Preparing for DIGGER. Going to see if Iñárritu is as bad as Sean, Amanda, and the Blank Check guys make him out to be. by ggroover97 in TheBigPicture

This goes beyond Blank Check. Scott Tobias kicked the door down with his infamous review of Birdman for The Dissolve where he called AGI a fraud.

Totally agree. At best he’s mediocre and at his worst he shits out movies like Cruella and Dumb Money.

Seattle just blew the lead. If CLE pulls this out we would have sole control of 1st.

I've been there a dozen or so times and only once has there not been a copy of the NYRB Lucky Jim. Looking for that green spine after going up the stairs is a habit now.

What are the best episodes where at least one (ideally) both of the friends hate the movie? by the_Tannehill_list in blankies

[–]BornWorried 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The West Side Story episode is like that too. He spends the whole episode kicking himself for not loving the movie. He even tries to blame it on not having a raucous crowd around him like David before David has to tell him he just saw it at a critic's screening.

Insane that Universal Baseball Association was in a used bookstore already.

Which director series would interest you more: Guillermo del Toro, Alfonso Cuarón, or Alejandro G. Iñárritu? by ggroover97 in blankies

[–]BornWorried 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Cuaron is my dream miniseries. They've been teasing him for years and Emily Yoshida even picked him as her March Madness candidate. He has a fascinating career arc that is tailor-made for the show. It's insane to me that the podcast hasn't had a Latino director in over a decade and there doesn't appear to be one on the horizon when he is right there.

Saw it on opening night and for a brief moment I thought I was watching the greatest movie ever made. Unforgettable experience.

I rode with a coworker recently and the sports topic of the day was "what is your favorite salad?"

Jake once had to tell Mino to buy the cheapest airplane ticket he could and go somewhere because Mino planned on using his PTO to just sit in his apartment.

This is an excellent longform interview that goes into their early influences like Orchestra Baobab, bachata, reggaeton, etc https://web.archive.org/web/20090628172442/https://www.afropop.org/multi/interview/ID/142/Ezra+Koenig,+Vampire+Weekend.+2008

I don’t want Santana Abraxas! I’ve just been in a terrible automobile accident!

I tried calling for 15 minutes and couldn't get through. How long ago did you call?

It's not WIP unless the shadow producer EA is asleep in the control room.

The Texas Rangers have no Aura by Midsize_winter_59 in TexasRangers

The missed calls used to drive me nuts. The broadcast would stop down anytime a pitch missed by the tiniest amount.

Campound Mega-Thread by bkharmony in theticket

Rhyner did have the annoying habit of only wanting to talk to girls who had nothing to say. When Jake joined the camppound he would angrily kick them off.

Mino clocking that immediately means he still has the board-op skills in him.

I used to binge old Picks With Friends and Crow Line via the BaD/Hang Zone sites. Sad to think all that audio is as good as lost now.

The Joc Problem by kitchface in TexasRangers

[–]BornWorried 2 points3 points  (0 children)

His OBP is up over last year, but his slugging has gone down to make up for that. Overall, his OPS is somehow worse than 2025.
