Most annoying Christmas Movies
I’d like to humbly submit Oh. What. Fun. The only people that could possibly like this movie are retirees with a crush on. Michelle Pfeiffer. Brutally unfunny , set in Houston, and of course they shot every single frame in Atlanta. They didn’t even both with some establishing shots of Waterfall Park or the Sam Houston statue. And worst of all the theme is the most tired Christmas tradition of all. Nobody appreciates how hard moms work to make a nice a Christmas for their families.

Marcello might be worse than Wickline. You could certainly have the conversation.

Don’t say I didn’t tell y’all on Ashley Padilla. Break-out star.

Jay Kelly. What a beautiful, grounded, movie about life and regret from the least likely sources you’d expect. Bravo.

I love it. Great toasted barrel expression, but I understand some of the varying single barrel reviews. As Bozo has laid out so many times, opinions vary with single barrels.

2025-26 Houston Rockets Thread - Back to Contention?
I’m OK with how the game went last night. I expected a 40 burger from Harden. That would have sunk us. Thank goodness Treasures is open until 4am and Ty Lue has no balls to police that shit. I didn’t see Zubs beating our ass like a drum and the Clippers playing with max effort on defense all game. I think the team maybe wanted to win one for Harden. I’d still be nervous as shit about the OKC getting their 2026 pick. Kawhi is one bad mental health week away from shutting it down. Harden can ball out all he wants, but he can’t save them from the lottery.

They’re going to full on blow Amazon and the networks for quality games. Not surprised. The Pels will need a crazy game from Queen to keep it close, but we are 1000% losing the back to back in Denver. Scheduled losses are a fact of life in the NBA.

Mom and pops have a place in this world. Especially with their attention to store picks that the big box stores have no interest in. But they shouldn’t do this to their regulars. I’m sure y’all would gladly pay $400 cash for BTAC. There’s still making money, and their regulars get a terrific bottle. Win-win.

Sherrone Moore's Michigan Meltdown - Staffers, Breakups, Extortion, Cover-Ups, Firings, Knives, Assaults, Breakdowns, Arrests
Well Michigan has their media people rowing in the same direction. Eisen: I didn’t know anything. I heard a horrible rumor that I couldn’t believe. But I didn’t know anything. Portnoy: Personal issue. Not an institutional issue. Nothing to see here. Move on everybody.

I gave them the puppy dog eyes at Smith Street today and they pulled a MWND for me. $157 after taxes. No complaints

Making piggy come to Austin twice in 2 years is a nice touch. They begged for that game and they should pay dearly for it.

Bulleitt BIB is nothing special. I’m pretty sure I still haven’t finished a bottle I opened months ago.

Not necessarily a generational thing, but definitely a hard ass parent thing. I graduated from UT in 2009, and my dad is the Old Man.

A guy on another message board admitting to spending $22k in 9 months at the Midtown Spec’s. He’s had some nice Vault pulls, but he’s not exactly blowing me out of the water and I’ve spent a small fraction of that. There’s some bottles like Heaven Hill 19 or OF Presidential that know I’m never going to get and that’s just fine.

RIP Mr. Limmer and I’m glad they got a conviction.

Not a bad week. WLW and Lot B. About what I usually get for Christmas. No idea when I can pick it up. Their turnaround is is averaging 10 business days.

Pluribus - Vince Gilligan and Rhea Seehorn
Would be very Gilligan. Like I said, the dude isn’t interested in some Independence Day type show.

Pluribus - Vince Gilligan and Rhea Seehorn
Gilligan was inspired by 2 things. The rise of AI and Covid. AI is obviously the virus.The ensuing disaster is Covid. Some people like AI. Some people liked staying home during Covid. Let’s call them an analogue for the Others, people like Laxmi that want to join the hive mind, and Others sympathizers like Diabate. Vince is asking what it means to be human. If we let AI do everything for us, are we still human? If Carol asked the Others (AI) to bury Helen while she drank iced tea and chatted with Zosia (ChatGPT) on the back porch, is she really mourning Helen? She did it herself with immense pain and exertion. She bled, sweated, and cried over Helen’s grave. She suffered. She mourned. She achieved emotional closure.
