Step in at what point? Dude is (was?) an adult. I can't be the one totally responsible. Even people that are slightly inebriated will do stupid stuff. Do you just prevent your friends from consuming any alcohol?

There’s a huge difference between “don’t let your significant other drink at all” and “don’t let your significant other get so wasted at a public event he rips his shirt off and lunges over a fricking railing.”
I mean, what does this actually solve?

Bullying? They’ll find other ways.

Life comparing? They’ll find other ways.

Attention spans? They’ll find other things.

This does nothing except give legislators a chance to pat themselves on the back and say they’ve rescued the children while simultaneously taking another decision out of parents’ hands.
First of all, hope he’s gonna be okay. That was a gnarly fall.

Secondly, 100% this:

The gf and 2 other friends have to step in if he’s in that bad shape.

I get not wanting to be the “Debbie Downer” or party pooper or whatever, but baw was literally ripping his shirt off and pouring beers on himself in the stands (according to that Reddit post). Dude obviously needs to be personally responsible too, but you have to step in before it gets to that point.

EAST LANSING, Mich. – Michigan State has relieved athletics director Alan Haller of his duties, effective immediately, Michigan State president Kevin Guskiewicz announced via press release on Thursday.

Jennifer Smith, who serves as Deputy Athletic Director/Senior Women’s Administration/Compliance, and MSU basketball coach Tom Izzo will be interim athletic directors while a formal search is conducted to find a replacement.

quote:

Sources tell SpartanMag that Haller’s lack of vision and strength in the name, image and licensing fund raising space damaged his support internally among department coaches and administrators and ultimately donors.

From what I’ve seen on other boards, fans seemed to like him. Former MSU defensive back.
According to reviews. Currently at 89% on Rotten Tomatoes with the summary:

quote:

Nicolas Cage expertly rides the waves of toxic masculinity in this sand filled arena of torment.

Some of the reviews:

quote:

Characters blur together in a waking nightmare fueled by tribalism and toxic masculinity.

quote:

Cage gives another memorably unhinged performance in this surreal tale about a crisis of masculinity.

quote:

The Surfer may not be the most coherent critique of our unfortunate current social conditions, but it’s a primal scream which feels apt for the moment.

quote:

The Surfer is a strange, salty brew with exploitation vibes aimed at bullheaded toxic masculinity.

quote:

Everything about The Surfer's one-line pitch sounds ridiculous, but the film itself is a haunting set piece about localism, repressed memory, and toxic masculinity.

If you can't get enough of movies with The Message® then head to the theater this weekend for this one.

Julia Garner actually is in both. :lol: Although I guess since Silver Surfer is CGI, she could've set that up on her own schedule around this.
Interesting note about this particular flick: M/TV Board favorite Pedro Pascal was originally cast as Josh Brolin's character but had to exit to shoot Fantastic Four.
Just from a business perspective, it's always been weird to me how many of the TV news stations broke liberal, CNN included. 81% of adults aged 65 and older have a cable or satellite TV subscription, while only 34% of adults aged 18-29 do. Older people tend to be more conservative, so why would you intentionally choose the opposite side if your goal is higher ratings? At least be neutral.

Bucks had a 99.5% chance to win with 40 seconds left. :lol:

That’s a fricking fantastic trailer. Creepy, interesting, doesn’t give away the whole movie. I’m in.
Yep, I was coming in here to say the Marlins — logo and uniforms both. Embarrassing downgrade in all aspects.

I also hated the trend where college teams pulled their mascot logos for simple letter logos. The mascots were awesome.

re: Major League Baseball coverage

Yeah, I get MLB TV every year because the national coverage really is atrocious, especially compared to football and basketball.
quote:

In the interview, the Gone Girl and Saltburn star, 46, sifts through the iconic film closet owned by The Criterion Collection and selects her top picks. Pike’s first pick is I Am Curious, the 1967 Swedish erotic drama written and directed by Vilgot Sjöman that follows the story of a searching and rebellious young woman’s bold exploration of her sexual identity.

“My first pick is I Am Curious because I am curious,” Pike said. “And I’m also interested in the depiction of sex and sexuality on screen. I think it’s very interesting, the debate, where it’s taking us these days.”

She goes on to ask: “Are we entering an age of prudery? I’m interested in the way that wellness is taking over our lives and yet sex seems to be taking a backseat.”

Also, so that I properly follow the rules:









Watson AND Shedeur, how many unlikeable assholes do they need?
