  2. Had the exact opposite opinion. Irishman was overly long and was one of my least favorite Scorsese if not the worst IMO. The de-aging was absurd. It was run of the mill mob movie.
  3. Better than Dune but I didnt see that in the theater. A near perfect movie
  4. and if my grandma had wheels she’d be a bike.
  5. The lack of accountability after the fact is the worst aspect of this whole thing. That hundreds of trained LEOs stood by and ignored their training is difficult to comprehend. That the general public already knows massive fuckups occurred because it is self-evident that you dont let kids bleed out and you go after an active shooter. We know it. They know it. We know they know. They know we know they know they fucked up. That this report comes out is infuriating.
  6. I’m largely unimpressed with his skills but thats what you pay a starter there.
  7. On the Mt Rushmore of the parody genre. No shame there. Ive got Knight’s Tale
  8. Trump Born in New York Thinks Texas is just desert with tumbleweeds and cowboys that ride horses
  9. Il Postino starring Maria Grazia Cucinotta
  10. hundreds of millions. With him as governor, we’re in a perpetual state of emergency
  11. Didnt see that coming, especially Mitchell, who didnt do much after the catch all year. Stand corrected. Good luck to them.
  12. I was thinking same thing. Looked anemic after the catch. Good catch radius and hands, big body. Good for him.
  13. Ill take 100 jardiance commericals over each dad bod speedo guy, which isnt going away
  14. At 2am, not a lot of options available. Sure be nice to get introduce to a Surly 10 at 10pm, but like many things in Austin, starved of federal and state infrastructure funding for decades, NIMBYism, poor regional and local planning and lack of congressional representation, we’re stuck with what we have.
  15. Dont worry. Fast X.2 is coming out soon.
  16. Tapa not working and is not in registry. Did I miss a memo?
  17. I stand corrected on S4 > S2
  18. In that “more gun laws” is only said and not signed into law, then I agree with you.
  19. There was some quality setup and atmosphere in early episodes of S4, with Jodie Foster bringing the heat with a masterclass in expletive ranting. Then her character turned dumb, unzipped her fly with info about the mining corp, got bitch-slapped by them, changed her mind, then another character abruptly changes directions by murdering everyone. Think they ran out of episodes to tell this story after realizing they put too much atmosphere and back story in the first couple. Now I dont care but I was watching intently before everything unraveled and dead ended. Now the duo is hiding another homicide then they think they’re gonna find the killer and bring them to justice? And who’s gonna do this when the mining company controls Alaska and gets away with murder? So what if you find something down there? s2 started slow, suffered greatly from every VV and Kelly Reilly scene (unwatchable), and was a dud outside of a few set pieces.
  20. zTejas is action star Jason Statham
  21. I dont see the connection. In context, militia is like 50% of the text. You have to revise its interpretation to make it relevant and do some mental gymnastics to apply it to more circumstances than having rights to carry for service in militias and being able to be trained and outfitted (well-regulated) without impediment by the government. Phrases have meaning. i.e - I enjoyed your mom’s company…in bed. Remove “in bed”. That phrase drastically changes and limits what it means. The 2nd amendment has an “in bed” qualifier both literally and in framers intent. I’m no lawdog, but I’m more inclined to side with 1800-1990 scotus over Rehnquist/Roberts courts on gun regulation (aside from the weird decisions that cropped up). IMO, 2nd amendment was redefined at the close of the 20th century by rightwing activists. How is that even debateable?
  22. Back then in Oklahoma, 50 looked like 80, but also agree that from an artistic and authenticity standpoint, Leo and DeNiro were too old. But it probably would not have been greenlit for theatrical release without them. Not to fanboy too much, but PTA or Coens would have nailed an adaptation revolving around the Osage undercover work, which could have weaved FBI and Osage seamlessly. It would have been true crime, but have heart and not have glorified the US govt involvement, or put glamorous actors portraying evil characters. And it might have been difficult, but I was surprised Burkhart reveal was so early. But Scorsese took a different path and it worked in its own way.
  23. But the 2nd amendment doesnt say that, that wasn’t the original intent, and prior to 1990 and for 200 years thats not how courts interpreted it. We banned the shit out of guns, with broader authority given to States. Congress can set the number of SCOTUS seats. Should democrats secure control over both bodies, they should ignore the gentlemen’s agreement and use their authority to set the number of seats. There is no unspoken rules about these things anymore. And it’s not even unethical. It’s authority they have. But it’s largely academic, If we talking moving our country to being a functional democracy, there’s about a dozen major things that need to change.
