  1. I've always thought it was weird how scared of him everyone is. He's like 160 pounds, short and waddles. I have to remember it takes active suspension of belief to remember he's supposed to be this extreme Billy bad ass.
  2. The episode moved at a blitz pace because Ted was hardly in it. He bogs the show down, which is weird because he’s the titular character.
  3. Maybe the same reason there is the Indiana Jones Stunt exhibit thing at Disney World Hollywood Studios?
  4. ehhhhhhhhhhh, maybe not now, eh?
  5. 90% of VC and IB money is going into AI, AGI whatever you want to call it right now. That's scary in and of itself.
  6. Good question — I’ll review it tonight. If what you imply is true and I can cancel youtubeTV, you will have unlocked some value in this hidden inefficiency and I’ll venmo you 10% of June-Dec fees I would have paid to Google as a commission ($56). Lol :-9
  7. I’ve been watching I love Lucy and Sanford and Sons on TVLand. Those shows put Ted Lasso to much, much shame.
  8. Texas Rangers baseball can only be viewed on Fubo and Bally Sports network from what I’ve seen…
  9. I've more or less agree with you entirely up to this point, but what are you talking about here in the bold? She didn't have sex with the guy and even if she did, I don't think that constitutes what you are characterizing her as IMO. I mean, I get not liking her character or character arc and plot.
  10. We only have FuboTV for the Dallas Stars and Texas Rangers. It's the Fubo + YoutubeTV that make the bulk of the costs to your point ($150 or so) but they are also the subs that get the most use by a lionshare.
  11. To your point about not being about price anymore, I have FuboTV, YouTubeTV, Disney+, Hulu, Prime Video, HBOmax, Netflix & AppleTV which, in sum, costs me more than I ever paid when it was just a DirecTV + premium channels bill ($100-200/month).
  12. Read some numbers today that don't bode well for our writer friends and the writer side of the strike: Disney's earnings were a big miss and bad, going to cause more belt-tightening on shows and movies as they are still on a path to profitability. ESPN and ABC are bleeding Disney dry. Hulu was flat (no growth), which has been their story for years (and Disney on tap to finish acquiring them) Cord Cutting is killing TV's/Shows. Comcast led the way with the loss of customers.
  13. I definitely didn't notice it last episode and that would mean if it was in the last episode it wasn't ham-fisted in our faces, which these writers can't refrain from, so I think it must have been 2 or 3 episode back which prompted my commented of hoping they abandoned it mostly.
  14. I, like the show it mercifully seems, had forgotten and abandoned the psychic/Rebecca side plot.
  15. As someone who just watched a New Hope, 100% all of this. I'm sure in 1977 it was bleeding edge stuff and just mind blowing, etc. But revisiting it is 25% cheese, 25% cringe and 50% cool. Also, about the horrible lightsaber duel, I read this online, not sure of it's veracity: The REAL WORLD answer is that the guy in the Vader suit was a big, lumbering guy who didn’t move real fast. On top of that, he lied about having a background with sword fighting to get the part, so they expected a better duel before they realized David Prowse was completely unskilled, and the fight we saw got put together on the fly.
  16. Yep the insurance is a huge cost people don't realize goes into HOA. Also, I thought the same thing as everyone else ("what are we paying these yahoos for, they just mow and blow and once or twice a year trim some trees and maintain common areas") and so my first order of business was to shop around and get quotes. I was quickly humbled-- if you haven't shopped for landscaping lately, like everything else these days, it ain't cheap. And this was like 5 years ago pre-covid pricing. We ended up keeping the same company we'd been using for a decade and later found out that even the high price everyone complained about was below the market of what they usually charge as we were grandfathered in.
  17. This was me at my first house, but VP. I tried to explain to everyone the benefits of outsourcing it and because the dues went up like $30, it was defeated in a landslide. The HOA I am in now is very chill and as long as I have my trashcans in/hidden and guests don't park facing the wrong side of the street, I've never had any issues and I was concerned because my kid wanted a basketball goal and wasn't sure how that would play out but it's been fine.
  18. Read that Adidas was going to donate all the Kanye stock and write down the loss.
  19. “Underground sex and drug parties for the elite” makes it sound very conspiracy theory clickbait.
  20. Greg! Are you faking doing coke? Greg!
  21. Man, this. The only time I've gone to a Walmart the past 15 years was between the hours of midnight and 5am and COVID-19 killed that perk. He lost his hearing well into being a famous, accomplished musician, right?
  22. OKE was down, but Magellan was up like 13% from what I saw. Not sure what that means either. A friend used to audit (PwC) OKE and he always talked how brutally cheap and smart OKE always seemed to be, so I tend to trust their judgment.
  23. I'm really late to the party but I've never been a SW nerd but my kid has liked it for a while and I started watching them together, we've seen from Ep1 -3, Obi Wan series, and Ep4. I thought the light saber and fight scenes in the prequels were awesome. Darth Maul vs Qui Gon and Yoda vs Dooku and Obi Wan vs Darth Vader were all awesome. The Obi Wan vs Darth Vader fight scene was comically bad. Two stiff 60 year olds standing 4 feet from each other, stationary, and barely moving their swords. Also, I'm struck with how ANH/Ep4 feels very rushed and thin on world-building and character development. Maybe it wasn't that way in the late 70's cinema world and maybe it's because the following movies fleshed it out more. Oh, and Reva was the absolute worst. Followed by little girl Leia. Obi Wan was cool and awesome though
  24. Trust the process. This season is fantastic still. My theory is that Moss' dad has some technique or psychological torture skill to hypnotize people (e.g. journalist speaking German) and the last two episodes was him screwing with Barry's mind, and projecting what a sordid, sucky future would look like, so to play ball and confess and cooperate.
