  1. I don't know but can she give us a few slap-singles out of the 9 spot.
  2. I'm just a big fan of machete order. I get the prequel hate. I have the same hate for the sequels (sans TFA which I like a lot). I think if you're introducing people to the universe interspersing 5 and 6 with the prequel story is the way to go. It makes 6 so, so good as a ribbon on top of the whole thing. In particular - there is a lot of really good stuff when you go from 3 to 6. You leave Luke's storyline in a dark/confusing place after 5. Then you show how Anakin fell to the dark side. Then you open with Luke dressed all in black being pretty brutal when he assaults Jabba's palace. He's using force choke. He's acting a little arrogant. If I don't know the full story or I'm 10 or 11 or whatever and I've just watched episode 3 then that stuff kind of matters. It gets your mental gears turning. And then you have the whole redemptive arc of the entire series. That's not to mention the Palpatine arc that Machete order helps with. I mean it's a thing for a reason. YMMV.
  3. Damn this changes everything. Lakers in 7.
  4. Also - no kid after watching 4 and 5 isn't going to like attack of the clones. They're going to love that shit. Y'all are trying to force your old-man gatekeeping opinions onto kids who will more likely than not love 2 and 3. Then show them ROTJ and blow their minds.
  5. I don't think y'all understand the point of machete order. And to your point @mdmost, then go 4, 5, 3, 6. Skip 1 and 2. I mean if you hate the prequels then it's a pointless discussion anyway. Just instill in your kids hatred of the same shit that you aren't a fan of. Then yell at them when they strikeout in little-league.
  6. I flipped it on. We're gonna rake here B2.
  7. Can we get Candace on a game that matters, though? I mean they shove Reggie down my throat every marquee matchup.
  8. Those paychecks hit nice for Spo after these last couple games.
  9. Good fucking God I just flipped this one on.
  10. Lmfao that was my first thought.
  11. Christ - this is phenomenal on so many levels. Well done, sir.
  12. At this point Bochy may retire or just shoot himself mid-season.
  13. Can he hit 2 hole? I was going to ride vanilla for the season but @Sgt Hulk nailed it too hard.
  14. These takes are a little disingenuous. You shouldn't be allowed to willy-nilly play 4 years at 4 different schools. That's fucking lame. I agree with the economic freedom and player-empowerment aspect but there needs to be some level of commitment and price-control instituted. It's not fun or optimal for anyone for this to be an uncapped auction-market. I think two-year contracts would be a good start. If you want out after the first year your contract needs to be bought out and maybe you sit for a season. These are professional athletes at this point. I think it's entirely fair to treat them like professional athletes.
  15. Thank God Carlos Boozer is here to lay it out for us.
  16. Gratzi
  17. When will every episode be out? I don't have Disney+ anymore so I'd like to just get it for a month to watch through and maybe rewatch some S1.
  18. So it was a Monday as usual in Southern Europe.
  19. I go 4, 5, 2, 3, 6 when I rewatch - and yes, it's the way to go. If your kids NEED to watch episode 1 then I don't know, do it after 6 maybe? Or start off with it?
  20. Well I didn't say that because I hadn't seen this film yet. Definitely a big fan of 90s vampire Hailee Steinfeld. Maybe we need a sequel.
  21. Just went. Went in not really knowing anything other than the trailers and my boss saying he and his wife went and they liked it. Didn't know MBJ was playing twins. Didn't know it was about vampires. I think that's an instant classic. I liked Creed fine. Not really a Black Panther fan. Never saw Judas and the Black Messiah. This is a completely different level of film-making and I think @mdmost is hitting it on the head. It reminded me of 90s/00s Tarantino/Guy Ritchie stuff. Beautifully shot, written, acted, scored and exceedingly original and unpredictable. Just a total fucking joy to watch. That's a 3rd Oscar for Goransson barring something wacky and MBJ will have a shot at his own I think (I guess for supporting? Hard to sus that out). Also feel like this notches MBJ up a stardom level. I mean he was already an A-lister but this just felt a little different. Like he's entering that Stallone/Arnold/Bruce Willis tier.
  22. I'm not a big Giannis fan but wouldn't blame him at all and frankly think he should demand out. It's also what the Bucks should do, anyway. They aren't winning shit with how bad that roster is and the zero draft capital they have. Kind of a rare superstar trade that should be mutually beneficial.
  23. Maybe they just take him out back and shoot him.
  24. I mean I buy a lot of women's underwear but it's much classier than those hot pink MJ panties.
