RuneScape - what a wonderfully versatile game. I first laid my hands on Jagex's mega-popular MMO around 2007, coincidentally the year of play the developers would later model the Old School RuneScape (OSRS) variant of the game around. I haven't touched the game in years, but that hasn't stopped the YouTube algorithms from feeding me a steady stream of OSRS content over the past year.

The ban had been set to go into force on September 4th, but on Wednesday, Judge Ada Brown issued a preliminary injunction in a lawsuit brought against the FTC. Tax firm Ryan LLC filed the lawsuit against the FTC the same day the ban was announced in April, arguing that the ban is “an unauthorized, unconstitutional attempt to eliminate a long-established private economic arrangement.” The US Chamber of Commerce and Business Roundtable are among those who have joined the suit since its filing. The plaintiffs are “substantially likely to prevail on the merits of their challenge to the FTC’s Non-Compete Rule,”... Continue reading…

They may icons of the industry who would have made a dream team in a collaboration. But, according to comedian Eddie Murphy, there were no fond feelings between Marlon Brando and Clint Eastwood, with the former unable to even “stand” the Spaghetti Western icon. 63-year-old Murphy recently sat down for a chat with the New York Times podcast The Interview. There, he shared memories of visiting Brando at his home not long after his first film role, which came in 48 Hrs., released in 1982. Brando had no trouble getting candid about that revolutionary Western actor Eastwood, though his opinios reportedly were not high at all.

His roles would show off a twist on the heroes of the genre that actors like John Wayne put forth, with Eastwood’s injecting some gray morality into their actions. Not everyone was a fan, however. RELATED: The Truth Behind Frank Sinatra And Marlon Brando’s Feud Recounting his conversation with Brando, Murphy shared, “This is how long ago it was: He was going, ‘I can’t stand that kid with the gun.’” He went on, “I was like, ‘What kid with the gun?’ He said, ‘He’s on the poster!’ I was like, ‘Clint Eastwood?’ ‘Yeah, that guy!’ He was calling Clint Eastwood ‘that kid.’” Brando was older than Eastwood by six years.

In this case, we know Wayne’s dislike of Eastwood stemmed, in part, from Wayne’s traditionalist view of the Western genre and the unwavering moral code the “good guys” followed. Eastwood would defend his approach to filmmaking, embracing the idea of nuance, overarching themes, and moral complexity—and even moral messiness. John Wayne would agree with that dislike / ©Warner Bros. / Courtesy Everett Collection Eastwood accepted that he and Wayne came from two different schools of thought, musing in his book Ride, Boldly Ride: The Evolution of the American Western that he “realized that there’s two different generations, and [Wayne] wouldn’t understand what I was doing.” ENNIO, Clint Eastwood, 2021. © Music Box Films /Courtesy Everett Collection RELATED: Why Clint Eastwood’s Lighting Style In Films Opposes John Wayne’s Style Click for next Article The post Eddie Murphy Says Marlon Brando Didn’t Like “That Kid” Clint Eastwood appeared first on DoYouRemember? - The Home of Nostalgia.
