    - And the Paris cabbies are incensed by the prospect of Uber and Lyft? Gee, I wonder why. -- nm - Mop Dec 23, 12:38

LYC: Been playing the latest Civ 6 expansion. It is really very good. Being slightly outpaced by Brazil in the endgame but didn't have any major - kilbowl full of jelly Dec 23, 11:46 12
- Don't worry. When the Stoopid DLC comes out, they will sub Bozonaro as the leader instead of D Pedro II (I think), and Brazil will flounder. (NM) - Marlowe Dec 23, 15:20
- I’m really liking it. - znufrii, human scum Dec 23, 12:01 3

        I think he's figured out that Netflix paid him; he's set on money via them so he can do these other things - Will Hunting Dec 23, 12:47 1
        
        After the numbers from that Aniston movie he just did on Netflix, I'm sure they're more than satisfied. -- nm - Babu Frik Dec 23, 12:59
    - He was good in Punch Drunk Love (imo). -- nm - Diva Dec 23, 11:55 1
      - Amazing, even. -- nm - Spawn Solo Dec 23, 11:56
    - he was good in The Pudding movie...and Waterboy -- nm - Beaker Dec 23, 11:49
    - Spanglish was good. -- nm - Shaun Dec 23, 11:46
  - I haven't seen it, but yeah he's getting great reviews. - ty97 Dec 23, 11:43 1
    - But shouldn't he have gotten some love from the Golden Globes or SAG or something if he's going to get an Oscar nom? -- nm - Babu Frik Dec 23, 11:48
