  1. that will be an awesome show As for a decent place to get a bite, if it's just me I would go to North End and hit up Daily Catch, Neptune, Giacomo's. If you want lunch to soak up beer, go to Galleria Umberto and make sure to eat arancini and panzerotti and not just pizza. That place is an institution.
  2. If they're having the parade in Southie, it's worth going to check out. If you just want to booze it up, you can go pretty much anywhere.
  3. Interesting. I think he's funny.
  4. Here's my take for what it's worth. The books are all excellent but they are little more than an allegory of a knight errant righting wrongs. Lee Childs has admitted that if you look at the books logically they fall apart because no person could end up randomly walking into these sort of situations routinely. Reacher is smart, and interesting, but the real draw of the books is little more than Hulk Smash plus some fucking. That's a formula for sustained success. As for the actor they chose, I thought he was too wooden in the first few episodes but by the end really embodied the Reacher character. He was physically capable of pulling it off, but more importantly to me, he was able to act in a way that brought Reacher to life. One hangup I've always had is how a person who is basically a psychopath of the highest order can interact with normal people without coming across like a total sociopath as well. And this guy pulled it off. Funny, charming, arrogant, kind. Good show.
  5. This show was good. End of thread.
  6. About to post this. How is this possible? Also Solo is the unadulterated garbage.
  7. It all depends on how old it is. I have a maybe 25-30 year old 870 Express same description as yours. It is an excellent firearm. Sturdy, reliable and well made. At SHOT Show a few years ago I looked at the 870 line they had and they were all crap. They made Mossberg look like Krieghoff. Plastic safeties, thin stamped metal receivers. Just crap. Really too bad. Don't even get me started on the 11-87. What an abortion.
  8. The older 870s were excellent. The ones made for the past 15-20 years were trash.
  9. worst cheeseburger ever
  10. I am rewatching Season 1 as I watch Season 2 and this show just gets better and better. I missed tons of stuff the first time around.
  11. Got a recipe or special tips? That looks incredible.
  12. All I can say is that I stayed at the Fontainebleu and went to Joe's Stone Crab about ten years ago and both were awesome.
  13. "makes your tongue burn" is not the same thing as "melts in your mouth"
  14. this shit is just unacceptable
  15. you're felicia
  16. 100% the right response to that bullshit
  17. The thing that keeps drawing me back to this show through all the cringe and often poorly-conceived narrative is that the dialogue is frequently fantastic. For my money, this is brilliant: Tom: "Don't worry, Greg. It's a nice safe space where you don't have to pretend to like Hamilton." Greg: "I like Hamilton." Tom: "Sure you go. We all do." Just phenomenal to write something that solid and incisive while also saying more than just the one literal thing. Greg's liking Hamilton destroyed the safe space and Tom knows it's not really a safe space anyway.
  18. Agreed. Thanks for the rec on the Ken Onion sharpener. Every thing in my house made out of metal has a razor sharp edge on it now.
  19. I thought the difference between version 2 and version 3 was completely enormous. le Gris interpreted the intentional leaving of shoes on the stairwell as an invitation and everything else was playful banter. Anyway the duel slammed.
  20. But please don’t tell my clients
  21. Fine I’m an unconstitutional lawyer then
  22. Every time you post I’m more and more impressed. Really strong stuff.
  23. Idiotic
  24. Got it
  25. ALL CAPS ANALYSIS
