Another sad sack movie with Tatum as the simple, but earnest guy. He’s made the same movie over and over again. Please do something different/challenging or go away.

Chappelle’s special is 75 minutes of him telling sad stories from the past. His fastball is gone.

I enjoyed these 3. Got back to the basics. Friendship and love prevailing against evil.

2025-26 Houston Rockets Thread - Back to Contention?
Correct on the Lakers. Lowe has explained many times that the NBA backloads their schedule so their games aren’t going against football. Their schedule gets much tougher after the Super Bowl. I haven’t seen any explanations on why the Rockets have played so many road games.

If I can get a Buffalo Trace store pick, Sazerac 100, Sazerac 125, and an Old Forester Rye Barrel Proof from the pick ‘em table, I’ll leave with a smile.

Yes please. A protected late first feels about right.

Agreed with the poster above. Pass on all. There’s a reckoning coming for stores that continue to pull this shit.

New Houston Restaurant Recommendations
There’s a speakeasy in Credance. Ciro’s is next door if you want something cheaper for dinner. Ciro’s bar is 65 and up/God’s waiting room. Bar and dining room at Haywire are pretty nice. Plenty of dinner options in the $20-25 range.

Yeah. She has one of the most memorable lines in television history during Season 1.

Christopher Nolan's next film, The Odyssey
It’s out there. Apparently they dropped the first 6 minutes of The Odyssey before the new Avatar piece of shit.

aggy reddit is overwhelmingly blaming the offensive struggles on Klein. More than a few chiming in that Klein blew the game so he could leave for K State early. I think they could read a Marcel Reed scouting report co-authored by Dan Campbell and Johnny 8Ball, and it still wouldn’t convince them he sucks.

I assume Knob Creek is distilled at the Booker Noe Distillery? If Jim Beam isn’t selling, why keep making it? I would have liked a more detailed explanation. This leaves the door cracked for Reddit theories and similar bullshit.

Pluribus - Vince Gilligan and Rhea Seehorn
Based on the stills they released, it should be a pretty wild episode.

Christopher Nolan's next film, The Odyssey
First 3 minutes were leaked on Reddit. It appears legitimate as one scene/frame also appears in the trailer. Not a fan of online leaks, but it gives very little away.

Ime was an emphatic no when asked if Adams would play on the second night of a back to back, so they need to figure something out. They’ve gotten shredded on defense without Adams. Capela’s contract is fine, but he’s not a back up center in the NBA.

Grande has grown on me. She’s too thin and appears to be Caucasian now, but she’s very funny with terrific comedic timing. I’m fine with her hosting every year.

Christopher Nolan's next film, The Odyssey
I don’t want to be put more pressure on it, but my expectation is this will be the best film in a generation.

Houston Texans 2025 Season Thread
What was their reasoning? They could win 12 games and still be stuck in the 7 seed. At New England, and then likely at Buffalo in 10 degree weather is a losing proposition.

What has struck me is that refuse to blame anything on Reed. I believe he had 8 turnovers in the South Carolina, Texas, and Miami games. Looch was especially vague. “He needs to run more with the rushing attack isn’t there… Needs to be earlier on the throw for the interception in the end zone.” No Reed needs to be replaced, or they should look at a transfer QB. This a is a program that sent out Heisman marketing materials on Reed before the Texas game. They’re delusional in all things, but their investment in Reed seems like a giant blind spot even for them. Methinks when Elko got his extension, they re-upped with Reed and now they’re stuck with him financially.

Jabari was -20 last night, and generally played like shit all week. Hopefully it’s an aberration, but as the Game Theory guys expertly laid out, Jabari’s contract has value if he’s the 4th or 5th best player on the team, but if he’s the 7th best player on the team it’s a bad deal. Players better than Jabari right now: Alpie KD Amen Reed Adams
