    Yeah, the F15X is necessary as both a replacement bomb truck (the current Strike Eagles are worn out from the war on terror) and as a stand off ordnance carrier in coordination with the F35 in modern (read vs the Chinese) warfare. I feel like the Marines rolled upgraded Cobras after the introduction of the Apache’s because they were cheap, effective, and commanders weren’t afraid to potentially lose them due to cost (which is still a problem with the Apache). The MH6 has also provided decades of cheap, effective service.

    Never cheer for OU.

    I appreciate all of the actual hot takes, Bs takes, jokes, parodies, and just general muledick. For those of us who walked away from the team a decade ago to preserve our sanity, I appreciate you.

    I do not want to wade into the football board and swim through that shit. Can I get a hot take on if the team is going to be good this year? No koolaid, plz. As a reminder: this is cloakroom, so please be respectful on football related matters.

    It’s just a suggestion on a message board. But I also think there needs to be a separate pool of money for the QBs so they don’t eat so much of the salary cap, and expanded rosters so they aren’t pulling guys off the street in weeks 12-17 to cover injuries. I don’t think most people understand how much the cap drives almost every personal decision your team makes, and how it affects the quality of play.

    You do realize that the rookie deal gives all the power to the owner, right? The owner can waive the player at any point.
  8. Bateshorn
    My idea is that the players who get used up and thrown away after their rookie deals get 3 with a big year four instead of 4 with a big year five like everyone else. Most jags aren’t even seeing year 3 on their rookie deals rn. They are bouncing from practice squad to practice squad by then. The idea is that RBs can either catch a big franchise tag while they still have some miles on their legs or get a second contract.

    This sounds about right unless the next CBA shortens the rookie deal length for RB and potentially DTs.

    Speaking of Nirvana, Jay and Jeff’s diss on Kurt Cobain’s professed dislike of making it big, slams, goes very hard:
  14. Bateshorn
    Man, you guys missed a real obvious one. Kurt Cobain must have really hated his A&R guy. I’ll do the Sturgill Simpson cover because the lyrics pop a bit better: Radio by Sylvan Esso does a hella job laying out the push to churn out hits.

    Sure thing, pops. Except it’s a movie, not a sporting event. Runtime can have a dramatic effect on the quality of the experience. That also happens to be true of sports. I’ll sit through 4 hours of a Red Sox game. I will not sit through 4 hours of a Royals game.

    it didn’t ruin anything. It was too long. That’s not a fatal flaw, it’s common to many movies. I rewatched Apocalypse Now with my sons the other day, and good lord that film needs a time edit. As I said, I enjoyed it. It was very entertaining, visually unique and interesting, and funny. It was also too long and, as my wife pointed out, Gerwig pulled some punches in the feminist themes. All of those things can be true. You seem to be unable to see message board posts in anything other than binary. That’s fine, if you want to believe I was miserable or the run time ruined it for me, you do you, boo.

    Or maybe you don’t ask much of your cinema. It was an 1 hour and 54 minutes. That’s not crazy long by modern standards, but I checked my watch at least twice. The Will Ferrell plot line could have easily saved 5-10 minutes, particularly since it added almost nothing after they returned to Barbie Land. And I could have used less Ken. If they had spent more time exploring the Toy Story 3 style storyline between Barbie, America Ferrara, and her daughter, I probably wouldn’t have noticed the time. There was a lot of gold to be mined. But after being beaten over the the head with Ryan Gosling doing his best Jake Paul impression, I began to start wondering when they would wrap it up.

    I thought it was fine, but noticeably too long. The Ken story line was good, but a bit over the top for me, especially if Barbie was going to more or less give him a pass at the end of the movie. I guess that’s what’s necessary to have a conversation about toxic masculinity in this day and age, but I was prepared to be challenged and wasn’t. Visually stunning and had some quality laughs. I’ve definitely been guilty Porsche- Kensplaining.

    Barbie. 3.5 out of 5. visually very cool. It needed a 15-20 minute trim. And 30% less Ken. His exposition was kinda ham fisted. I was very invested in the Barbie/America Ferrara story line.

    This season sucks. Nothing is happening. plus all the women on the show need to eat a fucking sandwich

    The owner of possibly the single greatest line in movies: That's Robert Ridgley ("The Colonel"), a solid character actor in his own right, in the back ground suppressing a laugh to keep from breaking up the shot. I guess Phillip Baker Hall had been coming up with these through out this shot and this was not only the best delivered, but one of the only ones where the entire cast and crew didn't descend into scene destroying laughter.

    It's one of the many reasons that when scolds bag on Love Actually, they usually get a proper "fuck off" from the rest of us.
  24. Bateshorn
    This remains one of the most beautiful movies ever made. But then again, I also think Days of Heaven is close to the perfect film, so go figure.

    I thought I was in there.
