  1. Not sure if you’ve been yet, but the Drafthouse in FiDi is great for this kind of movie. The sound they have going there is top notch.
  2. Towns is pulling and absolute classic Towns game. He went to the James Harden school of playoff performance
  3. Do not stay by MSG. That area is the dump of Manhattan, even more so than Times Square.
  4. Steph starting to look like Steph. Dubs are fun
  5. Is the assumption that you get the player at the peak of their career, or at the peak of their time with the applicable team?
  6. Kyrie is a weirdo no doubt, but big props for showing up to a place that hates your guts and behaves as aggy as a Celtics fans behave, and just ripping their fucking hearts out
  7. Didn’t we used to have a concert review thread? Saw Wilco play Yankee Hotel Foxtrot on Friday. I love that album, but by Wilco standards the show was pretty meh. Played every song note for note straight through, followed by three mellow songs in tribute to Jay Bennett. The crowd is also becoming a caricature of the stereotype. Just 45-50 year old chubby white dudes cheersing, whooping and filming with their thumb partially covering the camera the entire time. Then saw Big Thief at King’s Theater last night. They are fucking incredible live, and the crowd was great. I wish I had gone both nights.
  8. I will still be shocked if we see him this year, but who knows. If he wanted to make his return even more of a spectacle, he’s certainly achieved that.
  9. It’s hilarious to read the full transcript in comparison to Anwar’s tweet. Anyone still paying for OB should be embarrassed (stating the obvious).
  10. That’s probably right, although I can see an argument for wanting to catch Brooklyn or Milwaukee before you’ve been beat up by the Raptors and Heat over 2 rounds.
  11. Will be interesting to see how Boston plays it. The Bucks play early in the day, so Boston will at least know that outcome. If the Bucks win, Boston will try to win to ensure they stay matched with Chicago. If the Bucks lose, Boston is in a trickier spot because Philly tips at the same time. If Boston loses to avoid Brooklyn but Philly wins, Boston falls to 4 to play Toronto, a much harder matchup than Chicago.
  12. Ambulance, new Michael Bay movie. It’s truly a black mark on society that we don’t lock Michael Bay in jail so he can’t make more movies. I must really hate myself to pay money to see that shit.
  13. I saw it opening night, absolutely fucking loved it. Theater was raucous the last half.
  14. My firm has 8 tickets a few rows off the court. Actually not that hard to snag in recent years with how bad the Knicks have sucked.
  15. Went to the game tonight. KD seemed pretty uninterested for 3 quarters, and then just totally went into another gear. Guy is unreal. Stating the obvious, but as good as KD and Kyrie are, I wouldn’t bet on Brooklyn against MIL or the Celtics. Their supporting cast is rough. Ben Simmons is a weird dude. Jumped out of the pre-game handshake; didn’t take his shades off the entire game.
  16. The reviews for this movie are so incredibly bad I kind of want to see it. I had a friend tell me “it’s not a so bad it’s actually good situation. It’s actually just fucking awful.”
  17. That millisecond handshake between Hubert Davis and K was absolutely chef’s kiss.
  18. This is definitely true. I remember being a little intimidated when I first started at my firm because I was 1 of maybe 4 or 5 in our class of ~65 that didn't go to one of the top 10 law schools (at the time I think it was Ivy schools + Stanford, Chicago, NYU, Duke, etc.). Then you start working and quickly realize that they have a pretty normal distribution of bozos and actual high achievers. But unfortunately this is also definitely true, at least in NYC and (I assume) DC. They may not be smarter or better educated, but the connections and removal of barriers to entry would absolutely be worth it. I have to believe that wouldn't really be a big deal in other markets like Texas where a UT degree carries serious cachet.
  19. It was pretty much non-stop comedy and action-comedy with a pretty simple theme and message. The theater I was in fucking loved it. I mostly liked it - and really liked 1 or 2 scenes - although it’s not really in my wheel house. Well acted.
  20. I somehow just watched Looper for the first time. Great picture.
  21. Kimi - lesser Soderbergh, but better than I thought it would be. No Exit - worth a watch, but not as good as I wanted it to be. Seeing Everything Everywhere All At Once on Friday. The trailer doesn’t grab me but it’s getting rave reviews, so we’ll see.
