  1. I guess The Notebook. It’s the Cadillac of Nicholas Sparks films. Jesus Christ, what a sad ending.

    Honorable mention: Safe Haven. It takes itself way too seriously. Peak Julianne Hough hotness, and her alcoholic ex-husband is just so hilariously over the top evil.

    Spoiler

    Cobie Smulders as a ghost encouraging Hough to bang her widowed husband was really funny.

    Were you guys ever fans of the Roxbury skits with Will and Kattan?

    I always laughed, but I love Farrell. I think they toed the line pretty good between creepy and rapey. The film waters them down and leans into the silly. It’s a better movie if they’re cokehead hanger ons of Emilio Estevez.

    I thought it might age better compared to the sequel trilogy. Lucas at least gets credit for trying something different. The dialogue, Jar Jar, and some of the acting based on the terrible dialogue are really the only parts of Phantom Menace I take issue with.

    Take Jar Jar and that dumb ass ground battle out of Menace and it’s a pretty solid flick. 

  4. Critics were very careful to not criticize Season 4. The Ringer’s The Watch was the only major outlet I came across to subtlety pan the season and pick apart the finale. 

    People will forget about the finale in a couple years, read the critics’ reviews, and there will be a second life of WTF did I just watch?

    Haven’t seen a big W12 in a while.

    The liter was a nice surprise. It was cold so I think they just got it in.

    Weller Millennium and OGD16 seem like they will be firmly in my wheelhouse… wonder how silly pricing will be…

    I could see OGD16 being “attainable”. Knob 15 wasn’t extremely hard to find, and Knob 18 spent some time on the shelf outside of Houston. Many people won’t touch Beam. 

    They could price Millennium like Double Eagle and it would still sell out. Agreed with BigD, the plebs will never see it. It’ll be a restaurant or bar only thing.

    I'm taking my older kid to see Phantom Menace today. Yeah, the prequels aren't great put there's nothing like seeing the Wars in a theater. There's supposed to be a preview of the Acolyte at the end. I believe it's the fight scene between the knife girl and Trinity. 

    1) Empire 

    2) Return of the Jedi

    3) Rogue One

    4) New Hope

    5) Sith

    6) Phantom Menace

    7) Force Awakens

    8 ) Clones

    9) Last Jedi

    10) Skywalker

    Anyone try aging their own whiskey?

    Been reading forums where people are buying small charred oak casks (1-3 gallons), filling it with vodka and letting it age. Because the ratio between the surface area and liquid is much higher, a year in the small cask is equivalent to ___ years in a standard cask.

     

    Experimenting is totally up my alley, but don’t want to spend $ if it’s gonna taste like crap.

     

     

    In my experience, you have to rotate the cask once a day or it leaks. Yield is also very poor. You’re going to lose 30% to the barrel. 

    If you want to dip your toes into experimenting, I’d suggest a mason jar, BT White Dog, and some charred staves. 

    Most Whiskey Cakes have a cask on location. I’d ask them for tips. 

  9. I’m glad it’s over so the cowboy hat can work on something else. 
     

    Some notes: 

    - Enough with the crash landings. If the good guys crash land in every single episode of every single Star Wars vehicle it eliminates any sense of dramatic tension. We know they’ll miraculously survive and walk away. 

    - Same goes for the monster fights.

    - Same for prisoner rescues. It started in the original and they just can’t quit it. I understand if they want to pay homage for a single episode, but this is multiple seasons of Filoni’s work now where the central plot point is rescuing a prisoner.

    Apparently you have forgotten what playing them was like. 

    THEY’LL NEVER SHUT UP!

    If we lose to them: they won’t shut up. If we beat them: they won’t shut up. If a meteor strikes: they won’t shut up. They’re the most annoying fanbase in America. Everyone hates them.

    We should have only agreed to join the SEC if we never had to play them again. This is equivalent to agreeing to having regularly scheduled root canals, except the dentist will constantly make us chew on chunks of ice while our mouths are healing. 

    This was never going to happen. TV wants the game.
