The 98-year-old actor has been nominated for his guest turn on Days of Our Lives, on which he played an elderly man with amnesia.

"I have played old men before, but 'comedy old men,'" Van Dyke said of the role last year. "This is the first time I ever just played my 97-year-old self."

Dick Van Dyke is great. I used to watch him all the time on The Dick Van Dyke Show

This is exactly right. Having worked in these environments before (and currently), no one wants to stick their neck out if their head is just more likely to be chopped off. As a result, only the projects that are least objectionable to a committee of decision makers (so formed to reduce risk) move forward.

"Clark, you motherfucker. Fuck! Fuckity-fuck-fuck fuck. And Lois... what the fuck! You dumb motherfuckers have really fucked us this time."

And scene

Lots of great quotes from this game.

The problem is he likes the status of power and influence more, he just wants to also be rich. But honestly, this is actually a good deal for him if he were thinking about retiring.

And the guy is 75. His maternal grandfather lived to be 76. John probably wouldn't be on the hook for very long.

I was a senior in high school at the time and even back then I thought this kind of advertising was crass, gross, and unnecessary. No nostalgia here, just second-hand embarrassment.

Every time I see "backlash" in a news headline it's always just Twitter culture warriors who are always angry about something

Roy is the protagonist in his own man vs. society story. Society is the real villain in Blade Runner.

The same way you beat any game in the 1980s and early '90s: lots of pattern memorization based on trial and error. In the arcade, that means lots of quarters.

Once a game like Dragon's Lair was memorized, you could play through the entire thing on only a couple quarters, to the astonishment of arcade bystanders.

Kids and teenagers had more time back then because smart phones and Instagram and YouTube didn't exist. People underestimate what a huge time sink those can be.

No one had Internet access. You could play a game, play an instrument, read a book, go to the mall and the arcade and maybe catch a movie, go outside, or watch whatever happened to be on the 3-4 network TV channels (or possibly cable if your family had the money). And TV back then was mostly terrible.

So if you had $10 in your pocket, that was an entire afternoon of entertainment at the arcade and movie theater.

“Making this change gives us more space and opportunity to bring customers new and innovative tech for them to explore, discover and enjoy.”

Yeah, because that's what I think when I go into a Best Buy: "they could really use more space."

CEOs of all stripes always think workers should take whatever crumbs the bosses drop and be happy about it, as if the bosses are the ones generating value and not the workers. Good for the unions for holding strong to get what they deserve.
