We signed back up for Netflix to watch the final season of Stranger Things with our kids. I had been wanting to see this movie after watching the awesome trailer. I read a great book last year, probably my favorite of the year, about this exact scenario. It was titled Nuclear War: A Scenario. If you want to see what the ending of this movie was then you should read that book. It is a minute by minute account of what would happen if North Korea fired off rogue nukes at us. I enjoyed this movie until the ending. What a massive cop out. I watched a video where the screenwriter said they didn't want to let the audience off the hook with an ending where they show what happens or who was behind it. It was designed to "start a discussion about living in a world with nuclear weapons". It would've been a lot more effective if they had shown the aftermath. That is how you start a discussion. Show the audience that any nuclear war ends the planet as we know it. The book does a very effective job of that. It shows how bleak it gets if any nukes go off because it never stops at one or two. It was very disappointing after all that build up, they don't give the audience anything. It's not like you're leaving a theater to have a talk in the car on the way home. Instead, you turn off this movie and move on to the next Netflix show or movie to binge. You built all that up with fairly precise scenarios of what would happen if we saw an incoming nuke to then short change the viewer on how horrific it would then become. I don't think any movie studio would allow that ending if this was a theatrical release. This isn't the end of a book like No Country for Old Men. This was a narrative choice by the screenwriter and director and it was a terrible choice.
Football isn't basketball. Only 12 games in the regular season - only teams that have shown something serious should have a shot. 24 teams getting in is fucking ridiculous.
Remember how all the Trumpists constantly freak out about "THA DEEP STATE!!!!"? I remember. Add it to the pile of shit they were never actually concerned about, and are truly just fine with, so long as their Orange God is doing it. They have no principles. None. Not a single one. Other than "whatever the Orange God wills." They are a demon-worshipping cult of hate and pain. And they are going to bring around the end of civilization and possibly humanity. Yay.
The lack of trump signs, flags, and shit is not from any regret or recognition of fault. They, the hard core magats, see the political reality heading into the midterms and think that they are going to have to take violent action to "keep America on the right track" or some similar shit. They don't want to be obvious suspects when the shit that they expect, and want to participate in, starts.
Sark is probably smart enough to keep Flood around as the fall guy if the line sucks again next year. If you do both O and D in the same year you have wasted a bullet. I also found Sark's comment about having more time to devote to the O with Muschamp coming. He's basically admitting that he has to babysit his OLine coach.
