After watching all 224 episodes of the Yu-Gi-Oh anime and keeping track, I can say the following:
The card Pot of Greed is played 30 times over the course of the series. Its effect is explained in all cases but one: In Episode 167, during his duel against Amelda, Seto Kaiba plays the card and then draws two cards from his deck without elaborating further. This means that despite being played 30 times, the effect of Pot of Greed is only explained 29 times.
This count applies only to Yu-Gi-Oh: Duel Monsters and does not include spin-offs. Thank you for counting with me.

Remember when we played The Sims 2 and we opened a household all there was in the background was blue until the Sim team updated so we can see houses next door and down the street? Remember how excited we were to see it? Good times.

After working with Ranbir Kapoor, Karan Johar believes Ranveer Singh's energy was a "cultural shock" for him; he calls him "most indispensable" in Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani.
Ae Dil Hai Mushkil was directed by Karan Johar and starred Ranbir Kapoor, Anushka Sharma, and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan.
Karan Johar, who just released Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani, praised Ranveer Singh on set for his energy and passion. Working with Singh, according to Johar, was a "cultural shock" after working with Ranbir Kapoor, who is known for his more controlled enthusiasm.
Tumblr media
"No one brings the kind of energy to a film set that Ranveer Singh does," Johar said. "And before this, I had worked with Ranbir (Kapoor), who actually used to come to the set with a very calm, composed energy during Ae Dil Hai Mushkil. It was a cultural shock for me."
Johar continued, "Then I realised that all the hard work he (Ranveer) puts in, all that enthusiasm and passion he brings, is solely and purely to enhance his performance. I haven't seen this kind of energy before, and I won't see it again, but I knew one thing: he was the most indispensable character in Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani. There would be no Rocky Randhawa if there wasn't Ranveer Singh."
In terms of the film, RRKPK has earned more than Rs 100 crore at the box office. Aside from Ranveer and Alia Bhatt, the film's ensemble cast also includes Dharmendra, Jaya Bachchan, and Shabana Azmi.

I've been organizing a bunch of random writing and notes in my Google drive and, notes like this
....then Conflicts happen.
Conflicts are the center of the plot. Don’t ask what they are. Just roll with it please and thank you.
Conor meeting Will is the other center thread of the plot. Feel free to ask about it. We kinda-sorta-mostly figured out what it means. “It was a dark and stormy night when a young boy stared longingly out the windows of his family's farmhouse feeling quite lonely… goblins… elf in the tree… gone…pisses on pine trees… lost… obnoxious dwarf… elf reappears… reluctant friends… meet again… less reluctant friends… tours the forest… meets the king.” You get the point.
Then Conor kills Will’s dad.
JK!!!!!!
But he gets framed for it and is sort of involved in it so in the end he blames himself but it's not entirely his fault because he did do a thing on purpose and it was mostly his uncle but also not really his uncle.
Long in the short of it, Conflicts are spurred to a climax. Farm mom gives birth. Conor makes use of his soldier blood. Will makes him leave. They’ll meet again on the battlefield.
The end.
...make it clear Younger Grayce thought herself very clever.
I remember my brother and I coming up with that on a camping trip and then quickly writing down what we could remember. Good times those were.
Older Grayce is certainly no better, but it sure is great to be able to look back and laugh fondly at one's former self. Even if she is only a year gone. :))

When the Shoe Drops
When you're a kid things like going to sports tournaments for your grandma seems trifling. You sit there and wait and wait for hours. You don't care about horseshoe throwing. Frankly, you don't see how it's even a sport. No one is running and it's really just you against another person and then a different person and another for many long, excruciating hours. How can this be entertaining?
However, your parents are gone that weekend and your grandma had a prior obligation so, because your grandpa is so loving and supportive, you and your siblings are in a strange big building with people tossing horseshoes.
There is only the ring of horseshoes pounding dirt, rock, and stakes echoing in your mind. You're not sure how the game works, just that it's really noisy and those noises give you a headache. Your tummy is also rumbling because your loving grandpa has neglected to feed you in a while. The three of you try to watch but turn to toys, coloring books, and even hitting each other to occupy your brains.
By the time the tournament is over, you're so relieved to b going home. You hope that you never have to go to another one, but you will. Until there weren't anymore for you to go to. Because your grandma is aging and getting diagnosed with cancer and you're old enough to stay home alone when your parents leave town.
You now understand how much that sport meant to her and that it really is a sport: You calculate mentally and work physically to throw the horseshoe just right and.... DING! You hit the stake. You now know that your grandma was really good at this sport. You know that it connected her to something she lost.
Your grandma grew up playing it with her dad. It made him proud. She dominated her opponents (only giving them some purposeful misses to not take their entire dignity). However, your grandma lost her dad way too soon and her passion left her. That was until she met your grandpa.
You now know why your grandparents had a court set up at home; your grandpa built it as an act of love and support. You now know that she dragged you and your siblings along to her tournaments because she loved it and wanted to share that love and passion with you.
You now remember the good times: How you got to eat unlimited junk food while there (something your parents would never let you do at home), how your grandma gave you red hot cinnamon gum (which you hated but she loved), how your grandpa's eyes shined as he watched the woman he loved decimate her opponents (it was the only form of healthy love you saw growing up).
You now know all of this because the cancer won and she died so now people talk about her more than she ever talked about herself because your grandma was a selfless woman; she kept things to herself. What you did know about her, you didn't learn from her telling you because she was too busy showing you and what she didn't show you, she wrote.
And in what she wrote, you learned more about her than you ever saw. You learned that she was just like you; you grew up to be a reflection of her. She was compassionate, an artist. She was strong and independent, brave and dedicated.
But most importantly of all: She was your grandma.

