  1. Yeah, aside from MI3, his movies weren't my cup of tea, but I read a lot of his scripts and recognized the talent.  Plus I was a big fan of Fringe.

    But I mostly appreciated him as a fellow Longhorn.

    Uh, read my post again. I purposefully said “people living in Austin at a particular snapshot in time” with the Tower shooting in the back of my mind. I wasn’t alive during the Tower shooting, but I was in junior high for the yogurt shop murders and that event was a palpable change in the psyche of Austin.

    Oh, I read it, but I wasn't in HS so I guess the "innocence" of Austin never existed for me.

    It was an event that people living in Austin at a particular snapshot in time can point to when the city lost a palpable amount of innocence.

    Oh really?

    Seriously though, the details of those murders were/are haunting and incredibly sad.  I was a sophomore, so I was only a couple years older than the 2 oldest girls.  It really shook me.

  4. I totally missed that prolific writer/producer, and Longhorn legend Roberto Orci died last week.  I guess I was too caught up in the news of the deaths of Hackman and Trachtenberg to notice.

    I worked in Hollywood when he and his partner, Alex Kurtzman, were just becoming the "it" writing duo.

    RIP

    You need to take a Xanax or start smoking weed. You are going off the rails. This is crazy talk.

    I'm with @Brisketexan.  At this point you'd have to assume any Intel you provide is going straight to the Kremlin.

    you and my wife are in agreement. she can't deal with all the off topic chatter.

    I don't know, discussing VWs seems apropos to me considering who created them and where we are now as a country.

    Well, I’m 100% confident that the answer to “what would Jesus do” is “starve out people to complete ethnic cleansing.” It’s right there in the Gospel of Trump, which is the only book of the Bible they believe in.

    That and Psalm 2A
