I've seen 180 of this 250 list. I'll have to look into which are the 70 films that I've not seen.

poker face is pretty fun. it's columbo with natasha lyonne. more or less Just watched the first one this week. I liked how it started but once it turned into a running from the casino owner/bad guys I was less inclined to watch the others. Russian Doll was flipping phenomenal so I was interested. B...

I've seen the bottom 6 and 'Taste of Tea' which you can find on youtube. BIG Hideo Gosha fan.
I've meant to watch the Sabu stuff for a while but never got to them.

What sort of controls/rules are there to purging dormant accounts? Are there many that never made a single post? It seems odd to make the effort to make an account but never use it. Then again, I wonder how many dead accounts there are on LBX let alone FB and in those cases I suspect they never take...

The National Popular Vote Interstate Compact may end this once enough of the states (the actual majority) reaches the 270 mark.
As of this April, Maine ratified it so we're now at 209. So there's 61 to go. It won't be too long when we don't have to be playing to the 'swing' states anymore.

Merely an observation but the way wiki lists important deaths is kind of weird sometimes. It lists the would be assassin of Trump even though he didn't actually kill him and it will also name animals if they are of some significance. This seems to be mostly racing horses.

(Even more screwy th...

It's weird to see how easily critics were raving about this one when there's barel...
