  1. Sure but Snyder's one fits in that timeframe of directors decided to wipe out mass numbers of people like it wasn't a big deal. Him, Michael Bay, JJ Abrams in Star Trek and Star Wars. I don't blame Cavill since it was the hand he was dealt. Don't even get me started on the Martha crap in Batman vs. Superman.
  2. Oregon is on our list. I just don't know when we can get up there to see it. I told her maybe that's one we just apply to and see what happens. I know with privates there's a benefit to visiting to up your chances since you show more interest but do we think publics operate the same way?
  3. Do you think we're from the future? The early reviews are very good but when aren't those that way? I hope it's great because the MCU needs a massive course correction and Thunderbolts was a good start.
  4. Disagree. I don't enjoy the entire tone of the SnyderVerse. Superman shouldn't be like Batman. The mass genocide of Metropolis also doesn't sit well with me. It was as far from the Reeves Superman as possible. Maybe it was fine then but it's pretty terrible now. Agree with your 2nd statement.
  5. So as someone who got his daughter Taylor Swift tickets and is pretty decent at getting Disneyland dining options at the crack of dawn, I could have a chance? Is it you are offered CAP and then the campus selection is right then or is it later after you accept the offer? We went on a drive out to Tyler to look at azaleas and just did a drive around UT-Tyler just to see if that's the fallback option if she was offered CAP. Very small but if you're only doing a year, not terrible. I don't think UTA would be a dealbreaker for mine since we live in Dallas. UTSA would be the most ideal but I get why that's the hardest to pull off. She has a good number of AP credits right now so I guess we'd have to navigate how not to lose those. It's interesting with the summer work. She's taking some online classes with Dallas College right now. I was admitted into UT in the summer of 94 as a provisional student. I was a dumbass who slacked off when I could've just worked a little bit harder to get automatic acceptance back then. Decent grades but just below the cutoff for automatic. I also didn't take the SAT seriously. I had to take a full load in the summer of 94 and didn't manage the GPA that was required to be fully admitted. I then had to decide if I was going to slink back home in shame to attend community college in Dallas or try to get back into UT at ACC. I chose the latter and I'm glad I did but I'm happy they don't offer that program any longer. I definitely missed out on making friends and the freshman experience so I am cautious to have her go through that. As I said upthread, she's had something similar her freshman year of high school so that also plays into whether she would want to do CAP if offered. She's not as gung ho about Texas as your kid. She's been there with her UT On Ramps English class but it wasn't a full tour. I may drive her down and we do the full thing in the Fall. I can show her all the places her mom and I went, the dorm her mom stayed in, the new development that was once my old apartment on Nueces.
  6. Next one on the 90s Essentials. Is this inappropriate to watch with your 17 year old child, maybe. I saw it when I was 18. The 4K really shows off a lot of the gory details like the aftermath of Stuck In The Middle With You. The 4K steelbook is fairly amusing.
  7. Summer long balls
  8. They want Bix for Wonder Woman.
  9. That's from May, my dude.
  10. Or Coldplay is his all-time favorite and Chris Martin betrayed him so it's the deepest cut.
  11. You could post this to any number of threads on this website and it would ring true. Not sure why this incident is a bridge too far for you.
  12. Don't dip your pen in company ink. Looking at you, slorch!
  13. Lol. We're obviously imperfect because we don't get your weird reasoning on this. Again, please explain it since you love to make declarative statements about how we "don't get it". Also, new motto?
  14. So explain how then. You make these statements as something everyone should get. We obviously don't so please show your work.
  15. Intentionally vague immamac is the best immamac.
  16. Social media is what it is. This type of stuff has happened for a while. The only person I feel bad for is the wife who didn't ask for her world to be blown up by her cheating husband.
  17. First day on the internet?
  18. Well anyway. Back to our regularly scheduled sample programming. This whole album is chalk full of samples. It's a great concept album which MF DOOM was so good at.
  19. Are you a thread cop? If you're a thread cop and we ask you, you have to tell us.
