  1. Past hour
  2. Kind of tying into that, I'm insanely curious where Maxwell Lord will come into play, since Morrison kind of ignored him (but then again some of the characters were pre-Morrison). I know it was Gunn's brother playing him, but at the same time it was made quite clear that Lord is important to the new Superman universe. As I said, I feel like I know what Snyder was trying to do - maybe a little less about telling major stories and more about exploring what made them tick, in particular, Batman, although Gunn actually showed us what made his Superman tick with a lot less screentime. I never got the feeling that Snyder really gave a shit about his villains - they were there to lay bare what made Batman, etc. who they are. Gunn gave us a villain that had more of an arc and more character development/explanation than all of Snyder's CGI mess combined. I can barely remember some of the villains in the Snyderverse. And I do not believe in a million years that Gunn would have allowed his Superman to let his dad die right in front of him during a fucking tornado, but Snyder had to have that because his Superman had to internally be a hot mess. Warner Brothers just wanted a DCEU money train, and maybe they thought they'd pull in those who didn't care for the MCU as being too light/kid-friendly. I saw an interview where he talked about how he knew exactly what tone he was going for, how he didn't want to start the movie (with an origin story) and where he wanted the movie to end (with it being clear that a Justice League was coming) and said it felt easier to write. He said something to the effect that the movie was the foundation for his universe and the one movie would take the place of the pre-Avengers solo movies, and he did it.
  3. It's so great that he made it to the Back to the Beginning show for a well deserved victory lap and to bask in the adulation of both musicians he inspired and the fans that have adored him for decades. I don't know if I've heard another performer thank the fans over and over in live shows and express his appreciation as much as Ozzy. He bounced back from rock bottom more than once and extended his career longer than anyone would have thought 45 years ago. RIP to the one and only Prince of Darkness ( who turned into a doting teddy bear of a grandpa and dog lover)
  4. "This was treason. This was every word you can think of. They tried to steal the election. They tried to obfuscate the election. They did things that nobody's ever even imagined, even in other countries," Trump said in the Oval Office Tuesday.
  5. I didn't hate the Snyderverse and I actually thought the Snyder cut of Justice League turned it into a solid, coherent, entertaining movie. It just wasn't very FUN. And MoS and BvS weren't very fun. Superman 1978 was fun. Batman 1989 was fun. And this new Superman movie is fun. I'm really excited to see what Gunn and the DC crew can do with a new DCU. I want to see Batman in this world, with Gunn's vision. I already love what I've seen of Green Lantern and Mr. Terrific. I want to see where else he can take us.
  6. It's more about the depth of interaction than it is the proximity. I can have a heated argument with dozens of you assholes but it is founded in actual perspective on both/all sides and the debate is real. The average social media interaction is little more than "go bro" or "you suck", and combined with a lack of face-to-face time those people become islands who are incredibly easy to persuade and who are immune to logical counterpoint.
  7. Question- how do the donors funding TexasOne feel about this? I gather that a few guys have been making most of the contributions? I don’t think we should take their generosity for granted. Were they counting on the House settlement picking up a big part of the slack for them, to allow a transition away from big annual donations? I, of course, don’t k ow shit about fuck, but I kind of think the best long term move for Texas is to use Bellmont fundraising from rank and file to fund TexasOne.
  8. Butt fun for a lesbian couple?

    Ozzy has passed.

    I have seen this before but obviously it’s even more poignant today. Farewell to the Prince of Darkness. Maybe someday we will get a concert in the next life. RIP. 🥀 🎸🎸🎸🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
  10. fuckin McCullers
  11. I must've missed it, but what is he claiming Obama did that was treasonous?
  12. Very good summation of the whole thing. Nice job.

    Ozzy has passed.

    RIP.
  14. Sooners Illustrated is now posting their position previews. I am a fan of their content creators from the perspective that they're thoughtful and thorough on the subject matter. Spoilered below is the QB preview, which is probably overdone, but whatever, it's July.
  15. Poulsbo gets you close to Port Townsend, Sequim and Vancouver Island as well. Plus the whole Olympic National Park thing.
  16. The beauty of that show is that Jeff's ego goes for an hour -- "let me explain this to you" -- and then Ed sucks Jeffcock for another hour.
  17. Hard to tell. Sarah Larchmont brings the heat
  18. I’m relieved that neither Calicut nor Ojo wound up at Texas.
  19. Worse options than that? What, is your Abba 8-track cassette busted or something?
  20. @Beau Vine, don't think there hasn't been an unsent PM in my drafts with your name on it for a long time now. But thanks, now when I hit send it won't look like I'm stalking.
  21. So I logged on to the website and it said the process has been completed and I would get an email. Not sure why the website could not tell me so…….…you’re saying there is a chance. Still no email as of 5PM. Not holding my breath.
  22. The best part about that dotard rant was the aside where he shit on Obama and Biden’s interior design of the Oval Office and how much better it looks now.
  23. Yep, sucked for Ben to not get the win, but major props to all of them being able to stay out front. I liked Visma's tactics today, and they executed fairly well. Not getting anything from Yates, hurt, but it likely would not have mattered.
