  1. Companion - I didn't have whole lot of interest in this, but I kept hearing great things, so I took a shot. It's a really good and creative thriller. I would go in blind if you can, but I knew the premise and it still worked for me. I thought both the premise and the execution of the story were very clever and I was entertained the whole time.
  2. I thought Moody Center was a bit big for them, so I looked at the available tickets. They've sold MAYBE 15%-20% of the seats. I don't know who keeps putting these groups in way too large venues, but they need to give it up. I know The Black Keys had to trash a whole tour because of this.
  3. This is all correct. I heard Adam Newman on The Big Picture refer to one scene in particular (you know the one) as a “metafive”, as opposed to a metaphor, due to how on the nose it was.
  4. His “I don’t know what any of this shit is and I’m fucking scared” in the parking lot scene kills me every time.
  5. This hit the festivals last year and the buzz was that it was one of the funniest movies in years. The marketing is pretty interesting with the horror style but with pull quotes about how funny it is. I’m excited for it.
  6. That’s from the phenomenal movie “20 Feet From Stardom” about backup singers. What’s not mentioned there is that she was very pregnant and was woken up in the middle of the night to come to the studio to lay that down. Legend.
  7. I also appreciated he didn’t pull a Johnny Jolly and celebrate. He just ran back to the sideline since they were kicking their heads kicked in.
  8. I literally just checked and counted over 20 movies playing at different Alamos on Tuesday. About 10 or so were old movies that they were showing (Se7en, Scott Pilgrim, etc) and the rest were new. I counted one animated movie. There is always something new to see. Whether those things are of interest is up to you. There is going to be a fewer movies in the summer with a lot being comic book, cartoons or sequels but that’s been going on for decades at this point. September 5th - A chronicle of a sort of the ABC Sports television crew attempting to cover the terrorist hostage situation at the 1972 Munich Olympics. It thought it was really good and moved at a fast clip. Also, seeing the process of the coverage and the moral decisions they had to make was really interesting. Definitely recommend.
  9. Did the Adelsteins see Luka at a pro-Palestinian march or something?
  10. This won’t stand out on the resume at the end of the year but it 100% would if it was a loss. Definitely a Can’t Lose game and they got it done. The team is very streaky but when it’s humming, they’re fun to watch.
  11. I watched it again with my dad and enjoyed it more the second time. I did read the Live From New York oral history that came out like 20 years ago between viewings, so that may have been part of it.
  12. I read this at first and was like, "Oh shit, Jason Lee and Billy Crudup are hitting the road?" Very disappointed.
  13. I've gotten through half of these 1. Anora 2. Dune 2 3. The Brutalist (the second half really drags it down) 4. A Complete Unknown 5. Conclave I enjoyed all 5 for sure and they're all worth seeing. I hope Anora has a big night as I like Sean Baker and want him to see him get more backing for whatever he wants to do. I hope to see Nickel Boys and I'm Still Here before the broadcast, but those don't have a chance to win outside of Best Actress. The other 3 just aren't my tempo.
  14. Shot you want just couldn’t get it down.
  15. They have traveled like 5 times the last 3 possessions.
  16. Box score says Shedrick has 3. Announcers are idiots.
  17. 3 and 4 are a step down but still good for some background watching. The last season was great and is for sure worth watching. Tits up
  18. I was just coming here to see if anyone had a code. Anything for tomorrow’s LiveNation presale? I assume the artist presale is out already.
  19. Saw them on the Under The Blacklight tour, but super excited that they’re going to do more shows. It’s crazy that that was 17 years ago. Getting old. More Adventurous and Execution of All Things are some of my favorite albums of that era. I missed The Postal Service and Jenny Lewis shows last year for health reasons, which I was pissed about. I’m not missing this one.
  20. After seeing A Complete Unknown last week (pretty good!), I went back and watched No Direction Home and Don't Look Back again. I hadn't seen either in years. Both are really worth the time if you're interested in the period from the movie (No Direction Home) and the tour right after (Don't Look Back). This scene always makes me laugh. I'm sure it's edited for effect, but I don't think I've ever seen someone snatch someone else's soul like this:
  21. Fans - yes Players - no
  22. I think more people have posted here than have paid money to go see this movie in the US.
  23. Why go zero there, against this receiving group? Idiots all over.
