I voted online but Poltergeist vs Tremors?
I would have loved to have seen Tremors make a deeper run but damn if it didn't get slotted against a top 5 out the gate.

They have great fast food burgers but the price really just isn't worth it. I probably only go once or twice a year
I'm with you. I like 5 guys burgers and fries. Is it the best burger? No, but it's a certain "type" of burger that I like occasionally. Sometimes you want a double patty grease bomb and enough salty fries to permanently clog an artery. I'm kind of glad they're extremely overpriced. That way I don't eat there more often. If it were $10 for a combo I'd weigh 300 lbs.

We just went to the moon and back. We streamed every second live for the world to see - for free!
We're kicking Iran's arse and helping our boys Israel.
We're assisting Ukraine and giving the finger to Putin.
We've kidnapped the president of Colombia and are holding him trial for all the drug bullshite.
We've killed a Cartel kingpin.
We're hosting the World Cup this year, and the Olympics in 2 years.
Apparently we're the only country in the world who gives a frick and is actually awesome. :usa:

re: You winning the Masters if you start from edge of green?
Posted by BitBuster on 4/10/26 at 10:50 am to Tigergoose77
Ok, we need one of our OT ballers to design an 18 hole putting only course with an exact replica of the masters greens. We'll use final day hole locations, and begin the putt from the part of the green farthest from the hole.
It's the only way to be sure.

It was a mess.
He tried to weave too much into the story and it came out unintelligible.
I understand he tried to paint a comprehensive picture of what was going on at the time. Instead of a Norman Rockwell, he gave us a Jackson Pollack.
It really needed to be divvied up into separate episodes on the Native Americans, African Americans, Women, Loyalists, Politics, and then warfare/battles. Him cramming it all together in every episode made it really hard to like because it got too hard to follow.
ETA: This is coming from someone who likes the American Revolution part of our history, and I also like Ken Burns work. He's very thorough. This is his George Lucas - Phantom Menace film. Nobody in his inner circle told him it was bad because he's "so great".

re: The Wire (HBO)- First time watching

I just rewatch The Wire to restore my faith.
Man, it's such a cynical show, but it rings true. It's really eye opening how an individual can't really make a difference in any of the systems. The adage "No good deed goes unpunished" comes to mind as does the saying "People don't think it be like it is, but it do."
At the end of the day, Avon was right all along, it's all about the game. Marlo knew that too. So did Omar. Everyone else was trying to slow or stop an unstoppable force - human nature.
The writing was great, but man if it didn't leave me a little depressed.
Finished it last night. Man, what a great show. Great writing. I'm going to be hitting google today to find out where the actors have been, what else the writers/producer has done, cultural impact, etc. The show deserves the praise it gets.
I've said it before, I'm not a fan of the genre. I dislike organized crime movies. Probably because after seeing The Godfather series, everything else seems derivative.
I rank Breaking Bad as one of my top TV series of all time. And it's unfair to compare The Wire to BB. BB does a deep dive on the characters, The Wire does deep dives on various social systems. Hell probably the deepest character arc in The Wire is Bubbles.
In the end, the magic of The Wire is what happens on the street, and the way they told that story through different lenses is masterful.
The show deserves a rewatch. Thanks to everyone who talked it up all these years. :bow:

"Burreaux"
The story of Joe Burrow, told from the moment he leaves Ohio State, until the moment he is drafted by the NFL.
Not a Documentary, but a "based on true events" type story, heavily dramatized like Rudy.

Finished S4 over the weekend. I like how they've taken everything full circle. Probably my favorite season so far. I've got questions, but it's hard searching the internet and trying to avoid spoilers on a 20 year old show. But at this point, any outcome for any character wouldn't be a surprise. :lol:
Federal income tax started in 1913.
Maybe the sister was a ghost dependent.
I know 7 million people vanished in 1987 once the irs started requiring ssns to claim dependents.

Some books are better left as books. The team adapting the book to this format is gonna have to put in a lot of work to get the tone right.

I knew Dominic West (Mcnaulty) was British going in from Rock Star.
I didn't know that, and I couldn't tell!
I've never seen Dominic West in anything else.
I knew Idris Elba was British going in, and I thought he did a pretty good job with his accent. You can kind of tell there's something off about it, but I think that they made him slightly different from everyone else - a businessman not a street guy - allowed the quirks with his accent work.

I also didn’t know Lt/Capt/Major Winters in Band of Brothers was British
No way! I caught him in Fackham Hall (hated it the show) and I thought he was faking the british accent. LOL
Finished S3 Last night. My take away is that they've done a masterful job on the writing. I feel like I got about 50% of what's going down with the city politics. Don't know if my questions will be answered in the next two seasons, or will only be answered on a rewatch. The deals happen so fast, and most of the deal goes with what is unsaid.
This sounds funny, but I'm having a major problem understanding Cignetti (Littlefinger) I've seen Game of Thrones 4 times through and I keep getting tripped up by his American accent.
Great show.

If you don't do something because the grind isn't worth it - someone else will do it. Nobody wants to hire a 50 year old. If you take your foot off the gas, you'll be sent packing and will have no prospects.
If you're an over 40 white male, literally no one in this world will come save you, or want to help you. You have to grind until you can retire, there is no easier way.

I can't wait till you get to season 4. Masterpiece
I'm imagining S4 is where they 're going to start tying a lot of these pieces together. They're focusing a lot on policics this season.
All I know is, there isn't any way Stringer Bell comes out of this season alive. The street is the street and he's trying to be all Mr. Economics. Main theme so far in the show is that the street is what it is and you can't change it.
He pissed off Omar by sending him after Avon's hired muscle.
Worst of all, he pissed off Avon for A.Having Dee killed, B. Putting a hit on the Muslim Brotherhood Brother, and C. Getting in bed with Prop Joe and ignoring his orders.
The police are basically a non-factor in this show and no one can make a difference.

I have tried this series at least 10 different times over the years because I have heard how amazing and great the show is but it has just been too slow for me to keep watching so I give up
I'm only 4 episodes into Season 3 on my first time watching, I can say this - all of the "action" in this show happens beneath the surface of what is shown.
It's not an action show, its a drama. Lots of slow burn going on, I don't think anyone on the main cop squad has even fired their weapon yet. As far as the gang shootouts, it's amazing anyone is hit at all. :lol:
You're not wrong, it's just different.
