  1. The definitive documentary on the subject is That Guy...Who Was in That Thinghttps://m.imdb.com/title/tt2402200/?ref_=m_nmfmd_slf_13

     

    Mark Rolston is best known as Bogs, the rapist from Shawshank Redemption

    He tells a story about how his little daughter was sick and he was carrying her in the hospital elevator. This lady gets on and looks at him and screams, “You! You’re that horrible man!” as if he was playing himself in Shawshank.

    Todd Phillips has talent, so I’d be surprised if the movie’s pacing is a problem. Looks like a real movie and not a cartoon. Good for adults, but the lack of popcorn mindlessness will affect box office. Still, with an estimated budget of $55m, it should be fine.

    Not sure I saw any bullying. Looks like he’s been a victim of multiple aggravated assaults and robbery.

  3. Greg Davis had 40ppg offenses... Everyone hated him.

    Let's stick with 27ppg.


    When not enjoying a sizable talent advantage, Greg Davis had 20ppg offenses.

    Between 1979-2004, Texas was never shut out. Until Greg Davis got schooled by Stoops. UT had two guys named Vince Young and Cedric Benson on that team. Remember how bad Texas was at offense in the 80’s. They never got shut out.

    Iowa sucked at offense under Greg Davis because his teams were not loaded.

    Texas sucked at offense in 2010. They were exposed and talent-deprived. Davis relied on Colt McCoy’s pinpoint accuracy and off-schedule plays.

    Vince Young was the last offensive Texas player drafted in the first round in 2006.

    In Greg Davis’ offense, slants, crossing routes, pumpfakes, back-shoulder throws were constraint plays. Too risky. He’d bust them out in the 2nd half and it’d be like “holy fuck. what a genius!”

    F Greg Davis. Where’s our banner?

  4. I can’t get there on Syed didn’t do it. The whole Asia albi thingy seems shady and he still can’t give an accurate accounting of what he did that day. 


    What happens when a murder investigation doesnt get started for weeks. Witnesses, including Syed, have their days all mixed up. When it favored the state, they put them on the stand. When it favored Syed, it didnt. Under scrutiny, the entire cell phone record/Jay testimony fell apart.

  5. It was a good, if not great movie. I think it's pretty on par with the first Captain America movie and the other Phase I hero introductory movies.
    The CGI didn't look great in a lot of her flying scenes. Also it didn't seem like there was much character development going on. But other than that major concerns don't come to mind.


    Bad CGI and wooden Title character. Sounds good to great to me.
  6. The US steel tariff/Chinese soybean retaliation boycott will be THE definitive example of the negative effects of a trade war for like 50 generations of future economics students.


    I think that’s 8th grade social studies curriculum.

  7. There are a couple of actors that were so fucking annoying in a role that forevermore I want to punch them. That dude who plays Zuckerberg is one. Rachel McAdams in Midnight in Paris is another. Alicia Vikander in The Light Between Oceans is another. I probably have more that I can’t think of now.


    There’s a scene in Midnight in Paris where Owen Wilson wonders why he’s still with his McAdams, at the same time of her bending over grabbing something from the car. Great writing.
  8. Thanks, guys. I have a new argument to present to my friends that believe "unfettered free market capitalism" has no downsides.  Though they'll probably characterize a few hundred dead passengers as part of a "market correction" that will eventually stabilize (flight pun intended).  It seems like this should never have progressed pass point 1 above and we have the topic for the opening episode of DirtyMoney season 2.

    Oh go fuck yourself you sack of shit.  This IS regulation, and it failed.  The idea that free market capitalism doesn't care about quality control is so fucking stupid it could only come from you.  We're the most regulated nation of earth.  You can't even cut hair without a fucking permit.  And yet...government supervision continues to fail.  Weird.

    Go fuck your mother.

     

     

    This is a classic case of regulatory capture and abuse of monopoly power. Rage all you want in the Cloak Room.

  9. This. The idiot pilots are at fault.


    And this could be anticipated. A predictable complication of bad design. “Fuck, the pilots should be better! They screwed the pooch.” Same bullshit we’ve had since the first computers were put in aircraft.

    Bad design. Inadequate testing. Poor communication. Greed.
