Barbie is a great movie and if it would of explored more of Ken’s pursuit of identity / the question of what truly is modern masculinity (vs him just trying to just replicate ‘the patriarchy’) it would have been the best movie of 2023. They do kind of touch on it but it’s fleeting.

I enjoy watching it. My young daughters love it. I watch it a lot because of the later.

I'm a big fan of Stephen A Smith. I mean, I don't tune in to his ridiculous morning shows but I respect him as a professional and think he's a good dude.

Topo Chico is the shit. It just tastes better and the cold glass bottle adds to the experience. 

It's the best sparkling water. Either the glass bottle or plastic - it doesn't matter.

You are wrong. He’s a schtick.

Gottlieb is cool, except when OSU needs  basketball coach and he uses his radio show to lobby for the job, dividing the fan base between people who think people who want to coach should go out and fucking coach, and idiots who think he should be given the job because he’s an alum. The latter is much larger and vocal than should ever be expected.

Goddamn, this is definitely the right thread.

I know he's a shtick. But that's his job. That's what ESPN pays him 8 figures to do.

Kind of a "hate the game not the player" situation.

This is right. Anyone who burns any calories hating SAS (or Skip Bayles) are falling for the obvious three card monte game they are playing. 

Find them entertaining or ignore them, but raging against them means you fell for it.

Give me 2 minutes

The night special is 16.90 for the first 4 hours.

Parking for 2 minutes negates the special and makes that >$2000/ hr for parking…thats astronomical. Even for New York.

unless you are doing louisiana stuff, green bell peppers serve no purpose.

Because I grew up in NM, with green chile served with almost every meal, I think bell peppers are completely useless. Chile peppers are supposed to have taste and heat. Bell peppers have neither.

Absolutely.  They have no flavor and no heat.  They're just there.

I guess stuffed green bell peppers can be good, but that's just because they absorb flavor from whatever you stuffed them with.

Red and yellow bells have a sweet flavor that works as a compliment to certain things.  They're solid on a veggie dip tray, and roasted red bells are pretty tasty.

I'm with you on green.

Agree on the heat, but the green bells I grow in my garden are pretty tasty imo, picked when either green or red. If I let them get red the birds will eat them, so usually picked green because I'm too lazy to cover them. 

Of course I also grow two or three different peppers with some heat.

Denver omelettes. Pizza. Szechuan chicken. Pepper steak. Philly steak sandwiches. Italians like to stuff them.

I’ve used them in my experiments with gallo pinto. (I’ve also used red.)

They're like celery.  They are useless on their own, but they impart flavor.

I don’t agree with that. I can eat celery raw. I know some people like raw bell peppers and will put them in a salad. I don’t really care for them raw. But I’ll eat raw celery. It’s good for snacking. My mom used to serve us little celery “boats” filled with peanut butter. I usually just dip celery in blue cheese dressing. I’ll make a plate of celery, broccoli, and carrots and go to town.

I'm a huge Kubrick fan but have resisted watching 2001: A Space Oddity for a long time because it's long and I'm not a sci-fi person. It took me weeks to get through the whole thing, I guess I'm too stupid to get it but it's not for me.

First time I saw it was that way, from Row 4, in Cinerama. The left and right sides of the screen were at the edge of my peripheral vision. The opening scene with the homo hairyus encountering the monolith, then the fight and the thrown bone morphing into the space vehicle revolving to Strauss' Zarathustra were... let's just say it was mind-bending. And that was just the beginning.
