  1. Seeing Katherine LaNassa’s speech was jarring. Sounded totally different.
  2. What a hilarious game that was. Me and a few buddies drove up there for it and had a great time.
  3. With all of the training and camps, there is no reason his feet are so bad. Look at that throw to the TE in the Twitter thread above. He should be turning and firing that over there. Instead, it’s a side arm pass with bad feet and no zip. He moves well in the pocket, but never resets his feet when he moves, even when he has plenty of time. It’s just slop feet and trying to only use his arm. There is no way he was taught that over the years of focused coaching he has had. It has to be mental. I hope it’s a hiccup and not just what he is.

    I don’t care for this A&M offense.
  5. I heard “fiddlin’”
  6. I agree but those numbers show a real commitment to decrease. To cut your purchases from 45% to 13% for an essential resource in 3 years is significant. I presume they’ll keep decreasing. Hungary is going to Hungary and Slovakia isn’t a big factor. Overall, they seem to be doing a good job getting away from Russia.
  7. Man, that is grim
  8. Yeah, that's kind of what I meant about a mess tonally. At first, it was serious but buoyant, but after it started to got dark (and kept getting darker), it seemingly couldn't recalibrate properly. It was like Snatch, just the dials weren't properly set.
  9. Saw Caught Stealing yesterday. That is a lot of movie and kind of a mess tonally, but it was ultimately a fun time and a bit of a throwback. I could see it being the perfect movie for a couple of drinks on a Friday night. It moves and is twisting and turning until the end.
  10. Yep, wrong thread, ban user, etc.

  12. Look, it's a flaw in an otherwise good movie. It should have either been better explained or the authority figures completely ignored. It was too in the middle. I still had fun and would recommend it. It's 2025, if 17 3rd graders disappeared there would be dozens of FBI agents/podcasters/Nancy Grace-types in that area for weeks. The moment she tried to tell someone his parents had "consumption", the antennas would be up, especially if her first claim was that a man who has been around the school and presumably has friends (parents? siblings?) and is gainfully employed had a stroke two years ago and can't talk. SOMEONE would know better and call it in immediately. Adults don't just disappear. If the local police were a bunch of monkeys banging on typewriters, someone in the FBI would put it together. There's no way the parents just let it go and Brolin is the only one going deep on it. I checked and Cregger doesn't have kids, which makes sense, because he hasn't been exposed to the viper pit that are 3rd grade parent WhatsApp groups and text message chains. That shit's for real.
  13. Saw it last week and enjoyed it, even as someone who is not a horror fan. It's well made and pretty fun. One thing was gnawing at me the whole time, though
  14. What this game presupposes is, what if Arch Manning is not good?
  15. Do you think they’ll ask Saban why he had his coaches talk about Sark’s alcoholism to recruits?
  16. When can we stop pretending Raiola is good? Just trying to plan ahead.
  17. I went to see this movie today. I think it's an HBO doc, so hopefully it will be on that service before too long. At the Alamo, they showed a previously unseen performance after the feature, which was expectedly great. I really enjoyed it. I have no artistic ability, so people with unexplainable gifts like Buckley are magic to me. I can't get my head around it. He was an unbelievable talent and as charismatic as they come. He comes across as a guy who knew he had these tools but also couldn't comprehend what to do with them (like the bunny in "Swingers") or if he even wanted it. There were too many internal forces holding him back. The end of the story is tragic and the last voicemail to his mom broke me. The movie did the typical thing where everyone says "He was as happy as I've ever heard him" right before his death, but I choose to believe it and leave him in that place. Finally being able to stuff at least some of those skeletons in the closet and look at the world with the sun streaming in from a new day. On a personal note, I took note that he seemed to be calling people out of the blue in the weeks before his death. About 4 years ago, I got a random call from my college roommate who I hadn't talked to in probably 10 years. We talked for a good hour. About a month later, he died at 39. When I was talking to some other college friends about it, they said that they had not heard from him in years, but he had called them recently. Like he was closing his accounts and saying goodbye. Maybe you just know. And I write this with "Hallelujah" in my headphones, my heart breaking again.

    Have you asked them to come play on your stage? The worst they can do is say “no”
  19. Agree. I was hoping we were done with all of that. We’ll see how it turns out.
  20. Rose Byrne is out of control hilarious in Spy, the Melissa McCarthy movie. Her and Statham make that movie great. I ran into Bobby Canavale at LegoLand. Told him I enjoyed his work and asked him to tell Rose how amazing she was in Spy. I’m sure it was never passed on but I like the idea that it was and it made her happy for a moment.
  21. We just went on a family trip to Paris and partly because of last season’s visit to Strasbourg, we trained out there for a couple of nights. We had a cheese plate at the store where they did the cheese tasting challenge and visited the church in town. It was great to see another part of France and it was a very cool town, with its huge Germanic influences. We really enjoyed it there.
  22. So, you’re pro a nationalized police force? Is that constitutional?
  23. Decision to Leave is good, but pretty mid for Park Chan-Wook, which says more about him than the movie. He makes great movies. Decision to Leave is beautiful looking and that ending is wild.
  24. We are heading to Paris today, so watched Before Sunset last night. I love that movie so much. When Delpy is on the boat, with the sun hitting her hair, I don't know if anyone has ever been more intoxicating. The scene in the car breaks me every time. A true masterpiece.
