You heard wrong.

Winter soldier is the best overall movie.
Even the ending credits are elite. I’ll just pull them up on YouTube every now and then.

Henry Jackman was cooking

I know this is a polarizing release
The only thing polarizing is the indices. I love a good 69 but I really, really hate that 6-9. The diamond set dial with plain baguettes is much better.

If it were possible to get the blue dial from the platinum, baguette indices, with the fluted bezel, it would be perfect.

ETA: despite my gripes, still a very cool pickup. Wear it in good health, Papi.
I don’t need LSU basketball to win national championships. If they do, fricking awesome, but it’s not the expectation for this program.

As long as they’re entertaining to watch, challenging for SEC titles, and a regular fixture in the Tourney who can make a run every couple years, I’m satisfied. Wade has already done that in his previous tenure, and there’s potential for more.
Love how he throws in the Mass Effect galaxy map music at the ~5:00 minute mark when it pulls out to the map of the galaxy.

When is this guys next open mic night at the local comedy club?
The LucasP nomination didn’t come until the last post of page 2.

The people are losing faith :casty:
Thought this was going to be another F&F entry

Season 3 was the weakest and I thought it recovered in Season 4.
Good to know. I really enjoyed the first 2 seasons, but only watched the premiere of S3 and just kind of got distracted/wasn't interested at the moment and completely fell off.

I should try to pick it back up.
My buddy’s wife is from Ecuador and her grandma has a guinea pig farm.

It’s her favorite food and she always talks it up. I was somewhat disappointed that I didn’t get a chance to try it when I went down there with them a few years back.

It was a relatively important hiccup to solve,
Except for the Eridians, who just had to stick astrophage in a container and throw it into ocean.

She was a big beastly woman.
I re-listened to the audiobook about a month ago, and even I had a “WTF? Oh, right” moment when the computer says 4 years.
Sound is Rocky’s primary sense
quote:

Eridians basically have photographic memory as a base trait.
Rocky’s memory is insane. He’s basically an instant calculator, not because he does the math but because he’s memorized every possible times table. Eridians use base 6 instead of base 10, and he’s able to convert human calculations to his own instantaneously.

Rocky hears the sound of an English word once, and as soon as his analog is established he remembers it forever.

In the book Grace starts to understand the musical language Rocky uses after a while, and doesn’t really even need the translator.
Let me guess, everyone else on the plane cheered for your heroic act.
I watched Nocturnal Animals on a flight.

The title sequence, with naked morbidly obese women dancing, was skipped over with quickness.

One of the few wild animals where the impact of human activity has cause the population to spike. Sharply.

The proliferation of suburbia: mowed Kentucky bluegrass near bodies of water, like in subdivisions, corporate parks, golf courses, etc, created the perfect environment for them. It was like pouring kerosene of the goose fire.

They don’t even need to migrate anymore. The retention pond around your subdivision is their Eden.

We had over 30 minutes of trailers.
I went on Monday and expected this, being at an AMC.

Apparently there were none for the prescreening, because I walked in 5 minutes late and he was already discovering the crewmates.

I can’t even say I’ve seen the whole movie yet.

Making her human hurt her character imo
I think that’s mostly a fake out for the question “who would you die for”

They make it seem like there might be some romantic tension there.
