  1. Her What walking through the door? Don't get me wrong, she averages up that 9.5 to a 10 in other ways. Just stunning. But them jeans were baggy as hell while she walked through the door.
  2. Bullock was sold out at 4 and 7 yesterday so I went to the IMAX at Barton Creek and on 2nd watch, yep, it's still badass.
  3. Can we agree on a better name? That man doesn't fuck shit with this stick.
  4. Saw this last night and enjoyed the hell out of it. Had to watch the original for the first time in its entirety this week, and glad I did. Great update.
  5. There have now been a few conflicting statements on whether he engaged anybody outside. First there was a resource officer, then there was no resource officer, then I read last night there was a 12-minute confrontation before the shooter even entered the school (which kinda makes sense if he crashed his truck 100 feet away). I've also read that he had no plate in his vest, which would lead me to believe that they just couldn't shoot for shit and resorted to telling people around that he was iron man and their bullets were bouncing off him.
  6. That video with the dad is too much man. I didn't expect to be shedding fucking tears tonight,.It's not just the kids. It is mostly them, but it's also the knowledge that this country is beyond fucked. We passed fucked a long time ago. It's not just the kids, it's knowing that the people that could help this country don't give a shit because they're paid with "donations" to turn the other way. It's knowing that the institutions that fail us time and again are the ones lauded by the powerful's desired society as the "heroes" of our country. It's all a fucking farce.
  7. I guess this was the last episode of the season? 1. Zazie Beets is one of the finest things walking this earth. Period. Full stop. 2. Just another...... Wtf.... Episode. Kinda funny. But also just wtf for the sake of being wtf. Like why do I have to see 20 seconds of an artsy background covering up a pissing scene? Because it made Donald Glover giggle when he thought of it? Fuck off.
  8. Big win, again! It's insane how good Driussi can be when he's being marked heavily and not necessarily showing danger in the attacking third. He can one-touch the ball and put us in advantageous positions, or make a quick turn and pass from close to midfield and put Fagundez on for a 2nd goal. He's so damn good.
  9. I enjoy the hell out of it, bought it on prime just so I have somewhere to watch it. But I can't think of many people to suggest it to. You have to be ok with a meandering storyline (one of the knocks of Dazed & Confused, if you don't "get it") and comedy based on congregated dude humor. And college. And sports/competition.
  10. Oh thaaat's who Sam Raimi is? That makes a bit more sense of the movie to me. I saw it last night, thought it was pretty good. Thought the pacing was kinda frantic, but I guess by now we should know wtf is going on. The other thing that threw me off was the dialogue and feel of the movie was kinda..... YA. The witchcraft stuff didn't help, but kinda how they introduced conflict and figured out how to resolve it, felt "young". I understand it's a comic book movie, but I hadn't necessarily felt that way about previous Marvel movies. Could have been the teenager in the film too, not that she did bad, but it kinda softens the movie up. I think she's even younger than Peter Parker is supposed to be, or feels like it.
  11. Finished last night, didn't hate it, but didn't love it. The show was getting stupider by the season so I didn't expect them to fix all the problems with it by the last episode. I agree that as a whole, it was very unsatisfying, but I might be in the minority in being satisfied that at least all the idiots that took the "Fuck the Cartel" stance found out after fucking around. Them Mizzous really thought their trailer park operations made them mob bosses, except they had no mob.
  12. https://www.texasmonthly.com/arts-entertainment/austin-fc-mls-los-verdes/ Speaking of...
  13. Make another post on this thread so I can rep again for the Mictlan rec, everybody in the group loved it. That little drive out there is definitely misleading and I almost doubted myself when I saw the desert, the shacks outside, etc., then you walk down into the cave and understand the experience. Even surprised myself and didn't hesitate to try the chapulines. Killed it in CDMX this weekend. We had a driver for the weekend so I couldn't have ever done it as badass on my own. Xochimilco and Lucha Libre on Friday, Teotihucan/Mictlan and Estadio Azteca (Cruz Azul vs Necaxa play-in) on Saturday, Puebla/Cholula (maybe my favorite part of the trip, what a kick ass little city) and then Plaza Garibaldi to round out the night on Sunday. Badass weekend. Mole poblano in Cholula might have been the best meal of the trip, but it was definitely rivaled by the birria de chivo tacos this morning from La Polar. I needed those yesterday instead for the crudo tequila put on me during the Canelo loss.
