  1. Carlos Pena now plays for Helsinki, Sweden
  2. Just was a little shocked about the Michael Oher lawsuit against his conservators - Theres a thread on the football board. Another Michael Lewis adaptation Moneyball was greatly manipulated and may have crossed the line - the whole Jeremy Pena thing didnt go down like that. I was also disappointed that the cons from Catch Me If You Can were probably greatly exaggerated. He was no doctor or lawyer. Almost every scene was a fake of a fake. I guess growing up means learning a lot of the things you see in movies are bullshit, but some of these things go beyond slight changes for lack of time and into complete distortion.
  3. The movie focused on Oppenheimer’s rise, peak, and fall. 2/3 of the movie focused on what you felt was extraneous. And the irony of something so petty as personal grudge just adds meat to the bone. It’s like a “Rosebud” moment in Citizen Kane. The reporter searches for meaning, and its just a sled (or a euphemism for Marion Davis’ pussy). We follow the story of Opp’s downfall and learn its largely orchestrated.
  4. The grudge was set up masterfully. Early on they set up the microsnubs (a lowly shoe salesman, Einstein meeting). Downey being a likeable actor was perfectly cast to pull the switch. The clearance was central to two of the stories we see, and part of the unraveling of the third - Oppenheimer’s linear storyline.
  5. Out of desperation two years ago, Collins needed to be playing end because we were getting gashed by simple off tackle plays and obliterated by counters. Ovie was a non factor on almost every play. Its why I thought PK was developmentally challenged. But if Collins cant play inside, he cant play.
  6. Shit I saw Right Stuff when I was 10 or so. Loved it back then.
  7. The familiar vet scenes were awesome
  8. Jason Clarke is like in every other movie
  9. Texas has beaches like Rosie O’Donnell has a pussy. Neither is inviting, except as a fishing destination.
  10. Knock em dead son. I’ll do what you do at restaurants during meals that I pay for and catch it from my phone.
  11. My opinion is that Jesus Christ’ teachings are incompatible with Trump’s rhetoric, actions, and public policy positions. Moreover, he inspires terroristic actions not unlike ISIS clerics we used to vaporize. Maybe a little mob boss mixed in. some enlightening results that exposes the hypocrisy. Of course there are some exceptions: For the Ute Mormans, they disliked Trump early on for being morally repugnant but have gradually rallied around him. From my own experience in the Catholic church, I find the prosperous parishes filled with white people to be hyper-focused on abortion. Even using the homily to spike the ball after Roe v Wade was reversed. And the bishops love them some life except when it comes to capital punishment, police brutality and wars of aggression. The less prosperous parishes with more diversity are more into helping the community. You tend to see more nuns, because they bust their asses and are on the frontlines of poverty, unwed mothers, and homeless.
  12. Im good with harsher penalties for woman beaters.
  13. This is another one of your Helsinki, Sweden moments. Terrorists tend to be single men. Single people are rarely terrorists. Yet, the latest round of domestic terrorists tend to be rightwing. Though anecdotally, there’s more and more family men convicted of federal crimes after attempting to violently overthrow our government. The both sides movement is crumbling. Standard-bearers like Joe Rogan and Elon Musk are proving over and over again they are rightwing or exploiting conservatism and libertarianism to extend their brand of nihilism.
  14. Like most terrorists.
  15. “She is a graduate of Oklahoma State University and lives in a $2 million home in Lakewood neighborhood, according to public records.”
  16. When I think West Lake government, I think a well run efficient machine that understands how to manage difficult problems, by segregating itself from poverty and persons of color, targeting suspicious vehicles and persons who dont belong, and planning a community with septic systems.
  17. Rollingwood is not relevant. Its Westlake. You say a QB is from Rollingwood. They say “huh, wat?” You say Westlake…they say “white boy with high floor”
  18. I hate to admit I hated the Magic dream sequences and any scene with Cookie. Like a slow motion car wreck and just bores me to death. Im not a fast forward guy but it gives me Mad Men Don Draper homelife vibes - and is filler and a weak link.
  19. Ned Reyerson is a classic character actor. Grew up in South Dallas with the Vaughan brothers and had little Stevie play guitar in a recording session with his garage band. Additionally, he said he was there in Austin when Stevie and Jimmie reconciled and planned Family Style.
  20. Barbie’s a hit! Lets do more toy movies Ignoring Greta Gerwig’s vision to do something different and casting Margot Robbie and Gosling. Oppenheimer’s a hit! Which scientist is next!!! Lets do Faraday or Marconi! These suits cant wait to AI this shit, not realizing it could mean the end of their industry and open up themselves to global competition.
  21. Mitch McConnell and Diane Feinstein are on it
  22. Young generations, especially post atomic age, have pushed for social change.
