Bad Times At The El Royale (2018) The El Royale hotel, located off the beaten path, built right on the California/Nevada border with its main lobby, lounge and restaurant spanning each side of both States and with rooms located in both Nevada and California, was during its heyday in the 1950's the go to place for the wealthy and powerful and famous. The movie opens in 1959 with one solitary man checking into one of El Royale's rooms. Most folks when they first walk into a hotel room, they make sure that there are plenty of towels, that the TV works, that the bed is not too hard and there are plenty of pillows on it: this unidentified person does something completely different, opposite, very strange and unconventional which I will not give away. Fast forward 10 years to 1969, the El Royale has lost its luster and most of its rooms have fallen into disarray. Very few people even know it exists and its rooms have not seen any guests in a long time. 4 strangers arrives at the hotel at almost the same time: a priest, a down and out back up singer dreaming of becoming the next big act in Reno's finest casinos, a traveling vacuum cleaner salesman, and a foul mouthed young woman. 4 strangers who do not know each other with nothing in common and who will give new meaning to two of the many social etiquettes our parents taught us as soon as we were old enough to understand them: 1. don't talk to strangers and 2. don't stick your nose in business that doesn't concern you. To say any more is to spoil the movie. I can say that the first act of the movie where each one of the 4 strangers are introduced with a backstory and a flashback scene is the best part. But the 2nd act where the story tries to cohesively bring them together by finding some type of common ground among them is when the story begans to unravel and fall apart. Then by the time the 3rd and final act is shown, everything just felt forced, formulaic, convenient and way too clean and tidy. We have seen this movie many times before, there is even a genre name for it on IMDB: "Group of Strangers meet in a one room setting movies" Director Drew Goddard, famous for his directorial debut of the very successful anti-horror comedy Cabin In The Woods and for writing critical hits such as The Martian and Cloverfield, tries to take something that's been done before and elevate it to a different and better level: he attempts to do so by evoking narrative and exposition styles borrowed from many similar movies before it but he just can't completely pull it off. On IMDB, this movie has received a rating of 7.3 out of 10.0] using the mean average from a total of 381 reviews: 65 of them gave it a 10 out of 10, calling it: A Must See, Brilliant, Great Movie!, Outstanding, Best I've seen in a long time, Awesome, Wow, They don't make it like this anymore, Best Tarantinosque movie ever, Best Movie of 2018, Favorite film of 2018, etc., etc. 180 of them gave it an 7 to 9 out of 10 rating with equal praises to boot. On Rotten Tomatoes, out of 218 critics who reviewed it, 191 of them gave it a Fresh tomato rating and called it exquisite, audacious, top notch, intriguing, mesmerizing, magnificent, etc., etc. This must be the most critically over-hyped movie by both audience and critics I've seen this year and in the past couple of years. It's worth a look if you have almost 2 hours and 21 minutes to spare but by the time the ending credits start to roll, you won't even have one memorable scene from it to remember it by. 1/5

Take that, you packages stealing Grinches!!
The UPS person always rings the bell and sometimes the USPS too if it's big. Also if I order from amazon I get a notification on my phone and Alexa has a yellow notification light too when delivered. Also through amazon you get a notification when your packages are a few stops away to track it.

Take that, you packages stealing Grinches!!
it's terrible people take packages from your porch that's so low life. It happened quite a few times and I'm surprised with the info he gathered it's not enough for the police to bother to do something. The short solution is to use an Amazon locker rather than your porch which is sad. What's wild is it wasn't the same person all the time. It was a different person and it appears people make a career out of scoping porches and taking peoples packages. I'm glad I don't live in that neighborhood.

You use to have to wait a year for a dvd but now it can be as short as 3 months. I think that and high popcorn and soda prices have killed the movie theater business. It's a lot cheaper to wait and the whole family can watch for one price for on demand.

22 years today October 25th 1996
Yes it was Tomb Raider One. Sega and Dreamcast couldn't compete with the popularity of the Playstation. Amazing when you think about how the Xbox took off. I guess the key was to have a ton of money behind it to succeed.

22 years today October 25th 1996
When I think of TR2 I have it burned into memory "The Opera House" I was near the end of the level above the stage floor and not knowing what to do and stuck I thought it was best to drop to the stage floor and go back through the opening again. When I dropped down the opening was closed and I had to start the level all over again. A Walkthrough Prima Book at the time told me to jump to the balcony on the right. Also I didn't do the James Bond jump with the boat I had to do it the hard way in 23 seconds before the doors closed in Venice. If I ever play it again I want to do that.

Tomb Raider 1 and 2 Possibly Pre-Loaded on PS1 Classic
It’s being claimed that there are “hidden” games within the console that can’t yet be accessed, and the list is a show-stopper. By the way, here are some games that are stored on the PlayStation Classic that Sony won't enable. They're literally already downloaded on the console... Although there’s yet to be any solid proof that the claim is true, fans are desperately hoping it is. The likes of Toy Story 2, Tomb Raider 2, Silent Hill, PaRappa the Rapper and Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone are on the list. All of these are games we’d love to get our hands on tbh… It’s not known how we’d access these games, but people are wondering whether or not a USB would do the job, considering the console has no internet connectivity. link Source code allegedly obtained from the PlayStation Classic has been shared online, with it containing a slew of game files that aren’t playable on the console. These include many highly requested games such as Silent Hill, Driver, and Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver, along with underrated classics like Klonoa and Parasite Eve. While the games aren’t playable, files for each of the 36 games are visible in the system’s source code. Second Source
