  1. man this was enjoyable! saw it in our Harkins CineXL theater, sound was incredible. callbacks to all four of the first films. i also loved how they kept the look and sounds of the originals, even the low camera angles from the first. i'd put it a solid third in the franchise.
  2. speaking of Texas...everybody has an anecdote, here's mine... i have spent time with three visiting Texas voters within the last three weeks, all boomers (including my dad), all staunch Republicans/'conservatives', all undoubtedly voted Trump in 2016, likely in 2020... I don't think any of them will vote for Harris (well...maybe the wife will, i got a slight sense of bucking her husband's opinion this time)...but all three expressly said they ain't voting Trump this time.
  3. i mean that's pretty much what happened to Biden, with old age befuddlism as the cherry on top. he even said it later that night at Waffle House - 'it's hard to debate a liar!'
  4. well, Macklemore told us ^that, cocaine, and being a Hulk Hogan fan is the real common man of America, so he's got that going for him.
  5. i hope Alex Jones and MTG are watching. fuckers.
  6. he's the only cabinet member speaking at the DNC, at least in prime time, which is excellent. i keep thinking about Obama in 2004...i am hopeful Pete's future similarly tracks bc this country needs him. i want to see/hear from him for years to come!
  7. or this one
  8. Duke's had a busy week... children's dramamine fixed the mountain road carsick problem 😄 first boat ride "i'm king of the world!" RMNP
  9. watching the closing ceremonies with my French house guest* has been awesome, getting some insight and perspective from the French pov. she's pretty pleased with France's performance and very proud of Paris. 🇫🇷 (*exchange student from 2017-18, we visited her in France in May, she had to spend last week in College Station for work 😝 poor thing lol... so she came to Denver for a pallette-cleanser visit after 😄)
  10. that's Kyle Clark, local NBC news anchor in Denver. i posted about him elsewhere last week when he was dunking on Jenna Ellis for 'flipping faster than an Olympic gymnast' 😆 i've become a big fan 😁
  11. that's the thing...this stuff can be spectacular and highly entertaining! these acts aren't even close. i've watched lots of So You Think You Can Dance and World of Dance...the dancers on there are infinitely better than this crap 😝 i mean this would be better than 'artistic swimming' but we're not even on the same ballpark lol maybe nobody took it seriously this year.
  12. i cannot believe this is an olympic event.
  13. now we know why his plane had 'mechanical issues'.
  14. i dunno, i kinda liked the 'yeehaw, fuck the law!' sign-off lol
  15. Oryx and Crake is like any Atwood novel...heavy on the dystopia, a difficult read, a weird sex angle... like McCarthy, she's one of my favorite authors and i've read just about everything she's written but she always leaves me feeling uncomfortable and disturbed. i love it lol. if an elementary school kid is managing to read that, they have far surpassed their peers and should be in GT level classes encouraging them to read anything/everything.
  16. gotdamn he is a monstrous asshole. i really cannot adequately express how relieved i am he is no longer the leader of my state. fucking ghoul.
  17. been busy all day and just finished watching the evening recast of everything... sooo...the USA is pretty good at this track and field stuff lol. damn.
