  1. Stumbled right into the best movie I have seen this year. I think that even @billfromlaketravis will like this. I love Colorado and this movie is set in the San Luis Valley. One of the harsher yet beautiful areas of Colorado. A massive fire wiped out a bunch of homes and people come together to start over. What a masterpiece of a movie. I think this is one that will resonate with almost everyone who posts here. Josh O’Connor, a Brit, does a great job in this role. I’m more familiar with him from his work in the UK, but he really nailed this role.
  2. Costello’s book was really enjoyable to read. Spector’s book was a good read as well for broad knowledge on what transpired. I will read pretty much anything on The Pacific War since it’s the focus of what I study the most. I try to mix in plenty of reading from authors giving the Japanese perspective as well. It’s interesting and worth it to read about why Japan acted the way they did and how a good deal of their foreign policy came about because of the actions of other countries (Mostly the United States and Britain, but not entirely) towards them both well before and after the First World War.
  3. If you are going to lie on behalf of the fascists currently in charge then yes his career deserves to come to an end and he should at a later point get a court-martial whenever the country comes out of this. You either protect and defend the constitution that you swore an oath to or you get ex-communicated from the military completely due to shameful actions like this. We’re about to find out.
  4. Very determined drug runners. The best drug runners. Many people are saying this.
  5. Yes the rule of law on such things should matter. However, rules stopped mattering a good while ago now and playing by the rules of a system that exists in name only does not much matter. It would be nice if he’d get a subpoena though so he can at least say he is doing it by the book even if the book has been torched.
  6. Great book. Pretty cool that he went onto be a college professor. Peleliu is a place I will go to see since it’s easier to get there from Hawai’i than it was when I lived in New York. I worked with someone out here that grew up there and her uncle owns one of the two hotels they have.
  7. I wanna pull up the Idi Amin gif, but I never enjoyed watching Paul play.
  8. The story about his season in Puerto Rico was pretty cool. Didn’t realize he got the whole thing started when Cousins got in a fight with the fans. Gallinari went out winning their title and finals mvp so good on him.
  9. Someone is going to have to be an adult at some point and say "The Secretary of War made the call on shooting the survivors and he was watching. I know this because he gave the illegal order to murder the survivors." Until we get that this is all just garbage like the rest of everything else these buffoons do.
  10. "Franklin is a bad dude." TFG- probably
  11. I support people smoking all the weed that they want even though I've never smoked. This other stuff that has had a traumatic effect on your son and family needs to be shot into the sun.
  12. Can someone just piss on this guy while he’s walking down the street? No need to wait for him to be part of the grave pissing tour. What a coward.
  13. I still haven’t gone to see it. Seen so many WWII movies this semester because of class that I’m not certain I want to see anymore Nazis for a bit. I am sure this movie is well done and I do like Rami Malek.
  14. I am all for teams doing this. Spend money and try to win. I can’t stand the moochers like Pittsburgh and the A’s who make no attempt to win at all and just take their revenue sharing money and pocket it instead of investing in the team.
  15. Rendon is and was a selfish prick. There were warning signs on taking him on, but the Angels threw a ridiculous amount of money at him anyhow. I hope he moves back to Texas and loses everything he owns in a hurricane.
