation.

Re American Gods. Yeah, I had high hopes, and there are some pretty good episode, or at least parts of them (I like the tv wife more than the book wife for example) but something seems off about the show. I think for me it's the way the tv show is shot. it just seems wrong.

American Gods = American Car Wreck

Weird, but had so much more potential

[Malthus]

Anyone see season 2 of The Last Kingdom?

I thought it was pretty good!

I could watch Ian McShane and Peter Stormare chew scenery for hours, and the stuff in Chicago was absolutely awesome (although the Russian was garbage, as per usual). Crispin Glover and Gillian Anderson are amazing, and so is Corbin Bernsen as Vulcan. Overall, it's strong, but even more than that, it's strongly weird.