  14. No mames wey. The Verdes & Murga have a sizable Latino influence. Over-proportionate to our population in Austin proper. Anyways. Glad this was the first game I missed this year (on TV).... We got plenty of space to prove ourselves against playoff-bound teams this summer though. Let's get some points.
  15. I fuckin hate the closest Whataburger to me (MLK/Airport in Austin), but I gotta hand it to them, I really enjoyed my Southern Bacon Double on Saturday. They didn't get my DP shake right (chocolate instead), but I was gruntled by the meal. The slaw did about the same thing that lettuce does (mostly crunch, but a tiny bit more flavor than lettuce).
  16. I haven't seen any discussion on my twitter timeline about Atlanta like I had the past season. I understand why. Also, Donald basically warned about this when he basically said Season 4 would be better. I get the messaging, but I'd think the point of the FX medium would be to make these issues just a biiit more exciting than reading about them in a think-piece?
  17. Not bad, but not nearly as good as I'd hoped it would be. I'd say solid B-movie material that stylized itself into a B+ movie. The story seemed to want me to root for the protagonist, but all the Kings were basically just in an endless cycle of raping/pillaging/enslaving. Didn't necessarily side with the one that the movie decided to follow. (Not that they claimed he was the "moral" one necessarily either, just a weird protagonist) Grateful for an Anya Taylor-Joy role, but damn that was a thin role for a female lead. Viking sneak-swims onboard boat, they exchange 3 words, and are now inseparable. Bc I guess they needed another woman in the movie.
  18. The week is finally here. Paid the upcharge (vs. leaving from SA) out of Austin, but arriving a few hours earlier than the earliest out of SA, so I"m good with the trade-off. Friday - Xochimilco and if not completely wasted, Lucha Libre in the evening. Saturday - Teotihuacan and hopefully a cave restaurant outside the pyramids (Any suggestions??) and then find somewhere to watch the Canelo fight. Sunday - Short day excursion to Puebla to just wander around and walk through the city. Leaving Monday afternoon. Will try a quesadilla this time, and every damn taco I see in the city. Or at least every taco stand that people seem to be eating at so I don't catch the chorro for 3 months like I did last time.
  19. Taylor/Serrano was incredible. I haven't been a fan of women's boxing in a while, but damn did they knock that showcase out of the park. Disappointed in Stevenson/Valdez, but I see why they were dying to get Valdez in there. That size and length mismatch was outrageous. Stevenson needs to move up to get tested, nobody will be able to deal with his mastery of distance unless they're his length and can match the output.
  20. Wasn't pretty but felt like we controlled the game after about the 30th.... Dani is having himself a breakout year. Kid is playing his ass off.
  21. Gane vs. Tuivasa seems shitty. Taller/longer "striker" vs. shorter/shorter "puncher". Will play into Gane's hands.
  22. That reminds me... https://www.instagram.com/p/CcoQCqSrFuw/ About ready for Season 2! I'm also in my rewatch, the Daniel episode was a bit too harsh to watch though (Bill Burr episode). Or at least to finish.
  23. Hell yeah, big win! I think Urruti is starting to warm up, his stock gotta be soaring right now. He seems to keep finding himself in dangerous positions. And at least has the balls to take the shots.
  24. In general yeah you can probably wrangle a few hundred more out of a card like that if it's graded well. But if it's sitting at an 8 or lower, you might as well keep it raw. If you're selling it on ebay though, you can set your minimum and go from there.
  25. Entire market tanked hard, with the same trajectory. Uranium included.
