Can you imagine ending up married to this chick and having to tell her you can’t swing a 2 week IG Worthy summer vacation to Tulum because you didn’t get your bonus? This is how divorces happen
Every video like this shows me the bullet I dodged marrying the sister I did. If I was married to my wife’s sister this would be my life. My wife is much more practical.

What did the academy see in Anora?
Posted by jlovel7 on 8/10/26 at 8:31 am
Just watched it and thought the first half was especially compelling. I have to say I didn’t expect young playboy to be as incompetent as he was. But once he runs away and the whole movie is them finding him it really dragged for me. Overall I thought it was fine but best picture? Not so sure. Although 2024 and 2025 were definitely bad movie years compared to 2023 and likely 2026 (thank you Christopher Nolan!).
Did anyone else watch this and think what was the hype all about?

Whatever happened to that dude who started dating a woman then found out they’re cousins?

I recall some years ago (maybe even pre Covid) that a poster on this board started dating a woman (maybe at church?) and they really hit it off. Well turns out they’re cousins that I guess somehow got separated/adopted/etc..?
And then I think they both said frick it and decided to go with it.
Am I crazy or did that actually happen? The thread about common ancestry within a marriage made me think to ask.

I think they’re both great. This board may be a little out of touch.

I loved the first viewing. Hated the second as I felt all the tension was gone from the Manson stuff and then have only loved it more and more with each viewing since. I’ve never experienced that before with a movie where I was so disappointed on second watch only to have my interest reinvigorated with more viewings.
I wish Quentin would get serious about his next film. It’s been 7 years and even if he started tomorrow we’d be what, 2-3 years away from one minimum? We’re looking at 10+ years between Tarantino movies. That sucks. Before we were on a 3-4 year schedule.

OK, let's see: People download digital pictures and text on the internet. People look around and find the pics and text they want and manipulate them into their creation using a program.
Photoshop is not an easy tool to use unless you do literallt what you just said which is copy and pasting. In which case you could use Microsoft paint just as effectively. There are thousands of tools on photoshop that a person has to know how to use and layer.
I know this because I have been using photoshop for 14 years now academically or professionally. You cannot use it other than in the most simple terms as a layman.
Most laypeople with a little bit of configuring a prompt could spit that poster out.
Again, photoshop is analogous to a pencil but on the extreme end. Is an artist who uses a pencil (a piece of technology in its own right). It has a variety of skill to it. AI is just asking a computer to spit out a basically finished product with a prompt. It’s more like a generative brain than a true instrument of an artist.

Yet Photoshopping the last 30 years was OK. GTFOH.
There is A LOT of human decision making and creativity that goes into photoshop. It’s effectively a smarter pencil to the extreme. Not a new “brain” like AI art is. It’s a different ballgame.

then they have a championship flight and enough players to have multiple flight with similar handicaps, which is pretty much the same thing as using handicap.
You are correct. We have a champ flight and lower flights.

it says his score was 70, assuming hes not competing from the back tees in the championship flight, which hes not, the 70 would be his score with his handicap subtracted in every club championship ive ever seen

It’s amazing how consistently good Spider-Man has been. The other hero’s are lucky to have 2 solid movies and most just have 1 if that.
Spider-Man easily has 4 very solid rewatchables movies and of course there are tiers to them but the best of them are elite and the worst are very good.

Crystal skull is much more akin to the prequels than the sequels. It’s a step above TLJ but it’s still a shite fest.

I’m for this cause. I’m not generally for taking causes no matter how righteous and putting that stuff on kids.
’m not getting out much these days, but I’ve read interesting things about the show.
If broadway is hit or miss for you I can see this one being a little over the casual viewers head. It definitely was over mine at times until I relistened to the sound track the next day. The story is much looser and heavier on the music almost like an opera.
If you’re looking to have a clean story with some music thrown in it’s more music with some light story thrown in if that makes sense.

could not get past the song that was so important. It was like the Elmo theme song.
I actually agree. La la la la? Seriously :lol:
Overall yes I did like it but man they didn’t make the important song really that great.

Did anyone see Hadestown?
Posted by jlovel7 on 7/30/26 at 10:15 am
Saw it last night with my wife and one of her friends who’s big into broadway. I’m definitely a broadway fan but more so, when I’m in New York I go to see a lot of shows. I’ve never necessarily sought it out on my own. Generally since I was in high school any musical or play I saw I generally enjoyed. Something about the live performance and also being an art major myself I think helps me enjoy it as well from a technical aspect.
Anyway, I’d never heard of this until she suggested we go. It’s definitely a little more esoteric and operatic than my typical favorite musicals but damn I did really enjoy it. Once the story got rolling I was able to follow it much better. It’s based on the story of Orpheus trying to save his lover from Hades as well as the relationship of Hades and Persephone causing havoc on the world.
Overall I just definitely enjoyed it even though it was maybe a little more over my head than the typical musical that’s a little more straightforward with the story. Anybody else here see it and enjoy it?

I couldn’t watch it when the students were being interviewed as witnesses or friends and they all seemed like they were more interested in using this to get some social media cred. I should probably give it another shot. But both my wife and I noticed that and it just turned us off.