Pouring one out for all the anime-only fans whose version of memory world doesn’t include the scenes where Yami Bakura follows his past self around and gleefully watches him kill people like he’s eating popcorn and watching nostalgic home movies right up until Thief King dies and then he’s like “god you useless piece of shit I can’t believe you let the pharaoh kill you I am embarrassed to have once been you you cringe idiot” because it is both essential YB characterization and also really spot-on about what its like to see photos of yourself from high school

Kabir Khan recalls casting challenges for Ek Tha Tiger after Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif’s break up: “They weren’t that comfortable”
Kabir Khan directed the first instalment of the Salman Khan-led Tiger franchise.
In a recent teaser for casting director Mukesh Chhabra's upcoming podcast series on Mashable India, filmmaker Kabir Khan sheds light on the casting process for the blockbuster film Ek Tha Tiger. While Salman Khan was readily considered for the lead role of Tiger, casting his co-star Katrina Kaif as Zoya presented an unexpected hurdle.
Tumblr media
Khan revealed that the casting took place during a period when Salman and Katrina had recently gone through a breakup, making them "not that comfortable" working together. In the promo, Kabir asserted, “This was the stage where they had broken up and they weren’t that comfortable.”
The podcast series, titled "Casting Couch with Mukesh," promises to delve into the fascinating world of film casting. Featuring conversations with renowned directors like Farah Khan, Imtiaz Ali, and Raj & DK, the series aims to unveil untold stories and insights from the casting process of popular movies and web shows.
The teaser also highlights interesting anecdotes from other directors. Imtiaz Ali discussed the initial challenges faced by Alia Bhatt during the filming of Highway, while Farah Khan reveals the casting difficulties for the negative role in Main Hoon Na, eventually played by Suniel Shetty.
Coming back to Kabir Khan, the director is currently busy with his upcoming directorial, Chandu Champion. The film stars Kartik Aaryan in the lead. Readers may recall that Bollywood Hungama was the first to report that Shraddha Kapoor will be seen playing the female lead opposite Kartik. It is slated to release on June 14 this year.
Meanwhile, Mukesh Chhabra is set to make his acting debut in the upcoming musical thriller Chamak.

Agastya Nanda recounts hilarious anecdote of him being mistaken as a delivery agent at filmmaker’s office; says, “The disadvantages of not having social media”
Agastya Nanda shared an anecdote of him being mistaken as a delivery agent.
Agastya Nanda, the grandson of Bollywood actor Amitabh Bachchan, made his debut in the Netflix adaptation of the iconic comic series, The Archies. In a recent interview with Film Companion, Agastya shared insights into his journey as an actor, shedding light on the amusing and sometimes awkward experiences he encountered while seeking opportunities in the film industry.
Tumblr media
The young actor shared that he had auditioned for the role in The Archies and has actively visited filmmakers at their offices in pursuit of more work. Being relatively unknown in film circles due to his absence from social media and growing up in Delhi away from the cinematic hubbub, Agastya shared some humorous instances of being mistaken for someone else.
Agastya recalled a moment where he visited a filmmaker's office and was misunderstood by the security guard. He narrated, “I had gone to another office where the security guard was like, ‘Idhar aa, idhar aa (come here).' He said, ‘Naam likh. Package delivery time bata. (Write down your name and the delivery time of the package).' I said I've not come here to deliver the package, I've come here to meet the director. Then he said, ‘Nahi nahi, jhooth mat bol (No, don't lie).' This happens quite a lot. The disadvantages of not having social media.”
The actor also shared another incident where he was made to wait for 45 minutes at a filmmaker's office, only to overhear the staff discussing why he had not arrived yet. Agastya had to clarify his identity and explain that he had been patiently waiting for close to an hour.
Agastya recently joined social media, making his debut on Instagram on January 11. Talking about his previous film, The Archies was also starred Suhana Khan, Khushi Kapoor, Vedang Raina, Aditi Saigal and Yuvraj Menda. He will be next seen in Ikkis by Sriram Raghavan.

It just hit me that I didn't really start being active on Tumblr, until I found a guy I liked on here. This was a decade and some years ago. Back when Tumblr was actually popular. I was obsessed with this guy on here. I thought he was so cute and nerdy. He was black and I hadn't really seen a black guy like that before. Then I remember being crushed when someone asked him a question about what type of girls do you like, and he straight up said white girls. There was literally no other option for him. It was basically white girls and nothing else. He wasn't even gonna give it a shot with a woman of color.
I was heartbroken. I unfollowed him. I blocked him and then I just moved on to the Twilight / Glee side of Tumblr.
