  1. I think you’re right. The boss identifies Midori as Omi’s lone weakness, and he wants his top advisor working full time for him. So he removes Midori from his house. Cold blooded.
  2. Thanks for clearing that up on Blackthorne marrying Kiku. Fuji tells the boss to not allow the Anjin to marry a courtesan, and suggests Midori (spelling?), Omi’s wife. Fuji also alludes to Mariko suggesting Midori for Anjin-son’s wife before her death. The boss was seriously considering Omi divorce his wife and give her to the Anjin in the final chapter. I think there’s a brief allusion to Blackthorne marrying, but I didn’t pick up a definitive marriage to Kiku.
  3. I watched it again. The Baron is on screen for what 5 minutes tops? I’d have to double check , but there are 10+ chapters from the Baron’s POV in the book. Also Giedi Prime is depicted as peak Roman Empire in black and white. It’s supposed to be a polluted industrial hell hole. I’ve always imagined the planet as a giant oil refinery. Lynch’s version looked campy as hell, but it was more true to the book. Paul’s acceptance of Irulan is also problematic. He tells the emperor he’ll marry his daughter, but in name only. He’ll never consummate the marriage, and Chani shall be his consort and mother of his children. Paul and Chani just don’t seem to be clicking at the end of the film, which felt off given they’re much in love at the end of the book. Otherwise, I loved it. DV understands what Dune should look and sound like, and he built the films around this.
  4. Books: I believe Toranaga states in his inner monologue that he’s going to continue to burn Blackthrone’s ships as long as he needs to the Christian regents, and that he won’t be allowed to leave.
  5. It has some similarities to Shogun. I’d recommend it if you like this show.
  6. I listened to an interview with this guy on 610, and this is exactly what he looked like in my head.
  7. Rihanna 4th?! Come on man! Hathaway 2nd. Motherhood has been kind to her. Bullock 3rd. Blanchett was beautiful in Benjamin Button. I can’t remember finding her attractive after that movie. Anybody that has watched Nora from Queens can no longer see Awkwafina in sexual manner. That said when she her hair and make up are done she looks great.
  8. These assholes really believe we’re going to lose every SEC game don’t they? All I heard during rodeo was that Texas wasn’t SEC ready and it would take time for us to adjust. They’ve chosen to ignore the 2023 CFP appearance.
  9. It’ll be Maxey. Alpi missed too many games and the playoffs, but it’s good to be nominated.
  10. Poor follow up to the pilot. Is this a comedy? I guess they’re going for the same absurd dark comedy vibe as The Plumbers. - I guess they needed an age appropriate Asian woman so of course they cast Sandra Oh. Constance Wu is 42 so she also meets the criteria. She’s also much better looking and not annoying as shit in everything. - Downey warned about not going full regard in Tropic Thunder, so of course they guy elects to portray the professor as a flamboyantly gay man. - Captain is kind of grating as an always offended smart ass. - The squid story was pretty funny.
  11. The Athletic’s podcast was at 17. Maybe 19 if they really pushed it.
  12. A dream within a dream.
  13. Veal Marsala. Their Italian section is quite good. The original location was mostly Italian. The menu has changed quite a bit after looking at it just now.
  14. Is the Centennial shoot location the original on Guadalupe? Those bastards took my fake ID as a sophomore. I was trying to buy schnapps for an OU Weekend date that really didn’t drink. Massive fail. I was forced to shop there after turning 21 because they were the closest liquor store to West Campus with something resembling MSRP prices. Also my fraternity bought Keystone from them.
  15. Yep, the Wolves are a bitch to play against. Almost every Rockets possession against them was tedious this season.
  16. My parents moved up when I was a junior, and they adored the place. It had a very 70’s college vibe, so I’m not surprised.
  17. And… the Ohio State game will be at 11am too. Enjoy being rid of Fox after 2025.
  18. They’ve had some baddies on LHN. Sam, Kaylee, and Jane. They had another hottie last year or 2, but her name escapes me. This seems to be the LHN’s farewell. I hope Loeb, Robison, and Fozzy catch on at the mothership.
  19. So the Cowboys were reinstated? I noticed black hats firing the cannon today.
