  1. Man they are really leaning into the military and cops tonight…
  2. This is lovely, except it isn't true as it relates to the "conservative" Republican party in modern history. The party of Reagan and Bush that all of the Never Trumpers supported was also a party of shitty policy and bigotry (albeit in more hushed tones I suppose). Granted, they weren't a threat to democracy like the current iteration, but let's not pretend that "any conservative party" would support a bolstered social safety net, the freedom of bodily autonomy if you happen to be a woman, etc. Of course, I'm happy to have as big of a tent as possible this coming November.
  3. Caught some weakfish out in Sag Harbor Bay this morning. Great fish for Baja Fish Tacos with homemade serrano cream sauce.
  4. You just described virtually every 9.95er in the business, including our own. Recruiting fans live for this shit. Sprinkle in some “starter kit” for your backup plans and “character issues” for your misses and you are fucking golden.
  5. Now you've gone and made me rank the Hitchcock movies I've seen. Plenty I haven't seen, especially from the early years. 1a/b. Vertigo/Psycho 3. Rebecca 4. Rear Window 5. Notorious 6. The Birds 7. The Man Who Knew Too Much 8. Strangers on a Train 9. NXNW 10. Rope 11. To Catch a Thief 12. Foreign Correspondent 13. The 39 Steps 14. The Lady Vanishes 15. Dial M for Murder 16. Marnie 17. Saboteur 18. Torn Curtain 19. Topaz 20. Trouble with Harry
  6. Holy shit, actual player info in a commitment thread instead of the same lame ass gifs and memes. Machinator for president!
  7. The Beast (available on Criterion). One of the best 2024 flicks I’ve seen. Lea Seydoux, my god Also really liked I Saw the TV Glow, Love Lies Bleeding and Longlegs. Maxxxine was good not great.
  8. The bread and everything else in that photo come from the farmer’s market in my neighborhood. Sadly I do not have a baker’s touch
  9. Calendar turns to August, y’all MFs know what to do
  10. It’s really amazing to watch. Several of my colleagues are former law school classmates of JD. Most of them say he was a pretty generic, dweeby but harmless guy at YLS. You never know what’s lurking underneath. On the other hand, they’ve all described his wife as “soulless” even back then, so seems like a match made in heaven.
  11. LeBron, Duncan, Kobe, Steph, Shaq, KD, Jokic, Dirk, Wade, Garnett.
  12. I bet this joke went hard in the smith county Facebook group.
  13. Extremely successful private sector career? Didn’t he spend like 2.5 years a McKinsey before jumping ship to the public sector? Not that I disagree with your overall point. He needs to be a heavy hitter on the campaign trail.
  14. I went to bed around 10pm with a team of juniors cranking away on a thing a client asked for by noon today. At 3am I start getting panicked phone calls from the team that all computers have crashed. Then the IT backup call alerts start. Still down, fun morning!
  15. Whoever created this sock account is absolutely masterful.
  16. The interview with Oz at the end of that episode is really, really great. Interesting deep dive into the creative process and intent of this movie (even if, for me, some of the intent really didn't come through).
  17. You could probably skip. The cinematography was really interesting, sort of like if Malick shot a B movie (or at least that’s what they were going for). But yeah, there are at least 2 absolutely gnarly kills
  18. Roughly in order for me, Speak No Evil, Barbarian, X, Terrifier 2, The Sadness, Resurrection, Pearl, Crimes of the Future, Nope (sort of ish, maybe more sci-fi), Smile, Nanny, Men, Watcher, Black Phone. And then even some dumb horror comedy stuff like The Menu, Bodies x3, Fresh and Scream were pretty good. On Evil Dead Rise, nothing wrong with it for sure, I think I’m just kind of tired of the set up at this point.
  19. I think it’s a product of how tremendous 2021 and 2022 were. Of course, I had my first child in December of 22 and I definitely watch less now, so maybe I’m just out of the loop. But last year, for example, I only loved When Evil Lurks and Talk to Me. Infinity Pool, No One Will Save You, Sick and Huesera were aight, Skinamarink was what it was, and then it was a bunch of meh to bad like Evil Dead Rise, Birth/Rebirth, Cobweb (hated it), Scream 6 and Perpetrator. This year, First Omen is the only thing I’ve really loved. In A Violent Nature was pretty cool, and Sanctuary and Late Night with the Devil were both ok. Abigail was hot garbage. But I’m all in on Longlegs, Maxxxine, Smile 2 and, of course Nosferatu, so fingers crossed.
  20. You look at America over there and it’s all about the tradition of having a man with one foot in a casket be the last line of defense against the end of western democracy.
  21. This show is 50% great (court room stuff) and 50% terrible (family stuff). I’m still watching to the end
  22. In. Eggers is 3/3 so far.
  23. Have tickets for next Saturday night, can’t wait. It’s been a mid last 18 months or so for horror. Hopefully this lives up to the hype.
