Apparently I posted this on the wrong thread.

I enjoyed it for what it was. It felt like a watered down attempt to re-create John Wick, except the villains and pacing were subpar to that one. I might watch it again someday if it's on TV. It was probably better than the two John Wick sequels.

I really don't see what the big deal is. So a longtime conference rival throws a little Twitter shade at us after we lose a tournament game to a tiny school's basketball team we should have curbstomped and y'all are getting bent out of shape? Were they supposed to hug us and tell us it'll all be okay? Act like the SEC and root for their conference rivals to win it all? Nah, none of that. Who cares what they posted on Twitter.

The CGI action scenes between Kong and Godzilla look like cut scenes from an Xbox game and it's distracting.

Give them a break. They're probably pretty busy carefully crafting their arguments on why American citizens who live in Washington D.C. and Puerto Rico shouldn't be able to vote for representation in the Senate while California should be split up into 5 states, the way the founders intended.

Bunny Colvin must have gotten his job back, because Hamsterdam is back in business. Baltimore will no longer prosecute drug possession, prostitution, low-level crimes (nbcnews.com)

Damn....you're good.

The founders of Evergreen Shipping Line must have been pretty fucking clairvoyant to predict Hillary's secret service name 25 years before Bill Clinton was elected president. A woman I went to college with has been going crazy with this on Facebook. I've posted some of her Trump stuff before in one of the other threads. She makes at least 15-20 pro-Trump/anti-Biden posts spread throughout any given day. Before he was elected, she used to post about her kid, her sister, her job, her bowling team, and other general things. Now it's just this Trump/Qanon stuff and only Trump and Qanon stuff. She's completely obsessed with it. Here's just a small sample of what I've seen her post in the past day about the Suez Canal cargo ship. And the comments from the above post..... And I don't even know what this last one is supposed to mean. It's just a video cutting to Donald Trump saying "17" a lot at a bunch of different times and places. I suppose that's some type of Q hint or symbol for something, but it didn't give any explanation.

I need to watch this entire clip. Lindsey's voice is quivering like he's about to burst into tears and cry on TV. What's got him so riled up?

Reminds me of this time I was once at the grocery store trying to get batteries then get home in time to watch Hondo. They only play it once every so many years, and my wife seemed almost like she was intentionally trying to ruin it. This little old lady in front of me decides to pay at the register with large jars of coins. Tells me she and her husband put a penny in every time they make love. Gross. Anyway, I ended up getting trapped in the store and missing Hondo.

Yeah, that stinks. But between the all black wheels on a 7-14 year old white Tahoe and the one guy's mullet/mohawk haircut, there's at least a few distinguishable things to keep an eye out for. Hope you end up catching them. Thieves suck.

Is that a late 2000s/early '10s model Chevy Tahoe?

He didn't direct it (producer/story credits), so I guess it's not really relevant to a thread about directors, but Devil is the most underrated MNS-involved movie IMO that is often forgotten. I didn't care for The Visit. Found footage type movies were already done to death by the time I got around to seeing it. Split was a good watch, but still not close to the Sixth Sense or Signs. I'm on team Tantric that Signs was a little better, but that may be because Sixth Sense's ending was spoiled by a friend before I saw it. Kevin Smith kind of had the same type of career for me. He probably peaked with his first film with Clerks. Then he made some good movies in Mallrats, Dogma, and Chasing Amy. Then there were some truly awful movies that followed with a few decent ones mixed in here and there.

There was a mini-Trump rally this Saturday in Rockwall with about 10-20 Trump supporters standing on the bridge over I-30 when you first cross the lake and enter into town around lunchtime. I can't imagine how bored you have to be to spend your Saturday waving the flags of a politician who lost the election 4 months ago and whose opponent was sworn in 2 months ago. This. Lewisville is working class and is minority-majority now if I'm not mistaken or will be soon. It has little in common with the other suburbs mentioned. I'm surprised at how much red they have.

This. We should have been past the weed issue years ago. I'm surprised after Washington and Colorado every state didn't fall like dominos and start legalizing in the first couple of elections after. We should be past the weed issue and talking about psychedelics, which like weed is also less harmful than alcohol and other hard drugs but has shown to have therapeutic benefits to many, including helping to alleviate addiction and depression if used in the proper setting.

Catholics and Mormons don't believe in Jesus? Their merch teams are terrible then.

I agree with all of the above. Are there time machines in this scenario? We're talking about 1988 vs 1971. Assuming it takes place in the "Friday Night Lights" universe (because nobody wants to see a bunch of high schoolers play football against babies), this is going to be a game of a bunch of 16-18-year-old young Odessa Permian kids who do nothing but practice, lift weights, and practice vs. a bunch of 33-35-year-old men who work at banks or have had kids and have physically given up from "Remember the Titans." Odessa wins easily. If time machines are involved and both are playing at the same age, Odessa Permian still wins because whatever offense they were running in Alexandria in 1971 is already irrelevant and the game has moved way past Denzel Washington.

I think you meant to say Donkeyduck.

That would've been a lot more believable if he said it with a confused look of constipation on his face while raising his pitch up to and down from pre-pubescent levels while pausing between sentences for dramatic effect. He also could have used a chyron saying something completely misleading.

Normal Democrats can't seem to win in Texas and don't even put up good candidates most years. If he's a Democrat and wins the primary, as @Beau Vine said, I will support him. Republicans love electing celebrities. Maybe it would cause a few to cross over that normally wouldn't.

Okay, I've been enjoying not paying too much attention to this guy since he left, but what is this referring to? Where he asked for them to find him 11,000 more votes? Didn't we already have that months ago or is there something new?

I worked for a company about 8 years ago where after you had been with them for a full year, you could put in a request to work from home if you desired to. They'd look at your performance and if you had proven to be reliable, it wasn't a problem. It was encouraged due to limited office space and they needed that space for new hires. Some chose to stay in office, but most worked remotely. I think that's the way to go, honestly. If your job responsibilities allow for it and the employee has proven themselves reliable, give people a simple choice. Companies could save a ton of money on downsizing their office space. My current company takes up the equivalent of two floors in our building now. We could cut that in half or more if they'd give people a choice to permanently work remotely after this ends.

I quit at the start of the season before Neegan, or I guess the season where he's introduced at the very end. I came back for his first full season because everyone talked about how great of a villain he was in the books and how it was going to be the show's peak. I don't think I even made it all the way through the Neegan season.
