Latest It's Always Sunny wasn't awful, but it wasn't the best. Last week's with Malcom in the mIddle was great though.

PDH!

Syt

First two episodes of Muscles & Mayhem: An Unauthorized Story of American Gladiators.

As kids we watched the show (it was usually on Saturday afternoon in Germany IIRC); we weren't exactly invested in it, but it was cool, mindless fun to watch that you could tune in and out of quite easily. And even before clicking play on that first episode I had the opening theme in my head again. :D

Nostalgia trip to the 80s so far, and reminiscing on how messed up things were (i.e. you wouldn't be able to produce a show like that today).
I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein's brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.

Not gonna lie, this looks good. Though the music is jarring. Also, how long is that movie - they seem to cram A LOT into it. :unsure:

3 hours, 10 minutes. Gonna need to bring my piss jug to the theater.
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

I want to watch it but I'll have to wait until it appears on Apple TV. Can't justify being out an entire afternoon for this movie.

It seems to cover his entire rise and reign 'till Waterloo? Seems a lot for a 3-hour movie. But it looks amazing.

Josquius

Finished Last of Us. Aye. It's good.
The big stand out question I have though is, spoilers....
why at the University do the cannibals attack them with melee weapons when we see later they clearly have plenty of guns

I think the answer is that they were raiders, and only the equivalent of the Pretorian Guard got the guns

Too short. It should be 4 hours plus with an intermission.

We're all old people now.  We have to be in bed by 20:30 at most.  Can't go to the theater for a movie at 19:30.
I don't do meditation.  I drink alcohol to relax, like normal people.
