My dad would occasionally rent me the Intellivision from a video rental store. Was a big weekend when that happened.

Serene pool lounging is the bread for this tension sandwich. Not sure I’ve ever been so tense throughout a movie.

Used to be the ‘Olympic Saddledome’ and that was a much better identity. It’s really a gorgeous building and I’ll be sad to see it go.

In my youth I used to think he and his ilk were just marks. But sadly I’ve realized they’re into it.

It’s wild how bad ESPN hockey is, along with hockey rights in general. Outside of constant sign-in issues, ESPN app has spoilers everywhere. Choosing a live game doesn’t offer ‘start from beginning’ option so you have to mute and cover top half of screen and scroll back. And then the blackouts. Ugh

Bilge Ebiri: “Why Terrence Malick Is the Most Influential Director” Bilge Ebiri explores filmmaker Terrence Malick’s vision of grace and his far-ranging influence on American cinema.

A good essay on the influence of Malick, a favourite in our household. yalereview.org/article/bilg...

Two stick out.

1) Requiem for a Dream at the Cedar Lee in Cleveland. My friends came out horrified but I was exhilarated watching it.

2) Forrest Gump at Bankers Hall theatres in Calgary. Me and 2 friends snuck in. It was packed. On our way out, we saw 3 single chairs placed in the aisle. Sorry!

You can bet this will be the last time the President’s entourage allows this. I remember a similar own in Obama’s first term when he took direct questions from house members, exposing them while publicizing his communication skills. The MoC didn’t open themselves to a similar venue again.

And gosh, she couldn’t possibly be an individual who has her own unique appeal and charisma, right? We must classify her under a category of a New Yorker because something something grumble

People need to realize the sad truth about Schumer et al. Similar to the Usha Vance narrative, you gotta stop pretending they’re unfortunate victims of the circumstance… they’re actually into it.

Agree. I remember the annual O’Reilly ‘War on Christmas’ stuff. He ranted for years but it never took because people could passively walk anywhere in their town/city and see it was blatantly untrue. Conversely, not everyone is traveling to Chicago every week to be informed about this new narrative.

Wouldn’t be surprised if they didn’t bother collecting paintings / portraits / historic artifacts etc (if any) prior to the demo.

His agent must know there is another ‘hypothetical’ offer out there.

Man I hated having to deal with Katrina the Shepherdess. So much time trying to get her attributes up because all the other companions were so advanced by the time she joined the party.

Definitely. Helps broaden the base and supports different communities to communicate more clearly in their native language while being assured the rest of us don’t meet friction in translating their message.

Regarding the comment about our center backs helping appraise opposing strikers, I think the story is that Liverpool’s back line supported the Nunez transfer after playing against him in their matches versus Benfica.

Just hope our center backs are better appraisers of talent!

The hum of that machine as you prepare for the next attempt…

Old school electroporator. If you didn’t get the salt out of the solutions then the arcing was terrifying and front of mind for every successive attempt.

Simit >>> bagels. Empirically proven.

Yeah. It’s inherently speculation (and most profitable to RH) when it’s not yet ‘news.’ When it becomes news, its utility to RH’s business is near zero.

We’ve long blamed gretzky’s wife all the way back to The Trade. Dunno about Jenner.

Watching the Twilight Zone’s Button, Button episode should be mandatory for human kind (or other similar story). Seared itself into my brain as a kid.

Generally speaking, companies keep their earnings dates relatively consistent over time. No conspiracies are necessary but knowingly planning around future earnings events is not too difficult.

The way the game has been going, I thought they were going to find a reason to disallow that goal because Havertz something something …

Evil Does Not Exist (2023) Takumi and his daughter Hana live in Mizubiki Village, close to Tokyo. One day, the village inhabitants become aware of a plan to build a camping site near Takumi's house offering city residents a com...

Evil Does Not Exist was rather phenomenal. 4/5.

I get this, but at the same time why should one team be able to avail itself of the rules and not the other? Getting in the zone is the obligatory step to creating a long shift to tire the defenders and cause mistakes. Getting in the zone for free is an advantage.

Also absurd is the concept that we figured out all the contours of ‘iq’ so many years ago and distilled it down to just a few questions. Deserves to be in the trash heap of history.

The nice thing about a Walkman was that you could agonize over the exact model because picking a specific one out was an expression of your personality. Variety was good.

forgive and forget, but "did you support the iraq war" remains an almost perfect predictor of "are you an asshole over 20 years later"
