  1. Simms definitely stole a girl from @satyanash at Blind Pig back in 2000 and it lead to a lifelong grudge.
  2. It’s a shame that there was so much potential with this movie and it flopped so hard. If this had been a smash I could totally have seen Disney do a Woody origin story (which they could probably still do since Woody is the more popular character of the two). If you watch the Disney+ documentary on the making of Lightyear you see that the director of the film was seen as the “Buzz Lightyear expert” at Pixar. Perhaps he was too close to the character and didn’t get enough outside feedback when writing the story. I think you could have had a much more interesting film with the same cast of characters if it went something like this: - Buzz fails a mission early in the movie and is demoted - Buzz’s new duties involve leading the misfit cast of characters (except they’re actual Space Ranger recruits) - The misfit crew is on a mission and is attacked/captured by Zurg - The team works together to escape/defeat Zurg
  3. The animation was amazing, but the story seemed lacking. The whole twist thing seemed far-fetched at best. It seemed like the story was written more for the adults who grew up with Toy Story than the kids currently watching the Toy Story franchise.
  4. Because GOT is still the biggest HBO franchise ever and it’s a huge world with thousands of years of history to explore. Any of these seven prequels will still be better than all but a handful of what’s on HBO these days.
  5. Y’all are a fucking beating. It’s a fucking movie about dinosaurs. It’s not supposed to be The Godfather. The chase scene with the Atroraptors was great and the tie-ins with the original and current cast were fun. Goldblum was hysterical. Most of you would complain about an Alexandra Daddario sex video because it was shot with poor lighting.
  6. Public health in Hamsterdam?
  7. This announcer has the same tone as the Swedish Chef.
  8. This announcer somehow manages to combine the worst voice in broadcasting history with the energy of a small town market top 40 DJ
  9. Lots of the Four Gate stuff is finished, so if that’s not your thing then it’s probably best to stay away (since they’re usually like $200). I bought the batch 18 a month or two ago and it’s a straight bourbon (7+ years) aged in cognac barrels. I’m a huge fan of that one, but I love cognac finished bourbons and ryes.
  10. Picked these up at OLC yesterday. Four Gate puts out great stuff, but I’ve heard this batch 19 is the best of the lot.
  11. If they’re smart they’ll limit these prequels to 2-3 seasons. HOD should fit nicely into this timeline since the war only lasted about two years. Hopefully they wrote with this timeline in mind so that the pacing is much better than the end of GOT. Know your series length from the start and then write appropriately. I can’t imagine HBO is going season-to-season here. Hopefully they just greenlit the entire series.
  12. Spencer’s injury was literally a bad break. The way his leg broke was similar to if he had jumped out a two story building and landed on his feet. The leg broke vertically, compared to horizontally, which complicated his recovery.
  13. I was there over New Year’s and got the same pick. I’m a fan. I also picked up a MWND Act 9 for $250. Yeah, I overpaid, but I felt better about overpaying the owner (nice guy, talked to him for a bit) than some FB flipper. I hadn’t seen MWND in a store before and wanted one, so I said “fuck it”.
  14. Zierlien’s schtick is wearing thin. He’s a shill for anything LSU and aggy because of his hatred for Texas. I’m a big fan of the Stingley pick, but I think they missed out on a perennial Pro Bowler in Jordan Davis. That man will eat people alive.
  15. Now that’s a truly awful pick.
  16. Nah that’s why Philly traded up to 13 to get him. Texans had no intention of drafting him, which is disappointing.
  17. Was actually hoping they’d stay at 12 and draft Jordan Davis. Dude is gonna be an absolute monster.
  18. Texans fans booed when they drafted JJ Watt. I was at the draft party that night when it happened. I’m a proud Texans fan (for whatever reason), but most Texans fans are fucking morons. Glad to see most of the opinions on tonight’s pick fit the bill.
  19. Yeah, I definitely didn’t go hard the entire trip. I didn’t drink much during the days since each of the four nights was essentially the greatest bottle shares ever. I tasted some incredible bottles. Probably 3 or 4 different Old Carters. Red Breast 27. Several Four Gates. Plenty of BTAC. The list goes on. One guy brought like $15k worth of whiskey to this thing and gave pours away like it was water. It was an incredible experience that likely won’t be topped anytime soon.
  20. Yeah it’s the latest of the OF 117 series. It was awesome.
  21. The private tasting at Justin’s House of Bourbon was incredible. Highlights included pours of 21 year Hirsch Rye, 8 year Old Fitz from 1983 (Stizler-Weller juice), Joseph Magnus Cigar Blend and Old Forester very old 1910. I think it’s all downhill from here…
  22. For any listeners of The Podcask, I’m en route to Louisville for Whiskey Weekend. This is my first trip to KY, so I’m excited to check it out. I have a private tasting tonight at Justin’s House of Bourbon. The Carters are scheduled to be a part of the festivities this weekend and there are murmurs they will be setting up a pop up store like they did a few weeks ago.
  23. Oh I have two other bottles (batch 20 and batch 24). It may be my favorite bottle in my collection. Haven’t opened this new one yet, but probably will soon just to compare all three.
  24. Found a Joseph Magnus Cigar Blend (batch 53) at a mom and pop store tonight for $300 and had to pull the trigger. Retail is about $175 and you never see this bottle in the store, so I had to do it.
