  1. "you do not mess with the special investigators" seems like a phrase you'd put in to help create a drinking game. this is a nice show to watch in between slow horses/line of duty and going to sleep. and i mean that as a a compliment. sort of.
  2. rare that you can read an entire page of a thread and not even know what board you're on. well done.
  3. https://www.netflix.com/tudum/netflix-is-a-joke tickets on sale tomorrow for all shows at all ~30 venues.
  4. i already live in that universe. i saw it in the theaters and haven't given it another thought. actually, i think about it every time i'm scrolling through the guide and think it's beverly hills cop 2 but then look closer and see that it's 3 and keep scrolling. i have a feeling that this is going to be kinda like how michael scott described the evolution of john mclane. axel used to be a savvy detroit cop with street smarts who kinda played by his own rules and had that bugs bunny thing where he ran around and got away with stuff and left his counterparts (bhpd) chasing their tails. now it seems like he's gonna be an action hero. maybe he was in bhc3, but again, i don't recognize that movie.
  5. not to cloak up your cloak, but there were more trump voters in ca (2020) than any other state.
  6. watched the julia roberts thing. was it a great movie? no. but i was bored enough to watch it and it was marginally better than sleeping.
  7. thought there was a thread but guess not. saw a special screening last night at grauman's chinese + q&a afterwards with cooper and one of the producers.
  8. ok, i'm sure this has been addressed, but i haven't read about it. and fuck off to anyone who says, "why can't you just read the thread", because this shit is dense and moves like the wind. what are the rules concerning multiple transfers for a guy? i thought i remembered when this nonsense first started, it was like you could only transfer once and play right away. is this a covid thing, a grad transfer thing, or is it just the wild west and the ncaa can't stop shit?
  9. there was an ongoing debate on the west wing about whether smart presidents make good presidents. when asked "does it bother you that some of our smarter presidents have been some of our worst presidents?", seborn (rob lowe) says something to the tune of, "i don't care about that, when i'm looking for the guy, i start with the guy with the big brain." obviously there's a long history of tracking who's "smart" and who isn't, and i'm not interested in tests that go back before ww1. the ability to take in information, process it, and form an articulate response that is accessible to the american people is incredibly rare these days. that's why newsom and pete stand out so clearly. it should be the hope of every american that the president is, at the very least, "smarter than me". it's a low bar, but one that has been sorely neglected, while half the country seems to feel more comfortable with someone who's "as dumb as me". at this point, i'll take a great communicator who's smart enough to surround himself with intelligent people with good ideas. if the communicator is also smart and has good ideas, that's a fucking bonus. but it's so freaking sad that while some people wouldn't vote for pete because he was gay, plenty others wouldn't vote for him because he was too smart. and before people get their panties in a bunch, i'm talking about ind/republicans and focus group/cable news nonsense, not people on here. 2028 should be a lot of fun.
  10. love newsom but worry that a ca politician can win nationally. fox news has been poisoning the country against everything california for decades, despite there being more trump voters here than any other state. he definitely has the presidential voice, and much like pete, won't hesitate to go on fox news and eat their lunch for them. we should also throw josh shapiro into the mix, who is every bit as sharp but from the right part of the country. winning as a dem is all about the rust belt right now.
