  1. I haven't gotten around to watching The Closer yet and don't know what he did or didn't say about trans people in this special, but do you really believe this? I watched the first couple of specials he did for Netflix a few years ago and they were good but not Chappelle at his peak, regardless of any controversy. Dave peaked in the 2000's. There's better standup on Netflix and elsewhere from others today.
  2. I used to subscribe and would listen to his podcast if he had someone on I liked or sounded interesting, but it was usually for the guest. I never really thought he was a must listen nor really understood the appeal other than he typically could always land really high profile guests. But once he moved to Spotify it's like he ceased to exist. I had Spotify years ago for music and never liked the platform. There are a billion other podcasts out there that I don't need Spotify to listen to.
  3. This is probably making me grade it a little harsher than I would have if I had seen it a year and a half ago when it was supposed to come out. After all of the postponements and hype I think I built up the excitement in my head a little too much and it made the let down worse.
  4. She was fantastic and her scenes with Bond may have been the highlight of the movie. Unfortunately she was only in it for about 10 minutes.
  5. Movie just felt all over the place while trying to do too much. Casino Royale was the perfect Bond movie. They should have thrown the bank at everyone involved with it to stay on for all of Craig's films. I'd rank Craig's films as 1. Casino Royale 2. Skyfall 3. Quantum of Solace 4. Spectre . . . . . . 5. No Time To Die
  6. Lol at thinking anything about her past would disqualify her, whether it be her cam girl past, nudes, or anything else. We are way past holding elected officials to those types of ethical or moral standards in this country.
  7. Get ready to be more disturbed. It's not the same. It's worse. That 70's Show started in 1998 and took place in 1976. 22 years. The equivalent would be a "That 2000's Show" that starts in the year 2000 since the new show won't debut until 2022. Same with this new Wonder Years reboot. The original was exactly 20 years apart -- 1988 and 1968. This new one would have taken place in 2001 if it were the same.
  8. Two years ago I made the switch to a $3 pair of tweezers from the cosmetics aisle at Walgreens and just pluck out the hairs on my face after the shower. Sure it takes a little longer, you may want to go ahead and clear your morning schedule, but you won't get a smoother face than plucking out the hairs by the roots, and you'll only have to do it a couple of times a week instead of daily. The tweezers will last several lifetimes.
  9. I purchased new boxer briefs this weekend, wore a pair today, and found there's no peehole. Guess I didn't read the package closely enough. Why does men's underwear like this even exist? Waste of money for something that I'm going to end up throwing away.
  10. Isn't that a federal trafficking charge if you get caught bringing it back? Wouldn't it be much easier to just buy pot from a local dealer?
  11. He killed it in the Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle and its sequel, both of which were pretty big, quality movies.
  12. This was pretty decent but far from one of his greats. Liam Neeson already did the "old man takes a Mexican kid across the country while others hunt them down" movie earlier this year. I liked his version better.
  13. When a character smokes and it's clear they're not inhaling, instead just sucking in and blowing out smoke as quick as they can. I've never been a smoker but even I can tell that looks fake. Christian Bale can strain his heart gaining 60 pounds for a role, but you can't damage your lungs a bit for your art?

    Emmys 2021

    That reminds me....I need to get Apple TV and watch Ted Lasso.
  15. Any show that ends a season on a cliffhanger. Shows like "The Wire" do it right where every season is kind of its own story that gets wrapped up. There are way too many shows that pull that crap and then get cancelled which ruins the entire experience.
  16. I can remember having this same thought watching the Leftovers. When Liv Tyler was taking Tom to Texas in season 2 and they stop in that bar and dance, I'm pretty sure they were dancing to Sturgill Simpson. I was like, "Bullshit. That would not be playing in a bar on a jukebox in the middle of nowhere in small town podunk Texas."
  17. I realize it's probably an unpopular opinion, and yeah they've put out some good programs, but I'm just annoyed after my game watching experience last night. I know I should be angry at my dumbass self for not being better prepared after switching providers earlier this year and at Sling's shitty interface, which is what I watched it on after a quick cursory Google search. It just amazes me that after 10 YEARS it's STILL such a bitch to find outside of ATT, Verizon, and Dish. Yeah, your right. A dedicated pregame show and post game show for every game, that Pittman 44 story, 05, 1969, Ricky and Earl interview, baseball games, volleyball games, and all that money Mouse gave us. It really sucked. I'm sure we'll still get all that on SECW/2. We'll still get some of it. And yeah, most of those are pretty cool things. I haven't seen Pittman 44, but I've watched 05 and 69 a couple of times. It's not like the SEC doesn't do the same type of programs for their schools. I guess instead of watching the same handful of nostalgia programs 500 times in a row, there'll be 15 other schools we'll have to share airtime with. The homefield Gameday show and pre/post game shows don't really do much for me, also probably an unpopular opinion, nor having the color commentary being total homers for your team. I'll miss seeing former players, but that's it. I've never watched a single volleyball game and the money doesn't seem to help us win any games at all. We were better when we didn't have their money. Although I have heard that teams in the SEC make a little bit of money too, so there's that.
  18. The best part of us going to the SEC will be never having to watch a football game on the LHN ever again. What a shittastic experiment this was.
  19. He ignored the formal ceremony and did his own thing because, like everything, he had to make it not about the tragedy, but about himself. He went and visited the NYPD and NYFD where he talked a bunch of shit about Biden and basically campaigned for 2024 in front of cameras. If Obama or Biden did that every Fox viewer would be losing their shit.
  20. If you were going to make that kind of a long term arrangement OOC, at least call Nebraska before OSU.
  21. That you're a bloviating bore and your posts are sad. Nah, I probably won't. But feel free to post another 250 word essay highlighting your insecurities that almost no one here will read.
  22. I hurt my lower back in the gym either squatting or overhead pressing years ago and always had a pain in the lower right side of my back, probably from some sort of inflamed disc or pinched nerve. I know everyone's situation is different, but these two stretches I found on Youtube really helped alleviate the pain and get back to normal. I no longer have access to the video, but it's basically this: 1. Lay flat on your back with both your shoulders touching the floor. Bend your knees up and then rotate them to one side of the floor, keeping both your shoulders as flat as possible so that only your hips/lower back are stretching and turning. Hold for 30 seconds and then repeat on the other side. 2. Do the same thing with your back and shoulders flat on the floor. This time only lift up one knee and bend it. Rotate the bent knee over your other leg that's still flat on the floor and try to touch the bent knee to the floor or as close as you can. Your shoulders should still be as flat as possible on the floor. This should be a deeper stretch than the first one. Hold for 30 seconds and switch sides.
  23. So the games don't count when it's a new coach in his second game? Phew....that makes me feel better.
  24. 2008. Imagine being this worked up, angry, and miserable over football on somebody else's message board after your team won.
