  1. I think McKay's interview with Sean Fennessey on the Big Picture pod was very good, and they touch on some of the concepts underpinning the movie, including the construction of the ending sequence compared to most non-satirical disaster movies. There are also plenty of written interviews/articles easily googleable. I think Leo even did a 2 minute explainer video for Netflix. But yeah, I'm not saying more because this isn't the right place.
  2. Watched The Lost Daughter (on Netflix) and The Humans (on Showtime) over the weekend. The Lost Daughter is Maggie Gyllenhaal's directorial debut, based on a 2006 novel. I think classified as a psychological thriller (though that may be a bit misleading), it explores the tensions that seem inherent in motherhood (I would assume). I thought it was really, really excellent. Olivia Coleman and Jessie Buckley were phenomenal. Some of the "omens" were a bit heavy handed, and I just can't really buy Dakota Johnson, but overall a great watch. The Humans is a bit like a horror movie without the blood and guts. I thought it worked well overall and is worth a watch. Gave me flashbacks of the first time my parents visited my crappy apartment in nyc many years ago.
  3. It absolutely is an activist movie and it absolutely does have an agenda. Both creators and the lead actor have been shouting the agenda to anyone who will listen.
  4. It would be helpful if a prominent public official - or maybe even the wife of a prominent public official - devoted 8 years to promoting something like healthy school lunches. I bet we could all coalesce around something as common sense as that.
  5. I legit have no memory of Anthony Johnson or Charlie Williams and I feel like I follow this shit [program] religiously.
  6. I would very much like to see Kitan Crawford on the field if he doesn’t hit the portal.
  7. That was one of the most lol moments for me. It reminded me of the ATN scrawls on Succession, like “Gender Fluid Illegals May Be Entering the Country Twice!”
  8. Ok, I see you are referring to the actual characters, rather than the overall circumstances facing the characters, which they creators of the film have been extremely clear about.
  9. What winking and nodding do you think was taking place re exaggerated circumstances?
  10. I think he’s still around. Just posts less after he got time off for going full on Joe Rogan nutter.
  11. You guys don’t really have to guess
  12. It’s an imperfect measurement for a variety of reasons (particularly because it doesn’t take transfers into account), but Charlie Strong’s 2014 team had a 60% Blue Chip Ratio (top 10). Tom Herman’s 2017 team had a 46% Blue Chip Ratio (well outside of the top 10). Sark’s 2021 team had a 66% Blue Chip Ratio (back inside the top 10).
  13. There are virtually zero data points indicating Sarkisian will succeed here. There are a massive shit ton of data points indicating he will not. Of course we all hope that isn’t the case - and perhaps Ewers can be his Vince Young/Cam Newton - but simply saying “we don’t know anything” doesn’t come close to telling the full story.
  14. I've done this dance every year during end of year bonus season since I graduated from law school 7 years ago. Every year I hesitate a bit thinking I'm buying in at the peak, and every year I bite the bullet and dump it in nevertheless. And it just keeps on going up. I buy VOO mostly.
  15. It’s weird how this virus effects people so differently. My wife and I both became symptomatic on the same day (with basically everyone else in New York). I ran 100-101 for 3-4 days, and then was pretty much fine outside of fatigue, taste and some mild shortness of breath. We’re on day 14, and my wife has had 99-100 every single day, and today ran up to 101. Early 30s, good shape, vaxxed and boosted, sleeping a ton, but just can’t seem to shake it. Frustrating.
  16. Dry Cleaning - New Long Leg Vince Staples - Vince Staples The Weather Station - Ignorance Snail Mail - Valentine The War On Drugs - I Don’t Live Here Anymore Parquet Courts - Sympathy for Life That’s all I really got this year
  17. Thanks for starting, I’m in. Thought episode 5 was great. I find myself much more interested in the flashbacks than the “present day”
  18. Certainly possible this is true, but sounds very similar to what I just went through with Covid. Started feeling bad with a fever, took an at home test, negative. Next day feeling worse, got a rapid antigen and a 24 hour PCR, both came back negative. Then had 3 straight days of 101-102 fever. On day 6 fever was back to low grade so I took another rapid antigen, came back positive.
  19. Did you have a stroke while typing this? In any event, quoting you was a mistake
  20. Azor, an excellent slow burn “thriller” set in Argentina in the 80s. Check it out
  21. Or J Edgar, an absolute dog shit movie.
  22. Are these the same friends who predicted a mutiny at A&M heading into the Alabama game?
  23. That’s dope. Here is one closer to the price point you mentioned and also happens to be right here in New York. Ok I’ll stop clogging this thread now https://www.chrono24.com/omega/seamaster-de-ville--id21293140.htm
  24. Comedy Celler for standup. Go for MacDougal street since it’s your first time, but Village Underground is right around the corner and has the same lineup. Now that the old UCB is gone, I don’t know of a good improv place in Manhattan. For jazz, I like Smalls better than Village Vanguard, but both are great. If you can stay up late or score the right types of intoxicants, they have an “open mic” that starts at like 3:00 am where a bunch of nyu kids just take turns jamming. At least they did pre-COVID, I haven’t been since. You should reserve in advance for all of the above.
  25. Maybe we should fire up another aggy petition just to be safe.
