re: I know it’s cliche, but our best athletes would dominate Soccer.

also love how everyone making the point that funneling our best athletes into soccer would make a difference have to bang our heads against the wall, to the point that it's aneurysm enducing, that we do not believe we can simply take 11 NBA or NFL players and throw them out on the soccer field and expect to be successful yet yall still just do nothing but throw this out there time and time again to the point where it has to be a bit
One guy literally said you could take Bo Jackson at 14 and make him a superstar in soccer.
Do you think you could do that with basketball? Football, yes. But basketball is so much more than raw athleticism. And soccer, because it’s feet and body and no hands, is even more difficult. We use our hands everyday so learning to manipulate a ball with them is way fricking easier than learning to manipulate a ball with your feet or knee or chest or head.
Soccer relies so much more on skill than raw athleticism it is silly to argue you can out-athlete other world class teams to win a World Cup.

Yes I’m sure that fricking Bo Jackson could never be near the player that some random Norwegian is if he started playing soccer at 14. He just couldn’t figure out how to deal with Jurgen Bunblefrick who is 5’8 145 pounds.
Correct. Also, the random Norwegian everyone is talking about is bigger than Bo Jackson was and is the son of a former Norwegian national team footballer and hero. Bo would be what he was: a great athlete. Maybe he could have gotten good enough to make a team on sheer athleticism, but if you watched the US team play last night and didn’t see how they couldn’t pass like the Belgians, receive a pass like the Belgians, dribble like the Belgians, shoot like the Belgians, or find open space like the Belgians, I don’t know what game you were watching. And that’s the result of being drilled on skills from the age of 4. European kids do not really even play games. They drill. They may scrimmage but they don’t do these fricking tournaments every weekend.
That goes for soccer and basketball. It’s why France and Spain and Italy and some of the Eastern European countries are starting to find themselves playing in the NBA and kicking the shite out of our “athletes.”

is funny watching 80s movies and you hear the occasional “The Japanese are going to own us” line. Sounds just like the China commentary since 2009
The difference being China literally owns us and has cornered one of the most important markets currently propping up our economy: chips

Brad Pitt has been basically playing the same character for 30 years just in different scenarios and contexts.
What character is Mickey? Is he Jesse James or is he Mills? Or maybe he’s Jeffrey Goines or Tristan or Louis or Billy Beane or Wardaddy?

guess you've never seen 12 Monkeys then. Pitt plays a character SO outside of what his leading man persona usually calls for. I really respect for it.
Pitt is a great fricking actor. His acting is overshadowed by his looks.
He is excellent in Legends of the Fall, A River Runs Through It (where, yes, he is an analogue for Robert Redford and purposefully so), 12 Monkeys, Burn After Reading, Jesse James, Snatch, Se7en, Moneyball… shite, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood…
Not only are these outside of “the norm” for Pitt, in some cases they are way outside the norm (Snatch, 12 Monkeys, and Burn After Reading).
If anything, Pitt is criminally underrated.

She is horrible...Jennifer Garner, on the other hand, is not that bad.
We can quibble on her acting, but there is something about her that makes me dislike her immensely in her roles. I don’t know what it is. Like she’s a scolding school teacher or something. It’s very weird and hard to put my finger on.

The actual correct answer is probably Ryan Reynolds
Used to say he was underrated because of some turns he did that were quite good, like the Woman in Gold, Buried and Amityville Horror, but he has leaned entirely into the shtick you talk about and it is getting tired.
It’s made him a lot of money, though.

Season five of Justified was like an episode of Breaking Bad that featured a lot of Walt Jr. It sucked.
I actually think Season 5 wasn’t bad. It’s just bad compared to the other seasons. Rappaport was obviously the worst villain and his accent stunk, but I enjoyed the season overall.
Plus we got the classic Boyd line: “I’ve been accused of being a lot of things. Inarticulate ain’t one of them.” As he holds a pistol to Daryl’s face.

WRT History of the World Part 1:
It was always a series of sketches strung loosely together that would work separately. Only the French Revolution and Rome parts could be considered short films.
Some sketches are better than others.
But the jokes are good for the most part.
The Moses tablet drop was mentioned before but
I liked the Count De Money bit, the flunked flank bit in Rome, the whole Vestal Virgins bit in Rome… there’s a lot of funny and quotable bits
