  1. I mean, he pretty much deserved that. Surprising for sure, but I didn’t feel too bad about it. I have loved Kaitlyn Devers since Justified. She’s a great actress.
  2. I have always loved Michaela Watkins, so it’s great to see her have a chance to cook.
  3. My review: 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 There were 3 or 4 moments that I chuckled to myself because what I was seeing was so creative and good, namely the big musical number and the mid-credits scene. Really fun movie. I found the vampire stuff to be the weakest part, but the rest was A+.
  4. What’s the deal on IMAX? From what I see the only true IMAX is at Bullock and there are a couple of lesser IMAXs in town. Is it really that different? The Bullock times are harder for me to make.
  5. Complete fucking narcissist. It’s always someone else’s fault. His wife made a bad choice. It’s bad luck. It all happens TO him instead of because of his choices. She needs to force a separation again.
  6. A few VERY different ones: Chinatown - I read a book a few months ago about Robert Evans, Chinatown and the undoing of "Old Hollywood". That era fascinates me. I hadn't seen the movie in probably 20 years and it didn't speak to me at the time, so I went back to it. This may be a controversial opinion, but this movie is damn good. Definitely better than any movie about water rights has any right to be. Nicholson in KING mode. Drop - Had good reviews, so gave it a shot. Really enjoyed it for what it is. Definitely a throw back to the 50 movies like this in the 90's. Some of the tech stuff was a little clunky, but the tension builds well and it moves at a good clip. Very Hitchcockian feel. Megan Fahy is great and I hope she gets more shots. Sort of a random thought, but the opening had a very classic opening credits sequence that has gone out of style. The opening credits for something like Fight Club is still seared into my memory and I miss those. Magnolia - I started a PTA rewatch and got to this one. I don't think I have seen it since the theaters. It is still overlong and confounding in parts, but there is so much good in there. Easily the best performance of Cruise's career. The close of that section is just devastating. He could have easily cut the quiz show parts, and possibly Julianne Moore (bless her) and saved time. I love that late 90's Aimee Mann era and her songs fit so neatly with the movie. It is crazy that a 29 YO PTA was able to so clearly convey regret and the resulting pain from the actions of parents. A worthwhile near miss.
  7. I didn't like the way Fisk just orders a hit on Matt. They had their sit down earlier in the season, which showed there is a level of restraint and respect between each other. Every hero needs their super villain and vice versa. They don't want each other off the board, the game is more fun for them. They could take out those close to each other at any point and don't out of respect and not escalating things, then he chooses to kill Matt AFTER Matt saves his life? Doesn't track for me. Even if you accept the premise that he wants Matt dead, Fisk would want to be the one to do it, face to face, not by some toady.
  8. I don’t know man. Looks pretty bad to me. I hope it works.
  9. Yeah, for sure. Holly Anderson posts some great ones too. Unreal drive. I just did $413 in honor of 4th and 13 in the Peach Bowl.
  10. Saw this yesterday. It sounds ridiculous to say I "liked" it, but it was very well done and was affective. Good movie and worth the watch in theaters if you can make it out.
  11. I don't see how they don't bring her back. She was the favorite on the show and it would be lesser without her. Loved the show all the way through. I have been through a lot of ER's and testing the last few years, so when they are yelling out blood and oxygen numbers, I am going "Oh, that's not good." Something I wish I didn't know, but fun to have some context nonetheless.
  12. If you guys are looking to put some money out there to help immigrants, may I suggest the EDSBS/ShutownFullcast Charity Bowl? Every year they do this for American Pathways, which is a resettlement group. They are obviously having a hard time as funding has been cut by the government and there is a lot of uncertainty. Last year, I think they raised over $1M through this drive and are trying to surpass that. Since this is a college football (former) blog and podcast, they track it by school and have rivalries. Right now, A&M is beating our ass ($47K to $4K), so let's get that number up. https://www.moneycannon.org/?t=leaderboard They also encourage your donation to be a number that has meaning to the college football fandom. For instance, I put up $490 a couple years ago in honor of 49-0 over OU. People do rushing yards, pass completions, etc etc. Anyway, if you're so inclined, it is greatly appreciated by this charity and the immigrants that depend on it: https://fundraise.givesmart.com/e/k-yA-Q?vid=1iywsc
  13. This stuck out to me as well. Weaver is only 6’3”, but with his lightening quick ups and aggressiveness, he plays bigger.
  14. We ate at Common Bond and Hu’s Cooking (legit Chinese) a lot. Close to the med center. As others have said, Rice Village has a ton of stuff. They just put in a Loro on Kirby if you are a little more mobile.
  15. This fucking guy….
  16. My exact thought.
  17. He barely caught both bunkers.
  18. He’s been in a ton of great stuff so whenever I see him, I check his IMDB and am always baffled at his last 18 years. Just nothing of substance but he was a key part of a lot of beloved movies. Really bizarre disappearance.
  19. What a shot and he took off walking immediately. He knew he stuck it.
  20. What are all of those pars on that card? Unnatural.
  21. That chart is nuts. Denver can be anywhere 4-7 and Clippers can be 4, 5 or 7, but not 6.
  22. Those charts are hilarious. What a monster. Seems like he would be a great locker room guy for a young team too.
