The helmet is really cool. 

Totally right. He worked a white collar office job because that’s what he just kinda wound up doing. If you compare Peter with some of his coworkers (Samir and Michael, the “case of the Mondays” lady) you can tell he has a misery related to work they don’t.

Hoffman was so great - equally believable as snobbish, WASPy jerk and a total pathetic loser schlub.

He lives in an abandoned, crumbling house next to a paper mill, not a trendy loft space.

Right, I don’t think he fantasized about blue collar work being authentic or noble, just more fulfilling than pushing paper around all day. I can relate to that.

Office Space is a great time capsule of the “end of history” feeling of the 90s. The economy is great! 9/11 hasn’t happened yet! We’re only sort of at war in the Middle East! The only thing we have to deal with is the crushing ennui of office work! Imagine showing it to a Gen Z kid who’s only known the hell of…

Yeah, I think they do great work, I just worry that there’s going to be huge layoffs once the VC fountain is shut off.

Also, and I’m really not trying to get all “can he do it on a cold night in Stoke” here, signing a guy who’s demonstrated that he can play in the league takes a lot of the risk out of the signing. You (hopefully) won’t have a Victor Lindelof situation where it takes a year to settle in.

I don’t think I really learned left and right until I was like, 12 or so. I went on a canoeing trip with my family and had to learn fast in order to navigate the river.

This was definitely a one-year-stop-before-moving-on-to-PSG type situation with Dybala.

Right, I think Pepe was barely connected with United. I never got the sense they were trying real hard to sign him. They got two players who should instantly improve the squad and a third who could be an impact player in a year or so. It’s been a positive window for them - much more so than last summer.

Right, Leicester is perfectly willing to play chicken with the big clubs over their guys. I kind of respect it.

I agree with everything you wrote, but it’s actually been refreshing for me, as a United fan, to see them develop some self-awareness this summer. They could’ve given in to Dybala’s wage demands, but they finally realized that throwing cash at a player who doesn’t really want to play for you isn’t a great strategy. A…

That makes sense since Chris Simms took over for both, eventually.

Paul Pasqualoni looks just like Heaven’s Gate leader Marshall Applewhite but without the charisma. Matt Patricia looks like a composite of every single Barstool reader or a sloppy high school lacrosse coach (not mutually exclusive, I know).

He’s putting together a great career, but he’ll always be Liam McPoyle to me.

Fury Road is definitely the best movie of this decade followed by, and this may be controversial, Nightcrawler.

I want to hear the story behind him deciding that was his go-to face for pictures. Also, he doesn’t look right as a skinny guy. 

I saw it in 70mm, so I was impressed by the spectacle, but I have no desire to ever sit through it again.

Django and Hateful Eight definitely felt bloated (the latter was by design, I assume). I hope this one is a little zippier.
