OS and Android, Battlejack is a mobile collectible character RPG that uses traditional card game Blackjack to resolve its battles. It’s a very cool combo. In Battlejack, players create, upgrade and evolve a team of collectible fantasy creatures to pit against other fantasy creatures in fast- paced card battles. Instead of normal card suits, Battlejack’s deck features four different elements: fire, water, earth and light/dark. Playing cards of those elements charges up the attack of creatures with matching elemental affinity. Players draw cards, attempting to get the closest to 2. Then they hit the attack button, and it’s damage dealing time. The battle system is really simple. Get to know Whoopi Goldberg from The View.

Characters and creatures have various skills that can be charged during missions to help heal their team or hurt their foes, and players can bring an assortment of potions into battle in case things go south, but the main focus is the Blackjack mechanic. It’s fun, but I’m not sure if it has legs. Beyond basic story battles, special event battles and arena battles against teams built by other players, Battlejack’s got the whole collectible character management aspect going on. Each creature can be leveled up. Their skills can be upgraded. Runes can be applied, further enhancing creature abilities. They can even be evolved into new, more powerful forms. As with other games of the collectible character variety, there are plenty of ways to spend real money on more powerful cards and leveling materials. There’s an energy mechanic—three energy mechanics, really, one for each type of battle (arena, story and special events). It also features my new least favorite free- to- play mobile game mechanic, having to wait to unlock reward chests. Rather than just give the player items for completing characters and other milestones, a chest is placed in a queue and the player must start the unlock timer manually (or pay to open them with in- game currency). At the heart of Grand Clu’s Battlejack is a nifty combination of traditional card game and collectible RPG. I don’t know if it’ll have staying power and the microtransactions are obnoxious, but it’s interesting enough to recommend trying it out before calling it a bust. Just Friends (2. 00. IMDb. Edit.

