  1. You should know better on that Ezra Brooks crap.
  2. Not much clarity on even a Season 2. The industry assumption is, hey it’s Netflix and they spent so much on B&W + Season 1 that they have to do a Season 2. I liked their adaption. It kept the story tight. You’d have to binge all 3 books to keep everything straight.
  3. I’m pretty much audiobooks only now. 3 Body Problem (Book 1) is about 9 hours. The Dark Forest (Book 2) is about 21 hours. Death’s End is almost 29 hours. B&W have a shit ton on finished source material to work with. 4-5 more seasons feels right to give it justice. I would suggest everyone in the thread read the books. The author Cixin Liu is a genius. Death’s End is the best book I’ve “read” in a very long time.
  4. Demeris is so cringe. Their stuffed baked potato was decent; but there so many other options near every location. Their catering business is thriving. I guess big companies like their invoicing/receivable payments system. Next time you’re looking at a sad office Domino’s party, go thank your accountants. On the other side of the coin, there are many Houston olds that loved Luther’s. They can still get their fix of shit bbq at places like Pappa’s and Demeris.
  5. About 40-45% into 3BP Death’s End. Again best of luck to B&W adapting it. I think we’ll get a conversation with The Ring. I’m sure it’ll look cool, but it’s the only cheap option to portray 4D space.
  6. Best guess is he missed the Kirby exit off of 59 North. The next exit is Greenbriar and it’s always backed up. That’s an easy 17 minute detour.
  7. Kevin Costner v Larry David for Sienna Miller is the movie we need.
  8. More for me. It’s steal at sub $50. The new standard is $10 per year in the barrel.
  9. Bold. Going full Dabo minus Jesus with 1/100th of the success.
  10. Calvin Murphy thinks they’ll be the 5 seed so you’re not on an island. As long as we’re not in the play-in, I’m good. I do think the Lakers will be better. Bron knows this is probably it, and we’re long overdue for another Rich Paul/Clutch “miraculous” trade. The Kings will probably be the only play-in team to run it back. New Orleans and GSW will be retooling if not rebuilding.
  11. Any reviews of Texas Boot Company store brand boots?
  12. Season 4 has a 92% Rotten Tomatoes critics score. They also made a shit ton of excuses for Issa Lopez.
  13. Any news there? It’s been a long time since he’s played basketball.
  14. I get wanting to stay home. Good for him. But he told IMG at one point he was coming and then pulled the rug out. He’s 16-17 years old, so it’s a very forgivable offense. But he should want access to IMG’s facilities, nutrition, and sports medicine programs to prepare for his football career.
  15. Williams bitched out on attending IMG, right? Ball hasn’t been good at football since the mid-1990’s, the Casey Hampton years. Turning down IMG to stay at Ball is a red flag. He should want to be developed and compete against the best.
  16. I never understood taking Blackshire or their plans for him. My best guess is that Banks wanted him for special teams, and the Texas staff sold him on a chance to play Mike. When he figured out Mike wasn’t happening, he bounced.
  17. Glaser killed. Holy shit what a great set. Hart was routinely funny. The roast is 3 hours without commercials. Just way too long. I would recommend fast forwarding through all of the teammates’ segments except for Edelman. Most of it was some NFL Honors corny bullshit mixed with dick jokes that the writers wrote for them. Gronk and Belichick were both disappointing. I guess Rich Eisen has to be careful because he’s still employed by the NFL, but I think he would have been better than many of the roasters. I’m glad Boston fanboy Bill Simmons either wasn’t there or wasn’t invited. I never saw him on camera. But this won’t stop him from spending 12 hours breaking down the roast on his podcast.
  18. I think she signed a 2 season deal, but yes Good Lord indeed.
  19. Edelman killing. Didn’t see that coming.
  20. Bert Kreischer bombed. Unexpected. Segura sucks so that was expected.
