  1. Holy shit. Pilot Knob (Austin, Texas) - Wikipedia Now I have to watch this Lone Star Austin 911 show. It sounds so insane it might be funny.
  2. Unfortunately for him, his G.I. Joe franchise never properly spun out of the Transformers films like Hasbro wanted, but it looks like they are trying again (maybe).
  3. The image they are projecting does not match up with the whole “Southern Plains” thing because a lot of people associate that with Oklahoma and Kansas and grassy plains, and this is rugged and dirty. My guess is they didn’t want to say “Llano Estacado” either because the fake cowboys who watch this shit would lose their fucking minds, even though that sounds mysterious and interesting to normal people.
  4. They call it a “window” in Russia.
  5. Ransom Canyon: where love, loss, and loyalty collide beneath the crimson mesas of Texas Hill Country. Starring Josh Duhamel and Minka Kelly, Ransom Canyon premieres April 17, only on Netflix.
  6. My 12 year-old loves them, he's started working through them after finishing the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy "trio". And bumping this thread, because I guess due to there being a new Hunger Games book, it seems like a shitload of middle-schoolers are now reading the Hunger Games. My kid read the first four without us realizing it and was asking for the 5th book and if he could watch the movies.
  7. My kids still have a shitload of games to work through on the original, and even though it's backwards-compatible, we'll probably wait. Would be a good Christmas present for the family. I used to be on top of stuff with consoles - I had the PS2, PS3, and original Wii all within two weeks of launch (Wii was just luck - it was on the top shelf at an HEB and I got a stool and snagged it). Now consoles are like me and streaming TV - there's no sense of urgency for anything because I'm still working through a backlog. If we had any major trips planned this summer, I would be tempted to try and fit it into the budget if it was available (then we'd have it and the first Switch so both kids would be good to go). With that said, Mario Kart 9....
  8. That's why college football is so popular.
  9. Every anesthesiologist is just waiting to crack. I've yet to meet one that was grounded in reality.
  10. Wilson Fisk: Best MCU villain?
  11. Encanto did fine given what was going on when it came out (plus top-grossing animated film of the year even though it came out late), and it sold a fuckload of toys and other merchandise and had massive streaming numbers, musical tours. My sister is a Disney fanatic and said Encanto stuff is at all the parks. Disney Corp. clearly loves Encanto. And one of the co-directors of Encanto was made Chief Creative Officer of Disney Animation Studios. But that and Moana are probably it, and those two won't eternally sell merchandise in the stores like Cars does.
  12. You either really like Ben Palmer or you don’t.
  13. I’m waiting for one set to the Immigrant Song by Zeppelin.
  14. I admit I didn’t see it passing up Mama Mia, but here we are https://www.guinnessworldrecords.com/world-records/774927-highest-grossing-movie-based-on-a-stage-show And now it’s finally streaming, so the rentals are probably over (who the fuck pays $20 to rent something for three days when it’ll be on streaming a few months later). Shit, Wicked Part 2 will do even better,
  15. Definitely smelled and tasted it.
  16. Wow, 1983 Megan was early 1980s hot.
  17. Yeah, can hear it pinging off of stuff, but seems small.
  18. Thunder or artillery practice at Mabry.
  19. I take comfort in the fact that Bum Phillips died peacefully surrounded by friends and family while Bud Adams died alone, and his body was only discovered after somebody finally called the cops to do a wellness check.
  20. I did after I watched the recent SNL movie as well.
