The movie you just watched
Had nothing to watch the other night so popped on The Nice Guys again. What a fun movie. Crowe and Gosling are great and it’s so well written. I really wish it would have done better so Shane Black would get more shots like this.

What year was this in the A&M yearbook? 1986?

Elon Musk: Nazi traitor piece of shit [Confirmed]
I do find it funny the instead of a Tesla, he is looking at a VW. You know, the original and literal Nazi car.

The Supremes
“And if a former president’s official acts are routinely subjected to scrutiny in criminal prosecutions, “the independence of the executive branch” may be significantly undermined.” I’m sorry. Didn’t they just destroy the independence of the executive branch? Or is the Executive Branch just the President now?

"the bear" - new series on fx
I haven't gotten into Season 3 yet, but I have been rewatching 2. The Fishes/Forks duo, as well as the finale have been discussed to death (deservedly so), but the two in between are really good too ("I wear suits now"). I had forgotten how much goes on in those and how well it brings us down and sets the stage for the finale. Just really top notch writing and season building.

Religion, weaponized religion, and the separation of church and state
https://www.history.com/news/why-the-star-spangled-banner-is-played-at-sporting-events Apparently WWI. I've stopped being into that too since it's just performative nonsense to me. I'll go through the motions, but I prefer to be somewhere else (bathroom, walking the concourse, etc) when it's being sung. I just find it strange. Why not do it before movies? Plays? They do it before my 7 year old's swim meets for some reason. They have cute kids do it, so I guess it's a performance for them, but I don't need to perform as well. I actually just asked my 7 year old about the pledge of allegiance and she had no idea what I was talking about. She goes to an Episcopal school, so depending on your views, that can have its' own cult aspects. I have been pleased with signs that they use a very progressive and welcoming version of Christianity. Interesting variation on the usual Church vs State argument though.

We should just trash the whole pledge of allegiance. Looking back, that’s some creepy, cult shit.

Guy Ritchie & Cavill - The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare
I saw it in theaters a bit back and enjoyed it. Nothing fancy, just a fun movie. Dudes rock. It didn’t do great here, but I hoped it did well enough in the UK to be a success. I saw it had $0 and apparently Amazon had rights in the UK, so no box office there. Sucks that they didn’t put it in theaters. Hopefully Amazon paid up big to offset it.

Elon Musk: Nazi traitor piece of shit [Confirmed]
We were all in the car yesterday and my 4 year old said, “Mommy, I just saw one of those ugly cars”. He meant the CyberTruck. Raising them right in this house.

The Girl w/ The Dragon Tattoo--Swedish trilogy
I don’t think the Fincher one tanked. I just looked and it had a $90m budget and made $102m in US and $232m worldwide. For a 2.5 hour pitch black movie, that’s really good. I imagine Fincher wasn’t interested and they couldn’t pull it together like someone said earlier.

- The movie you just watched
I know I have mentioned this movie on this thread before. It's one of my favorite "fuck it, nothing is on, I'll just watch this" movie. The diner scene and the hotel room scene are so great (for very different reasons).- Official Thread for Abortion Demagoguery
Ask a pro-lifer if they want to raise taxes to be sure every child has enough food. It’s pro-birth, not pro-life.- Can someone explain this France thing to me like I’m 5?

I don’t know why people insist on fucking up good things. It’s exhausting.- Sony Pictures buys Alamo Drafthouse
I'm dubious but hopeful. If Sony puts in money where it is needed and stays out of the way, could be good. Big companies aren't known for that though. Best case is probably that it's such a small part of their film business that no one really pays attention to it and it can just do its' thing.- Netflix Recommendations
Watched "Scoop" with my wife last night. It's about the booking of Prince Andrew on News Night in the UK and his disastrous interview regarding Jeffrey Epstein (the New York financier). Definitely not essential, but interesting enough for your time. If your wife is interested in the royals and their insanity, you can get some easy points here.- 2024 Super Regionals
The CF should be allowed to kick the 3B in the nuts.- Movie theaters officially dead
Yeah, that’s been fun too. They’ve basically turned the Village theater into a repertory theater. We’ve seen multiple kids movies as a family (Snow White, Cars, Little Mermaid) and I have seen Speed and Alien (I know Alien was a larger rerelease) there the last few months. Speed and Alien back on the big screen was dope and everyone was having a great time in the theater together.- Movie theaters officially dead
Agree with this. I almost go exclusively to the Alamo in Austin (usually Village or South Lamar). I really enjoy the pre show and their effort to make it more of an event with specialty food and drink. I rarely (if ever) buy anything specialty but it makes me feel like they at least give a shit. I know it’s ultimately a money making endeavor, but I feel like the people who program and the people who work there are movie people. I never get that feeling the rare times I go elsewhere. I also enjoy the limited previews/commercials. They’ll still show 10-15 minutes of previews but I enjoy previews. What I don’t enjoy is 5-8 minutes of commercials I see at home, then 10-15 minutes of previews. I was in Houston for a few months last fall and had to use the AMC and the commercials drove me insane. Also, the preshow was just commercials or other nonsense.- The Wire
This was a true story relayed to Simon when he was writing Homicide: Life on the Killing Streets. I can’t remember if it made it into the book (the filmed scene may have overtaken the book story in my head), but that book is great. So many wild stories. - The movie you just watched
