  1. If for no other reason than he really, really does not like dogs.
  2. I have to use Regal out here because there is no alternative like AMC or Alamo for movies. The 30 minutes of previews are standard for them. I always show up around 25 minutes into the previews. This is definitely a movie I would NOT want to see in 4DX. I really like that kind of film, but not this one because I figured it would be a ton of seat shaking. I just watched it in RPX and it was fine. I just got in from this one and I still feel really good about having seen it. Some good life lessons in the film for anyone paying attention to things like that.
  3. As a kid I never liked the Superman movies. I was talking to my mom this evening about this and she never realized I didn't enjoy them because I never said anything. I really, really enjoyed this one though. Krypto was awesome. Having a Superdog made the movie for me. I had zero expectations going in, but I left the movie smiling. It seems like the goal of the movie was to show someone doing good deeds for no other reason than because they want to and that is who they are. I loved that aspect and can't wait for the next Superman movie.
  4. What this reminds me of is when you run across fans of some obscure band that wound up going mainstream. They got millions of new fans because more people were exposed to this cool music, but the original fans look at these new fans of the band, as well as the band itself, of being sellouts. I am going to watch because of Clark and if I can catch Bueckers when she has nationally televised games. Luckily I work with a woman who was a baller back in Palau and she represented her country on the court. We talk about a lot of players and she opens me up to the ones she really likes which is pretty cool. Clark is still why I watch, but knowing more from someone that played ball and loves the WNBA is cool.
  5. Really shows off the ball handling skills here. Make sure her open court awareness is set to zero. That was three double dribbles in possession. Jesus tap dancing Christ I would hide her from any exposure to young hoopers looking to emulate someone’s game.
  6. You know missing layups for you or I is whatever. Everyone that ever played basketball has missed them. However, NO ONE IS PAYING US TO REPEATEDLY MISS THEM. I mean how does her coach watch her make shooting a basketball look like she’s coming out of the trenches at the Battle of the Somme? It’s embarrassing for her and anyone that coached her that she cannot make the bunnies.
  7. If they’re going to do this they have to do it right. I want to see all of her creative ways to miss layups included in her arsenal.
  8. This cover seems, well, I don’t know what to make of it. Melo because of the memories of a volume shooter that never came close to winning an NBA title? SGA who does not seem to be all that well liked by anyone outside of Oklahoma? Reese instead of the reason millions more people watch the WNBA in Clark? I do not get this, but I also haven’t played an NBA video game in at least 15 years or more. Maybe their internal surveys said this would be a good cover I guess.
  9. Some of my professors work and teach classes from the museum. Really, really smart men and women that cover every imaginable aspect of the war and its aftermath. I do not like sitting in a traditional classroom, but I would make an exception for Rob Citino. Dr. Citino’s lectures are fantastic.
  10. Regrettably this is still happening in The Solomon Islands as well as other South Pacific locales. Neither the US nor Japan seem real interested in helping clean up the mess left behind so people continue to die each year from unexploded ordinance.
  11. He will not win another major. Barring any major injuries one of these two of Sinner and Alcaraz will win more majors in my opinion. Quite the lofty goal, but the men’s field has no one on their level right now.
  12. Alcaraz is the reason I started watching tennis again 3 and a half years ago so I’ll take him to beat Sinner. I hope he beats Sinner every single time they play in a major. To be 22 and going for a 3rd Wimbledon in-a-row is impressive.
  13. He is. It’s just a reference to some pictures he shared of a sailing trip he took in his younger days to The Marquesas.
  14. Suns are not a serious franchise. But I think we all knew that already. I eagerly await the next chapter of Beal’s career being spent playing alongside Harden and Leonard. Can’t imagine what might go sideways there.
  15. I think you know my man. Might be time for you and the family to take a new boat trip to Tahiti.
