  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. I saw it opening night, absolutely fucking loved it. Theater was raucous the last half.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.”
  7. That millisecond handshake between Hubert Davis and K was absolutely chef’s kiss.
  8. 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.
  9. 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.
  10. I somehow just watched Looper for the first time. Great picture.
  11. 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.
  12. I mean if Will really fucked Margot Robbie in response as his been rumored, you take that trade all day
  13. So far this year I've liked the new Big Thief, Mitski, Spoon, Earl Sweatshirt and Beach House.
  14. A few weeks ago I went to the NBR awards in New York. It's not televised and on a smaller scale than the Oscars, but it's still pretty A List (Will Smith, Bradley Cooper, etc.). Chris Rock gave the introduction speech for PTA winning best director and devoted the entire time to absolutely ripping PTA, Cooper Hoffman and Alana Haim. The jokes included shots at Cooper only getting the role due to nepotism (i.e., his dead father), and that it wasn't believable that a guy that looked like him could get with Alana Haim. I was sitting a few seats from Hoffman and he was laughing fucking hysterically the entire time. All that to say that a 19 year old has infinitely more maturity than Will Smith.
  15. For the love of god why couldn’t Chris Rock think up “damn Will, you would have been less pissed if I slept with your wife”
  16. There have been an infinite number of low blow, insensitive, fucked up jokes at the oscars. Only one nutter charged the stage and then claimed “god” was calling him to be a vessel for love. This isn’t hard.
  17. Haha holy shit Anthony Hopkins. King shit This oscars is drunk as a mother fucking skunk
  18. I knew I was officially old when I cried my eyes out during this movie. For better or worse, I think it’s got a shot at taking best picture from Power of the Dog tonight
  19. Beanie obviously isn’t the singer that Streisand is, but I thought she equipped herself well-enough that it didn’t weigh down the stellar comedic performance.
