  1. That's not very American of them. Thats a black eye for popeyes It was particularly irritating for me that day because they were already out of Ranch so my first two requests were no-gos. On top of that they had only large soda cups/lids available. Seems like places would be more conciliatory in such a situation. But they gave zero fucks.I don't think I'm going to go back to that location.
  2. They don't offer gravy as a dipping sauce anymore - just the pre-packaged sauces. I asked for the gravy they use on the potatoes and they wouldn't give me that either. "It costs money," they told me.
  3. Gott's Roadside is good for packing in food ahead of time (I think there's one in Napa and another further up-valley in St. Helena). We've also hit up the Fremont Diner on the way over to Sonoma.
  4. That was my first thought, too... "a less fucked up Kids." Nothing ever needs to be as fucked up as Kids. Jesus, that fucking movie.
  5. I liked Rutherford Grill just fine, but we just had appetizers (also had locals tell us that it was essentially the same thing as Houston's). Mustard's didn't do a whole lot for me, unfortunately . I think Bottega, Bistro Jeanty, and Redd have probably been my favorite meals in the area. The wife really wants to hit Girl and the Fig in Sonoma next trip, and we've been meaning to get up to Cook in St. Helena for a few years and just haven't made it.
  6. So is this in the same universe as the Kong: Skull Island movie from a few years ago? I liked that one much more than I anticipated I would.

    I've been doing a similar rewatch... not strictly office, but I FF at least through Betty scenes. Started with "Shut the Door, Have a Seat..." and am halfway through S5. You could compile a book full of the best lines from this show (in fact, I own one), and while Roger's are often the creme de la creme, I'm not sure it gets any better than...
  8. I would say it wasn't what I expected but I wasn't really expecting anything. Some buddies and I that did inside sales/call center work out of college went to see it because we thought it would be some kind of Office Space-esque comedy with that as a set piece instead of SW/coding. It definitely had some Judge-level moments. Weird as fuck but highly entertaining and, yes, thought-provoking, without being overly preachy. Semi-related: does anyone play a better douchebag right now than Arnie Hammer?

    Not letting me now. Can't figure out how to delete either. It's really not a huge spoiler. On a scale of "Emperor dies at the end of ROTJ" to "No, I am your father," it's a "Porkins doesn't survive the death star assault." But if a mod wants to delete it, be my guest.

    So, I guess Bert Cooper died 49 years ago today.
  11. I forgot about Born to Lose. Saw them quite a few times. And while I only saw ATA once I knew the bassist fairly well because he was roommates with the Maxwell guys for several years and was in a band with them, pre-Cruiserweight, called Red Boxing.
  12. Sorry to Bother You Wow. Was NOT what I expected. Some friends and I that "grew up" in the Sunset Direct cold calling game back in the early 2000s went to check it out because we figured a movie about a telemarketer would hit the nostalgia vein. Eh, it sort of did. And then it swerved. Hard. I suspect it'll get a lot of comparisons to Get Out, fair or not, though it echoed some of the same themes Mike Judge touched on in both Office Space and Idiocracy. Regardless it was entertaining and at times, thought-provoking.
  13. WIfe and I are going in a few weeks to see the Foos and I booked the Moxy for $250/per. It looks new and no-frills, but I don't need a lot of extra amenities. It's near the river. Marriott property.
  14. I haven't bought a DVD since The Dark Knight. I used to buy 2-3 movies a month.
  15. I just looked through my IMDB ratings and I haven't seen a true comedy in the last 5 years except for Office Christmas Party, and I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that wasn't the funniest one made. ETA... was wrong, I saw This is the End. Still... Guess I need to see more recent comedies.
  16. Per Sepinwall it doesn't stream on HBO Go because HBO doesn't actually own the rights.
  17. Yogi's a good friend of mine. He was getting married and just wanted to get a real job and stop touring. They did a show at Mohawk about 2-3 years ago with both Yogi and Dave. CW's original bassist was Craig Tweedy from the Impossibles.
  18. Probably wasn't everyone's cup of tea and even I didn't like all of their songs, but they did well for themselves for a solid decade.I'm not seeing many bands on this thread that I would call "great." YMMV.
  19. The Impossibles. Maybe Vallejo? David Garza? I never much liked a lot of the big ones like The Scabs or Soulhat. Most of the stuff I was into was shortly after college and mainly in the pop-punk scene... Cruiserweight, Dynamite Boy, Ritalin Kids, Victory Drive, Recover, and a handful of other bands whose names I cannot remember 15-ish years later. I was friends with the Cruiserweight clan and thus friends-in-law with most of the members of said bands.
  20. Kind of like Jamaal Charles was a "pretty good" RB.
  21. Only Hulu.
  22. FYI, for as you're catching up, I highly recommend pausing after each ep and spending some time on Lostpedia (maybe check our Sepinwall's reviews, too). It won't give you the full experience that Bobby Light mentioned, but you can capture part of it.
