  1. Cage in Driver’s role would have been the cherry on top for this one. I probably would’ve stayed for the entire movie just to see what he would have done.
  2. These people…Just the dumbest and most crooked idiots in our society. Walters is a guy that needs to be smacked in the face with a shovel.
  3. Left after an hour because the movie was really hard for me personally to comprehend. Perhaps that was the point of it. I am not entirely sure. There are probably folks who can follow the plot better than I could. I really don’t have much bad to say. I just failed to connect with this one. From what I gather I am not alone on that.
  4. The Lakers will go as far as Bronny will take them. The franchise is now on his shoulders since we’re paying him to be part of this. I can probably throw a rock further than the distance they go with him, but man it will be a fun train wreck to watch. Father and son taking an iconic franchise over a cliff will be scintillating to witness.
  5. I’m giving it a go tonight in IMAX. We’ll see how this goes. In general I enjoy Adam Driver so we’ll see.
  6. That Quaid scene was so hard to watch. The sound alone. Just completely disgusting.
  7. Yankees-Royals will be a fun series. I’m interested to see how Soto does in his first playoff series in The Bronx. I think he’s the key offensively. If he’s getting on-base and giving Judge and Stanton chances to drive him in I feel good about the Yanks. You can’t let KC hang around by leaving guys on base. The pitching gives me pause though with them. That is my main issue that I see. I especially want to see how the pen performs in high leverage situations that will be coming up soon.
  8. I personally prefer how Dominicans pronounce Yankees. Sounds cooler honestly.
  9. What an amazing human being he was. 58 years seems so very short for a man who did so much to better the lives of the people back home in The Congo as well as Africa as a whole. His love of people was his greatest quality. We could use more folks like him. My absolute favorite basketball memory of him will always be seeing him lying on the floor after game 5 in Seattle in 1994 holding the ball. The sheer joy in his face was one of the most iconic moments in NBA history. That was the perfect encapsulation of who Dikembe was as a human being. The world was better for him being born and he left things far better than he found them. Rest in peace big man.
  10. One has the protection of an entire death cult and the other is intensely disliked by his party and constituents.
  11. This guy deserves his own thread. His is completely inept, incompetent, belligerent and a clownshow who has likely committed some form of fraud. I hope he gets locked up in Epstein’s cell. For everyone that hated DeBlasio just know that this guy was a downgrade from that. Hopefully Gov. Hochul has him removed ASAP. Jumaane Williams would be the acting mayor in this case. Williams would make a great mayor, but I would rather see him go to work in Washington at some point. This city needs a woman as its mayor. Go back and right the wrong decision from 2021 and get a woman in this office. I know AOC already called on him to resign and Adams clapped back at her. Not certain you want to screw with the most popular politician in NYC, but then again Adams has an IQ south of 40 so probably not the last swipe he takes at her.
  12. There is good football there. Lampasas should make it to the Stephenville game undefeated. I will stand by the Badgers making it out of Region 1. Wimberley, despite giving up 35 points and 300 plus rushing yards last week to Lampasas, which marked the most points they have allowed in the regular season since Lampasas put 58 up against them in 2020( @Beau Vine deserves one last reminder for running his mouth), still should be the favorite to win their region. Plenty of quality football I think in the area. DFW has the most depth overall in terms of quality teams.
  13. I cast my primary votes for three women in the ranked choice system we have here. If I could’ve had 1000 choices I would not have voted for Adams. I did not vote in the general election because I was not casting a vote for this fraud. If he took bribes then by God put that guy under the prison because there was nothing about him that seemed above board before he became mayor nor after.
  14. By gawwwwd that’s Jerry Jones’s music!
  15. Why not both?
  16. Just go and see it on the big screen. Even if you go by yourself it’s worth it to do it for this one.
  17. I can respect that opinion. This is way outside of my normal movie range. Not every movie is for everyone and there’s plenty I make no connection with. I think it is just how shocking the movie might be why I enjoyed it so much. I would appreciate more outside the box thinking from writers and directors like this across all genres.
  18. I thought I would give @Beau Vine the weekend to admit he may have been a little off the mark saying Wimberley would “beat the **** out of Lampasas again.” Stoever had another really good game, but had two turnovers that turned out to be crucial. If he had Ty Johnson to throw the pill to this game might have turned out differently. Johnson’s 91 yard kickoff return was the first highlight. It’s be fun to have that size and that track speed for a day. Should be interesting to see how long it takes for Texas to send him an offer for 2027.
  19. Yesterday I went to the beach for the day, but had to take a different route there and back because of track replacement on the A line. I come back through Queens and man this message is not passive-aggressive, but just plain ol’ aggressive-aggressive.
  20. His sperm donor looks like he’s almost got both his feet in the grave.
  21. Well you will get plenty of both. Demi Moore deserves a best actress nomination for her performance. Just a wild movie. Go and watch it. Again nightmare fuel, but too good of a movie to not see.
  22. Yes that fascination is something I will never get. I get to read books for class about the Holocaust. They are not fun to read, but at least serve a necessary purpose.
  23. A low rent/imbecile at work likes it. I have learned in my interactions with this person that things they like have been overwhelmingly things I do not. Yes that’s enough for me not to watch it. Again I also stated I do not want to watch a show about a garbage human being that murdered someone in cold blood. This is something that should never have been made. When that coward died that should’ve been the last time his name was ever mentioned. He was a trash human being that got what he deserved.
  24. I work with several hundred people at work. There is a grand total of one person in the lot of them that I stay as far away from as possible. That one person mentioned to another co-worker that he is watching this show. That alone is enough for me to never watch this. I am sure it has some watchable moments in it and might well turn out to be okay, but I’ll skip it. Hernandez was a dirtbag who murdered another human being. We all know that though. Do not really care to see about any part of his life leading up to that moment or what happened after. He personified FAFO and he is one of the few human beings I feel that got exactly what he deserved for what he did.
  25. I would not bring in any food. When you see some of that stuff it’ll make your stomach turn. That movie goes right off the rails, but it all fit together so perfectly.
