  1. I usually think the nepo baby shit is pretty dumb…except for Dakota Johnson who is one of the worst actors I’ve seen at this level. She is just awful. Every time I think of her I think of the extremely British criticism that Alan Rickman said about Emma Watson after the first or second Harry Potter movie: “Her diction is this side of Albania.” I still have no idea what that means but it sounds like a sick burn.

    Rickman did really enjoy all of the kids in those movies though. If he were alive, I can’t imagine him ever watching anything with Dakota Johnson in it.

  2. Fuck cancer. Ryno diagnosed with metastatic prostate cancer. He’s already started treatment. Hopefully it hasn’t spread too far or to the colon, liver, or pancreas.

  3. TRUE DETECTIVE MOTHERFUCKERS!

    The first episode of this season didn’t quite grab me in the way episode 1 of the first season did. I went back to watch that episode and the ending is so fucking cool that it would be very hard to replicate that. So my hope was on this season having a slow burn and getting progressively better and better.

    Not only did episode 2 do just that, but…

    Spoiler

    It connects back to season 1!!! Fuck yeah! We finally got to see Travis Cohle, Rust’s dad. There was a mention of the Tuttles from season 1. More spirals. And this time, creepy shit with animal bones and creepy dolls. So maybe Rust wasn’t tripping balls at the end after all and there is a legit supernatural thing happening here. I don’t expect Rust to return and hell, this may be the where the connection to season 1 stops, but I do love what they’re doing.

    And beyond that, this episode was creepy As fuck and fucked up. Christopher Eccleston has the weirdest “O” face ever. I’m trying to think if he ever made that same face in the Leftovers and I seem to recall he did.

    One final thing, while watching it, my wife and I at the same time were like, is that Christopher Eccleston. Then I was basically positive it was. We then both checked his IMDB page and the page for TD: NC and he’s not credited on either. Kinda weird for him not to have a credit on this…

    Buffalo is just never gonna beat Mahomes in a playoff game

    Eh, I used to think that about the Colts and Patriots. It will eventually happen. I just hope the Bills have as much sustained success as the Colts did to make it happen.

    Or even better, if the Packers would’ve beaten the Lions (again), gone to the Super Bowl, and all you bitter Bears fans could wallow in your tears as you search for your 800th new QB…

    Bitter? We know the Bears suck. What’s there to be bitter about?

  6. I can't believe it came that close to the fucking Packers moving on to the NFC Championship game. I mean, I would have loved it just for the hilarity of Rodgers doing fucking nothing this year and his former team getting one step away from the Super Bowl, and the potential for the Lions of all teams to beat the Packers, become the new kings of the north, and move onto the Super Bowl.

    Now let's go fucking Bills. Get this shit done.

    I saw a young guy at my gym running on the treadmill in Crocs.  Like WTF, I know people say they're comfortable but I can't see any way they'd be functional enough as running shoes.  Jesus. 

    They’re not comfortable. Also, they cause the soles of your feet to dry out and peel.

    I just see so many boys mostly when I go to pick up my daughter from school, middle school, and they’re all wearing Crocs. And pajamas. I went to the same middle school. We were NEVER allowed to just wear pajama pants. We’d have to call out folks and they’d have to come and bring us a change of pants.

    I used to joke about Jnco jeans making a comeback, but now I’d prefer that over whatever the fuck kids are wearing now.

     It’s not me who’s wrong, it’s the children.

  8. Regarding the desk, if they’re going to do desk spots, they need to go the WWE route and find a manufacturer that basically creates the desk out of laser cut sections that snap together and can be sturdy enough to stand on, but will also give and fall apart when someone is slammed on it.

    What they had on Wednesday was clearly like a weird half ass attempt at building the bones for the desk out of 2x4s and likely just used CA glue (basically super glue) to hold the joints together, but not as securely as wood glue or fasteners like nails or screws. The problem being is that even if that shit is framed with 2x4s held together with super glue, you’re taking a bump onto something really, really sturdy. 

