So I watched "The Kid Stays in the Picture" last night.... It's really good, although it's my least favorite style of documentary (subject or someone close to subject narrates the whole thing over clips, with no commentary). Two pretty glaring differences from the show: - In TKSITP, Evans claims he encouraged Ali McGraw to do The Getaway. - In TKSTIP, Evans claims he had to convince Coppola to build the move to 3 hours, from just over two. I get the first difference in that it helped the narrative of the show. I don't get the second one, given that would probably be well documented. I guess the show had Ruddy, Evans and FFC all aligned at that point, so it wouldn't make sense to align FFC against Evans for the shows purposes.

Was interesting to me that the show never addressed the score — not even a throwaway line that I can remember. Because, you are right, it’s amazing.

Calling shot (because fun and nothing else to do this week), barring injury, on 23. Admittedly cheating on third striker Ferreira, Dike/Pepe, Pefok, Pulisic, Reyna, Weah, Musah, McKinney, Adams, Aaronson, De La Torre, Acosta, Robinson, Zimmerman, Richards, Dest, CCV, EPB, Cannon, Yedlin, Turner, Steffen, Horvath If you don’t want 3 strikers, then bring Bello along but Dest can play either side, I believe, if Robinson has to come out

January 6th Committee Hearings Thread of Dominance

Wow. One of mine is GT/ADHD and other on spectrum. Would be interested to know how to apply for this. I’ll ask our planner too. We go in January and stay at Baylake Tower. Hope Tron and Play are open by then but not holding breath.

January 6th Committee Hearings Thread of Dominance

No shit. Pence doesn’t get a pass here. -

I love Acosta even if he is not quite the talent level of rest of midfield on those tweets on prior page. If we are able to sit a midfielder with a card against Iran (needing only a point), that's a great spot for him. He will forever be a hero for getting in Guardado's ear at Nation's cup last summer before the Horvath save.... Interestingly, it appears he won't resign with LAFC and is looking to Europe next year....

January 6th Committee Hearings Thread of Dominance
A-Tex Devil replied to Longhorn_Fan68's topic in Cloak Room
This. I mean, it sucks that we have to even have this committee at all because of the Trumpist bullshit, but as it relates to all of these folks (many of whom were enablers up through election day) testifying against the obvious evil here..... -
January 6th Committee Hearings Thread of Dominance
A-Tex Devil replied to Longhorn_Fan68's topic in Cloak Room
Exactly what I was thinking. This dude doesn’t know what equal time means. -
If Kopser then Davis couldn't beat this guy, no one will. We are stuck with him. I was in law school at same time as him and don't remember this dude at all. I am sure it helped me enjoy that time better. What a clown. He did refuse to vote against the certifications on 1/6, as I recall, on some technical Federalist grounds, so he's got that going for him in a (stealing from Chris Rock), bragging about something your supposed to do kind of way.

2022 Houston Rockets Offseason Thread - Lottery, Lottery, Lottery
A-Tex Devil replied to BigOrange1's topic in Basketball
Fair. I think Mark Williams will be better than Robert Williams with better measurables, although that may be an apt comparison. And that's a top 20 pick, perhaps not a lottery pick, I'd put Mobley on another tier than Robert Williams, though. That dude will be special. -
2022 Houston Rockets Offseason Thread - Lottery, Lottery, Lottery
A-Tex Devil replied to BigOrange1's topic in Basketball
Can we move up and get Mark Williams, please? That dude is going to be a higher end Capela, The scouts see 3-pt ability there, too, so perhaps, as a ceiling, better than Ibaka. And I think he could play with Sengun. -
Peaky F'ng Blinders - Season 6 (Final Season)
A-Tex Devil replied to MonkeyDoughnut's topic in Movies and TV
Yeah.... something happened in the final episode that I was very confused by until I went back and read up on it, and was like "oh yeah." But I had totally forgotten. I presume they are going to do a movie. I feel like there is an entire major plotline here that was just dropped the last episode and a half, which otherwise makes some of Tommy's early season actions seem dumb/unnecessary. If they never address it, then the final season gets a C and likely the weakest season. If they do address it, I'll change my tune. If they do make a movie, do they set it to run through 1940 somehow? Are we allowed to spoil history here? -
This is where I am although I’ve not seen Wright. I think Pefok is a specific tool that you want on your bench so if he is doing well for club in the fall, you add him. Bringing Pefok and Aaronson in minute 60 of a tied group game in Qatar is enticing.

Tillman has been with the team for like 3 weeks. Tops. Bayern isn’t dumb.

While I am hopeful something substantive comes out of this to take action against Trump, it seems to me that the main goal is to make Trump so toxic even to the latent/passive part of the GOP base that would lazily pull the lever for him, that he won’t even run in 2024 or is otherwise unelectable. I just can imagine most of the Senate Pubs and even guys like McCarthy to an extent are secretly supportive of these hearings as a chickenshit, and probably futile, effort to take back their party, so they don’t have to publicly castigate Trump until it’s cool to do so again. -
So John Oliver and others often buy regional ad space via cable companies on Fox News. The Catheter Cowboy for example. Why not just collect the best sound bites and pay to place ads during Fox & Friends, etc. breaks over the course of the following days? The logistics can't be that hard. Seems like a job for The Lincoln Project.
-
Ignore me, I’m an idiot. I guess you take Aaronson off of those 7. But man I love him on the field. Maybe he is the super sub that sees time in every game. I presume one of those 7 are hurt or not in form in November anyway.
-
Some soccer nerd will say it’s impossible, but honestly, if Gio is healthy, I want CP, Gio, Weah, Aaronson, Weston, Adams and Musah all in together. One time. And Weah makes as much sense as a quasi-9 than anyone else in that group I guess.
-
Yeah, he can score in the next 10 FCD games but he’s out of his league here.

The Beto Effect - How To Lose Elections and Influence Nothing
A-Tex Devil replied to tantric superman's topic in Cloak Room
Honestly, I think Beto should go reverse Bulworth. No fucks given but 100% engaged. He is probably not going to win. But a mild mannered “when they go low…” campaign is DEFINITELY a loser. Go scorched earth and don’t limit attacks to Abbott, but hit out at Paxton, Patrick, the Mayor of Uvalde, Trump, Gaetz, DeSantis, etc etc. Call them criminals, question their manhood, hold more pop up press conferences outside of their fundraisers. But speak the truth. He’s angry right now but I am not sure he has the fortitude to stick something like that out for very long. But if not him, who?
