I’m not able to watch right now, but what is going on?

No stoppage time? Is that the equivalent of a run rule?

re: Great Directors' worst movie

It’s not awful by any means, but Mickey 17 may be Bong Joon Ho’s worst. It’s definitely below all his Korean movies.

Colin might be more awkward in real life than Nathan. Some of those kissing scenes were so cringe. I almost had to close my eyes.


As awkward as he clearly is, I wonder if just being on camera made him 10 times worse. It honestly wouldn’t shock me if he never kissed a girl before, and if he hasn’t, I imagine the thought of his first kiss being on camera made it impossible for him to go through with it.
Just making those guys watch their girlfriends go at it with another guy for absolutely no reason. :lol:

All the careful, meticulous build-up of the first two acts was unraveled the moment Grace screamed


As much as I loved the movie, I do agree this marked a change. Honestly, it felt like the vampires could have won pretty easily at that point.

It doesn’t really change how I feel about the movie, but I definitely agree that’s where it did start to feel a bit more like a typical movie in the genre.
I like the concept and the execution as far as gameplay, but the editing (and some other filming choices) can be annoying at times.

Also, I'm always advocating subs over dubs for movies/tv, but for this show, there are definitely times I prefer dubs, especially when they spend 5 minutes explaining the rules of a game I've never heard of before. :lol:


Spoilers for episode 1 and 2 below:




I thought it was hilarious that in the game with corrupt cops, all the players on the team without corrupt cops basically just became corrupt cops (I'm honestly not sure if it broke the game or enhanced it). :lol:

Nazi paramount was so great.
Somehow, I was even more oblivious. I thought the premise was a couple guys made a deal with the devil to be successful musicians or something. I didn't even know it was about vampires. :lol:
This might end up being my favorite movie of the year. Loved it.

The official Wikipedia portrait of William the conqueror is hilarious. Really this is the best we could do? I find it hilarious that perspective in art wasn’t a thing until the renaissance.

It’s a picture of the Bayeux Tapestry, a famous depiction of the Norman Conquest. That particular section is of the Battle of Hastings. If you search google you will see other paintings of William, but it makes sense why the embroidery is used for the Wikipedia article.

Am I the only one who liked it? The father reveal was great. Wish Lochy wouldn't have woken up so that family didn't get a happy ending


I’m not sure it’s a happy ending. Their lives are gonna come undone.
I feel like I can stomach a fire breathing T-Rex more than whatever bullshite they’ll use to justify a kid being there. :lol:

I know others have already said this, but I feel obligated to emphasize how silly the plan to pretend to be a movie producer/director to get to Sritala’s house is. Surely Mike White could have thought of a better pretext.

So, do we take Timothy looking for the gun as he had decided to go murder suicide on his wife and Saxon?


I think he was seriously considering it. Don’t know if he would have gone through with it.

As maybe the lone Grizz fan here this is surprising yet not unexpected at all.

Yeah, we're 5th in the west but look at our record against the contenders.
We started strong but the defense has been dogshit the past month and a half.


There's a few of us. And yes, we have been quickly falling to the play in positions and a first round exit felt guaranteed.

They’re 5th in the west at 44-20, had to be something else going on?



44-29 (I know it's just a typo but still a big difference), we have lost every important game for months, and the team is clearly worse than it was 2 years ago. I'm not sure this is going to work out, but it doesn't feel like we are missing out on anything by not staying the course.

That said, doing it at this point in the season is odd.

If we are going for a retread I'm taking BJ Callaghan at this point.
Not only are we losing, we look like an inferior team trying not to get blown out.
