I watched it the other night and enjoyed it. It's more clever and witty than laugh-out-loud humor, but worth a watch. Some of the relationship discussions felt pretty realistic and sad, but the movie did well walking that line between humor and their marital problems. I thought it was funny that the name of the restaurant was so similar to the pet store in Dumb and Dumber. Kate McKinnon wasn't in it a whole lot, but what's with her being some one-note weirdo sex pest character in every movie now? I feel like every time I see her, she's constantly hitting on someone inappropriately and making crude comments. Not that there's anything wrong with that as a character, but it's all she does. It's odd because she had a real range of characters on SNL, and I thought she would do more. I looked up the house that Theo built, and sadly it's not a real home. They built it as a set for the movie, but the style and design were very intentional. I found this article that highlights the details and choices for the architecture. The corkscrew shaped wine cellar was an interesting choice. Just an absolutely beautiful home and set, I think it will get an Oscar nom for that. https://fredericmagazine.com/2025/08/screening-room-the-roses/ The dinner scene at the end was hilarious. The part where the other people try to do the mean 'banter' reminded me of this ITYSL sketch:

No way would the Rangers trade him to Houston, or anyone else in the division. They sent him to the NL for a reason.

When they got it to 1, need to let Denver inbound and foul immediately for 2 FTs. Might have had a shot to tie it if there were 4-5 seconds on the clock instead of 2. -

Huge flop there by the Denver guy. 5 on Sengun -
But who can give us Zack Short vs the Dodgers numbers for 1 weekend each year?

The bill has several carve outs for things that can't be published, such as victim names, child abuse, pornography, active investigation material, National security issues, etc. Some have speculated that this is why Trump told Bondi to open an investigation into Democrats who are mentioned, so they can prevent the release of info he doesn't like. The game is far from over, but hopefully they start cracking more and fuckup their redactions.

Good win. The Cavs are a pretty good team, but still missing some key players. Mitchell was not good tonight, but credit to the defense for making him struggle so much. The Rockets seem like a legit #3 in the West, and with a bit of luck, they could make the WCF. -
The Worst Trade in NBA History: Luka traded for AD
Dutchrudder replied to Derka's topic in Basketball
I understand all that, and it is a truly lopsided trade, I just think the Lakers need to have some success with Luka before it is cemented in the #1 spot. The Celtics and Thunder both got their key pieces to championships from those trades. Neither of them win those rings without the trade, and both have the opportunity to win more in the future. I think Luka needs to be successful in LA before it is certainly "the worst trade of all time." -

Ah, I just figured it out. She reminds me of Amanda Peet. -

It actually would make a lot of sense for AIPAC Shakur to be involved with the IDFs primary honeypot scheme.

The Worst Trade in NBA History: Luka traded for AD
Dutchrudder replied to Derka's topic in Basketball
I think it kind of depends on how it goes for the Lakers. Trades like this need a component of it to generate at least a conference title to be "worst of all time". Like the Nets/Celtics trade resulted in the Celtics getting a championship out of it, which makes it way worse that they gave up so much and did fuck all with it. The Clips/PG trade is up there too, because now it also resulted in a championship, one that they certainly don't win without that trade. The Lakers need Luka to get some MVPs and make the Finals to truly seize that 'worst trade ever' status IMO. -
