hah apparently the character's creator had his working name as "Newbacca" in his first draft when the character was intro'd
I used to hang out on a message board with that dude. Also, the guy who did Rogue One was on it.

Are you satisfied?

Priest banging the drum was cool
Between that, Tomlin's "If you're a blinker, cut yer eyelids off!" line and Al Michaels with the deadpan "Well, that game plan is in the dumpster out back," this game was more entertaining than the other two games today before the ball had even been kicked off.
Expecting a low-scoring affair here between how good the Steelers' defense is and how bad their offense is.

There's a site called NakedWines.com.
If you sign up, you get a $100 voucher on your first purchase. Got a six-pack of wine for $40 that way, after tax and shipping.
Of course then you have to pay obscene amounts on "craft" wines beyond that, but for a one-timer, worth it. Use your burner email address.

Exactly, digging into the bullpen.
Eh, that's been true for a while. But that didn't keep, say, Ant-Man from being one of the better MCU characters, because it was well-executed.

There was nothing wrong with Jolie's acting; the character of Thena is wooden.

There's nothing random about their names. Their names are supposed to be similar to characters of epics and myths. The idea being that our myths were based on the Eternals themselves.
And Gilgamesh is one of the more obvious (The Epic of Gilgamesh.) Phastos is Hephaestus. Thena is Athena (duh). Sersi is Circe. And so on.

The problem Sprite had is that she could never even pretend to have a normal life, because once she failed to age for more than a couple of years, everyone got suspicious of her. At least the rest can pretend they're aging gracefully (or even use makeup). It's too obvious for Sprite.
Anyway, overall, I thought the movie was okay. It's not Thor: Ragnarok, but it's not Thor: The Dark World, either.

See, with last night's beatdown, it was two teams that belonged, but one was just playing outstanding football.
With these two teams... I mean, you knew the Eagles had little business being in the playoffs to begin with. Then to have to face Tom Brady's Bucs...
it's like watching Mike Tyson go into the ring against Michael J. Fox. You wonder why it even started, and you're ready for it to be over long before it ends.

Is kosher salt the same as this diamond crystal stuff? I use kosher for brining and when I want big grains.
i pretty much use Morton's Kosher Salt exclusively for any kind of cooking now
occasionally I use this stuff
sometimes I use sea salt that my wife gets when I have to have a finer grain

“selling out” is the dumbest critique of any artist. Specifically, it is an imaginary and arbitrary judgment of artists for monetizing their work. Every artist sells out on some level, the only difference is what level is acceptable to each individual fan. It’s an ever moving stupid target. Every single band in history has sold out to make the radio. If you’ve heard a song, then the artist has made creative concessions to the man to get on the radio. So you’re not actually mad at an artist selling out, your mad at the level of work. I can name a bunch of songs that were artists fully selling out but yet the songs were amazing, so they are accepted.
Tool beat you to the punch with this observation by 25 years.
