  1. You mean like the rest of us?
  2. I know i missed it. But wtf was all that trash in the outfield fence? Homeless camp?
  3. One could make the argument that that thing becoming a governor of a state, even as shitty and backwards as Arkansas, is the final nail in the coffin of democracy. Its like why bother with civilization, let alone government. Lets just live in little hamlets.
  4. The multidimensional alliances and quagmires of our post 9/11 age is vexing. Its like reading Napoleon’s ascent in Republican France, from a Corsican separatist to French Nationalist/Republican to new royalist. Im an educated follower of politics and I have no idea whats going on. The grifters are thriving the chaos.
  5. Cilian Murphy is a national treasure. A great Brit
  6. Get VPN
  7. Its the Eskimo Hut model with a dash of the Producers.
  8. Aint no more ledge. It’s a plank.
  9. Pardoning a brownshirt. Just part of the plan
  10. Is Gerami pulling a Michael Scott?
  11. In 2001, Mack Brown and Greg Davis didnt play one of the greatest Texas running backs Cedric Benson because he was a freshman and maybe didnt know the pass protections. Texas scored 3 points, probably due to a Derrick Johnson forced fumble. This is the equivalent football blunder as Musk running off communities from twitter.
  12. Rainey Street Roofier?
  13. On my recent flight to Phoenix, suffered through a good 1 hour of no a/c on tarmac and then another 45 minutes or so upon descent. On the way off the plane, a lady passed out. When i finally exited, it felt much cooler in first class. Could this be my imagination that first class was cooled and schlubs got nada? Gonna need to dust off my copy of Das Kapital. This is an outrage!
  14. The stepmom, in particular, was a fascinating story as was the Joe’s dad descent after losing Joe’s mom. Then the story of Joe taking care of himself on his own land, then working on the Gorge dam. Then the rigors and passion of the sport. Unbelievable and gritty stuff. Also have the story and pedigree of George Pocock and his influence on the sport was fascinating. You had a perfect set up to tell his story as a break from Joe’s story. Lot of meat and extraordinary scenes from history. At the end of the day, I suspect finances and wanting to appeal to the broadest audience made this just another sports movie.
  15. Hate to be a bookfag, but thought there was a huge discrepancy between the quality of the book and what was portrayed on screen. It was a solid average movie, decent casting. The book was an epic story of Joe Rantz and his unlikely rise with others as an Olympic Gold medalist. The biggest mistake was putting too much in and focusing (superficially) on the love story. The meat of the story was left the floor.
  16. You bookfags. Unless you read 120-page novellas they arent being faithfully adopted into a 2-hour movie. Regardless, on Surly people arent worried about bookfags snobby opinions.
  17. Thank God. Still dead. Get worried every time this thread gets bumped.
  18. Starship Troopers and Big Trouble do not belong on that list because: 1) They have both aged well 2) Directed by geniuses 3) This is Surly and we mostly love those films now if you admit you love Starship Troopers 2-4, then you’re on to something
  19. There’s no fighting in the war room!
  20. One thing I appreciated about Glory is that it didnt have much battle porn, that glorified war. But it showed men, black and white, heroic and scared, killing and dying. It glorified the men who were in the war.
  21. As a conman, Deion will spread rumors that Arizona or Giants are interested, and Jerrah will pick in the first round. Most likely scenario.
  22. With the current trajectory I’d pencil Shadeur in as a Cowboy. Middle of the 1st or 3rd round depending Dax’s status. Other Circus Destinations Cleveland Vegas Arizona Carolina Based on Need Rams Giants So thats 7 teams in the market, but I dont think serious organizations like the Rams or Giants (they try) want non-serious people at QB. So that leaves five dysfunctional teams in various stages of QB uncertainty that likely will take a hard look and want a piece of the Sanders hype machine. Its also possible and likely in the eval and interview process, the Sanders team will alienate these remaining franchises. Thats why I think Jerrah will get both Sanders kids. Travis Hunter is an elite prospect. He will get drafted, then work will get done to separate him from Deion’s team or whatever it is.
  23. So your policy is just to move “trash” around and kinda keep them out of an area that has been known as “Dirty Sixth” for 30 years.
