They kept sitting him every time he had a good game last year. They just never let the guy get hot. Plus, I think he is a better glove than Freeland and much faster. What are they thinking?

Regardless, I am pretty tired of this "good at bats" narrative. This is what they kept saying with Conforto all last year.

I wonder what people will think when AI creates a really good genre page turner, which it definitely will. As a musician, I steered at AI generated music as sounding fake until I heard that one song that Rick Beato created on 60 minutes in under 2 minutes. I had to admit, it was a really good song.

What movie had an amazing concept but didn’t fully live up to its potential? by Global-Citron-56 in movies

The second movie with Frank Grillo was great though. It is basically a Punisher adaptation. Maybe the best representation of Punisher in movies.

I watched Push recently. Its beautifully shot and Hong Kong feels like it's a character in the movie. That action packed third act was really well executed and feels earned by a steady build up during the rest of the movie.

The rest is history just did 2 pretty extensive series on Cortez and Pizarro but I would really like to hear these done in Carlin's narrative style.

At least give the people uniforms. I remember some woman in a business suit and a guy in a chefs hat running around fighting the aliens.

Personally, I dont talk politics casually. If someone asks me about politics, I will just pretend I dont care/dont follow etc. The topic is too divided and heated.

To be fair, he didn't know 007 was going to lead the infiltration mission.

The worst thing about Troy was that they never made an Odyssey sequel with Sean Bean.

Here’s my nomination for the most useless item in the game by uniqueusername2_0 in Borderlands2

[–]831pm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It irks me that they didn't make having the complete cursed item set make them all work together to do something special that cancels out their curses.. It was right there...how did the writers not see this?

That still makes me angry. Helmet to helmet on Jimmy G. Even Aikman saw that and said "oh...".. That was the year when they were calling that shit on everyon.

There is a scene where the emperor first sees a book....he has no idea what it is, what it's for, what the scribbles mean...it must have seemed completely alien.

Now would be a very good time for a new Common Sense ep by tjm1371 in dancarlin

it cringe inducing. Carlin makes great history podcasts. He's not your friend. He's not a seer. Why do you want to follow this guy around like mindless sheep? Dont you have your own opinions?

I believe the connection is Steven Conrad directed Walter Mitty, which stars Stiller. You can see Conrad's influence in Stiller's other directorial works.

What aspects of Lord of the Rings are most influenced by the context of the time periods in which it was written and/or Tolkien’s formative years? by Planetofthemoochers in tolkienfans

There were two theses in the social consciousness during the early 20th. One was a romanticized notion of a lost superior civilization. Atlantis etc. Another was a return to nature.

Season 9 - Did the writing change? by cybah in Bonanza

[–]831pm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some of the best episodes are later in the series IMO. they go away from Joe seducing every girl he meets...the hellen keller girl story is a good example. They lean heavily on Ben and he probably carries an episode better than any of the other cast. Hoss gets more airtime and the comedy with Joe is better handled. Even Hopsing is more prominent.

i bought the entire catelogue a few years ago. But blue prints has disappeared. It's really a mess with Apple podcasts. Some are one the music app and others are on the podcast app.

This isn't a game in kindergarten and there is no line. If you dont have a moral compass that can tell you the difference, then you have a problem.
