I hate snarky dialogue in superhero movies but that line cuts fricking deep.

I'm a mild Big Ten homer. Very satisfying to see an OG conference member bring home a basketball natty after watching several other teams blow it on this stage over the last 25 years (and Queen Cait on the women's side).

Rewinding and fast-forwarding the Orion stream to watch the moon change in size/clarity is really cool.

Passengers should probably be on there too; it has two characters but loneliness is a key element (as i have read since i have not seen it).
Passengers has a weird reputation. It's a really interesting premise and I don't dispute that the critical decision the main character makes early in the movie is almost criminally invasive. But under the same circumstances I can't say that I wouldn't make the same decision. Nor would I expect subsequent events to play out substantially differently than depicted.
The Fishburne character sums it up nicely. "The drowning man always tries to bring someone with him."
The third act is stupid but the first and second are really good.

Milwaukee BONECRUSHERS. I've always loved how over-the-top that sounded. Like the team name was chosen by an 8YO boy who thought it was the coolest thing ever.

Every single person in that video--every single one--is a waste. A complete and utter waste.
Life, time, money, resources. All of it is completely pissed away on these people.
Every single tax dollar taken from you and given to these people is wasted. You might as well light it on fire.
Waste. Violent, loud, antisocial. A complete waste.
Not a single one of them will ever be thankful for the society that enables this behavior. Many, perhaps most, will become criminals or junkheads. All of them will produce at least one child who will inevitably continue the cycle.
Utter waste.
This is how all of the progressive altruism will be received. And they know it. They delight in knowing that the progressives' bleeding hearts are ultimately their free pass to destroy, to waste, to make everything around them irreversibly worse. And they'll film all of it and post it all over the Internet because they know literally nothing will be done about it.
Enabled. Entitled. And they'll still crank the violence up to 10 the moment you dare to even look at them wrong. That's their solution to everything that could even remotely challenge this kingdom of ashes they so desperately want. No dialogue, no bargaining, no bribes. Just extreme violence.
It's all fun and games, too. A broken person might actually have a reason for acting out. These people have no reason. There's no grand vision. No end goal. Revelry in destruction is the entire point.
Total waste.

B1G has the second-most championship game appearances in that timespan, behind the ACC. No hardware to show for it.

Two games within two hours of each other today, one for my son (bball) and one for my daughter (soccer) resulting in two losses. One was an avalanche brought on by some really shitty luck, one was a "blew it in the 4th quarter" kinda deal with plenty of its own bad luck.
Two kids left sobbing and searching for answers after their games and all Daddy-o here can do is offer them some ice cream and let 'em spill their guts. Then try to remind them why they play at all.
And all I can think of is knocking back some hard liquor but I gave up alcohol for Lent. Goddammit :lol:
Commiserate with me fellow parents and tell me your tales of crushed dreams. How do you handle disappointing youth sports results? None of it really matters of course but try telling that to a kid who's bumped and bruised with nothing to show for it.

I might be alone in this but Link's Awakening is my favorite Zelda ever. I appreciate it more and more as I get older. How they managed to pack such a fantastic world onto a tiny lil Game Boy cartridge is just beyond me.
First game with:
- proper minibosses
- unique dungeon music
- BOMB F'IN ARROWS
Hilarious dialogue. Marin is bae. The story is phenomenal. WHY THE shite AM I CRYING AT A frickING GAME BOY GAME?
Seriously. Nintendo had no reason to go as hard as they did with Link's Awakening, but they did and I love them forever because of it.
Also an unintended side effect: the screen skip glitch. My favorite glitch in any video game. Retrieve Bow-Wow after the first dungeon, do the glitch, and just wreck like 90% of the map. So, so fun.
Anyway, LOZ1 occupies plenty childhood memories too. Outstanding game, if a little dated.

Transporter is probably my #1 guilty pleasure movie ever. No movie has ever made me cringe in embarrassment at how absolutely fricking stupid it all is while simultaneously making me hoot and holler and laugh my arse off at how much fun it is. When it was over I had the biggest shite-eating grin on my face.
re: Mazda CX-5...Any of you have experience owning a Mazda?
Posted by messyjesse on 2/21/26 at 7:07 pm to doublecutter
Wife and I both have Mazdas (2015 Mazda3 and 2018 CX5). They've been fantastic cars for the 6+ years we've had em.
And yes, that soul red is the prettiest paint job on the road. Nothing comes close.
I'm not some car nut either, I just appreciate a good ride. I would love to own American but Mazdas are as solid as they come.
