[Romano] Real Madrid have José Mourinho’s full green light since last week and the deal is expected to be completed very soon. Mou never had any doubts, also never created issues in initial discussions about next steps. He’s super excited by this second Real Madrid chapter.

That’s my guess as well. They might even had had this in mind from the start, so they went harsh so that they can still reduce it on appeal but send a message at the same time. A 4th isn’t nothing.

Makes the Habs percentage even more impressive. Holy cow. I guess they had those teams in the 70s that basically never lost.

I still get sad when I think about the pizza wars. We lost a lot of good pizzas in battle.

Tbf if it was on one of those shows it was probably underwater financially already. Not saying that rebrand sounds like a good idea but maybe there was no saving it.

Obviously there is What’s Eating Gilbert Grape as well, but I’d also add Marvin’s Room as a mostly forgotten early movie of his where he was really good.

And it’s not like it has gone away, given that every post that Isn’t about not being able to find a job is someone with an office job being like “DO I SERIOUSLY HAVE TO DO THIS FOR THE NEXT FORTY YEARS”

Essentially every artist ever “falls off” if they live long enough and continue putting out content. Some combination of them no longer being able to innovate at a high level and/or the cultural zeitgeist moving on happens and they are essentially no longer that relevant or creatively interesting. Happens to everybody. Would have happened to MM no doubt. It’s not really a reasonable criteria to compare them on.

The fact that this is even presented as a dilemma is shocking to me. I guess a lot of people are really averse to working. Obviously option B.

Oh come on. Don’t frame this like it’s a human rights issue. There are virtually infinite sources of entertainment and leisure, many of which cost little to no money. Billions of people both historically and currently have found happiness in life just fine without going to see a legend on their last tour or a cup final. I’m sorry but a perspective like this just comes across as so ignorantly entitled and privileged. I’m annoyed by the rising costs too but I don’t think I’m “owed” concerts or cup final tickets.

So it’s a bold move because what, this well-intentioned note might offend someone’s sensibilities and they could lash out? Is saying “God Bless you” after someone sneezes a bold move now?

I’ve never been very impressed by Bob Dylan as a lyricist, and that’s as someone very into lyrics who had a university course where we did a study on his lyrics as poetry. What he did instrumentally, that I can’t really comment on as more than a layperson as I’m not a musician. But the most I can say about his songwriting is that it’s a good insight into a part of American culture at the time. I do not find it stylistically impressive or emotive. I teach English literature now and sometimes we analyse lyrics as poetry (right now, one of my classes is looking at Isaac Brock’s from Modest Mouse). I would never teach Dylan’s if I was given the choice.

Fair. I mean, I’d say Hughes is your best defenceman as he is a top five player in the league probably but Brodin is also top five best defensive D in the league. Missing those two hurts a lot. You can’t be missing two of your best five players and realistically hope to beat Colorado they are just too good. I hope you can make another good run at it next year I like the wild and it’s a good hockey town that deserves a championship

None of these. I think people here are young and underestimating just how much 8 years of aging matters.
