I Replayed The Sims And It Kicked My Ass

by

25 years have passed since EA initially released this legendary game, and I was thrilled when they decided to re-release it as part of their anniversary celebration. Just like the first time I played it, I approached this game with the same excitement and anticipation, eager to see if it still held up. It might surprise you, but in many ways, I think it does. While the game has gone through numerous updates over the years, the core gameplay remains remarkably similar: You juggle your career, grapple with work-life balance, save money to buy items that help improve this balance, and then repeat. It may sound tedious, but trust me, it’s a blast.

by

For the first time at the big screen, writer-director Drew Hancock presents “Companion,” a film that aligns with contemporary horror movies from this era that lean more towards humor and plot twists rather than traditional scares. Unlike its peers, “Companion” doesn’t aim to make you jump or feel uneasy. Instead, it offers a blend of dark comedy and a warped take on revenge fantasies.

Joel Edgerton portrays Robert Grainier, a man whose life story becomes increasingly captivating as he matures. Originally an orphan, he settles in a quaint Idaho town around the turn of the century and spends most of his existence working as a choker, sawyer, and logger. His labor contributes to the felling of trees for the war effort in the 1910s and the development of America’s expanding railways and infrastructure. Along this journey, he develops feelings for Gladys Oakley (Felicity Jones), a strong-willed, attractive woman, constructs a cabin, and starts a family. Grainier may not be well-educated or inclined towards romanticism or introspection. Yet, while lying next to Gladys on the banks of the Moyie river, he muses, “I could almost comprehend everything there is.

In the films “Blue Velvet,” “Lost Highway,” and especially “Wild at Heart” (1990), Isabella Rossellini, Kyle MacLachlan, and Nicolas Cage & Laura Dern are immersed in a world where flames frequently appear. The dancing flames that illuminate the screen in “Blue Velvet” when Isabella Rossellini orders Kyle MacLachlan to strike her, the haunting burning shack in “Lost Highway,” and the recurring visions of flames and matches in “Wild at Heart” are not mere background details. Instead, they are powerful symbols that permeate the characters’ feverish dreams, creating an atmosphere where the world appears perpetually ablaze. The fiery imagery in these films is so intense that it even dominates the opening credits, which unfold amidst a blazing inferno of Halloween-orange flames. For these fugitive lovers, the world they inhabit is consistently engulfed in flames.

Seth Meyers’s Stirred Manhattan Won Late Night This Week

by

The current news is incredibly strange, disturbing, and revolting. What we require now is comedy that can mirror such intensity. It turns out that The Daily Show has won the title for the most offensive joke of the week. This joke refers to RFK Jr.’s alleged concoction of a smoothie made from mice and baby chickens, which he reportedly feeds to his hawks. His cousin Caroline Kennedy was mentioned in this context. The humor lay in the feathers, but it’s worth noting that baby chicks have more of a fuzzy texture rather than actual feathers. While jokes about someone spitting out feathers have been amusing since the silent film era, a touch more authenticity could have elevated this joke on the list.
