  1. It’s pretty fucked up, but in a subtle way. I like it. You guys seem more at home with a Fast and Furious marathon.

    Love me some pretentious cinemaphile smack, especially when it’s a cheap shot. I’ll say, Phantom Thread is best enjoyed on the big screen when you can be fully immersed. Great acting and eye candy. It will lose a lot on an airplane small screen, but can help put you to sleep.
  2. Although the name "Eskimo" was commonly used in Alaska to refer to Inuit and Yupik people of the world, this usage is now considered unacceptable by many or even most Alaska Natives, largely since it is a colonial name imposed by non-Indigenous people. Alaska Natives increasingly prefer to be known by the names they use in their own languages, such as Inupiaq or Yupik. "Inuit" is now the current term in Alaska and across the Arctic, and "Eskimo" is fading from use. The Inuit Circumpolar Council prefers the term "Inuit" but some other organizations use "Eskimo".

  3. The fascists have no interest in passing ANY meaningful immigration reform.  Solving a problem (that isn't that much of a problem, empirically) that is the key to them taking and holding power, and keeping the American people inflamed?  It would be political suicide.
    Can you imagine an America with a rational and balanced immigration policy?  What the fuck would the fascists run on?

    Legislation can mean accountability and rules that make it harder for them to just make shit up.

  4. At what point do they start checking tickets upon entering the fair? The last few years they have just waved everyone in. If you're just there with your kids to go to the fair, is it free admittance that day?

    Who gives a shit? Just lockdown the stadium. We probably have 5000 gate crashers
  5. Has it ever crossed your mind that people have the ability to move?  I haven't lived in Pflugerville for over a decade.  I'm so proud of you for being able to spell Pflugerville.  Keep up the good work!  

    What district do you live in? I live by Little Longhorn Saloon, a great place for duck shit bingo located near Soco just off Lady Bird Lake. I’m glad the yogurt shop murders were solved and that my homies, the Creek People, were not implicated. Maybe one day we can enjoy authentic brisket bbq at Bill Millers.
  6. The only thing that pisses me off(pun intended) is the restroom situation.  everything else I can deal with and is part of the experience.

    Tell that to the ladies waiting 30 minutes in line to piss.

    Team East Side - there were several moments when we were moments away from being crushed in the concourse. Also, no water to be found.

    I think we can all agree the Cotton Bowl is a shithole, but it’s our shithole.

  7. Did some people have a bad experience? Maybe, sure, whatever. Plenty of water vendors in sections 115-112 but YMMV.
    But overall the renovations worked wonders for the most important issue: getting people in and out of the stadium quickly. For proof, look at how full the stands were before the start of the game. In previous years, it took me 30-40 minutes to get to my seat, sometimes missing kickoff. This year, probably 10-15; legitimately did not know what to do with all of the free time.
    And judging by how full the stands were 5-10min before kickoff, my experience was not unique.

    Nah, many more people arrived in the stadium based on previous issues getting in so they entered earlier. The stadium should not be halfway full one hour before kick. I was amazed.
  8. Somehow with all the improvements,  it felt like a step backwards.  Can we not get a screen showing scores of other games? Maybe decent sound system to hear the announcers/refs? And fuck,  it is painful to maneuver that stadium. 

    Having shitty sound system is a feature not a bug for me. I dont care for stripper DJ giving me Texas FIght, nor was I sorry to not hear Carla Rae Jepson’s “Call Me Maybe” at 90 dbs

    The stadium is a shitshow and you have to plan accordingly, especially in warm weather. Eat early then snack right before. Take a good piss. Do your heavy drinking the night before. Wear cargo shorts to load up water. They will not say shit.

    Entry. Stalk your preferred entrance. Due to past years, the hot weather, and the 230 kick, too many people were in the stadium concourse. So, hang out in the shade, and go by 2pm or when the lines get too long.

  9. Mateer's decision making has been bad for several years now.  
    For some reason that has been portrayed by the media as him being an apex competitor instead of being someone who continually makes terrible decisions with the ball, some that work and some that bind his teams in the ass. 
    Then again, these are the same media experts who told us who the top quarterbacks in the NFL draft would be before a snap was taken in game action and they have proven to be spot on. 

    I liked the plays where Mateer would abandon the pocket, look downfield, and drift back into the pocket. It was like watching a car wreck in slow motion.

  10. Finally got around to Dog Day Afternoon.
    Pacino was great, obviously, but I was a little disappointed that Cazale didn't get to do as much.
    It's a very good movie, but I wouldn't rate it as high as other 70s classics like the two Godfather films, Chinatown, etc.

    Who would?
