That’s a great comparison - they want to parade around in the press like Christian Bale losing 80lbs for a film.

Sure, and I extend that complaint to all of them. It’s heightened in this specific case because of the rest of the strangeness around the film.

The thing that always bothers me about these efforts is that they become narcissistic career building by the actor, rather than a tribute and/or look into the life of a musician. And Nina Simone is so important for so many reasons. This doesn’t need to be about Saldana going on a press tour and talking about how hard…

They should just tap out and let the Jazz play the last two games.

Oh fuck, they tried to have Saldana sing?

Picture of what he was jerking off to:

That finals was interesting.

Nonsense. A game company hired these people. A game company feels there’s some benefit to have a working product by Day X.

If your extra labor adds value to the product, it should be compensated. If it’s important for a game company to have something working by day X, then they should pay for the labor necessary to make it so.

In all fairness, there are so few Asian people on planet Earth that you really have to just hire white people.

It will get devoured against any team with a big who can score and make free throws.

The defensive disadvantage of Love v. Drummond is muted in crunch time by his terrible free throw shooting. The Pistons have to take him out for long stretches when they start fouling. Love should be at the 5 for each and every minute Drummond is getting hacked.

I’m not sure I get the angle of these. Having been a denizen of locker rooms and similar collections of athlete dudes through college, he’s got the spirit pretty right. That’s not to justify any of that talk, but that’s how it is.

They’re going to get stomped quickly, but fucking Beverley, man. If I were the Warriors I’d try to get up by 20 in the first quarter then hide Curry from that maniac. It could go from a pretty interesting, heated basketball battle to, “Oh goddamnit, why did he undercut Curry on that 3?” injury controversy in the blink…

The best one will be the one his future ex-wife will write 5 years from now. She already exudes all the joy of a basement-confined hostage when standing next to that unsettling flesh bag.

Thank you.

I like character building (leveling, obtaining skills) and wandering/exploring. I don’t like raiding and PvP.

Good point.

Smartest thing he ever did was buy into MJ’s baseball fantasy*. The good faith that earned him got MJ back to the Bulls and 3 more rings.

I think they’ll win a game or two, at best, and Griffin is a huge unknown.
