Ah, of course. even says on package, had just never heard of it so thought that was a description

ok, I recognize half the people in that picture. What movie is that from?

Ok, serious question about Cricket. I enjoyed when I could watch Big Bash from Australia, but sadly don't get to watch much anymore. My brother recently got a channel that shows a lot of cricket and the question is this: Why does it seem like there are only 2 guys per team that can hit/bat well? You constantly see that the first 2 batsmen score like 100+ between them, yet everyone else behind them feels like they struggle to match that amongst them all. I am sure there must be a reason for this and maybe the perception is wrong, but I have wondered this also.

And sadly, I think I fit all 3 of those, though haven't seen Dune II yet, I really want to. I just have the problem of during tax season I am working 6 days a week and on my 1 day off, I rarely feel like going anywhere.

Steve Young?

I am in part 2, where Esra is 13. I like how he is using the opening of this series to "humanize the Goblins". I also really like Niblik. I tend to do the audiobooks, and Tim Gerard Reynolds is an amazing reader, one of the better ones I have heard. After finishing this book, I am seriously thinking of going back to Riyria Revelations with an understanding of how this series and the Age of Legends fits into what happened. The whole series could be taken as the character arcs of 2 characters (3 I guess if you include Trilos): Morn DuLay and Torin (Kyle, Malcom, Uberlin, etc.) Is fascinating and I can't wait to see what he does next.

I have been listening to Noleyn and then Faralin, just started Esrahaddan, by Michael J Sullivan set in his world of Elan. These predate the Riyeria books and post date the Rise of the empire series. They are the transitions from the age of legends to Riryeria books and how we got there. They have some serious gut punches, but if fans of his other books, as I am, I highly recommend.

After losing Osprey to AEW, apparently NJPW has also lost Okada to AEW. That is 2 very big holes to fill for them.

Everytime I hear they want to remake that movie I cringe thinking of what someone else's "vision" would do to it.

could have been worse, could have said she wants to feed you to her nine ferrets, or was that implied. I mean, some of these library late fees can be very strict.

I smell discrimination lawsuit. I suspect there are a number of lawyers trying to find phone numbers right now.

I think only match that surprises me was the BCC vs FTR, given they were fighting in an arena known for the great tag teams and FTR's home state. Since the rift is about FTR looking at the past and the BCC looking at the future, this seemed like a good spot for an FTR win. Not a fan of his, necessarily, but White is being wasted in this group, but its a problem of too many wrestlers in AEW and not enough room at the top. I also, sort of, expected them to give Swerve the title (of course, that would have been rewarding a guy who brags about breaking into another man's home and threatening his year old child), but not surprised they didnt and having the Bucks, after all they did (and honestly, I feel like AEW doesn't know what to do with them)beat Allin and Sting in his last match would have seemed to be stupid. Having Osprey win gives him the chance to leave Callis, and since they had O'Reilly show up, I wonder if he won't be forming a new United Empire or something. The 8 man match apparently was put together quickly after another match fell through called Meat Madness Match.

I liked Steve Martin's Dead Men don't wear Plaid too. the interspersing of the noir scenes if fun, especially as I recognized all of them.

It's too bad the death of Fred Gwynne didn't allow them to do the follow up. Rumor had it that the Judge reached out to Vinny when he had legal problems. Pesci and Gwynne's on screen chemistry was so good and played off each other so well, would have loved to see it.

the day there can be a picture of HU on first and Wat on second would be the best.

Aikman isn't bad either, though he has become less so in recent years. Romo reminds me of Aikman when he was younger. Their analysis was usually spot on and they weren't afraid to call players or coaches out for decisions/plays, say unlike Collinsworth, whom I really liked on the hbo show but as an announcer he tries to hard to not insult anyone. I really want him to start talking about receivers who drop easy passes too often, because that was something as a receiver he never did.

Love that movie.

The problem with doing Madam Web movie, unlike with Morbius or any of the others, is that she was always, at best, a support character, not a primary character. too bad about Morbius, since would have been interesting for them to do some of the Blade/Morbius/Black Cat(?) trio of stories.

Man, these Deepfakes are getting really good.

I am in the "they are trying to ride the coattails of the Marvel Cinematic Universe successes". I mean, even the "failures" for Marvel would at least be considered ok to other studios, I would think. Of course, not learning the lesson that the reason for Marvels success was due to directors, writers, and for the most part, actors who actually understood the original medium and enjoyed it, is another matter. I have said before, and I know not all agree, but even the bad MCU movies are better then most the stuff put out by any other studio. And all this reminds me of the 90s FF so they could keep the license, without even releasing a movie.

your right, wasn't thunderball. Felt like You Only Live Twice, only Submarines instead of Spaceships. not exact, but felt very similar.

This movie, especially the ending, always felt like a remake of Thunderball(?)

I think you answered your own question.

Taxidermy? I find it hard to believe that Bert and Big Bird would give an angry bird, though the Elmo/Oscar makes total sense.

I so hope the same people come back and do more of these. And the fat Dragon was hilarious, far more then I thought would be. "What does a Bard do?", how many times in a game did we ask that.