  9. I’m pretty sure I’ve talked about the Outer Wilds before, but it’s easily in my top 5 games of all time and one of the best experiences I’ve had with my daughter playing games. A YouTube guy named FightinCowboy recently did a let’s play for all of Outer Wilds and the DLC. It was such an entertaining watch seeing someone go through the same struggles we did. It gave my daughter and me to try and find something like the Outer Wilds.

    Let me tell you, there’s nothing like this game. There are some that kinda come close though.

    We first tried out the Witness, but man, fuck that game. It’s really pretty, but it’s void of any character, there’s hardly any story, and it’s the most Jonathan Blow shit ever. The puzzles get nearly impossible just a few hours in and there’s like 500 puzzles to solve.

    So that brought us to Detroit Become Human. This wasn’t quite what we were looking for, but for a game I totally wrote off, it’s something we’ll come back to. Feels pretty special but we’re not hooked just yet.

    Then we started the Talos Principle. Hook this shit into my veins. This was almost exactly what we’re looking for. I don’t want to give too much of the story away, but I’m really digging the mystery of it and the puzzles are challenging without being impossible. There’s only been one I struggled with and had to go to YouTube only to see that lasers can go through purple walls. I never would have tried that on my own. So we’re looking forward to more of this and then playing the sequel.

    Others on our radar are Alan Wake, having her play Control but the abilities and controls may be too complex for her, Alan Wake 2, maybe the Forgotten City?, Ghost Trick if it’s on the Switch, and maybe some others. 

    We also have a goal to try and do a no death run through Celeste. I’ve beaten it, she’s beaten it, but we both died hundreds of times in the process. This might be our beat Punch Out blindfolded thing. Probably impossible, but we’ll give it a shot.

    Let this show be a reminder that any time a company positioned Joe in the mid card in the last 20 years they were absolute fools. Half of why his RoH world title run was so legendary was how he carried himself as champ. No man in the US has been a better true ace of a company then Samoa Joe this century.

    There’s a definite argument to be made that Samoa Joe has been the best and worst used wrestler in maybe history. Joe being champ again makes me think of this:

  11. Rest of the show was great. I can’t believe it has already been a year since Jay passed. I was crying a lot. Jay never getting the big run at the top of a major company is like one of those crimes in wrestling that promoters should look at to make sure never happens again. Like Hook, Jay had such a unique look, aura, and style to him that you can’t replicate and maybe that’s because he was a real motherfucker.

    Christian vs Dustin was like the “DEAN~! Memorial This is Pro Wrestling Motherfuckers” match if I ever saw one.

    TK is onto something with this quasi-face run for BCG. I’m hoping it leads to the unification of the Trios titles. It’s time to get them off of the Acclaimed.

    Even though I know Roddy vs OC will be great, I’m really not feeling this Undisputed Kingdom run or faction. Part of that is the best Mike Bennett ever was was in TNA in the wedding angle. Taven is….basically the most OK wrestler in existence. Together they’re incredibly milquetoast. Imagine a world where fucking Roderick Strong of all people has more charisma and is more entertaining than almost everyone else in the faction.

    Anna Jay looks like she’s back to cosplaying as Zatara and that’s ok with me. Deonna had a fine match with her and the post match angle was hilarious.

    The Bucks interview. Ugh. Rarely have I been a fan of the character change into the “respect me for who I really am” thing. It also doesn’t help that Matt is usually all over the place in his interviews. Sometimes that works, other times it doesn’t.

    So we’re trying to make Private Party a thing again. Coooool…

    Finally, I can definitely get behind “Trent: Fed Up Shitkicker” If that’s his character change. Plus, Chucky sighting!!! Glad he’s on the mend. At some point this year, I’m hoping Trent and Chuck get fed up over being one of the last original teams and not getting the respect they deserve and finally winning AEW tag gold.
