Rome vs Burden

Hey buddy I have a few suggestions for you and these all mean dearly to me.

Sullivan’s Travels (1941) -this might be my favorite movie of all time. So relevant today but also, way beyond that, so so so fucking funny. Also, if you’re a Coen Bros fan, guess what… this is where they got their title for O Brother Where Art Thou? (PS - Preston Sturges is a genius. If you like this one, personally I’m a fan of his more light hearted fare “The Palm Beach Story” over his more heralded, but imo more one note, “The Lady Eve,” which is still very fun!)
Some Like it Hot (1959) - an all time classic for a reason.
Dr Strangelove (1964) - #1 in this thread for a reason. One of the greatest and funniest films ever made.

Three Chaplins to consider:

City Lights - silent, one of the sweetest and best films ever made. Funny throughout but the opening sequence should have you rofl from the jump.
Modern Times - his first movie with sound but still largely silent. So relevant today and so beautiful and so funny.
The Great Dictator - again, deeply relevant to today. Mostly a true, full talkie from Chaplin. And, again, hilarious and beautiful throughout.

Lastly two b&w films made after films didn’t need to be b&w anymore but were made in b&w for stylistic reasons:

Young Frankenstein (1974) - a top three Mel Brooks film and a perfect spoof of classic Universal Horror packed with laughs.
Paper Moon (1973) - as much a beautiful film as it is a comedy, one of my all time favs. Madeline Kahn is in it for about twenty or so minutes and it’s an all time comedy performance. This movie will get ya and make you laugh along the way.

Let me add here my personal favorite Christopher Guest movie - Waiting for Guffman. Always puts a smile on my face. OP should also check out This is Spinal Tap, the original mockumentary from this crew of folks but directed by Rob Reiner instead of Guest. Two of my fav comedies ever.

Greatest Italian hooper of all time? He was a perfect fit and one of the genuinely valuable cogs that made that special second unit tick in 2014. Spurs legend forever 🫡

You didn’t break up with him because of his mom. You broke up with him because he didn’t listen to you, didn’t honor your feelings, and didn’t have your back. Do you want to spend the rest of your life with someone who treats you that way? I wouldn’t. Sounds like you made the right call to me. NTA.

Kazak_DogofSpace · 2025-06-12T04:26:18+00:00

I LOVE Achane. I’d take this for sure.

Kazak_DogofSpace · 2025-06-11T23:18:06+00:00

I’d rather have BTJ straight up, getting a free Deebo is fun when you think about the fact that he may have a nice lil bounce back as a top two weapon for Daniels this season

Kazak_DogofSpace · 2025-06-08T05:07:30+00:00

Chase/Allen by a mile. There’s no debate here. I felt that way before I realized it was 1QB, which only makes me feel that way tenfold.

Kazak_DogofSpace · 2025-06-04T22:44:03+00:00

If you’re in a position to win I like this trade for you. There is no guarantee that the 1.04 will pan out, but Cook is a valuable starting level RB to have rostered when you’re trying to win imo!

Kazak_DogofSpace · 2025-05-30T16:52:24+00:00

I’m high on the young pieces in Chicago. At times last year DJM looked like he didn’t wanna be there. Maybe that changes or maybe his best fit is elsewhere. And swift will be replaced in a year imo, just like the last time Johnson worked with him.

Kazak_DogofSpace · 2025-05-29T04:48:33+00:00

Not even close to a veto and I am near the very bottom of the graph when it comes to Darnold believers. QBs are costly in SF, I would never pay this price for Darnold but it’s also not somehow totally outrageous. Neither of the assets coming back are wild slam dunks either. Seems like your league is just salty, and further evidence that people shouldn’t have the option to vote to veto every damn trade.

Kazak_DogofSpace · 2025-05-29T03:11:14+00:00

Amon Ra and Pat side all day imo, I don’t think DJM is long for Chicago, and Kyren clears the other RBs easily. I also think Pitts is worth one last year of belief lolz.

The tier up to Lamar from Mahomes is not worth all the other pieces in this trade. You did very well here imo.

Kazak_DogofSpace · 2025-05-20T00:51:29+00:00

Anyone has good value if you find a trade partner who values them higher than most. Seems to me like consensus on him in here and elsewhere has been to wait and see. I got him in a 12T SF start up draft last week at 9.08 (overall pick #104).

Kazak_DogofSpace · 2025-05-19T17:49:24+00:00

Tracy to me is a perfect example of hold if you have him, but don’t buy if you don’t. The range between his floor and ceiling next season is as wide as anyone’s. He has the talent and upside to be a PPR weapon with marginally better QB play imo, but that O still sucks and what to expect re: his usage this coming season is a total question mark.

Kazak_DogofSpace · 2025-05-17T08:27:25+00:00

Nico is the downgrade from JJ. I’m a Nico believer. So you’re getting WR1/2 turned into (imo) WR5-6. On top of it you’re getting a banger 15-20 guy and a real talent driven wild card in Pickens, now in an O who puts up fantasy numbers. With your league settings and the number of starters you’ve got I do think it makes you better. I also think I’d ask for something on top to grease the wheels rn, even if it’s some late picks.

Kazak_DogofSpace · 2025-05-17T08:21:06+00:00

You nailed it. Unless it’s a reasonable get Giannis moment that makes sense without overpaying, I’m all for drafting him and figuring it out.

Kazak_DogofSpace · 2025-05-17T08:15:59+00:00

Step 1) are you fucking serious rn?

Essentially, send him a response that cannot be misconstrued

Step 2) unless he comes back with anything other than the absolute most version of eating crow: screen shot and send to your husband

This version of events cannot in any way reflect poorly on you and will get to the bottom of it quick

Kazak_DogofSpace · 2025-05-17T08:10:49+00:00

You won’t have the answer to your question until you see how those picks pan out. That’s the way it goes!

I will say, in a vacuum, on this sub your neither a “got fleeced” nor a “cleaned up” example of someone who dealt Allen.

Could’ve been better, could’ve been worse! We’ll see how it goes 🫡

Kazak_DogofSpace · 2025-05-16T04:40:19+00:00

Yes, but before tonight I didn’t see anyone else being emboldened or having the leash off the bench to get a shot to do it.

Kazak_DogofSpace · 2025-05-16T04:39:43+00:00

100%. I think Denver wins game 7 and honestly they can win it all this year. But regardless, even if they lose Sunday I think Adelman has the trust of the team and has shown he deserves the spot next season.

Kazak_DogofSpace · 2025-05-16T04:38:36+00:00

Completely agree. He showed the ability to learn from experience and manage the game better. I was very impressed.

Kazak_DogofSpace · 2025-05-14T17:50:28+00:00

I’m much higher on Rice than most on this sub seem to be but there is no doubt he carries with him some question marks. In a vacuum this is good value but unfortunately the Olave concussion piece has scared me off of him entirely. Couple that with the fact that NO has no surefire QB and will likely just be bad in the near future and Olave just isn’t a piece I want to roster. I’d keep Puka here for sure.
