  1. It’s Atascocita and I drive a sedan, thank you.
  2. For Pink Floyd, maybe some of the hits off of Dark Side would be popular, but the 15+ minute songs on WYWH and Animals and the concept of The Wall would be a tough sell to the masses. They’d probably have a niche following at festivals. Plus, Roger Waters would probably get into 100 Twitter fights a day with fans and critics.
  3. If a period of history is referred to as the 12th century or 15th century, I immediately think 1100’s or 1400’s. Does anyone mentally categorize periods of history by century or is everyone doing that same extremely simple conversion every time like me?
  4. Bumping this thread because I landed on this yesterday while bored on a Saturday afternoon. I didn’t know of this movie, wasn’t paying a lot of attention to what I was clicking on and thought I was clicking on a history doc for background noise. Funny as hell. I love this period of history and laughed the entire time. Isaacs, Buscemi, and Tambor were hilarious. Beria was a disgusting monster of a human being and I laughed at almost everything he said. This is available on Netflix. Watch if you can.
  5. Walking out of the shoe that night after listening to 15 hours of trash talk from the warm and kind natives of Ohio was fantastic.
  6. Does Pussy mix well with vodka?
  7. The Rewatchables podcast did an episode on Dazed. I thought one of the more interesting notes about the movie is that Pickford was supposed to be one of the major characters, but he (21) hooked up with Mila Jovavich (16 at the time) and even got married, which later got annulled by Jovovich’s family. The cast was mostly annoyed by the whole thing and especially him. Linklater is very big on natural dynamics and relationships between the cast, so he slowly wrote him out of the movie and turned MM’s bit part into a much bigger deal. MM was famously known to be an instant hit with the mostly non Texan cast. It’s why you see Pickford a lot at the beginning, but not towards the end, and vice versa for MM.
  8. Lol.. I’m a huge fan of Newsradio and watch full episodes on YouTube all the time. It’s run was fantastic, but only for four seasons. The fifth season after Phil died was terrible and unwatchable.
  9. My absolute favorite television show of all time as a kid. Like a lot of great shows in that area era, it over extended its run and limped to the finish line, but it’s peak was funny as hell. Just a great concept for a show that allowed for a core cast to deal with a diverse general public. And the core cast was fantastic. I particularly liked the interactions between Dan/Harry and later Dan/Roz. I’ve always kinda felt Newsradio was its late 90’s clone.
  10. More fuckin boomers!??!
  11. Houston based company claims they’ve created a vaccine. Has this been posted? https://www.msn.com/en-us/health/medical/hbj-houston-genetic-engineering-co-completes-coronavirus-vaccine-ceo-says/ar-BB10aIUU
  12. The SNL guests (Spade, Sandler, Baldwin, etc..) all make for very interesting and entertaining discussion, but it does come off as either lazy producing or they're having real trouble getting A-List quality guests beyond those handful of guys. Sending Richard and his wife to the Super Bowl is an awesome gesture to a seemingly good-hearted dude regardless of who paid for it, even if it did require him to create some show content in exchange. Doing Super Bowl material two weeks after the Super Bowl because you took a two week vacation after the Super Bowl is lame as hell and something Howard would have slammed other shows and hosts for doing years ago.
  13. Secret Asian Man
  14. It's been background TV in my house a handful of times and besides the predictable, formulaic aspect to it, what kills the show is the bar owners are typically impossible to root for. Mostly just dipshits who scraped together a few bucks for a bar they thought would be a non stop party.
  15. Hell, Lumbergh fucked her.
  16. Memet got serious airtime around Fall of 2018 and that lasted until springtime or so in 2019, then fell off the planet. The feedback had to have been that listeners just didn't like him. He over played the millennial stereotype to an unlistenable level. He basically portrayed someone who embodied every negative characteristic one generation could be known for. It's been all Brent's soft swinging and Chris Wilding ever since.
  17. So, a hotel that nobody will get laid at?
  18. It gets funny again at 40.
  19. What, I can’t enjoy some hard boiled eggs with microwaved tilapia just because I’m confined in small quarters with a hundred strangers?
  20. If the Astros do it right, they have an intense month of baseball awaiting them after that four day break. The magic number is 1 (2 for all MLB) and regardless of grabbing the overall 1 seed, Hinch wants to ensure that he gives Verlander and Cole their well deserved A-Team lineup for the last two games of the season. Also gives Hinch and Luhnow another chance to evaluate the Round Rock kids.
  21. My house in Atascocita looked like it was going to flood around 10am. By 11 the rain slowed a bit and the water almost completely drained. Water got disturbingly close to the front door and the cul-de-sac was completely flooded. Good thing the rain finally slowed down.
