  1. He's been playing like a shithead all season. I watched him shoot PHO out of multiple games. He was supposed to take the torch from KD and be the 1A and he's completely shit his pants in this series. 

    Talented guy but seems very low IQ and like he's not a great leader.

    Say what you want about him Chris Paul seriously carried that franchise for a few seasons there. 

  2. I just want to say that following this dude's career for 15 years now has been an absolute and complete fucking ass-whipping in every way imaginable and I'm so utterly exhausted from it it borderline makes me want to quit watching sports altogether.

  3. Finally got around to it at the Bob Bullock IMAX. Think it was the 2nd to last showing.

    That was maybe the most impressive technical achievement I've ever seen on film. Rivals the PJ LOTR. The cinematography, sound and score were all incredible.

    I didn't really know any of the story. The twist was solid. The whole thing reminded me of Empire in a good way. 

    Chalamet and Zendaya were both powerhouse. I still think she looks weird but that bitch can act. Bardem was great and well deployed comic relief. Walken was a fun cameo. I loved the Baron's nephew as a character. 

    Something I was wondering about is the Lisan Al-Gaib being an actual prophecy/fatalistic type thing or being more manufactured. I'm assuming it's sort of supposed to be open for interpretation and like a crossing of timelines/time is cyclical/an illusion type deal. 

    I like how morally ambiguous the entire thing is. By the end Paul is just as much of a villain as he is a hero. That Herbet motherfucker could write. 

    I'm hoping ATJ and Pugh take their clothes off in part 3.

    When you get past smart phones and the internet, what's puzzles me is how young men just aren't interested in getting laid, to be blunt.  Back in the Gen X days, literally everything we did was in order to get girls.  Get a job, get a car, drive, go to college, make money, stay in shape, etc. were ALL to get girls.  It was rare if you were still a virgin at 18 and especially if you still were in college. When you take away that ambition as a heterosexual (and maybe homosexual) male, there is no reason to get off your mom's couch and put down the controller.

    The idea that every male's life should revolve around and be assigned worth based on "getting pussy" is toxic in itself and rather ridiculous. Just like the idea that every woman needs to get married and have kids to have any self-worth.

    I saw a stat a few weeks ago that I'm sure I could dig up if I wanted that said the % of Gen Z women that identified as bi-sexual FAR outstripped women from other generations and then Gen Z men as well.  I took that to mean as the young men were so unimpressive that they were willing to give the other team a try even if they'd prefer to find a man.  

    That's rather ridiculous conjecture. For starters, the % of bi GenZ males almost assuredly outstrips the % of millenial/genX males. By your logic, if there are women tired of men then there are almost as many men tired of women.

    Let's not act like every female out there is doing a bang-up job at presenting themselves as a suitable partner. All of this cuts both ways regardless of whether it's 40% women's fault/60% men's, whatever.

  5. I'm not penciling Denver to the Finals just yet. I think the Minny/PHO winner is going to be dangerous. 

    I have no idea what is going on with Boston. Maybe they just need to exorcise the Miami demon and they'll roll from there.

    But my God Brown and Tatum are just so often... flat. Watching them lose to Miami - again - I was thinking about the Durant/Westbrook days. Those guys would have bad games and they lost series (albeit to some really fucking good teams) but they wouldn't just disappear and look like deer in the headlights during playoff games against worse teams. They always had that gamebreaking potential to come screaming back out of nowhere or tear the roof off the arena and ride the momentum to a W. 

    I just don't see that that often with Tatum and Brown. It's like they're missing some sort of 5th gear or competitive edge or nastiness. 

    Can't wait for G3 of that one...
