Marvelous quarantine music.

You’re all being way too hard on the 64. Mario Tennis, Mario Kart, and Super Smash Bros. have all aged fine and look good on a decent TV. 

Poor Adam 

The N64 market is also thriving right now. Systems are harder and harder to find and games I bought months ago have now doubled or tripled in price. 

Renard getting impaled by a rod is almost as anticlimactic as Carver just standing in front of the giant saw thing making no attempt to duck or run. Can’t even remember how that idiot in DAD in the dumb Power Ranger suit died, but at least Trevlyn had a solid death. 

Neil Winters’ daughter Lily had ovarian cancer 10 years ago or so and the whole storyline was so well done. I think I actually liked it a bit better than Sharon’s cancer storyline so far even though the actress is nailing her scenes. 
 

Nick and Sharon were high school sweethearts and were married for a decade or so until Nick had an affair with Phyllis 15 years ago or so after Sharon’s daughter and his adopted daughter Cassie died in a car accident and ended up having a daughter with her and leaving Sharon soon after. They’ve had a few teased reunions over the years, however, including when Nick ended up cheating on Phyllis with Sharon and had a daughter with her. Two almost trips down the aisle have also been spoiled by Phyllis coming out of a coma to reveal Sharon changed Summer’s paternity to Jack instead of Nick and Nick sleeping with Phyllis the night before another almost-wedding to Sharon. 

Beyond devastated that stupid Kyle and Summer got Theo fired from Jabot. Really hoping Jack comes to Theo’s rescue, but I just don’t know. 
 

Nick and Sharon shared a lovely scene together. I’d love these two back together but I’m torn because Rey is such a good guy to Sharon. 
 

Looks like the Billy/Amanda/Lily triangle is full steam ahead!

Recently re-watched the Dalton and Brosnan flicks with my Pops. I had mistakenly remembered Denise Richards being in Die Another Day. Had she been, TWINE would've perhaps been almost as tight as GoldenEye.

I don't mind these love triangles, keeps the storyline on its toes lol. Nate is such a good guy, hopefully whoever he ends up with treats him right. I am definitely feeling the chemistry between Billy and Lily though!

Plus Victoria might want Billy back if she see him torn between Amanda and Lily

Speaking of Summers parents...what are your thoughts on that? Yes...they are horn dogs lol but no one can make Nick smile like Phyllis, so that is nice to see. We will see just how long it lasts though!!! Just like Kyle and Summer....probably not too long. 

I've always preferred Phyllis with Jack and Nick with Sharon. Rey and Sharon have really grown on me, though, so I guess I'm okay with Nick and Phyllis if it means Sharon and Rey can remain happy together. A Phyllis/Nick/Jack love triangle could fantastic now that I think about it, and a good throwback to how Summer was conceived

Are you ready for a Billy/Lily/Amanda love triangle because I definitely am. Maybe Nate will lose interest in Amanda and find his way to lonely Victoria?

As was mentioned he was on a ton of shows back in the day. One in particular that I remember is the cult classic The Night Stalker.  He played an out of control werewolf running amok on a cruise ship. Hilarious stuff.

That's sweet. Don't forget he also played an awesome villain in one the Planet of the Apes movies. 

The Missus has been making some damn good fried egg sandwiches lately.

Wasn't too keen on Jojo. Parasite was a vastly superior film.

No yeah you are right in that aspect like a real date...its just that he is *always* there like they are already dating or something. you know?

Theo just can't resist Lola's spinach empanadas

I do love how Theo has put so much thought into their first date and appears to be a true romantic while Kyle and Summer just seem to be mindless sex like her parents.

They aired an episode of Y&R today from 1993. Victor pretty much looked the same.😄

His cameo in Titanic was a real hoot in the cinema back in the day

Nice to see some love and appreciation for the criminally underrated Phantom Menace.

I always thought that from the beginning but maybe now Theo is actually developing feelings toward Lola...but either way it's too early! Lola is just getting over her marriage breaking up...no need to be with Theo right away. Come on!

Theo and Lola are taking things pretty slow, if you ask me. They haven't even gone on their first date yet while Kyle is off boinking Summer.

Just now, marlingrl03 said:

I'm sure that will be coming! They both LOVE getting under each other's skin.

I'm worried Theo isn't completely into Lola, though, and a big part of his attraction to her is that it gets under Kyle's skin. I also fear Jack is going to cut Theo off from the family once he finds out he's working with Kyle's secretary to dig up dirt on Kyle. 

TV shows require such a big time and emotional commitment that movies have probably become more satisfying the older I get.

Kyle Abbott is beyond annoying. Really wish Theo would just knock him on his smug ass!

I totally agree with you. I love Slash's Illusions tone too, but the whole production sounds killer on TSI.

Matt's drums sound better on TSI than UYI in particular for me. 

Listened to Contraband yesterday for the first time in years and was surprised how well it's held up. 

Even with a gun to my head I don't think I could choose between The Great Gatsby and Catcher in the Rye.

Carlitos Way is good but its a bit...thin.  Its one of those films where performances and pathos make up for a slight lack of plot.  Its a good film though, I really like it and Sean Penn really does steal the show.  In the original script his character was meant to survive but De Palma weren’t having it.  I think it would’ve been a more substantial statement if his character had survived.

I don't find it thin so much as perhaps cliche-heavy with the whole subplot with his girlfriend. Stuff like the prison escape and the shootout to at the train station made it a bit more engrossing for me than Scarface. Also love the opening courtroom scene where Carlito trolls the judge mercilessly and the pool hall scene where Carlito says to the one guy, "this shot will make you give up your religious beliefs" 

I've still been going for nice walks with the Missus just about everyday. All the parks around here are closed but conservation areas remain open for use.

Total Recall is based on a Philip K. Dick story, the same who wrote Blade-Runner (Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?) and Minority Report. Good adaptation. Arnie at the height of his powers also. 

I watched 1917 but I was half-pissed at the time. 

K. Dick also wrote the story for Paycheck, which has a horrific film adaptation with Ben Afleck.
