    A Quiet Place (2018)

    Just saw this pile of shit and feel the same way. I want the 2.5 hours back that it took me to drive back and forth to the theater and watch this inbetween. I agree that its a well made movie but everything about it is so implausible I just couldn't buy in. When there really are a thousand+...

    The shot wasn't easy but going for the bank made it pretty reasonable. That is the area on the floor guys practice banking from due to the angle. Fading away made it more difficult, but once you get to that spot you just get a feel for the way you need to get it off the glass. Not to take...

    Avengers: Infinity War (2018)

    I saw a video with somebody speculating about it taking place inside the soul stone too, but if so why? My minor gripe with the movie was the lack of Hulk, and only seeing him get beat down when we did see him. But I'm sure they'll make the wait worthwhile when part 4 comes up, Hulk power up...

    The thing is, nothing they could have traded the pick for mid season would have made Lebron want to stay. They could have traded for a player that might have helped a little, but likely not enough to move the needle on their title odds this year. Small chance for them to win the title either...

    Homeland

    Crazy awesome episode, especially now that we know Yakushin owned Daybreak. Carrie: Yakushin has $300 million in US banks. We freeze it, we squeeze his balls and he'll help us. Saul: I dunno Carrie, $300 million might not hurt these corrupt Ruskies that much. Carrie: Saul, he owns...

    Silicon Valley

    Jinyang's storyline as the villain is too real. "new new internet" And Silicon Valley is not "against" Christian people. I don't think a vocal minority from a protest is indicative of much. I'd guess there is a lack of respect for it in tech circles on the whole, but there are obviously...

    Of all those you take Spurs under easily unless all the Kawhi drama has just been faked in order to position themselves and him for a shot at revenge in rounds 1.

    "Finished 4th" this year doesn't mean what it usually does. They're a good team but it was legitimately in question as recently as a week ago whether they'd even make the playoffs at all. Finished 4th, could have finished anywhere from 4-9 depending how things went the past few days. Whose to...

    Sure you can. And I just did, cause he also led the league in FGA even though he's a poor, not very efficient shooter. Westbrook attacking the hoop is a great play. Westbrick dribbling around and chucking a jumper is a relatively low efficiency play that happens too often.

    I'd put it more like he cares about winning, tries his best to help his team do that and in the process puts up a ton of stats with his insane usage, but doesn't realize that maybe him having insane usage is not necessarily the best route for the team to be successful. Two pretty good offensive...

    Not wild about a couple of the potential first round matchups out there with Steph probably being out still, especially Thunder. Not counting on Harden / Paul playoff history to be indicative of what we see this year either. That team only knows how to win games right now. Sixers are...

    7.5/10. Hadn't read the book in a while so I only remembered the gist of it. It was a fun, entertaining movie. Favorite part was the Shining key I think, it was really f'ing cool. Unfortunately every kid out there who sees this movie will have never seen the Shining (and even probably a good...

    Gonna be very disruptive if Starlink really goes live by 2024 (which i highly doubt but am hopeful for.) We're talking 1 Gbps wireless access for virtually anywhere on the planet. Comcast, Verizon, AT&T, etc all have to be scared to death that this may become a reality in the near future...

    Shot Caller (2017)

    Just watched this on Amazon Prime. This movie is fucking raw. It will stick with you after you watch it. Highly recommended. Maybe its partly because I had zero expectations before watching, but i'd give it like 9/10.

    Don't really care if the graphics don't look like the top of the line current MMO's. It'd be nice but, I'll take interesting gameplay over gorgeous graphics all day. ESO looks amazing yet bores the shit out of me. So boring it feels like a chore to play.

    The tank is too strong with Memphis. 17 straight losses in a league with a lot of bad teams who have no incentive to win right now. That's impressive.

    Black Panther (2018)

    6/10 Movie wasn't very good, not really worth going into the details on. I only really wanted to see it so that I wasn't missing anything going into Infinity War, probably wasn't even worth it for that. I did appreciate the Tim Hardaway reference at the beginning of the movie when Killmonger...

    Jalen Rose was saying a month+ back that he heard Kawhi wanted out due to the way the team was handling his injury and whatever else. Its possible he's unhappy enough there that he would rather rest than risk further injury try to help the team out, hoping to put enough pressure on them to...

    I wouldn't mind seeing the Rockets get the 1 seed. Our guys seem to need extra motivation this year, more people getting behind the Rockets could help with that. Team has enough talent that they should be able to win any series even without home court.

    Cavs improved their shot this year for sure, I think they'll again be the favorite to make it out of the East after we see how they all play together. That said, I think Lebron staying will hinge on where that Brooklyn pick lands. If it lands top 3 and Lebron could be playing with an immediate...

    Yes, have tried re-watching it a few times too. Furthest I've gotten is a bit into the second season I think. Maybe it just hadn't been long enough when I tried. I've been re-watching through BSG again after 12-15 years and can't get enough.

    How is Bagley a tweener? He's 6'11 235 lbs, can probably play 3 positions in today's NBA. His shot doesn't look bad, he'll probably take 3's more frequently in the NBA. I also compared Bagley to a better shooting Ben Simmons a while back. He's a solid shooter and a good ball handler for a...

    I thought Westbrook would be picked last. He's a ballhog in all star games, why would anybody want to play with him?

    Yeah. I was opting towards Porter Jr. before the surgery, but Bagley is a can't miss star so it probably ends up being him unless Porter unexpectedly comes back and plays some. 10 years ago Ayton would have hands down been the #1 pick of this draft class, but in today's world he's probably...

    Doncic will be a bust, there's no way he's getting picked before Porter Jr. Anyways, its anybody's guess at this point how the draft order ends up. Lakers are 2nd worst now but there are about 10 teams separated by only 4-5 wins and a lot of games to go. Lakers have seemingly had a drop off...
