If leaving the house to see “Ralph Breaks the Internet” is too much trouble, try renting some of these films, watching them on-demand or pulling them out of your DVD collection: “Planes, Trains and Automobiles” (1987) — This laugh-out-loud comedy follows uptight businessman Steve Martin and goofy John Candy, forced together on a cross-country odyssey at Thanksgiving. This is the rare road movie that works. Rated R for profanity. “Arthur Christmas” (2011) — In this fast-paced and family-friendly film, Santa’s son, Arthur, must save Christmas by taking a long journey to deliver that last gift. Rated PG. “Disney’s A Christmas Carol” (2009) — Jim Carrey plays Scrooge in this animated version of the story. He also plays the three ghosts who haunt Scrooge. Be warned, however, that this 3-D film was produced through the process of performance capture, a technique director Robert Zemeckis previously used in his fi...

There’s isn’t a Fallout 76 accolades trailer. Well, not an official one. Despite our own reviewer actually enjoying Bethesda’s new approach to the series, many didn’t. Right now, the average review rating on Metacritic stands at a lowly 50%, while the user rating stands at 2.7 out of 10. Many Fallout 76 reviews across the web berated the developer’s latest RPG, with some describing it as “empty”, “disappointing” and “soulless”. Unsurprisingly, we’ve yet to see an accolades trailer, though there is an unofficial one. We shouldn’t laugh as we personally don’t think it’s anywhere near as bad as people are making out, but it is quite funny, albeit quite sad that the Fallout series has found itself in this position. Check it out. [embedded content] Source: https://www.psu.com/news/fallout-76-accolades-trailer-is-funny-if-wasnt-so-sad/

W e’ve all experienced that immediate panic after saying something stupid. The hot rush of shame pumps through our bodies and we are gripped by the forlorn hope that we could rewind time. The claustrophobic fear that we are forever diminished in the eyes of those who witnessed our stupidity causes genuine panic. We are convinced that this is a moment from which we will never recover. Reading this may trigger you into remembering some daft thing you once said at a party or in a meeting. Imagine for a second not that you would never do this again but that, when you did, you would feel none of the usual shame and embarrassment. Now you know how it feels to be one of Theresa May’s cabinet ministers . The glut of ignorance we’ve had to suffer recently has highlighted a major problem: we are being led by people who don’t know what they are on about and are unabashed about admitting it in public. If ignorance were an energy source, you could power the country purely on ...
