  • I don’t do that, but I rarely watch a show until a second season has been picked up. Sometimes wait 2.

    Exceptions are the Mini Series or shows that obviously aren’t going anywhere.

  • Will we get no-hit this series?

    • Yes: EVEN
    • No: +240

    Odds have gotten better for the Tribe, coming off the sweep of Seattle. However a 3/30 team effort on Wednesday keeps the odds leaning YES!

    Finally got HBO after a year or so off! 

    Also pumped for Chernobyl, looks awesome.

    Been looking forward to Chernobyl for a long time. Hope it doesn’t disappoint. It’s a fantastic idea for a serial show.

    When I said “they” I was referring to the Browns.  Week 17 is Browns at Bengals.

    Please get the joke.

    How far into the game did you make it last night?

    Me: 4th inning. Woke up at 4 am to piss and checked for the final. 

    Fell asleep with it on after the 4th. Woke up in the 8th at 4-1. Went to bed.

    Bottom line is, you're thinking too hard about a movie where monsters kill people if you make a noise.

    To paraphrase you, isn’t that what we should be doing on a message board?

    Anyway, a good number of people thought that while watching the movie. So, why not address it or leave it out? That’s all I’m saying.

    Or, uh, since the main characters in that movie are a husband, wife and three...uh, WHOOPSIE!!!!...two children, the act of building a house might not be all that feasible unless you actually have building materials on hand. If noise is taboo, you ain't gonna be driving to town in a big-ass truck to raid Lowe's. And depending on personal do-it-yourself ability, the simple act of building something semi-permanent that will provide shelter and not collapse in a strong wind might not be all that easy (I mean, the dude had shit built up in his house like soundproofing part of it, but starting from scratch while outdoors and completely vulnerable seems to be a different story). And, when you think about it, unless these monsters are going to be cool about shit and broadcast they're coming for you with a lot of noise, I don't know that I'd be all the comfortable with concentrating on building something in the hopes that I'll notice them coming and have time to get to my raft to escape down river before I'm grabbed.

    We can get into the semantics of building materials and the noise associated. But bottom line is most of the worlds population of animals and humans has been wiped out. The fact they knew of a way to live a semi normal life in that situation and decided, “nah, I’m good” is dumb. They walked to a giant bridge in the opening scene. Pack up what you want, find a boat, and drift or whatever until you find a vacant house near the water. Hell, take it until you hit the fucking ocean. Anything but staying around in the current house would’ve been a better option. There was a solution, and they ignored it.

    Why even give us that plot, is my point? Could easily have a father son moment anywhere else and learn about the daughter needing your love.

    I liked the movie. It was entertaining and original. I’m not going to criticize it for what you guys are saying. Obviously that type of movie isn’t going to be 100% realistic. 

    Thats like watching a horror movie and getting upset because the woman didn’t just run away and call the police. If she did that, there wouldn’t be a movie. 

    Sure, but in this case they made a big deal and an entire scene about the effects of water. Soooo, maybe just don’t even address it? Like, there was zero point for it to even be in the movie.

    Yeah, I actually did have that thought as well after that scene. But, building a house would be noisy as hell, so the water might not mask that process.

    Yeah, so when they get there, just stop. Or jump in a canoe and off you go. Then start again when they are gone. I don’t know, there were clear ways to be able to at least have a semi-normal life by natural occurring noises it appeared.

    A Quiet Place - 7/10

    A few things that bugged me. How the hell is their fresh corn growing when you're a year and a half into dealing with whatever those monsters are? Also, the nail in the step. C'mon. Otherwise, it was entertaining enough.

    The fact they didn’t just build a house by the waterfall didn’t bug you? The whole movie was ruined when water masked their noise and they were dumb enough to not live near it.

  • I don’t think what Tiger did to his wife was ok. But I also don’t really get involved in marriages outside my own and maybe direct family. Too many people cheat and lie for me to give it a second thought. He isn’t a woman beater, rapist, murdered, etc. That’s why I don’t hate him.

    Any guys that seem like they'd be dicks but are actually cool, and vice versa?

    Most are pretty cool, like 95% of the guys I’ve met/interacted with. Sergio is one who everyone hates, but is actually super nice. DJ is pretty blah. Not mean or anything, just legit seems to not give a fuck about anything. So doesn’t really interact with people outside his tour obligations.

    Does Spieth look as fragile in person as he does on tv? He looks like he would blow away in a strong wind. I have heard he's a nice guy, though. Have you met a ton of tour guys?

    Yeah, we get to see/interact with a ton of them on Monday-Wednesday. Then we see all the interview and the pre and post interview. Phil tells the reporters what questions they can ask. If they go rogue on him, he flips the fuck out as soon as it’s off air. 

    Spieth is pretty tiny. The other guys are all tanks though, so he looks smaller. He’s probably a bit thicker than most average guys his size. But definitely isn’t built like an athlete. As in, smaller than a comparable guy his height who works out.

    Not sure if everyone knows about Spieths sister or not, but she has pretty severe autism. Watched him miss a 5’ birdie, then the comebacks for par, and made bogey. On his way to next tee he spotted her and went under the ropes to give her a big hug. I guess she can’t make most tournaments of his. I don’t think I’ve seen someone ever be so happy to see their brother.

    Anyway, love Spieth as a person. Not so much as a golfer. And I still hate that he was allowed 30 minutes to take a drop at The Open. Took Kuchar out of his game and helped Spieth find his.
