  1. 1. You have any receipts on the “millionaire” claim (as if that is even remotely determinative)? 2. You are arguing against yourself. Zero (0) people claimed Swift is a rags to riches story. But the total number of affluent white girls who have swung and missed in the music industry would exceed the grand weight total of the nasty ass women who allow you into their bed. I realize being a pair of fucking imbeciles is a long-running shtick for you and Helobious, but you could try a little harder.
  2. Also that having a dad who is a fucking Merryl Lynch stock broker is some kind of golden ticket. Just hysterical levels of stupidity across all topics.
  3. It seems like there is a healthy and reasonable debate about whether it was or was not the right choice, particularly given the sudden death third possession. Math/simulations discussed at the below link. But logic certainly dictates that you don’t want to give Mahomes the ball with the advantage of knowing what he needs to do. https://x.com/SethWalder/status/1757034362380362013?s=20
  4. I asked this question awhile back; someone recommended Paige, and they’ve worked great.
  5. This guy truly delivers, no matter the topic. It’s an impressive skill.
  6. Shit, I forgot about Force Majeure and Silence. Great movies

  8. It's real to me And I think the last time I looked it up, he said he didn't remember it being so harsh but that his wife did, or something like that.
  9. For those who need to know
  10. Curry with 60 last night in a losing effort, on 58/43/100 splits. Only 6 free throws. The Warriors stink, but that dude is something else.
  11. Pack your Yeti gear, wear your Oakleys, and leave the Budweiser product at home, and you should be fine.
  12. My top ten for 2023 was: 1. KOTFM 2. Past Lives 3. The Zone of Interest 4. Oppenheimer 5. Anatomy of a Fall 6. Passages 7. The Killer 8. When Evil Lurks* 9. May December 10. A Fire Of the remaining Best Pic noms, my order would probably be Poor Things, Maestro, Barbie, and The Holdovers. Have not seen American Fiction yet. *As an aside, what a mediocre year for horror, as I usually have more than 1 in my top 10. Talk to Me, No One Will Save You and Skinamarink were in my Top 30, and Sick, Huersa, Birth/Rebirth, Perpetrator and Cobweb were all ok. Scream was fine. I thought Evil Dead Rise sucked, but maybe I'm just tired of the plot.
  13. One thing is for sure, this case is going to make a shit ton of money for law firms (thanks!), because this ruling is red fucking meat for the plaintiff’s bar.
  14. I only know what the opinion said (one example is below, which is projection-related (not accounting related)).
  15. You've said this a few times, but it isn't really true (or at least not entirely true). Certainly the shareholders thought this to be the case, because that is what they were told in the proxy. And I'm just guessing the street thought so as well, although I certainly haven't kept up with that. But, management's own internal projections showed multiple of the milestones being achieved (which they were, on time), and from an accounting perspective the Board determined several of the milestones to be in the 70% band of probability. All of that aside - and regardless of the "right" outcome - this case really came down to the entire fairness standard of judicial review (which to me (an M&A lawyer, not a litigator), seems to have been correctly applied). Once you are in that realm, it's tough to win, particularly with the bad facts Elon and the Board created.
  16. I need to start a stand alone thread, but finally got around to Zone of Interest last night. Fucking intense
  17. Whoo boy, whoever this Steve Sarkisian guy is better not bring that line of thinking into the Surly recruiting forum. We were told not to question Bo Davis and his recruiting results.
  18. He was worse outside of the courtroom in the grand meeting scene. He and Leo were in different movies.
  19. I realize Surly isn’t exactly filled to the brim with cinephiles, but claiming that KOTFM “wasn’t a noteworthy movie” is certainly up there with bad takes.
  20. It was clear that he was doing what Marty asked of him, which was a directorial mistake. KOTFM was my favorite movie of the year and a modern master piece, but the Fraser stuff is just tonally off and disjointing. I was at the NBR awards the other night, and Marty started talking about the scene where the Osage gather in a circle to talk about the ongoing travesty. He said they needed some audience reaction shots, so he asked one of the loquacious Osage actors to rile the folks up. The resulting off the cuff monologue was so great Marty decided to leave it in, and, in my opinion, is one of the best scenes of the movie. What a picture
  21. I guess I’m ok with Gerwig not being nominated, because that category is stacked. Personally I would swap her in for Yorgos (another film that struggles with being a bit too one note in an otherwise masterfully created world). Robbie not being nominated over Annette Bening is fucking insane.
