  1. I see the Hound more as Harley Race.
  2. I propose we rename this thread the Olympics Dumpster Fire Thread
  3. Oh, huh. I didn't even notice that at first. Yeah, I'm not digging the "techno organic" lines. It probably would be fine without them.
  4. And with your comment, Niners has taken a screenshot of it and has saved it to his computer's hard drive, his phone's memory, to Google Cloud, to Dropbox, to OneDrive, and even to a Zip drive. This will be all the ammunition he'll ever need.

    I like Jared, but I like Dinesh and Gilfoyle more. Particularly Gilfoyle exposing something dumb about laws and regulations. It's always weird to me to think that Gilfoyle was the super skinny geek friend from Freaks and Geeks.
  6. That's a hell of a point. I didn't think about it like that.
  7. Yes. Basically all of that. I think WWE would have been in a much better place at the top of the card if post-Shield breakup had that framework. Most of us have repeated that as well. People want to boo the shit out of Reigns. It's what feels natural. And then, after awhile, it's a given that Reigns would slowly turn face, which would be a far more successful way of turning him face than anything they've put the guy through. The problem is, it would require creative to abandon the "push 1 guy" mindset and it would require them to actually feel their audience. Most of the time, they're so out of touch that they can't even do a mediocre job of manipulating the audience. We've also talked about why a good promoter gets you to buy into what they're selling, but Vince and creative have nearly lost the ability to successfully manipulate the audience. I think a lot of that comes from their social media push and the creation of the "WWE Universe." You can't suddenly give your audience a voice and still control them, feeding them shit and expecting them to eat it. It's why they have to resort to doing stupid shit like muting crowds, which is only going to anger your audience even more.

    I wanted to say that it felt like Dinesh and Gilfoyle had fewer b-stories this year, but I don't think that's true. I think they had a b-story in each episode, but it wasn't as good as it was in past seasons, or just not as memorable. Season 5 needs more Dinesh and Gilfoyle, less of Jared and less of Richard being a dick.

    Wow. That Veep finale. Ended with a whimper instead of a bang. I think my favorite moment was Gary's meltdown, with Mike and Dan recording it. That was amazing. I also kept waiting for Selena to appear more human. Silicon Valley I think I enjoyed more. It was a very up and down season and they abandoned exposing something stupid about America's laws, rules, and regulations for about half of the season. That said, I was pumping my fist over the reveal of the Pied Piper buyer. Plus, the last 3 or 4 episodes were some of TJ Miller's best work. As usual, the finale looks like Richard and the team were victorious, but there's definitely some shit looming. I mean, did I misinterpret the ending, or was the issue about the shares not a joke? It really seemed like Erlich was going to hold that over Richard's head. Still not sure how I feel about them abandoning the platform, but maybe they haven't. All the issues of the platform could have been resolved by explaining how Pied Piper works in the simplest of terms.
  10. She has ships from the Iron fleet and the remaining ships from the masters.
  11. Wasn't Pycelle the one responsible for stripping Qyburn of his maester title? If so, holy shit, so many dudes getting got.
  12. lol, I suppose you're right `
  13. God dammit.
  14. I need so many eye roll gifs for this page. So fucking many.
  15. No one on the Cubs can stay health :/
  16. It's incredible. What has happened to education that made people so stupid? Is it because I'm now a responsible adult in my mid 30s and I think the younger generation is too dumb, just like my parents' generation thought about us? Or has general education declined to such a point that the vast majority of the population is ignorant to their actions and thinks they'll be coddled and can receive do-overs? I also realize that 18-30 year olds were in the majority for voting to remain, but I'm just having such a hard time understanding just how this could happen. Here's to hoping for a do-over I guess.
  17. FUCKING. IDIOTS. Part of me wants to say, "oh no, uh uh, you lie in the bed you make." The other part of me wants to let them re-do the vote to get it right because the last thing we need is more global instability or the EU dissolving.
  18. I know! It's crazy! I would never expect that kind of shit to come out of a country like England. The body is still warm and dude is already admitting that he duped millions of voters. Again though, many of those voters are so dumb considering they voted for something basically as a joke.
  19. All the people saying that they voted to leave, but didn't think anything would happen are so dumb. So massively dumb. Like, what the fuck did you think you were doing? God dammit. So, to be clear, voters fell for the ploys of a lizard man and British Trump, they essentially voted to make UK a soon to be poor country with no current plans on fixing all of the trade problems they just introduced because the lizard man and British Trump don't have any plans, UK will likely disband, and immigration will likely continue. Is there any way any of this can be undone?
  20. You have got to be shitting me. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2016/06/24/nigel-farage-350-million-pledge-to-fund-the-nhs-was-a-mistake/ "Oh, we didn't put out that advert! Er, um, I mean, that wasn't MY advert. Ok, well, it was, but it was a mistake! Thanks for voting, suckers!"
  21. I sometimes think Americans are incredibly dumb, but the more shit I see about UK voters who voted leave and thought their vote wouldn't matter is astounding. You fucking morons.
  22. I keep trying to remain hopeful for this new movie and they keep doing shit to make me doubt them. I'm sure my daughter will like it.
  23. I think it's funny that John Oliver's bit about this wouldn't air in England until after the vote.
  24. Given that this is WWE, I'm guesing they don't mention Roman's absence at all and fans will be even more pissed when he returns. Given that Vince and creative are on a death spiral of shitty booking, I wouldn't be surprised if Roman then wins the title. If that's the course of events, would it rival the fingerpoke of doom?
  25. Affleck's face was so stretched tight. He can barely move his mouth.
