The Russian Ark. It tells more of a story in the opening shot than most movies due in their entirety because the entire film is the opening shot.

I don’t think Herbstreit actually would be happy to lend his likeness and voice to the game for free. In the abstract, maybe, but then when they want him to spend a day in the recording studio to get audio clips and maybe also construct some digital models, he’s not going to do that without cash.

The basic problem is, Lurie doesn’t care about wins or rings or fans or the city. He cares about getting his way. The Reid/McNabb combo was a stroke of luck. 6-10 is the new normal.

Maybe I’m out of the loop again, but I thought it was understood that neutrinos (individually tiny but still have some mass, incredibly numerous, and don’t interact much with other matter) were the leading contending explanation for dark matter effects.

Of all the stupid explanations for a stupid line, that may be one of the stupidest.

Meh. 10m is chump change for Manchester.

Open to being disliked by all genders is why I identify as a loser.

If they don’t only go to the best (which they don’t), then it’s shitty recognition, isn’t it? “Hey you’re as good as Renee Zellweger in Cold Mountain!”

That makes no sense. If the team is going to suck for the next season or two no matter who’s coaching, how will Chip be able to prove he’s a good coach? 5-11 because you’re a moron and 5-11 because you’re hamstrung by a shitty team don’t look that much different.

Bullshit. If Oscars only go to the best and you’re good enough to be in the running, let alone win, you shouldn’t need the statuette to have a reputation in the industry. And outside of the industry, what would it matter for? Picking up girls?

Something something pocket deuce.

All of those are better values than the $7 stadium beer the shlubs in the cheap seats have to pay for. The rich get richer....

He’s always bad, but he’s not always Attack of the Clones bad.

He isn’t nearly good enough for me to be okay with this.

You live by a bunch of billionaire shitheads born into wealth, you die by a bunch of billionaire shitheads born into wealth.

It isn’t just about the association with black people, though. It’s about his implication that you get put in a ghetto because you aren’t good enough, rather than because the larger society is racist or anti-Semitic. Use of “ghetto” as slang for “cheap” or “dirty” is offensive for the same reason: it suggests that the…

We’re at this odd place in society where we’ve realized it’s shitty to some people, the way things had been, but haven’t fully thought through and explored the implications of changing all that and how the new society will look.* While society transitions, there will be situations that people find confusing or…

Would you agree he was using it in a perjorative sense?

When I moved to Europe, I left pretty much all my electronics behind except this beard trimmer. The only reason I own a voltage transformer is to charge it, which I only need to do about once a month. Accept no substitutes.

I think sportsmanship is important but I don’t agree - every call the potential to change the outcome, and you don’t want a system where players or coaches are second-guessing every call officials make, especially if doing so undermines their competitiveness. Look at how much more unwatchable football has become with…
