Casablanca: 8/10

There are certain older movies regarded as classics that I've never seen. Casablanca is among them. "Frankly my dear I don't give a damn!" That's this movie right? Oh actually it's not, kid. A surprise for me was as well regarded as this movie is, the director Michael Curtiz, is basically a nobody. Whenever this movie comes up his name is never dropped. But if you brought up Citizen Kane you're going to hear about Orson Welles (I guess it helps he starred in it too) but I think you catch my drift.

The film is set in the 1940s and is naturally about refugees and Nazi occupation. Refugees spread across Europe but seems like Casablanca is the lowest place a person could go. It's like the Mos Eisley of Earth! Humphrey Bogart plays Rick, the proprietor of canteen that can provide people some favors. That being said Rick is light on his allegiances though obviously will never side with a Nazi. In any case Nazis find themselves in the neighborhood because two German couriers carrying letters of transit were murdered and they want to pin it on a dude who's part of the underground resistance. A woman comes back into his life, long story short this is gonna be the beginning of a beautiful friendship.

I think there are things to enjoy here, the writing is probably the best part. All the lines are sharp and Bogart is the perfect guy to deliver them. I think the whole Nazi tension aspect is probably the best part of the movie. The love story for me was kind of just fluff, although it obviously ties into the plot so it needs to be in the movie. The ending has some unexpected turns as well. I think it's a movie that does hold up today but I might not hold it in as high regard as some people.

I always thought she was Adam's FIRST wife... according to lore. I first heard about her in an old Ghost Rider comic 

Heh, well whatever the story was he was oddly fascinated with her asking me if I knew websites I could find information on and I think he even put some bookmarks in a bible to where she's referenced or something. He also always pronounced the name weird. I always thought of it like lilith (like an I like "lift") and he always said lil-leth (like the e in "seth")

This game is sitting very nicely in my mind post finish. I think it might be a genuine 10/10. Nothing is perfect but boy am I low on complaints with this one.

Now go back and play the original with the HD mod!

My dad would always talk about her. He was always like, "You know of this woman that existed before Adam and Eve?"

I'm going to attempt this tomorrow and see how I do. I'm actually kinda nervous.  😓 

Breathe, relax, take your time. 🧘‍♀️

The way his lawyer worded it, it sounded like he suspected something else, something foul was the cause, like he had been poisoned or something. 

It sounded like he was in disbelief. As in, "how could a healthy guy who works out all the time have heart disease and die?" It is shocking but it couldn't be many other things.

Also, if we’re friends on Instagram it’s easy to discern who my wife is among my friends list and her profile is public and she currently has a story of her shoot yesterday. I can’t remember who I’m friends with or not on Instagram from D1P. I hardly ever go on it myself. 

I think the only "social media" thing I follow you on is last.fm

No one is friends with me on instagram, not even @MarSolo gave me a #teamfollowback

It's just as well though, I barely use it. I only made it to get a Smite skin and then put some "classic" instagram pics up, with tons of filters and stuff.

I don’t care to post pics of my family on the Internet. 

I get it. Also, I don't blame you after what happened with @Chris-'s wife.

OK well that's just sad and confusing. Could they still request an autopsy at this point to determine his true cause of death? 

My guess it would be up to his family and what was stated in his will. Perhaps it seems unbelievable right now but a person's ticker can run out at any time.

A similar thing happened to my dad. People said the same thing, "seemed perfectly healthy" and all that. People said they saw him the day before and he was just fine, the next day he's dead. They said "cardiac arrest," but I didn't need to know any more. He's gone now and knowing anything else won't bring him back.

Personally I think the easiest one is Dark Souls 2. It's a lot more like Elden Ring. Plenty of NPC summon points, lots of bonfire / fast travel points, bosses aren't that challenging.

I said something similar, but I wouldn't say that makes it the hardest. Most people, from what I have seen, get stuck on bosses and this game has some of the easiest bosses by far.

This is a thread about Best only and it will be hard for him no matter how easy the bosses are.

Nice pic of your wife modeling it.

I think you may prefer a higher quality of art to the average movie goer.

I wouldn't say that I do. If you pay attention to the rate the movie thread I literally watch everything. I think my tastes are a lot more open than most people here, who seem to have a very narrow taste of just watching whatever's popular.

Guy really likes Richard Linklater

I would say Demon Souls since it has the fewest quality of life improvements such as bonfires, you basically have to one shot everything from the start

No combat, like, not even jumping on enemies? Ehhh that lowers my interest probably more than metroid map increases it. Still will play regardless if only for the art alone.

So you're still day one on this just not hour one.
