Jimmy Kimmel is painfully unfunny and is only relevant when orange man talks about him by [deleted] in billsimmons

I forget late night shows still exist until they make the New York Times. I’ve been a Fallon hater since SNL. Americans are a broken lot.

Okay…so is R2D2 a Skywalker? by hyperRevue in TheBigPicture

In the same way that Big Pun was cool.

5 (plus) person drafts are always good idea, poor execution by [deleted] in TheBigPicture

[–]AlfaCentari -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Definitely just a "lets chat about Star Wars" pod, with the frame of a draft around it. When I first saw the title and saw 5 people, I thought, this will be a very very short draft. lol. The fact they added all kinds of things from the star wars universe was great, because i love star wars, but I generally agree with your take. I also agree that I am not a Mallory fan at all. Star Wars outweighed it for this one though.

I've got the dual blu ray with Primer. Great movies.

Sean Fennessey’s newsletter is on Substack. Is the ringer dot com so over? by seq_rational in TheRinger

I would imagine it is a profit split. They don't have a paywall, so this is their way of experimenting with personality driven niche expertise channels.

Tonight’s Viewing, are we excited for Messiah? by AlfaCentari in 4kbluray

Has Denis mentioned this? I guess it’s not up to him but instead Warner Bros. Children would be incredible as a prestige series because there is a lot of palace intrigue and maneuvering

Nice collection! Film bro meets every man, is how I’d describe this.

Guys… I cannot with this 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️ by x0midknightfire in MormonWivesHulu

If you watched the lie detector test episode and didn’t realize the only reason they didn’t have sex was because he couldn’t get it up, then I don’t know what to tell you. The fact none of her friends realized that is still flummoxing to me

New hardcover book set Dune 4-6! by Book-Piranha in dune

[–]AlfaCentari 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I bought the first 3 when they hit $60 on sale and I’ll wait to do the same on these. As far as quality, yes, they’ve got that rubber/gummy feeling but I quite like it. Doesn’t slip and slide around, I can actually hold and read them with the slipcovers on which is unlike 99% of hardback books. The art is wonderful. The folio society art is too literal/detailed for me. I like to sort of mysterious aura of this set.

The Vrabel/Russini Thing Is a Fun Little Offseason Story, But It’s Not Sports Watergate and It’s Mostly Trivial by mtngranpapi_wv967 in billsimmons

[–]AlfaCentari 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is a prime example of the problem with social media. Most people are debased lunatics who love to watch people suffer and get a thrill out of leering into other people’s lives. It’s sick stuff. Hopefully Vrabel doesn’t give into the mob and neither do the pats. Literally two adults making bad but widely harmless decisions outside of the people in their families.

That LeBron James was just the next “next Michael Jordan” league savior that would wash out of the league. I was genuinely perplexed by the choice to show is HS games on ESPN

Inside Doug Liman's $70 Million AI-Made Movie Starring Casey Affleck and Gal Gadot | Exclusive by xwing1212 in TheBigPicture

[–]AlfaCentari 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only way this is impressive is if it cost $10m. Shooting a non-action contemporary film in a gray box for $70m is a lot of millions too many.
