I Vitelloni - One of Fellini’s first directorial efforts, and it’s pretty good. Five guys in a nowhere town fail to find meaning in their drifting lives. There’s not much plot, but the characters are strong enough to get you through it.
The movie actually reminds me of a famous line from The Grand Hotel, “People come, people go. (but) Nothing ever happens.”
That’s disturbingly hilarious.
You should watch Arrested Development if you haven’t yet.

No. The Wii U is nothing like the GameCube.
It sold terribly; had a great lineup of games, although not many due to limited third party support; had the ability to use a second screen as a controller, introducing unique gameplay that was ultimately underutilized; had neat cover art; and had the best controller for Smash Bros ever.

It’s a direct sequel to the Wii, hence the use of that name. Only it’s really a beast of its own even then.Since you added this bit in later, the Wii is basically a GameCube with motion controls. There is really little difference hardware-wise. If the GameCube sold as well as the Wii did, they’d have definitely capitalized on the name.
I just said I wanted a new GameCube, that looks like a GameCube, and has GameCube styled controllers, and functions like the GameCube but with upgraded hardware and capabilities. Regardless of the real life context around them releasing such a thing.
Yeah, and I said the Wii U fits that bill. It doesn’t really look like a GameCube, but if I may quote your original post:

And I don’t see how the Wii U isn’t that.
Is this what you’re trying to do?
It should work. Make sure you right click on the image in imgur and select ‘view image’, which will take you to the proper internet address.Yes thank you!
This upsets me.
Not to mention Splatoon, Captain Toad Treasure Tracker, DK Tropical Freeze, Kirby & The Rainbow Curse, Xenoblade Chronicles X, Yoshi, Bayonetta 2, Lego City Undercover…
The system has plenty of great games. Not many, sure, but the few that are good, are really good.
The Switch is really resonating with people, though. It’s really surprising seeing it take off with “non-gamers”, but I guess that’s what Nintendo has been great at ever since the DS.
That’s too bad. I’ve always wanted to get one, but never bothered. Now it seems like the best titles for the system are being ported to the Switch. A friend of mine owned the system, so I was able to get and play through all of Pikmin 3, and loved it.

But the N64 didn’t do well either.
The N64 was the beginning of Nintendo’s problems with third-parties, and holds the distinction of being the first console where they were no longer the undisputed king of the business. But even still, this was a world where Sega was doing even worse, and before the Xbox. The N64 did well at the time given its problems.

It seems it should be possible to reconstruct the general release using the HD Reconstruction and the LaserDisc, seeing as the only differences between the two seem to be cut scenes.
I forgot to mention, I have a Sega Genesis hooked up too, and that’s all you really ever need.
I always thought you were at least 35, mfm.
I’ve got all of the Nintendo consoles up to the Wii (lost interest afterwards), an Atari 2600, a PlayStation, a PS3 that’s mostly used as a Blu-ray player, and an Xbox 360 that I really ought to sell one of these days.
The Nintendo Switch sold around 4.6 million consoles in its first few months, while the Wii sold only 4 million in that same timeframe.
The Nintendo Switch is the fastest selling console in US history, outselling even the Wii. I find this very hard to believe, given people were in hysterics over the Wii, but it’s true.

I’m not crazy!
Flawless!
Thanks for the thumbs up, I’m glad I got it right!
No Leaf Joke
-Cut from Rey saying “Okay” to Luke resting her hand on the rock.
-Replaced “Reach out with your feelings” with just “Reach out”
Looks great. Can’t even tell there were any changes made. Even though I thought this was one of the best jokes of the film, I must admit that seeing it played straight is much more effective.
Wow, that was unexpected. I know she and her husband have been in ill health for awhile now, it’s just shocking to see her gone. Rest in peace.
To explain why I’m certain would probably be one of these outer circles:
This is one of the most pretentious things I have ever seen.
The Devil’s Rain - William Shatner, Ernest Borgnine, Ida Lupino, and others take part in a movie partially helmed by the High Priest of Satanism. It is a mess. But it’s still fun. Also John Travolta’s first screen role!
It is still available for download, at the usual places you can find fan preservations.
