John Hurt died today.

Yeah. He was pretty much fantastic in everything. I absolutely loved him in V for Vendetta

Him as Chancellor Sutler, aka the current POTUS, was a phenomenal role.

Well, the normal expensive ones on the shelf at target or walmart top out around $199. There are sets that go for over $450 retail.

But assuming $100 for higher mid range per box... 8 boxs = $800. Easy to be way higher or way lower.

Note it was the Louvre Mall, not The Louvre museum - attacked one soldier then got taken down by a second one.

I reckon I'm safe for now. My Vizio has been turned off since we moved.

I avoid buying smart tv's... The UI of Roku's or AppleTV is superior to the crap built into the tvs

wirestyle22

@brianlittlejohn I actually have a Vizio smart TV but I use a Roku anyway because it runs so much better and is compatible with everything I use
