There’s some chatter about it way back on pages 23 and 25. I’ve only read Inherent Vice, so I’m no Pynchon expert. But I thought it was a blast and so was the movie.

Interesting points and I haven’t seen Opening Night yet (I’ll watch it soon), but I’m not sure about what you are underscoring as onstage/onscreen. You lost me in the middle there. My feel for Cassavetes is that he’s mostly trying to stay out of the way and let the actors play the scenes as...

Talking movies around town, I’m surprised how many people are all over The Secret Agent. Almost like it’s become the “in the know” movie to say was your favorite of the year. I just can’t understand putting it even near the top. I thought it was good (solid B) but it’s getting highly overrated...

Loved it, it slid just into my top 10. A great intro to the period and movement if you’re new to it, and a whole lot of fun if you’re better versed. Still haven’t seen Pierrot either. For Breathless, to use an overused and abused term these days, Jean Seberg was iconic. And in NV, the “New...

Brutal collapse by Cinci in a game that may have not have been “win and in” but close. UCF on the bubble too (fuck Dawkins) but on the right side of it, especially after that win. Wes had no settling presence on the court whatsoever. Just a bunch of athletes playing low IQ ball down the stretch...

It’s crazy but 43 FTs, yuck. A true tank game but good for Bam. One of the Kentucky players I dislike the least.

Among noms, my preference: 1. “One Battle After Another” / “Sentimental Value” 3. “Hamnet” 4. “Frankenstein” 5. “Train Dreams” 6. “The Secret Agent” 7. “Bugonia” 8. “Marty Supreme” 9. “Sinners” NR. “F1” (did not care to watch cars speed around for 2.5 hours, maybe on a plane sometime when...

*ONE BATTLE SPOILERS* I took that to be partly the fact that Lockjaw was dead, and word would’ve no doubt gotten to them one way or another that he’d vanished (dead). So it’s like there was a tiny bit of respite, evidenced by him learning to use his phone, and the happier tone of the...

Any equivocation or evasive answer here is ignore-worthy IMO.

So you know what info Mamdani knew at the time he released that initial statement that has your tighties all wadded? Because if you know that, you may have a point. But if you don’t know that, then you’re just a trolling fool as usual.

His little game of semantics outrage falls apart because he doesn’t know exactly what Mamdani knew at the time he made the initial comments. Yet in his own mind, it was a calculated imbalance of reaction. Super already answered this throughly pages ago:

Easy. You = whiny spoiled broken record spouting constant negativity about the coach and team because these aren’t the results I deserve and am entitled to and hmmph I’m mad about it! Me = *not* whiny spoiled broken record spouting constant negativity about the coach and team because these...

You’re sad. Entitled crybaby.

Worst for everybody?? What a joke. I said a long time ago there would be “fans” secretly preferring a terrible season over a good or even very good (but not great) one, i.e. one that was *just enough* to make HD’s job safe. Here’s the evidence. What kind of fans are these??

Rewatched this one. A tale of modern Russian corruption and how it extends to the local level. It’s outstanding. I saw it when it came out in 2014 (was Oscar nominated for best international) but it didn’t land quite like it did this time. Feels much more relevant to the US now.
