  1. Strikeouts are cool but what's also cool is not hanging a shitty slider in the middle of the zone with a guy on base.
  2. I mean what the fuck does it matter? Austin has already jumped the shark. I'd rather live in Dallas or Houston. The populace in Austin has become insufferable.
  3. Tim Dillon doesn’t live in Austin. Which the article says, I guess. Tweet is sort of misleading.
  4. She's cool as fuck, too. Her break 50 w Bryson is a good watch.
  5. It sounds like they fucked around and found out.
  6. That's neat but I'm not giving pos rep for the replica Astros ring.
  7. I'm flat on my back on the Earth looking at the stars right now, man. I'd recommend it.
  8. Oh no - you're educating your kids to be retards too?
  9. I don't have "one day". I have to deal with the shitty state of this country that people like you created by implicitly trusting mainstream media.
  10. One of my favorite albums of all time. New Bermuda is even better. I was supposed to go see them in college but I got sick.
  11. I didn't say anything. @shadow_operative2.0 did you say something? @Herbie Hancock? No? @AbeFroman? Yeah I don't think anyone said anything. We're just playing baseball out here. Long season. Lot of games left.
  12. I thought some guy ranked like 300 dusted her while barely trying. I don't know a lot about tennis so can't comment on that but it's always seemed to require pretty exceptional athleticism. Also Serena is one of the biggest outliers of all time. That's like saying girls aren't good at hockey because none of them could ever touch Wayne Gretzky.
  13. Old School Runescape.
  14. Cool and I've never played much more than beach and pool volleyball but I'm pretty sure as a high school boy playing against high school girls I would have dominated. Acting like the gap between men's and women's basketball players is significantly bigger than it is in other sports is hysterical. Unless it's highly specialized stuff like golf or swimming.
  15. I thought it was really good. I liked how they very early on displayed Superman's morality on such a micro level and pushed it to where it's almost a fault of his. It goes hand-in-hand with why I like Captain America a lot in all of the Marvel movies - I think personal interactions like that hold weight vs. let's hit the alien monster with a death ray over NYC and cause billions in collateral damage (which can also work - I like all of the Avengers movies). It's pretty easily the best Superman adaptation of my lifetime (90s - present) - not that that's a high bar. If you thought it was too goofy or campy or aren't a fan of all of the dues ex machina then why the fuck are you paying money to go see a Superman film in the first place? It set reasonable expectations going in and I thought it delivered. Mr. Fantastic aka superhero MF Doom was cool as fuck and like others said damn near stole the show. I feel like he could carry his own spinoff. It wasn't quite Deadpool or Batman Begins or Iron Man 1 level but it reminded me of stuff like that in that it was very fresh and handled with care and could maybe kick some other really good stuff off. I think it was just as good as GOTG or any Spiderman movie and compares favorably with a lot of the better X-men stuff. Probably better than the first Captain America - maybe not quite Winter Soldier level? Obviously everyone has varied opinions on all those films but I think this was good enough to where you can measure it against a lot of the better comic-book stuff ever.
  16. That's what I meant by "fairly infant". They are only very recently in a spot where there is actually money involved.

    You mean another game vacation?

    I'm not sure if you're just upset because you're going to the game and wanted to see him play but Messi can and should do whatever he wants. (I too however would be annoyed if I was going and he decided not to play) Fun fact: I HAVE seen him in person but not in an actual match. Argentina was playing Mexico at Jerryworld and they used SMU's field to practice one day - while I was there. We all crowded around the fence and watched them for a bit.
  19. I don't know what that means. Okogie can't handle the ball or create offense or shoot.
  20. I thought it was very good. Whatever F1 announcer y'all were complaining about I agree - while watching I thought the guy commentating over the first F1 race Pitt was in fucking ruined the entire scene. Really poor direction imo. Agree that it didn't feel loud enough but maybe that's a theater by theater thing. It's blatantly too long but I will take it I guess as these are the movies we need more of. I need an excuse to go see movies in theaters because I still enjoy it and that's exactly what this is. I feel like this dude gets it (just cut the fucking runtime - stuff like this should be 125-130 minutes max). Anyone complaining about the story or simplicity or acting or screenwriting or cheesiness or whatever exhibits the exact type of pretentious dickheadedness that attempted to kill this industry. Sometimes I just want to go zone the fuck out and be spoonfed surrealism and dissasociation for a couple hours.
  21. If you bring a child 2 years old or younger to a non-kids movie you should be taken out back and shot.
  22. Seriously how much are we paying this dickhead.
