    I think I mentioned it months ago, but I just can't get behind Lando. He just rubs me the wrong way.

    That push at the end from Lando seemed like some immature stuff to me.

     you've created animosity with your team and teammate. 

     

    I've felt the same about Lando from time to time.  But I've checked myself because I think my favoritism toward Danny affects my judgment.

    I don't think animosity is the right word; Daniel's been around long enough to see it as it is.  Lando has a chip on his shoulder, wants to make his mark on the sport. Who can blame him.  Yeah he comes across as a bit insecure, maybe a little immature (the lunge I agree), but I was an immature dipshit well beyond Lando's age, and I didn't have the weight of being a Formula 1 driver on my shoulders.  These young guys are impressive.

    He wants his time in the sun. If Danny has anything left in the tank, then no better teammate to have to show it.

  2. Can't recall the last movie I wanted to go back and see again, but this hits the mark.  The only open seats anywhere within a thousand miles were for a basic showing with sub titles; didn't bother me or the family but I now want to see it with the full Imax/Dolby seat shaking version.

    Had a day to process why it was so anxiety inducing and a full on blast.  For me it's when the pilots are in the plane doing what they do, and the camera has a a close up breathing into their mask with FULL ON ADRENALINE, eyes wide as hell, yelling into their comms, while mountains and trees are flying past at low altitude.  JFC that detail, their ability to focus (I know it's fucking fiction, but I forgot) on the task without shitting their pants, was finomenil.

    Slower parts were fine, didn't feel slow, just feeding into the bigger story quite well.  Interesting to see how this plays out during award season.

    I’m more worried about getting struck by lightning. 

    I know you’re fucking with everyone, and it’s somewhat entertaining, but usually disappointing. Granted, there’s alot of hypobele in some posts you’re fucking with, but you come across as too intelligently humorous to ignore the macro movement of the Republican Party. You’re micro examples make you seem obtuse to a bigger picture that is obvious to anyone with a reasonably discerning brain.

    People are worried about a macro shift in this country toward something that is undemocratic and unconstitutional. Because that doesn’t resonate in your small profile of American life doesn’t mean it isn’t happening.

    But hey, you do you.

  4. I watched the first couple of episodes and lost interest. Nothing else to watch so revisited hoping for better.

    It did. It’s weird as shit but I’m growing more intrigued, especially with the Royal confession.

    I assume the bear and bison are characters that have somehow been reincarnated as animals? Don’t know how else to explain that.

    Only question is how do Autumn and Amy exist in the same time? So if Autumn runs into her at the ranch just say sup?

    Josh Brolin is made for this. He’s a great fucking Western actor.

  5. When it came out seemed like an odd mash up of genre and actor, so I passed.

    Caught it last night streaming.  Much better than I expected.  Ridiculous, over the top, completely implausible, but entertaining as hell.

    He’s competitive enough. Their car isn’t consistent right now. I’d keep him for the marketing and to help Lando.

    That’s my McLaren thinking, but what’s his?

    Fucker is too happy go lucky on the surface, but you don’t get to where he is without serious competitive DNA.

    I hope he stays and kicks ass, but I don’t know. Probably why I like him.

    He should switch with Danny and compete with Lando. Danny is looks done. 

    This bums me out. I’m a big DR fan but I honestly don’t know what to think about his future. He said in the Vegas clip about 2023 “now I won’t retire”. Not sure if that was a joke or real talk. 

    You guys are way more dialed in driver’s careers, their decisions, but I’m fascinated with how he handles the adversity. Does he improve and stay? Say fuck it I have enough money and don’t want to be shown up by a 21 year old kid? Hoping for former. The rest of the season will be telling.
     

    You have Vettel and Alonso out there still competing but with middle of the pack teams. If things don’t improve wonder if he’ll choose this route or just take time off then become everyone’s favorite TV color commentator.

  8. I'm really enjoying this show.

    Did Paramount just not bother marketing it?  The only thing I've seen is a billboard that was so bland I didn't give it a second thought.  Only reason I watched the show was because of this thread.

    csb/ I was invited to a party at Evans' Beverly Hills house a year or so after The Kid Stays in the Picture.  Buddy of mine worked for Sirius and they had just given him some kind of radio show, so they threw a party.  When we were walking up to the front door Jack Nicholson walked out and lit a cigarette.  He looked up and said "Fucking rain" (just started sprinkling) then flicked his cigarette and walked right back in behind us.

    It was cool poking around the house I saw in the movie.  Evans was swarmed with people so never got to speak to him, unforunately. Only odd thing I recall was Dick Van Patten giving the primary speech about Evans, how great he is, yadda yadda.  I thought, Could there be a more polar opposite personality to Evans, the dad from Eight is Enough?

    Apparently they've been very close friends for some time.  Go figure.

    anybody else sitting on a 2.5% 30 year fixed?

    Nope.  2.75 on a 15 year fixed.

    Nine years in, monthly principal 85%, interest 15%

    I feel bad for people having to deal with this market, it's brutally expensive.  Very fortunate I had a buddy hook us up with JP Morgan Private Mortgage when we closed this bad boy REFI way back when.  I've lived through really high interest rates, and when I saw that 2.75, I said fuck it, we're paying more for a 15 and getting rid of this mortgage before we retire.

  10. I've always really liked this Thin Lizzy song

     

    But this one is my favorite. I saw it live on the Born in the USA tour and the crowd went nuts when Clarence let it fly

    Taking the family to California this summer and we fly into LAX early on the first day. We will be spending the rest of the day at the Petersen. Pretty excited to check it out. 

    Petersen is fantastic but realistically it will be at most a 2 hour visit . They have a private tour of the cars in the garage that aren’t on the floor that would extend this. 
     

    Haven’t done it (yet) but I’m pretty sure it needs an advanced reservation.

    I like the cut of your jib sir, instilling priorities on a family vacation to SoCal.
