    I'm down for it evolving into a Pat Riley series if it somehow went that way - I never really cared about Riley when I watched the NBA - he was coaching teams that I didn't root for, but yeah, Brody's portrayal is making me look up Riley stories.

    Beneath that GQ exterior Riley was a killer and so were his teams. Broke my spirit as a Mavs fan in the 80s

  2. Man such a case of blue balls on this. You have to resolve the BTK story. 

    Would hope either Fincher gets religion with someone like HBO or at least agrees to have someone else take it over with the same cast. 

    And fuck Netflix. Not paying 20 a month to watch Korean movies and cooking shows. I will let it sit for six months and see what two shows they have added that are worth shit.

    I can't imagine the decision to not have or utilize those detectors is cost related. The RR loses millions per hour when a line is closed. The cost benefit analysis is so one-sided I can't fathom anyone being that stupid as to discontinue/not implement the devices due to their price tag.

    SWA just proved that kind of stuff is cost related. Wall St is driven by quarterly earnings. A lot of C-Suite people think nothing bad will ever happen and plan accordingly. Goes great until it doesn't.

    Crazy how insecure and worried about his future Koepka was. These guys have the same worries all of us do.

    that part has surprised me the most. He always played like the biggest swinging dick out there and now its just gone? 

    i mean for us hackers, sure. But this guy?

    Damn shame that Vince Guaraldi didn't live long enough to see his music become probably the most iconic Christmas music of my lifetime. That album is just a perfectly beautiful jazz/holiday record.

    The instrumental "Christmas Time is Here" is just gorgeous. Just a touch of melancholy to it. 

    The sponsors were going to pull the plug on any music for that show and somehow it didn't happen. Small miracles.

    Partial to 12 O'Clock High. The prospects for making it through your tour were really slim in the early days of the Mighty Eighth. 

    And as much of a pussy as John Wayne was, Jimmy Stewart was a Grade A badass. Right in the middle of it all.

  7. I just love all this. Been having to field client questions about crypto for years and we told them it isn't our thing. 

    Always have felt its a greater fool theory deal. Yes, like beanie babies. Problem is when the last fools in the chain get left holding a bag of dogshit there aren't many fools left. 

    BTC will probably survive because how else can criminals launder money with no rules in place? 

    At least there aren't many left to tell me its money, a store of value, or an inflation hedge anymore. Thats all bullshit. 

    But hey, if youre long it, and you like it, go for it. Just dont cry on anyones shoulder when all that shit goes to money heaven.

    As seedy as his business was, it seems like he shoulda been capped by now.

    Its been a week. Give it time. 

    Saylor is my favorite knucklehead. How about when MSTR went from 1400/share to 90 in six months back in 2000 after a bunch of accounting fraud? And yet there he is, no shame at all, flogging for crypto. 

    Amazing that guy hasn't seen the inside of a jail cell.

    35 years ago today - Black Monday a true market meltdown, it was the end of the financial system if the SEC, Fed and others didn't step up and make changes. Everyone knows that the markets fell over 500 points or 20%, but it was the commodity/futures markets that almost didn't open on Tuesday was where the real crisis was eventually averted. And there was no internet, so I heard it driving from my office in Greenway Plaza downtown for a lunch. 

    In today's market that would be a one day decline of  6,000+ points in the Dow - there are no memes to properly reflect that 

    I was a young punk so thankfully didn't have any money to lose but imagine that now in our nonstop media world. The 2008 crash was bad enough but at least that was slow motion relatively. 

     

  10. Branagh is just stellar in this film as he is in everything. I have watched it a couple of times and it is so chilling to see them discussing the entire process like they are building pickup trucks. Hard to believe all of this was such recent history. 

    I would guess most of the actors had a lot of stage training because there were some long complicated dialogue scenes. I dont recall a lot of scene cutting but I need to see it again.
