Searching for a sane take. Also a football fan. Yes, I realize those two things are usually at odds.

That movie did a great job of making Diaz and Cusak look like sad sacks. Kudos to hair and makeup and costume, but also has to come down to the actor to allow it, right?

Is Will writing a new book every six months now? Nearly Steven King pace?

Its can't be any other Jeffrey, really. So little time to make an impression and he nailed it. Er, bolted it.

Spencer, it’s Mike LaFleur mentioned using the machine. His brother Matt was never on that staff.

When we started Defector, we set out to make a sustainable business out of providing people things to read during their workday. Thanks to the efforts of my colleagues and the support of our subscribers, we have achieved that goal. It didn’t even take that long to find ourselves standing on solid ground. Within a year, it was clear this was going to workβ€”we would write blogs intended to entertain, inform, clarify and challenge, and people would pay us a few bucks a month to read them. The simplicity of all this has had something of a deprogramming effect on me. I got into this business during the hothouse days of the 2010s, when it was taken for granted that the true purpose of every media company was to achieve a nine-figure valuation. The collapse of that industry demanded a new way of thinking about what a media company can and should be, and my hope is that Defector has provided a useful example of just one way of doing things.

Yeah, it was McGuire’s bit. There were others but not as funny as these two.

Wasn’t his hands. Their numbers in the WR room were big. Less so in CB room. Of course, the moment they commit (after spring experiment) the entire WR room winds up in the ICU.

My memory is refusing to confirm that Jose Uribe and Scott Sanderson were active at the same time, no matter what baseball reference is claiming.

Agree. It also got slammed for failing to be some sort of answer or evolutionary step to Star Wars to which it was always compared. It was an entirely different movie with older characters. Few reviewers of the time stopped to consider it from that perspective.

And I don’t think the fact that George agreeing with losing the scene detracts from the point that suggesting background details rather than explicating them would have continued to work. A lot of authors later novels could use sharper editing.

Source on her suggesting them? That they were in the shooting script and shot suggests a change of mind on George’s part at least. And still suggests they found a better paced movie in the edit. I have read there were concerns that the early droid focus would cause the audience to lose interest.

The new editors hired after John Jympson (the original editor) was let go left a lot of exposition (early intro to Biggs Darklighter) on the floor just as a way to reinforce your point that suggesting the wider world was all you needed.

Nick Saban just asked the nation to stop talking about where S Sanders will be drafted while Saban is being paid to talk about where players are being drafted.

Eventually the list of tragedies needing to be mentioned in lieu of prevented will have to be its own show before the game or the coin toss will not start before 9 PM eastern. Agree or disagree?
