  1. I agree the plot is stumbling towards a pretty common "meh, that was OK" movie territory. But it's still a good watch, there are no wasted scenes or eyeroll dialogue.
  2. Hell, even 2012 did it better. Day After Tomorrow would be a best picture candidate next to Greenland. Not that I was expecting much, but it was quickly obvious they weren't gonna stretch the CGI budget. Lots of distant shots of destruction, like it would be playing on a little TV in the room. I fast-forwarded through almost all dialogue after the first 30 minutes or so
  3. Show has been really good imo. I'm from Philly and now live here as well. The accents are pretty accurate, but not EVERYONE talks that way all the time, even in the small towns. This is also true:
  4. Chelsea with two important head to head wins over City recently, they'll be confident going into the CL final. Pep had an odd lineup out there today, and the guys victimized most on the two goals will not likely be on the pitch in Istanbul.
  5. This is what I've been thinking for a while. I understand not putting firm plans in place when there are still medical crises popping up around the country. But at some point, a lot of venues will be able to go from 0 to 100 percent right away. Why would they and the bands pass up good money? I'm mainly talking venues smaller than 5K or so. Those that survived this long will surely do whatever it takes to put shows on quickly. Unless there's some Live Nation fuckery going on where they actually want venues to fail and won't allow bands to book yet.
  6. LOL, I heard that Latino bit too...amazing how we probably would have thought nothing of it a few years ago (maybe one year?) Pep needs to get DeBruyne off, the ref is agitated and don't want your future in his hands
  7. Oh my - ESPN's 86th prospect watching picks in the 180s go by
  8. Still 20ish minutes, probably gonna be a few more quality chances
  9. Too high for a header, too far ahead for a sliding kick. But the keeper had to worry about both, and it just spin in
  10. So far, this looks more lopsided than a typical City hit-the-wall-in-the-UCL game. They don't usually have so much trouble just getting possession and making a pass or two. I'm sure they'd have taken 1-0 even before the game started, but it's not gonna stay that way unless they figure some shit out.
  11. Yeah I was just going to post this prosecution closing is really drawn out. Sounds like a lot of redundant points.
  12. Yeah, these threads used to quickly turn into dick-measuring about who owns what antiques and how they can be modified today. And saying thank God the shooter didn't know how to [something about the gun or his tactical strategy] or else way more people would have died. And of course "mental illness!"
  13. Top assistants learned under Rick Barnes, Bill Self and Larry Brown. Pretty sure these guys know what to do in terms of 21st century recruiting. Especially here in the NCAA's no-enforcement era.
  14. Yep, 15 minutes in and it's 1-0 Dortmund which would advance if that holds up
  15. City starting XI suggests Pep is looking to advance 0-0, which I think has burned him in past CLs
  16. Maybe he'll be declared out in the runoff election
  17. A teacher who lost family members to COVID, with a health care worker as catcher
  18. Concrete Cowboy was well done, if a bit predictable. Partially true story of urban horse riders in north Philadelphia facing land development one on side and neighborhood drugs/crime on the other. Idris Elba, Method Man, and the Stranger Things kid star. One review said it would have been better as a documentary, which is probably true. They actually do use a few real-life riders from the area, who give interviews over the end credits.
  19. Fuck COVID for having clubhouses still closed to media, would love to see the Philly and national media let loose on the Braves before the Saturday game. There might actually be some good takes.
  20. They could have issued a statement of disagreement, mention the economic impact and leave it at that. Leave out the bullshit about the voter rights "discussion" since they obviously would prefer nothing more be said, ever. And not use the term voting "opportunities" which sounds like a right wing dog whistle.
  21. Pathetic statement by the Braves. Keeping it in Atlanta would provide "a platform to enhance the discussion?" Sorry, Chipper, but MLB just enhanced the discussion on a national level. And they say voting "opportunities" instead of "rights"...I guess that's gonna be the euphemism now.
  22. They're a big "keep it in the family" school (same as Duke). Probably strong consideration for Steve Robinson or Hubert Davis from their current staff. Buzz Peterson and King Rice are former players still pretty successful at other schools. Somehow Larry Brown's name will be thrown in as well.
  23. Since we don't have a women's tourney topic... ICYMI - she suggested the NCAA stop testing for Final Four specifically because players who test positive should still be allowed to compete for the championship.
