  1. I will say that ep1 was Antoine Fuqua heavy handed directoring. He carves a very pointed picture in ep1 that will get picked apart in the next few episodes. Muscle through it if you find Pratt too “Olympus has fallen” because that isn’t the case the rest of the way.
  2. Tripods are good for everyone! We all run them except for my fancy BiL who has a Kopfjager something or other. The rest of us run Bog deathgrips because we aren’t rich but get LEO and vet discounts…
  3. Heh. I’m right handed and left eye dominant but I practice both eyes open shooting. I’ll start to squint my left eye as I need to focus and usually only close my left eye completely when I start to control my breathing for a shot on an animal.
  4. Since I worked in the loop, Al’s was the closest and that was my go to. All the other hot spots were too far away since I didn’t have a car while I was up there The simple beef sandwich with giardiniera was basically what I got for the 3 years I was in Chicago.
  5. Yeah it wasn’t that I disliked it as much as I just wasn’t hooked. My wife was and I just told her that she can watch it at her own speed… which means she’ll watch episodes during the day while I’m working.
  6. And a lot of the actual actors have been in previous “operator” roles for movies/TV. Lone survivor, zero dark thirty, Seal Team, Jack Reacher, Tears of the Sun, SWAT.
  7. I watched 2 episodes and passed. My wife says it has gotten better so I may have to finish this at some point. I was interested because I loved the whole Chicago “feel” of shameless and Lip was so good in that… I just couldn’t get interested once I actually started watching.
  8. Really good so far, I’m through 4 episodes. Even the wife likes it even if she has questions about plot or characters. I’ve been surprised by all the reviews bashing it. I get the anti-alpha male with a gun seeking revenge but whatever, it’s good. I keep waiting for Nate to make his debut but I know it’s not until ep6 now… My comment to my wife was this was every EDC and larpers combined wet dream. Telling her every sticker, cap, shirt, pant, shoe, watch, belt, holster etc was placed specifically for them. I’m not going to spoil anything with my thoughts of where the is going and who is dirty… (I have read the books)
  9. I said it in my first post of this thread. It felt like TG, Iron Eagle 1&2 and Star Wars to me.
  10. Hah! Just got mine about 5 min ago!
  11. If he’s gonna start having conversations with himself like the incel that moved from atx to Colorado, I’m gonna worry a bit more…
  12. Sorry for Tapatalk YT links…
  13. Lol I remember hearing fables about someone’s brothers friend had Custer’s revenge and it was outlawed but he got it on the black market…. And if the cops ever found out! Hah. Never saw it in person though
  14. My grandmother’s dachshunds were both bilingual. Could act upon commands given in Spanish and English… To which my pops made sure to rub that fact in while I would struggle to communicate in horrible Spanglish to my grandparents.
  15. Can I ask you something? Are you a faggot? See, you asked me if I was heterosexual; I asked you the same question, only I was clear about the answer I was looking for. You take Los Angeles. If I say Los Angeles has become, over the years, a mecca for homosexual migration. I am in the right. But look at what I am saying. I am making it sound like faggots are nomadic if not predatory miscreants who have some implied need to move around. I am also likening of the Muslims, or Muslims to them. Whereas saying LA is filled with faggots is just being honest. ARE YOU A FAGGOT?!? Sorry, just love both of those movies and their responses tit hat question! Carry on
  16. Semi-spoilers ahead, mainly the last 2 paragraphs. I’ll try to spoiler tag it but be warned . Finished S3 last night. We raced through the first 7 episodes and then tried to slow down… lol Pretty solid and like others have said, they nail the musical selections and usage. #5 is still so damn solid as the engine that drives the story and explains everything. Klaus is great again.
  17. I’ll have to disagree here. This guy here might be cut but he’s rocking his own version of what he can ride. I doubt this dude is exuding closet homosexual vibes while telling those around him why females love him. This dude here also probably lifts weights in someone’s front yard and the weights are a mix of old school weights and automotive parts.
  18. I’ll be texting that to the wife right now.
  19. So that is a fan theory that is out there. That the movie is actually a death dream of Maverick during the breakup of the darkstar
  20. I loved the F14 so much I even kept this ERTL die-cast F14 for my son. Not sure where my F15,16 and 18 went but I sure as shit kept my F14. Also it took me a while to find what it was called but I also had this: The joystick would throttle up when titling back, throttle down when lowering the nose, have the cannon when clicking the red thumb left and have missile lock and firing when clicked right. If I’m not mistaken if you punched forward it would make the afterburner sound…. Not sure on that. I still have this also at my parents but the joystick stopped working 30yeara ago. Oh and you could pick from different fighter wings, I got the jolly Rogers squadron obviously I still love the F14…
  21. Didn’t help that ROE also took away most of that interceptor role away from it… it basically became a deterrent rather than an interceptor or CAP/CAS like the F15. Desert storm further cemented that as the F14s were basically scaring off Iraqis without engagements. Barring 1 helo that the F14 shot down
  22. The sky striker was only released in that white in series 2. Like 5 years later it hit rereleased with the night force reskins as the “night boomer”. I cannot think of any ‘82-90 vehicle that used the F14 style in the gi joe lineup… Yeah I was a massive gi joe nerd
  23. I mean the pilots wore space pressure suits! As a kid that blew my mind. And it was black! It just looked more badass than anything else!
