  1. Boy, does this movie gets better on subsequent viewings. I saw it for the second time and was even more blown away. The first time I was mostly in awe of the spectacle and didn't pay attention as closely to the various actors' performances and more nuanced parts of the story as told by Denis, especially by the performances of Timothee Chalamet and Austin Butler. No spoilers, but there's a certain point in the movie/book that's a turning point for Paul's personality and how he carries himself (if you've read the books/seen the movie you know exactly what I'm talking about) and Chalamet absolutely NAILS it. He was great as Paul before that moment through the first movie and up to this point in the second, but his performance after this transformation was unbelievable. Oscar worthy, in my opinion. He really makes you believe he is HIM. Austin Butler absolutely nailed the creepy, unpredictable, dangerous, but strangely almost-but-not-quite affable/honorable vibe they were going for with Feyd-Rautha Harkonnen. I love that he simply chose to speak like Stellan Skarsgard in order to nail down his voice for the part. I can't think of a weak performance from the whole bunch. Even Lea Seydoux kills it in her very limited screen time.
  2. Yeah but as a straight white male, I have to overlook that because of her other talents. Sorry, I don't make the rules.
  3. She's also kind of a moron, if you've ever listened to her talk for an extended period. It makes perfect sense they linked up. I don't think she's a bad or malicious person in any way, and even think she's kind of cool in a way, but she is objectively dumb.
  4. Same here. I think the people doing victory laps already are fucking insane. As if anyone thought Trump could win in 2016.
  5. Was there when I was 15. Need to go back. Really puts many things in perspective.
  6. If they one and done in the Big 12 tourney they may be out
  7. I'm not sure why you think it's a euphemism. It is literally the exact type of scenario Israel would require to roll into Gaza without immediately losing every remaining ally they have. Since you still seem to be confused about how all of this works, I should remind who is in charge of the Israeli government. Perhaps you should educate yourself on Likud, Benjamin Netanyahu, and the various extremists that comprise his government. You should read about how Netanyahu's government purposefully props up Hamas because they need an organization like that to be in place for them to justify their normal level of brutality, much less a ground offensive like the current one. Source: https://www.timesofisrael.com/for-years-netanyahu-propped-up-hamas-now-its-blown-up-in-our-faces/ Also, I assume you have somehow thus far evaded or ignored the reports that Israel obtained intel that laid out precisely the kind of attack that took place on Oct. 7th, and also ignored intel that Hamas was literally conducting training exercises in line with that exact plan. Source: https://www.timesofisrael.com/israel-obtained-ignored-hamas-document-laying-out-oct-7-attack-plan-report-alleges/ Now, keeping in mind that Netanyahu has a high chance of ending up in prison once he's no longer Prime Minister, can you think of a reason for he and his cronies to sit on his hands and not act on actionable intel of this kind? Here's some more fun reading: https://www.timesofisrael.com/netanyahu-is-trying-to-avoid-an-accounting-for-october-7-this-time-he-wont-escape/ https://www.jpost.com/israel-news/article-771842 https://www.haaretz.com/opinion/2023-12-21/ty-article-opinion/.premium/netanyahu-was-paralyzed-during-hamas-attack-on-october-7/0000018c-8903-d60e-afdf-ed0f33870000 e: Because you're still running around in the DT thread calling this a war, I'm just going to assume you have decided to remain the piece of shit you've always been and just tell you to fuck off again, you fucking idiot.
  8. He's never been funny. He's the same pseudointellectual annoying creepy piece of shit he's always been.
  9. The idea that Israel "left Gaza" is a bullshit lie told to and by Western media outlets and politicians in order to provide cover for Israel to continue its stranglehold over the area and operate its open air prison without [enough] international outcry. Yeah they were technically not militarily occupying it, but as should be obvious, that was just a temporary situation until they had a good enough excuse to roll back in there.
  10. Man fuck we've beaten them by 29 twice in the last few years. Come on man just 1 point
  11. It's totally not Chris Beard's fault he's in the dark ass crack of college basketball and he can't be held responsible for how his team plays against bad teams. Or any team, really. He's so dreamy. #freebeard #itsthewomansfault
  12. Really nicely managed 2nd half by McCasland. We had Darrion Williams and Pop Isaacs with 4 fouls apiece at like the 12 minute mark and neither one of them fouled out.
  13. Kinda wild game in Lubbock going on, Tech was up by 15ish, Baylor clawed back, Tech now back up by 10. Great effort by both teams so far and great atmosphere for a game that is ultimately meaningless to both teams at this point other than wanting to win. Our two best players are playing with 4 fouls.
  14. The people blacklab enables in DT
  15. There are a number of coaches in the Big 12 that do this shit and it drives me fucking insane that no ref seems interested in calling them out.
  16. No entiendo, senor. Yo soy un hombre sencillo.
  17. JPPI INVESTIGATIONS LLC. - Home Feel free to harass the fuck out of this bitch made loser.
  18. Not gonna lie I don't know what this means
  19. Find a better hobby. This is bad for your mental health. Jesus Christ.
