For starters, being forced to install bogus cylinder deactivation technology to meet unrealistic CAFE standards imposed by our Government.



Guaranteed that the government bought Chevies have all of this deleted.
It is an electric version of the very first Datsun/Toyota ultra basic trucks.

Nothing wrong with that. At all.

I'm getting there. If it's not the people talking the entire time, it's that one tone deaf waif behind me screaming the lyrics out of tune.

I'm all for people having a good time and singing but the audiences have devolved.

CRV or a RAV 4,


CRV has a CVT. And a turbocharged engine.

I'd go for a Mazda CX5 or CX50 (not the turbo variants). That 2.5 is super reliable and they have "ancient" 6 speed autos.

Whelp I was not expecting this. I'm assuming this happened in the game.

Not on the level of Dead Ned or the red wedding but surprising nonetheless. I assumed girl boss was going to (improbably) save him.

I don't find the mousy little villain to be very credible.

It occurred to me that I'd already seen most of this in The Walking Dead.

Which turned into its own dumpster fire right around the time Negan showed up (the actor sucked).
The Great Depression created the Greatest Generation.

Not saying I want another one. But hard times forge hard men.

Levy said the story is set a few years after the events of Episode 9 (The Rise of Skywalker). The movie will be a standalone and feature new characters.


Been saying this for years. Needs to be a whole new story with whole new characters, but in the same universe.

The sequels just bent way over backwards trying to tie into the original trilogy.
Ryan, please don't bring your puffy Barbie/Fall guy cheeks to this. It's embarrassing.

I don't know about most likeable...but I didn't know he did this MTV show in character, and that's funny as hell.

I do agree with this assessment. He's probably the biggest and most RELIABLE movie start of my generation. His batting average on watchable, entertaining, high quality movies is very high.

I just wish he'd taken more chances. He should have won several oscars and was ignored.

Shawshank. A perfectly fine movie. It just doesn't belong with the greats.

Cool. Then no reason for y’all to keep watching and bitching in these threads.


Meh. I might hate-watch it and still bitch in these threads. Probably won't provide the fodder that Yellowstone did. But we're talking about HBO, who used to produce great shows.

Maybe Hacks will be ok. We'll always have Sopranos, BoB, Chernobyl, etc.

Not sure it is good when the main character of your show is someone that the audience wishes would get killed.


Spunky precocious lesbian girl hear me roar watch me take down this man twice my size girl.

I too was hoping she would get offed going into that abandoned store.

HBO just can't help themselves.

Why were people like Linda Hamilton more believable?
Congrats, Gators. You were my pick to win it all. I don't think Alabama or Auburn beat you at all this year, right? And some of them were not particularly close.

I can admit when I envy things about other SEC schools. Winning back to back titles, one of which was in the same year as a Football natty is so impressive.

This win just builds on that.

Well done.

PS: suck it, Auburn. I'm glad you lost.

His career ended like a wet fart here, so I can't say I hated to see him go, but hate that he's got the annual "jilted green room guy" written all over him.


I wish the very best for Milroe

Outside of the SECCG game where Hurts became a folk hero, the fanbase was done with him too, and I would like to see examples of people here thinking he was going to make it in the NFL. I was one of them who thought: "no way."

And yet here we are, with Hurts having a Super Bowl and MVP.

I think Milroe is better than some of the head scratching 1st round QB picks in the past few years. Or at least he as as much upside and potential. And he played in the best/toughest conference, and produced some BIG TIME WINS over several of our conference's best, including a win over defending national champions UGA to win the SEC. That's BIG TIME.

No I cannot ignore his low moments. But I can see him dazzling some NFL teams in workouts and interviews and being given a shot.
