    So......Casey Casey Martinez?
  2. It was a simpler time during Watergate when the largest media organization in the country wasn't assisting in both the crime and the cover up. Still not convinced anything will ever come from this. Fox News is finally fulfilling its mission and doing exactly what it was created to do.
  3. I missed the 10 month old thread on the cursory search. Mods are free to merge if they want.

  5. SIAP. 'King of the Hill' to Return in Series From Original Creators' New Animation Company 'King of the Hill' to Return in Series From Original Creators' New Animation Company It looks like fans of the long-running animated series King of the Hill have reason to celebrate, as it has just been announced that the series will be revived twelve years after its final episode aired, according to The Hollywood Reporter. Original series creators Greg Daniels and Mike Judge will return to oversee the series through their new animation company, Bandera Entertainment. There are more than a dozen projects in the works under the newly formed animation company, but perhaps the most notable is the King of the Hill revival. The series originally aired from 1997 until 2010 and followed the banal yet entertaining exploits of the humble citizens of Arlen, Texas. Upon its premiere in 1997, the show was an almost immediate success, and offered a unique insight into the middle-America mindse, led by the moral compass of propane and propane accessory salesman Hank Hill. No details were given about plot or production details for the revival. The news comes along with news of several other projects from the new animation company, including the upcoming Netflix series Bad Crimes. This also follows news of the revival of Judge's series, Beavis and Butt-Head, which was announced before the formation of Bandera. Beavis and Butt-Head was the MTV series which launched Judge into the mainstream, and much of its original content was used for inspiration for King of the Hill. After both Beavis and Butt-Head and King of the Hill, Judge went on to create Silicon Valley for HBO, a series which plays with Judge's own experience working in Silicon Valley. Daniels has had extensive experience within animation aside from King of the Hill. Prior to joining the FOX show, Daniels worked on The Simpsons for several years, and currently, he works on the Netflix series Space Force starring Steve Carell. No details regarding the plot for the King of the Hill revival have been released, but as Daniels said of his work for Bandera Entertainment, “[w]e were very excited to go into different tones and different styles and try to expand the animation art form." Maybe, then, there are some exciting changes in store for our favorite Arlenites. (Or are they Arlenians? The world may never know). All seasons of King of the Hill are now available to stream on Hulu.
  6. All night TV before streaming came along. Streaming services will usually stop at some point on its own to ask if you're still watching. I'm sure if I ever get married again I'll have to adjust my sleeping habits but for now savage confirmed.
  7. And certain people that vote the way you do keep trying to change that. Hence the need to act.
  8. It's interesting that you'd frame a measure that way only meant to make voting equally as easy, fair, and accessible for every American, regardless of their class, income, zip code, or capabilities. I'm not exactly sure why Republicans like you feel the need to inject race into everything.
  9. Very weird. It's almost as if Republicans know they need to be able to maintain the ability to fuck with the vote in order to hold on to power. It's almost like in addition to just the normal stuff like trying to slow down and restrict certain populations from voting they now desperately want to be able to just overturn elections when everything else doesn't work. It's almost as if they know they and their "policies" aren't popular enough to win on their own.
  10. Usually something light like a sitcom and something I've already seen so I don't care when I end up sleeping through 2 or 3 episodes before Netflix or Hulu asks if I'm still watching and inevitably shuts it down. IASIP, Cheers, Taxi, Frasier, Friends, Seinfield, The Simpsons, Happy Endings, KOTH are all shows to fall asleep to. Back in the day in my 20's and before streaming I'd always fall asleep to Adult Swim on Cartoon Network. TBS used to also be pretty reliable with a steady stream of 90's and 00's sitcom reruns like King of Queens. Although it would sometimes be jarring when the 4:00 paid programming shows would come on and wake you up because they'd be twice as loud as the normal shows.
  11. I really had to push through to finish Maid. It felt like a it could have been a movie rather than a series. Or they could have at least trimmed a few episodes of fat off.
  12. First day since I started playing I couldn't get to the final answer. This after yesterday getting it on the second guess and thinking "this game is too easy." Wordle 213 X/6 ⬜⬜⬜🟦⬜ ⬜🟧⬜⬜⬜ ⬜🟧🟧⬜⬜ 🟧🟧🟧⬜⬜ 🟧🟧🟧⬜⬜ 🟧🟧🟧⬜⬜

