  1. I've been powering through in between other shows.  It's a lot of fun.  A lot of the actors are horrible (although many are good) and outside the main guy, I can't recall anyone being in anything else that I've seen.  It took me until the episode in season one where they go pick up the coffin in the small old west town that when the Asian actors speak English with no accent, they are speaking Chinese, then whenever they interact with a white person (other than Ah San and Mai Ling, given they knew English already), they speak in broken English.  It's a choice.  But this show is too shallow for subtitles so I appreciate it.  

    lol the speaking part I figured out pretty early and then had to do a deep dive to see if I was imagining it or not. Very Hunt for Red October-esque

    Much like Shogun in FX, the Japanese is subtitled and the “Portuguese” being spoken is actually in English.
  2. Didn't realize Six Feet Under was streaming. Re-watched the pilot this past weekend. Some really outstanding acting and some of Alan Ball's best work.
     
     

    Maybe the best series finale of all time. 


    Yeah when they are holding each other and realize that maybe… 6 feet ain’t so far down?

  3. Thanks for info on records!

    I had a ton and aunt had a honkytonk bar in Hutchins with the old juke box.

    Never knew that but always had both size records growing up.

    I just always knew I had to keep track of the plastic disc or else I was screwed. My dad and sisters always had the full size records but I would buy the singles since I was much younger and mowing money didn’t go as far!

  4. Looks like 3 of his firearms ended up in Canada, a few were found during traffic stops where weed was present.

    So on 923, he could only be charged once for selling for profit, a fine and no more than 5 years. In my 10+ years I’ve never seen one go to trial like this.


    Potentially 1 felon was found with one to three of his glocks. I’m guessing this is the straw purchases they are alleging.

    Under 922 he could be charged for each individual straw purchase if found guilty.


    I’d imagine this is gonna get dragged out pretty thoroughly on Reddit

  5. Everything I’ve heard so far was they were looking into his private sales. I’m assuming some agent posted on one of his sales about wanting something and he probably took the bait.

    The FOIA on this is gonna be real interesting.

    No knock and talks, just a pre-dawn raid on someone they know has firearms and also know he works in a gun free zone

    Heh ok… this is easy. The only one in that list that didn’t actually own in record, cassette or CD form… was echo and the bunnymen. Did not care for them, my older sister did but that was one that never interested me.

    Actually as I think about it I don’t think I had a Wham! album… I had George Michael’s solo stuff.

    Some of them might have also be 7” singles records…

    Random question: why did the 7” records have that big hole that you needed the adapter for to play on the turntable
  7. Manhunt

    Aftermath of the Lincoln assassination.

    Good to very good 2 episodes in

    This, wife and I watched 2 episodes last night. After finishing Masters of the air.

    Funny to be cheering to him as Crosby and then see him portray JW Booth.

    Also I didn’t even recognize Dallas’ own Glenn Morshower as VP Andrew Johnson.

    Show is pretty solid so far
  8. Yeah seems like Feb went haywire on individual form 4 approvals.

    Cant imagine it’ll last much longer. Just another NFA division month to “fix” their average wait so they stay well under 365 day waits

  9. It was good show especially if you fast forward every scene with the mayor’s wife or her sister in it. They were each an absolute beating. Found myself rooting for Mayor during fight scene. 

    We are in the middle of S2, the sister is killing us!!! My wife and I both Wanna slap her hard
  10. lol and the ref blows his whistle right as Madrid crosses the ball into the box and scores.

    Wow that was amazing, Madrid gets a red after the final whistle. They were livid he blew the whistle as the cross was coming in


    Bellingham gets the red, he scored what woulda been the game winner

  11. Madrid decided to dingdong their way to a 0-2 deficit and have now tied it on 2 goals by Vini Jr who suffered some heavy racism at the Mestalla last year, he’s egging the crowd on today.

  12. Rayo v. Cadiz looking Like they're playing in Green Bay.

  13. Warrior

    It was apparently a Cinemax show that HBO picked up for its 3 rd season. On Netflix now.

    Wife and I are started S2 this week.

    Pretty decent little show about the Chinese immigration to 19th century San Francisco and the Chinese Tongs.

    I guess it used the original Bruce Lee ideas pre-Kung Fu show.

    It’s amusing how they use Chinese w/ subtitles, English between the Chinese people and then when a Chinese person speaks English to an American they have a heavy “accent”.
