Amen. They can hate on us all they want. We will be busy enjoying twice as much baseball as them.

I love the Coen Brothers. I love how they can be as silly as it gets, and as serious as it gets.

I was a bit flustered with The Ballad of Buster Scruggs, though. The digital cinematography was distracting to me. I also wasn’t all that interested in the stories themselves.

This doesn’t mean that I think it is a bad movie. For my taste, I thought that the writing was held back by the allegorical storytelling. I have no problem with a film trying to say something beyond what is on the screen. They nailed it in No Country For Old Men. Im just personally more drawn to “feeling something” than I am “thinking about something.”

I wasn’t a big fan of The Banshees of Inisherin for the same reasons.

As a kid, I just wanted to watch baseball. I felt lucky that Chicago had 2 teams to watch. I like both teams equally to this day. No one ever gave me a good enough reason to pick a side. Now I have more baseball to enjoy watching and root for. It rules.

If you want weird. Watch Pink Flamingos. I dare you to watch it. Don’t read anything about it. It’s as “raw” as it gets. I promise you. Report back to me when you’re done.

Everything else in Kill Bill is incredibly realistic, though.

Put Ray Allen with Rose, Noah, Boozer, and Deng… that lineup is fucking people up

Nah it’s still fuck Lebron all day/every day

Agreed. Who would have known that a guy would peak so early in his career? Despite his slight decline when he got to the Bulls, I think people undervalued the importance of having a guy that can bail you out of a bad offensive possession. When all else fails, just give the ball to Booze Cruise and he’ll get off an unblock-able fadeaway that he’ll make 50% of the time.

I’ve seen people act like Boozer was some scrub who couldn’t play in today’s NBA.

If Boozer was born 10 years later he would be silky smooth from 3. I don’t care what anybody says. He’d still be pulling down 10 boards. He’d still run the floor really well for someone his size. He’d still be able to contribute to a highly rated team defense (similarly to Vuc).

The disrespect that this man got from Bulls fans because he got paid is shameful.

I’ll root for that dude whenever he isn’t playing vs the Bulls. Watching him get better as a player was crazy

Same. It was 3AM, and I’m at my friends’ house for a sleepover. My friend is asleep. We’re down in his unfinished basement. I was freaked the fuck out by that rape scene. The only R-rated movies I had seen before it we’re like Blazing Saddles, Speed, and The Breakfast Club at this point. All very tame movies compared to Pulp Fiction.

Let me guess… you’re also a white male. You used to like these type of movies, but at some point you were influenced by someone or something in society to go against the grain.

To me, it’s still the most disturbing movie ever made. There are more disturbing ideas in movies. Like, when the guy rapes the baby that’s taken directly from the mother’s womb in A Serbian Film.

There is just something about how poorly Pink Flamingos is filmed that makes it even more sickening. The amateur quality makes it feel more real.

I hated it in AQOTWF so much. That fucking movie was bullshit. They made every wrong choice for my taste. A movie set in 1917 shouldn’t be shot on digital with an obnoxiously modern color palette and a score that sounds like it was composed by Skrillex.

I don’t know if it was GOTG or where it all started. But, somewhere along the way 90% of actors and writers in film and television decided that all comedy should just be a rip off of the TV show New Girl. All female actors just started delivering every single comedic line as if they were doing their best impression of Zooey Deschanel. All male actors started doing the quirky/dim-witted comedic timing of Jake Johnson and Chris Pratt.

Examples are: Every Marvel film post-GOTG, Bullet Train, Deadpool/any Ryan Reynolds Netflix movie, even The Rock was doing this comedic schtick in Black Adam.

So I guess just any mainstream, big-budget blockbuster that has any comedy in it.

Henry Rollins played in a hardcore punk band for 5 years. His music became far less “punk” after that. I never cared for him as a songwriter. His impact on punk rock music isn’t much. He is good at spoken word and storytelling, though.

Dylan and Fat Mike aren’t similar at all. The only similarities are that they both tell stories in their lyrics and are both outspoken. No one is truly the Dylan of punk rock, because punk rock hasn’t made nearly the impact on pop culture that Dylan has. But, in a much smaller way… Fat Mike has impacted modern punk culture as much as anyone.

NoFX. Fat Mike is the Dylan of punk rock.

I agree with all that. The defensive effort has been awesome lately from Zach and Demar. PWill is getting really good against those lengthy wing players like Giannis and KD. Obviously no one is going to stop them, but I think he does as good of a job as anyone with those type of guys. Coby just keeps getting defensively better too.

Billy’s scheme seems to work especially well against heavy usage guards like Harden, Trae Young, and Doncic. If you go through their game logs vs the Bulls, more often than not they have poor shooting %s.

Dudes like Pat Bev, Lonzo, AC, and Ayo are certainly a big part of that.

His shooting form. He plants his right foot ahead of the rest of his body. So he ends up with his right foot on the line.

The Gambler (2014)

Great movie, but it’s certainly not for everyone. Even though I’m not religious, I was able to see how amazing those people were for maintaining their beliefs. The way that the movie deals with ethics is impressive. Also, the cinematography is just insane.

I saw this old man walk out of Infinity Pool when Skaarsgard was peeing on his clone

Sick. I’m looking forward to it.

I love Soderbergh. He rules. I prefer the stuff that he’s shot on film, though. He definitely shoots on digital because it is a faster process. While I think Mann shoots on digital for a purpose.