    Justified

    I haven't read the source material, but doesn't this take place several years later in Florida and Detroit? Doesn't sound like they'll have to account for Art or anyone from Kentucky not being in this one. Could just be Olyphant and an entirely new crew, which I'm fine with. Boyd was amazing as was the entire first series, but his arch was complete. No need to keep going back to the same well.
  14. I can't really agree. I think it was the best streaming service for years but has gotten progressively worse with original content while other platforms have stepped up their game. At this point I don't really watch one more than the other, but Hulu is at least an equal to Netflix for me. I like that a ton of stuff on regular TV/cable can be watched on Hulu a day or so after it airs. Netflix, Hulu, and HBO Max are all top tier and basically equals for me. I like Marvel and Star Wars okay, but not enough to justify owning Disney+ when it seems like that's the biggest selling point for the service for an adult without kids at home.
  15. Yeah, but that's kind of been Scream's thing since the first one. Spoilers below (including who the bad guy is)

    Justified

    I know he's a bit much in real life, but I didn't realize people had an issue with his acting in Justified. I thought Rapaport was fine.
  17. If I recall correctly it ran under his wife's car when she was leaving the house one day and she didn't see it. Truly fucking tragic and I can't imagine having two things like that happening back-to-back and keeping it all together. I can't remember him ever being anything other than an angry, toxic shitposter, but I tried to give him more leeway and avoided butting heads with him as much as usual this past year. He made it difficult though.
  18. Agree that the rape wasn't ambiguous from his perspective either for today's standards, but for the time period and the way he interacted with all women you could see how it would not seem like rape to him. It's been a hot minute since I've seen it now, but I feel like her perspective really drove home what a hotheaded loser Damon's character actually was and how he was only ever mistreated or acting honorable in his own eyes. His misfortunes were mostly self-inflicted and his wife saw that.
  19. Yeah, I don't believe you. The only reason I singled out your supply chain comment and none of the others is that I actually do work in the industry and have for the better part of the last decade. So I asked you for specific details on what this administration's done that you think has led to a supply chain crisis, because I actually do deal with this firsthand every day, and you came back with "hE's PaYiNg PeOpLe NoT tO wOrK" which is pretty much exactly the type of moronic mush brained Fox News talking point non-answer I expected you to come back with. So again, you're talking out of your ass and know nothing.
  20. So you don't know anything about the shipping and transportation industry and you're just talking out of your ass? Got it.
  21. Am I the only one who doesn't give a shit about who wins the Heisman anymore? It's a hype award reserved for QBs and RBs on playoff teams. Occasionally someone outside of that box will get it, but it's not common. It hasn't been a "best overall player" award in God knows how long. Bryce was as deserving as anyone based on those metrics alone. Plus he actually is really good. Best player in the nation? Not likely. But good enough.

    Covers Good and Bad

    Every now and again I always find myself revisiting these two covers performed by The National.
  23. Young Pam Anderson before getting any work done > Lily James > Post-op Pam Anderson
  24. Exactly. It easily explains away some of the stolen election conspiracy theorists' arguments as well. "Well why did Biden win in states where Republicans won down ballot?" Because tons of those people weren't voting for Democrats, but they were voting against Trump. "Do you really believe someone like Joe Biden could have got more votes than Obama?" Yes. Nevermind that the voting population is always growing, but because millions of Romney and Bush voters also voted against Trump and for Biden. Probably a bunch of people who don't regularly vote went out and voted against Trump and for Biden. Yes, we likely are.
