  1. Baena was born in Miami on June 29, 1977. He graduated from New York University Film School and headed to Los Angeles to begin a career in film. He landed a job as a production assistant for Robert Zemeckis and worked on several of his films before landing a gig as an assistant editor for Russell. Baena’s breakthrough came when he co-wrote I Heart Huckabees (2004) alongside director David O. Russell. The film, nominated for the Gotham Award for best feature, followed two “existential detectives” who strive to solve the meaning of a series of strange coincidences. He made his directorial debut in Life After Beth (2014), which he wrote as well. It starred Plaza as the title character and premiered at the Sundance Film Festival that year, when it was nominated for the Grand Jury Prize and eventually released in theaters by A24. His next project, Joshy (2016), starring Thomas Middleditch, also bowed at Sundance with a Grand Jury nom before being released by Lionsgate. Baena also wrote and directed the Plaza-starring The Little Hours (2017), nominated for the audience award at the Edinburgh International Film Festival, and co-wrote, directed and produced Horse Girl (2020), which starred Dave Franco and frequent collaborator Allison Brie. Both those films debuted at Sundance as well. In addition to Plaza, survivors include his mother, Barbara Stern, and stepfather, Roger Stern; father Scott and stepmother Michele Baena; brother Brad Baena; stepsister Bianca Gabay; and stepbrother Jed Fluxman.
  2. Sad. https://988lifeline.org/
  3. He keeps that dome pretty shiny as it is. After the Mayo you'll be able to see him from space.
  4. Any guesses on the celebrity mascot? I'm thinking Jaleel White.
  5. I don't think they're well known enough to go with Duke's, and Duke's Assorted Condiments Bowl doesn't exactly roll off the tongue
  6. Yep. I stand corrected. Looked into it a little and there was a dude named Morris Stroud who made a name for himself in the 70's doing it, leading to a rule change. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morris_Stroud#:~:text=Later rule changes led to,for a palpably unfair act".
  7. Reminds me of this little Diddy.
  8. Yep. But he can also return it if he can catch it.
  9. This broadcast is fun. These dudes aren't taking it too seriously- just having a good time. And the producer keeps feeding them gross mayo concoctions. Play by play guy legit just puked I think.
  10. Fucking Jimmy did this on purpose!!!!!1
  11. Do we know what kind of leave of absence she was requesting? I find it hard to imagine that they were telling her she'd be fired if she didn't show up to work today. I work at a place with stellar benefits, but if the same thing happened to me I'd be paid for as long as the sick time lasted and given an option for leave without pay after that.
  12. That tracks. I've been calling him a mother fucker for years.
  13. I think this is all shaping up to be a nothing burger. Maybe he'll lose the 1st vote so a couple of folks can make a statement, but they won't hold out. CNN has live updates. https://www.cnn.com/politics/live-news/house-speaker-vote-congress-01-03-25/index.html
  14. Their god didn't have anything riding on it last time.
  15. I get that illness and injury happen, but what the hell? These aren't your typical office workers who need the income to survive. These are some of the most important jobs in the country. Either you can do it or not.
  16. I think a title change would suffice. I hope for fireworks, but I think they're going to get something done, at least temporarily.
  17. Ugh. This show.... I'm still watching the episodes and just fast forwarding through most of the dialogue. But if you wanted to, you could just watch the recaps before each one and essentially get everything you need.
  18. Ah. The old $30 Ozark Trail Tent. I suppose anything that gets them out on the trail is a good thing. Not so sure on what you have though. Looks a bit like my Copper Spur, but the fly doesn't look exactly right.
  19. Heavenly farts of joy. Haven't you read Deuteronomy?
  20. I know we're only on day 2, and the subject matter is heavy, but I think we're already on what will be my favorite thread of the year.
