Miracle on 34th Street is crappy schmaltz. It’s a Wonderful Life is absolutely depressing and is a goddamn masterpiece.

I can never decide if it’s trying to be a NY accent or a Chicago accent, mainly because it’s so over the top that it’s the sort of thing that’s never existed outside of a movie (I grew up in NYC and I coitinly neva talked like dat).

Always It’s a Wonderful Life truthers.

I’ve never understood Pottersville Nick’s accent. Why does Nick sound like a 30s gangster just because the town sucks now?

Yeah. I’m kinda broke right now, so I, for one, could totally use $1 million. George? Or, hell, anyone?

I’ve got this feeling. Like something telling me (again and again and again) that I’ve got it wrong and Maitan counts towards next year’s pool. I wonder what it is.

It wasn’t just Ohtani, though. The Angels used some bonus money to sign Kevin Maitan.

“Theatrical play” likely isn’t them referring to the short in some weird fancy way no one ever has before, but rather the play (used as a verb) Disney made in releasing it theatrically. Everyone noticed Olaf’s Frozen Adventure seemed to be TV special length—what I think they’re saying is the theatrical play is coming…

Where your analogy falls apart is that I have very little interest in seeing a Star Wars movie directed by Ron Howard.

Yeah, I have no idea how they could do the show without Maura. The kids are barely on the side of tolerable even when they have Maura to ground the show around. I have zero interest in Transparent, a show based around exploring a person in transition and the effects it has on hey sort-of-awful family, becoming “how…

I think it they went by their full names it’d be even better.

I remember it. I also remember saying Kripstaps Porzingis was Latvian for Frederic Weis. We were all very very wrong, and owned up to that pretty much as soon as his rookie season started.

It’s amazing to me that in all these clips it never even looks like Porzingis is running hard, yet he constantly is beating the defender, or outrunning the shooting to get the block. This is not a criticism—when you’re that tall, your jog is equal to another man’s run.

These seem like false equivalencies to me. He didn’t contrast the issues that “matter to ordinary Americans” with “women, Latinx and black people and the LGBTQ community as if they were different groups.” He contrasted those issues with the Russia investigation.

Based on this exchange I looked up the quote and it is indeed maddening. What’s worse is I found the quote via wikiquote—man, the Foucault page on wikiquote is a treasure trove of maddening, depressing and altogether stupid takes. Shut the fuck up, Christopher Bray.

What’s amazing is that the disaster that is the Mets front office dynamic is saving them from potentially hiring some of the worst manager candidates out there.

The difference there is that the Yankees and the Canadiens both have histories of being something other than doormats.

Ah yes, that horrible tampering that set your team back so far as to not win a Super Bowl for another 4 years. That must have been scarring.

Yeah, I meant spygate (too many gates out there. Also, gate is a stupid thing to put on something to mean scandal). And yes, my whole point is that Pats fans have no reason to care about that.
