    This. Caught myself a few times not paying attention but wasn’t worth rewinding to see what I missed. It would have been better to knock 20-30 minutes off the runtime as well.

    Did anyone not realize that Mona Lisa was getting destroyed the second they showed it? Surprises in a movie like this are welcomed and that was the opposite of a surprise.

     

    Spoiler

    It was definitely Chekhov's Mona Lisa. Also, Blanc has a boyfriend and it's Hugh Grant, right?

    That whole scene was so damn great. 

    I got a VPN on my personal computer so I could watch it in June and not have to wait until when the fuck ever it aired in the US. I will miss this show so much.

    Who would have guessed that weird looking kid would end up having such a good career?

    Have you seen The Great on Hulu? He's wonderful in it.

  4. I didn't realize, until after I saw this movie, that Nicholas Hoult was the kid in About a Boy. He's done a lot of good work since then. I'm looking forward to Renfield, for sure.

    Need some guidance here. My wife and I have a German Shephard who tuned 1 in December. He had his "no puppies" procedure today and the vet sent him home with the cone of shame. Problem is he is a big dude and him trying to move around the house with the cone on is like trying to have a mobile satellite dish in our living room. I have heard about an inflatable donut that can be used in place of this giant cone.

    Does anybody have any experience with or opinions on the inflatable option? 

    Yeah, we have a small house and when our 100-lb lab mix has a cone it's rough - we have to keep all breakable stuff off the coffee table, end tables, etc in the common areas because they're all at risk between his cone and his giant wagging tail. See my above comment re: the inflatable collar.

    Will the donut work on large 100lb dogs with a long body?  Feels like i would need an inner tube to keep them from reaching the stitches. 

    It does not work on my 100-lb, long-bodied dog, but I don't know if he's outside the norm. He figured out pretty quickly that he just needed to puncture the tube and get it to deflate in order to get to his stitches. E-collar is the only thing that works for him.

  7. Eh, sure we have problems, but so does every big city and there's still no place in Texas I'd rather be. (And we need to be in TX to be close to family.) There's still charm, and things to love. The lady down the street from me has a mini-horse she dresses up for Halloween every year, and we always make sure to walk by her house to feed him carrots or apples. I went into this shop on North Lamar last week and was greeted by the owner's 3-legged dog. Dan's burgers still taste like they did when I moved here in 1999 and they're still my favorite burgers in town. I still laugh at the OG El Arroyo's signs. I still enjoy White Christmas at the Paramount in winter, and their summer movie series in the summer. Etc. 

    (The caveat to the above is that I recognize that I'm fortunate enough to have been here and bought property before things got too out of hand, and that we can afford to live here. I know my tune might be different in different circumstances.)

    You know that metal plate in my head? I had to get it replaced cause every time Catherine revved up the microwave, I'd piss my pants and forget who I was for half an hour.

    Hand to God, I watch this every year and even after ~35 years, this line makes me legit laugh out loud.

    I was cracking up from the get-go with all the "Are ye rowing?" "I didn't tink we were rowing." Over and over. But overall, even though it had a lot of funny moments, what a sad movie. I'm really glad they didn't have Padraic go after Colm's dog, at least.

    Both of my grandfathers worked their entire careers at the Texas Company refinery.  They both lived on Howe Street in the Groves.  My parents were both PNG graduates.

    I am so very grateful that my parents relocated to Austin before my first birthday!  (And stayed there!)

    I could walk to Howe from my parents' house. I enjoyed growing up there, but I couldn't wait to leave and have no plans to move back.

    Pretty sure there were more PNG people there than SOC. Great energy in the stadium, for sure. The last time they got this far was the season after I graduated, and I didn't go to that game. It was fun to be back in the atmosphere of a really good high school football matchup, even if the win wasn't in our favor. My 14-year-old, who's never experienced a game like this before, had a lot of fun.

  12. PNG came out of the gate looking like the championship-level team they've been all year, but couldn't adjust quickly enough to SOC's more flexible play calling and, frankly, more skilled offensive positions. SOC had a ton of offensive penalties called on them in the first half, and our run defense was great, but PNG couldn't match up to their pass playing - which, admittedly, is pretty excellent for a high school team. Sad to see my alma mater lose, but it was fun to catch up with old schoolmates and to know that some of those 5-star SOC players are coming to UT. Not a bad showing for Johnson, considering it's his first year.

    Greg won’t get shit.

    Did Ethan fuck Cam’s wife? I missed a few minutes after they walked over to the hill.

    Why won't Greg get shit? They didn't go into specifics but it sounded like he'd get something if she died.

    They weren't clear on what happened with Ethan and Daphne.

  14. I've watched the whole thing. It's not Dark but I still enjoyed it.

    Spoiler

    I think Daniel is some kind of failsafe in case of interference with the program, and isn't an actual human. Maybe he was her husband at some point, but he wasn't on the spaceship when she woke up in the last episode, and there was something about when he said "I'll always be here" that made me think he meant THERE, in the simulation. And maybe the pain she was trying to forget was losing both Daniel and Elliot.
