Game play is more enjoyable than fifa 20 and the play seems smoother on FUT. There is also a good choice of objectives to complete with good rewards, and the regularly changing friendly modes give the game more variety so you are less likely to get bored.

There are still a lot of bugs that need fixing (and probably won't be by EA) during matches, like goal keepers not moving at all when a ball is coming at them. There are also too many untradeable sbc rewards.

I only play ultimate team so can't comment on other game modes.

Adam DeVine recommended By the Way by Red Hot Chili Peppers in Music (curated)

"When I was moving to California with one of my best friends, Austin, we packed up everything in his car and we were driving out. Everything was just stuffed. We had a little Kia Sephia. We stuffed everything in the car, including the CDs. We couldn’t find the CDs anywhere, we couldn’t find his CDs and mine were all packed away—we couldn’t get to them. The only CD we had in the CD player was By The Way. We had that whole CD on repeat. It reminds me of leaving the safety of my parents' home to move to California where I was convinced I was going to be gang-raped. I had some seriously rape-able buttcheeks. 10 years later, they’re slightly less rape-able"

"A truly inspiring movie. Kurosawa is one of those rare directors who knows how to tell a story in the compelling way we all like to see them told on-screen. In Ikiru, we, as individual viewers, so identify with the moment-to-moment experience of the main character (played by the great Takashi Shimura) that somehow it becomes our own story. As we watch this movie, we progressively go through bouts of fear and guilt and then, by movie’s end, achieve a sad satisfaction coupled with the personal conviction that we must somehow do better as human beings. This one becomes even more moving as we get older and the story becomes closer to our own reality. This one puts me through the ringer every time."

David McK (3562 KP) rated Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (2008) in Movies

Jul 13, 2019 (Updated Apr 28, 2020)

Just about everybody's pick for their least-favourite Indiana Jones film, I personally feel the main problem with this was the move away from the religion-based relics of the previous films (The Ark of the Covenant? The Sankara Stones? The Holy Grail) towards science-fiction, with the main driver of the plot being remains recovered from Area 51.

Set in the 1950s, this no longer features Nazis as the main villains, instead moving on to the fear of the Russians ("Better Red than Dead!" as one banner says) that permeated American culture at that time, with an old flame of Indy's making a re-appearance and with Shia LaBeuof's character of Mutt all but set up to take on the role in future.

It was an interesting take on ghost stories, certainly one I've never read before--or that I think I have...though the Charley Davidson series is kinda like it, I guess.

I was drawn in early on and although Alona was a little annoying at the start I have to say she'd grown on me (and Will) by the end. Will was just different from the start, not wanting to be popular and unable to be even if he wanted to with his ability to the see the dead.

The possibility of a romance between these two and moving to college makes me want to read the next one in the series and I'll be hunting it out from somewhere at some point in the future.
