    Interestingly, Sam was originally supposed to be the main character of the show and they offered that role to Bradley Whitford. He turned it down because he wanted to play Josh Lyman, so then the Sam role went to Lowe.

    Who in the world is that directed at?

    He replied to a tweet specifically saying it wasn’t Corby. I wonder if it’s guys on the Fan?

    So passionate. It was a takeoff on Seattle Slew and Mystic Dan’s win at the Kentucky Derby and it was really good.  So much fun.

    Well don’t I feel like a horse’s ass.

    I honestly don’t know if some of you people are retarted or north suburbanites who have never been in our town.

    What the fuck are you talking about? Dan was a massive talent and very funny. The bit was funny. Gordon is a massive talent and pretty much the only funny and good part left of the ticket I’ve known for 25 years of living in Dallas.

    Is your position that middays and the current version of the hardline are hilarious and awesome?

  4. The front window ticket sales people are just obsolete. I assume everyone gets advanced tickets and reserved seats these days, so you really only need one or two people to scan phones on the way in. I assume they have trouble keeping enough staff on hand to handle the concessions and cleaning though, that seems like a shit job. 

  5. It’s 11:45 on Friday night. I just finished watching the Stars lose and the Mavs win. It’s been a long week and I’ve got a nice little buzz going. Perfect time to go collapse into my comfortable bed and relax until the kids wake up. Marissa has apparently decided now is the right time to be vacuuming the master bedroom.

    When turning, you are required to turn into the lane nearest to your turn, then you can make legal lane changes to get into the lane you want to be in.  Yielding traffic still does have to yield to vehicles making legal lane changes though.  If while turning, you cross over multiple lanes without making legal lane changes, then you have entered the roadway illegally.  Also, rule # 1 of the Texas motor vehicle code or whatever they call it, is that you are required to operate your vehicle in a safe manner.  Looking at the picture, I don't see how you can make legal lane changes or operate your vehicle safely in even moderate traffic at that intersection for the traffic turning left there.

    That is for a right turn, not a left turn. There is a specific code section and traffic violation for a wide right turn that is similar to the language you used. There is no such section specifying the same rules for a left hand turn.

    Great recommendation for a shit hole of a town. The fried chicken, okra and mashed potatoes and gravy were a welcome and delicious surprise.

    Tenet is dogshit wrapped in catshit. You can't even defend it without prefacing that you didn't know what in the fuck was happening either. 

    Meh. Agree to disagree. I was entertained and visually impressed with the movie making. Perhaps I have a low bar. 

  9. Just saw what I think is the first reference to Newman. S2 E7 The Revenge. Never remembered this I guess. George is quitting and trying to unquit his job. Jerry lost $1500 at the laundromat (but not really) and Kramer is talking about Newman, who lives in the building, threatening to jump and kill himself. 
    They yell out the window to each other and it is clearly not Wayne Knight. A little thing I never noticed before.

    People are worried this is the last season, but it’s insane how well it’s doing - it’s Disney’s top streaming show, and even though the episodes are only 8-minutes long, it’s like the second most streamed show.  It’s going to be a while before we get new episodes though.

    Any chance you can quote and paste the article for those of us that don’t have a Bloomberg account?

    They couldn’t take the time to storm the ship as there would be resistance and time for the nutters to destroy the computers/drives,

    The nano fibers were spaced enough that they would kill the humans but not destroy everything, and would have them in a panic and there’d be nothing to resist and little to no time to respond, given how fast it was.

     

    Spoiler

    I never really understood the strategy there. They didn’t know exactly what they were looking for or where it was. Just documented back ups of all the conversations so far, so presumably in a computer or server(s). Their plan with the nanofibers could have easily destroyed what they were looking for but for blind luck.

    Guys in the OG Dalton literally ripped a guy's heart out of his chest using only his bare hands. Stop trying to be Roger Ebert. 

    I hate to be this guy, but you’re thinking of Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom. Dalton ripped the guys throat out. 
     

    Much more realistic.