The film is primarily centered on a melodramaticlove triangle among an amiable banker named Johnny (Wiseau), his deceptive future wife Lisa (Juliette Danielle), and his conflicted best friend Mark (Greg Sestero). A significant portion of the film is dedicated to a series of unrelated subplots, most of which involve at least one supporting character and are unresolved due to the film's inconsistent narrative structure. In an interview, included as a special feature on the DVD of the film, Wiseau briefly describes the title as alluding to the potential of a room to be the site of both good and bad events; according to Sestero, the stage- play script from which the film's script is derived took place in a single room. Ross Morin, an assistant professor of film studies at St. Cloud State University in Minnesota, United States, described The Room to Entertainment Weekly as . Although Wiseau has retrospectively characterized the film as a black comedy, audiences have generally viewed it as a poorly- made drama, a viewpoint supported by some of the film's cast. Additionally, the film inspired a 2. Wiseau and Sestero entitled Best F(r)iends is scheduled for release in 2. Johnny is a successful banker who lives in a San Franciscotownhouse with his future wife, Lisa. They share an intimate relationship characterized by constant lovemaking. Despite this idyllic existence, Lisa has inexplicably become dissatisfied with her life, and one afternoon confides to her best friend Michelle and her mother Claudette that she finds Johnny boring. Although Michelle advises her to be grateful for what she has, and her mother counsels her that financial stability is more important than happiness, Lisa decides to seduce Johnny's best friend, Mark. Although he is initially reluctant, Mark gives in to Lisa's advances. Their affair continues through the remainder of the film, even though Mark appears reluctant at the outset of each sexual encounter and repeatedly tries to break off the relationship. Lisa, meanwhile, having come to the realization that she . As the wedding date approaches and Johnny's influence at his bank slips, Lisa alternates between glorifying and vilifying Johnny to her family and friends, both making false accusations of domestic abuse and defending Johnny against criticisms. Meanwhile, Johnny, having overheard Lisa confess her infidelity to her mother, attaches a tape recorder to their phone in an attempt to identify her lover. Against the backdrop of Lisa and Mark's affair, numerous subplots involving secondary characters begin to develop: Denny, a neighboring student whom Johnny financially supports and . Denny also lusts after Lisa, ultimately confessing to Johnny his attraction. Once Johnny tells Denny that Lisa loves him as her friend, Denny resolves to propose to another woman named Elizabeth. Johnny takes on a mysterious client at his bank whose identity he kept secret because . Claudette experiences real estate problems, bemoans failed relationships and informs Lisa that she has breast cancer. Michelle and her boyfriend, Mike, break into Johnny and Lisa's home to have sex. Each subplot is provided little to no exposition or context and none are resolved. At a surprise birthday party for Johnny, a previously unseen friend of Lisa and Johnny's, . Lisa expresses no remorse, while Mark angrily urges the friend not to tell anyone. Johnny announces to the guests that he and Lisa are expecting a child, only for Lisa to tell the other guests that she lied about it in order to . At the end of the evening, Lisa flaunts her affair in front of Johnny, who attacks Mark. After the party, Johnny locks himself in the bathroom, prompting Lisa to carry out leaving him for Mark. Johnny finally comes out of the bathroom and retrieves the cassette recorder he attached to the phone and listens to an intimate call between Lisa and Mark. Claiming that all of his friends have betrayed him, Johnny destroys his apartment and then kills himself with the pistol earlier recovered from Chris- R. Hearing a gunshot, Denny, Mark and Lisa rush up the stairs to find his body. Mark and Denny blame Lisa for Johnny's death, with Mark declaring he does not love Lisa and never wants to see her again, in spite of Lisa's declaration that Johnny's death means they are free to be together. Denny asks Lisa and Mark to leave, but they stay and comfort one another as the police arrive. I definitely have breast cancer. Greg Sestero stated in his memoir, The Disaster Artist, that he created a backstory for the character in which Mark was an undercovervice detective which Sestero felt united several otherwise disparate aspects of Mark's character (such as the secretive nature of various aspects of his behavior including marijuana use, his mood swings, and his handling of the Chris- R incident). However, Wiseau dismissed adding any reference to Mark's past to the script. When Mark arrives, he is revealed to have shaved his beard, and the camera slowly zooms in on his face while dramatic music plays on the soundtrack. Nothing that is said or occurs during the scene has any effect on the plot; the scene ends abruptly when the men decide to return to Johnny's apartment after Peter trips. Wiseau received enough questions about the scene that he decided to address it on a Q& A segment featured on the DVD release; rather than explaining the scene, though, Wiseau only states that playing football without the proper protective equipment is fun and challenging. Sestero further detailed how the football- in- tuxedos scene was concocted on set by Wiseau, who never explained the significance of the scene to the cast or crew and insisted that the sequence be filmed at the expense of other, relevant scenes. For example, The Room was the first film in which Carolyn Minnott had ever appeared. On the first day of filming, Wiseau fired the actor originally hired to play Mark, and Sestero agreed to fill in. He would later admit to being uncomfortable filming his sex scenes; because of this, he was allowed to keep his jeans on while shooting them. Not all of his scenes were filmed by the time his schedule ran out, and he left the production despite the fact that Peter was to play a pivotal role in the then- unrecorded climax. His lines in the last half of the film were given to Ellery, whose character is never introduced, explained, or addressed by name. Speaking to Entertainment Weekly, one anonymous cast member commented that the script contained . I know it's hard to imagine there was stuff that was worse. But there was. Wiseau eventually decided to drop the subplot after learning that there was no practical way to film the flying car scene on the production's budget. In analyzing the film's abrupt tone shifts, Greg Sestero highlighted two scenes in particular. In the first scene, Johnny enters the rooftop in the middle of a tirade about being accused of domestic abuse, only to become abruptly cheerful upon seeing Mark; a few moments later, he laughs inappropriately upon learning that a friend of Mark's had been severely beaten. On set, Sestero and first assistant director Sandy Schklair repeatedly tried to convince Wiseau that the line should not be delivered as comical, but Wiseau refused to refrain from laughing. Many of the principal characters use the phrase . Almost every male character in the film has dialogue discussing Lisa's physical attractiveness, including an unnamed friend of Johnny's whose only line of dialogue in the film is . Despite the significant amount of dialogue regarding Johnny and Lisa's forthcoming wedding, no character ever uses the words . It was mainly shot on a Los Angeles soundstage, but some second unit shooting was done in San Francisco, California. The film's many rooftop sequences were shot on the soundstage, with exteriors of San Francisco later greenscreened in. The film employed over 4. Wiseau is credited as an actor, an executive producer, the writer, producer, and director. Two others are credited as executive producers, but according to Sestero, one of them had no involvement in the film and the other had died years prior to filming. Milicevic went on to do the score to Wiseau's 2. Homeless in America, and was later hired to do the score on the 2. The Room, Room Full of Spoons. The songs are . The soundtrack was released by Wiseau's TPW Records on July 2. Schklair told EW shortly after being hired on as script supervisor, Wiseau became too engrossed with his acting duties to direct the film properly; according to Schklair, Wiseau then asked him to .

Ripley, and matches elements of its three main characters to those in The Room; Sestero has likewise indicated that the character Mark was named for the Ripley actor Matt Damon, whose first name Wiseau had misheard. So we feel that people should see The Room. Wiseau additionally arranged a screening for the cast and the press at one of the venues, renting a spotlight to sit in front of the theater and arriving in a limousine. Although actress Robyn Paris described the audience laughing at the film, Variety reporter Scott Foundas, who was also in attendance, would later write that the film prompted .
