  1. I'm not even honestly that familiar with his catalogue or interested in the genre, but Randy Rhoads. Biggie was fuckin 24 years old. If he had even another 5 years of meaningful creative output, what would happen if he's done in 2002 rather than 97?
  2. I start my slate of meetings at 6 or 630 most days. Fuckin India. Placing the iPhone on the changing table where I can reach the mute button but where the 1 year old won’t kick it into the shitty diaper is an art.
  3. Of all of the different types of critics, I care the least about video game critics, and especially of nerd games.
  4. have they published a leader list? is gandhi about to nuke the world again
  5. Frank Nitty in Untouchables is a fucking cartoon character.
  6. Donnie Brasco, Carlito's Way, A Bronx Tale - these all to me fall into the category of fun mafia movies that have really great mob movie scenes but also aren't actually great movies. "Now youse can't leave" "fuhgeddaboutit". I think Donnie Brasco is probably the best out of these and Lefty (and Pacino's portrayal of him) is a great mob character. He may be the best combination of.... he's not much more than a piece of shit thief scumbag and yet you can empathize with his plight, living the consequence of a lifetime of being a piece of shit. It's also interesting how much of the plot is relatable to corporate drones - he's got some ambition to be more than essentially a low level manager and it's never going to happen for him, and then he's getting batted around in a power struggle at the higher levels, his golden boy protege is ripped from him, it all blows up and they're going to chuck him out with the trash. I'm coming back around on Donnie Brasco being a good movie. It suffers from being very late 90s. I haven't watched The Untouchables in maybe 8 years or so but I remember thinking it was not nearly as good as I remembered it. It may also be just suffering from seeming very of its time.
  7. helo just engaging with the comments on this vid
  8. Don’t get me wrong because obviously the godfathers are a couple of the greatest all time films, but apart from sorta kinda the deniro bit of II they have nothing to do with the actual mafia. They were never any more honorable than Clemenza.
  9. I would argue that The Godfather (I and II) are better films than Goodfellas but that Goodfellas is a better gangster movie.
  10. What the fuck is wrong with you people. It starts with Goodfellas. honestly even Casino I’d put above The Untouchables.
  11. Where do the Algonquin stand?
  12. I’m so curious about people like Pimphand’s actual lives.
  13. This is likely enough time to get Steven Seagal prepped for negotiations.
  14. Conservatives explicitly do not give a fuck about how they treat their neighbors and they sure as fuck don’t have time for people telling them to start caring about things like that.
  15. I don’t know what is real anymore
  16. after a day of not shutting the fuck up, I finally got her to talk to someone else. Alexa just keeps saying “I don’t know how to help you with that.”
  17. We’re going to end up with fentanyl in the guacamole.
  18. Are the adults in charge now?
  19. Cottage cheese actually would work there too, that’s probably what I would do if I was at home. but if I’m spending a day in office, I’ll hit up chipotle or get a smoothie and eat a quest bar. i eat a lot of popcorn - wife got me this as a stocking stuffer and I guess I’m surprised you can just microwave dry popcorn kernels in what amounts to a steamer. This has made controlling nighttime snack calories fairly easy.
  20. He strikes me as more self-loathing than that.
  21. Part of what makes recapturing the essence of classic shaggy impossible is that that brand of Internet humor was ruined by the pepes who took it seriously.
