They’re an odd combination of wanna be Ivy League pretentiousness, new money egotism and insular cult-like “Michigan man” culture influenced by a uniquely toxic blend of northeast liberal alumni mixed with blue collar redneck Republican local fanbase.


This seems like it could have been meant as an insult, but it's shockingly spot on. Best brief description of the fanbase I've seen.
I haven't seen anyone else report this, and Balas is an unreliable doofus. I hope not. At the same time, it wouldn't surprise me either with the way people think in that town.

Phil needs to see a therapist.

Top 5 favorite for me.
Pretty much under 40. Although if it was pretty sunny and the course was open for the first time in a while, I would consider lower.
This one is a little different in that you can read it as a standalone perfectly fine. I really liked it and have not and don't plan to read the sequel. This one is really good though.
Still thinking about re-watching Season 4 before 5 comes out. My rankings:

S1
S4
S3
S2

I could see a case for Season 4 as the best, but 1 was just such a masterpiece. Murray is one of my favorite minor characters.

I wasn't a huge fan of this one, but A Farewell to Arms is excellent.
Went again with my daughter on Sunday. It is kind of weird that they have the music playing while the guys tee off, but it was a fun atmosphere. Big crowds both days. Watching Rahm and Bryson outdrive Oosthuizen by a mile in their threesome was pretty entertaining.
Went with the family today. It was nice to have an event like this without having to drive into Detroit. Fun time.

Kill Creek is a pretty good one. A Winter Haunting is also really good.
That's a pretty good list. I like "The Secret" too. Would have had that on there somewhere.
Weird Scenes Inside the Canyon about Laurel Canyon
A new Wolf Man movie intrigues me.
Some favorites:

The Troop - good body/gross horror
The Beautiful Thing that Awaits Us All - modern cosmic horror short stories
The Strain - vampires
The Ruins - nature is scary
Bird Box - apocalyptic
The Silence - more evil nature
The Hunger - historical horror
Nocturnal by Scott Sigler - underground dwellers
Tales from the Gas Station - hilarious horror
Parasite by Darcy Coates - parasites
