    It is a book, though. And the stage production covered only about 60% of the book. I have no skin in the game here because I have no interest in or intention to see the movie, but it’s totally...

    I have no skin in the game here because I have no interest in or intention to see the movie, but it’s totally inaccurate to say this isn’t the same as a book adaptation. It absolutely is, and the book released nearly a decade before the stage show.

    Seaman is the best game on Dreamcast by a wide margin. Not sure if it can be properly emulated but if it can - holy fuck there isn’t another game like it.

    Tom Cruise is one of a handful of actors that will get me to watch a movie only because he’s in it. Not only is he a joy to watch - the man has impeccable taste in choosing scripts. I can’t think of a bad movie he’s been in since the 90s. I’ll always see what he’s putting out, and I always enjoy it - it’s just not great acting.

    Amazing actor? Ehh he’s okay. He’s got a ton of charisma and is very fun to watch, but he isn’t doing a ton of capital-A Acting.
