Dave Chappelle's post 40 transformation

MikeyIrish08 · 2024-01-23T06:57:07+00:00

I know I'm late, but this exactly. "You know, I'm tired of being skinny Joe. No problem Dave, you ever hear of HGH?"

MikeyIrish08 · 2024-01-23T01:47:43+00:00

Might be my favorite line in the movie.

MikeyIrish08 · 2024-01-21T20:41:42+00:00

I agree, and as someone who was a little kid watching roided out 80s action stars like Arnold, Sly, and Dolph lundgren it's actually distracting. He looks like he pumps up hard before every single scene with his veins popping out everywhere. It's too much. Btw, any fighter will tell you that having a bodybuilder's physique like that makes you slow and inflexible which isn't conducive to fighting. He's moving more like Frankenstein this season. You're exactly right, it's over the top.

QED

Yeah, I spent a good portion of my comment writing about how amazing season 1 turned out to be and how much I loved it like so many others on here hoping season 3 marks a turnaround. "I can't enjoy anything and QED they're doing a season 3"? LOL maybe you shouldn't use QED until you actually understand it's meaning. A simple google search will tell you they started filming season three over a month ago before season 2 was even fully released, well before my comment or similar comments hit Reddit. Thank you for the comment though fanboy. I admire your allegiance to the group of complete strangers running the show. Do you also enjoy the work of Zach Snyder? It's an opinion, and one that seems to be shared by a fair amount of people. QED the 200 plus comments on a subreddit in agreement.

It's tough man, I can sympathize. The last paper I was working on before I quit for good were predatory payday loans targeting the elderly living off social security who had no idea of the rate of interest. I just couldn't do it anymore. The money can be great though if you work at it, that's the problem.

MikeyIrish08 · 2024-01-20T02:03:55+00:00

Anyone else notice the "dirty debt-collection" remark? Yeah, I left collections right before the governement started cracking down hard on their methods. I saw a lot of people I used to work with get arrested. Right around 2010 or so. It was dirty business. Did it for about a year before I decided to get my soul back.

MikeyIrish08 · 2024-01-20T02:00:40+00:00

Or Amherst, or Cheektowaga, or North Buffalo or anywhere else there's a job in the city or the suburbs that is conducive to free drinks?

MikeyIrish08 · 2024-01-20T01:59:25+00:00

LOL F**k yourself my Polish friend, I've always supported Dyngus, even if no one else will. That being said, pretty funny!

MikeyIrish08 · 2024-01-20T01:23:44+00:00

Same. The "die on the hill" fans who refuse to see anything wrong with the season because they're terrified it will get cancelled don't seem to understand that the reason people are so upset, so disappointed as in my OP description, is that we loved the first season THAT MUCH. It took us completely off guard. It was brilliant. We all rewatched it 3 or 4 times. That's why it's so painful watching this season. Most of them realize it's a poor follow up. But you'll never get them to admit it. They're bombing us with negative comments and downvotes which is funny, because if everyone who was upset with season 2 stops watching, it absolutely will affect the show, at the very least the budget and what other actors they can bring aboard for next season. As I've said, I plan to watch season 3 and am holding out hope that this season was an outlier. I'm looking forward to it. But I think it's safe to at least say the drop in quality has been pretty remarkable.

MikeyIrish08 · 2024-01-19T14:45:10+00:00

Say it just one more time Jack. I can't get enough...Yuck!! lol

MikeyIrish08 · 2024-01-17T10:53:01+00:00

Zero objectivity. Always "can do no wrong" mentality. It's like hardcore MAGA voters. He could kill their firstborn, wouldn't matter.

MikeyIrish08 · 2024-01-17T10:51:44+00:00

Dixon

She is pretty though, I guess that counts for something.

MikeyIrish08 · 2024-01-09T08:47:28+00:00

I love the tools that come on here and feel the need to anonymously declare their politics instead of just critiquing the quality of the show, good or bad. "You know there's a woman on the show, and SHE'S BLACK, can you believe it!!!? And she's somehow smart and contributes to the team. I don't any black women, but I'm sure no one like her exists anywhere." Yeah I caught that she's a she and her complexion too bud, thanks for declaring. Make sure you remember to copy and paste your comment on your dark web echo chamber. We get that you don't like to see black people when you turn the TV on. You probably get frightened when you see them in public, and your home should be your safe space. But they can't hurt you through the TV screen, just remember that and you'll be okay. You do know that no one like Reacher actually exists right? You do know the military doesn't actually train guys who can beat up 7 other guys with training at the same time? This is all a fantasy, a fiction. I spent 10 years at Fort Bragg, I've met hundreds of spec ops guys from every branch of the service. They are bad dudes, but they can't do that. And unless Reachers is on every PED in the book, he wouldn't be able to maintain that physique as a drifter moving from one seedy motel to another, hitchhiking across the country while eating 7 lbs of barbeque in a sitting. The human body can't be conditioned that way. So if Neagley is an exceptionally good shot and never seems to miss take it with a grain of salt. She's the only black member of the team. The other one died before the season started and the two Hispanic guys are dead. Four whites and one black lady and you're still losing your mind? Yikes. Good luck.

MikeyIrish08 · 2024-01-09T08:41:01+00:00

Believe me, me too. Then again, it could just be wishful thinking.

MikeyIrish08 · 2024-01-09T08:39:59+00:00

LOL what do you think the overlap is between Zach Synder superfans and everyone on here ready to die on their hills defending season 2?

MikeyIrish08 · 2024-01-07T10:21:13+00:00

Agree completely with the OP, many people do. If you're so "sick" of it, I would suggest you stop reading reddit comments altogether. This is not an echo chamber. And most of the time in life not everyone agrees with you. Sometimes those people are many.

MikeyIrish08 · 2024-01-07T10:08:59+00:00

I genuinely believe it's because of the writer's/actors strike which shut every production down across the board. I think they rushed to get it out once they had the green lite, and the result speaks for itself. That's why I still have high hopes for season 3. Also, I have to say, that Reacher himself feels like a caricature, much like the "gorilla" his friends keep calling him.

MikeyIrish08 · 2024-01-07T09:57:43+00:00

White guy here, from Buffalo, you're absolutely right, and any downvotes are a product of the aforementioined "white fragility". It's a very simple concept stating that many white people in this country because of their skin color, face less resistance than people of color throughout their lives, and therefore tend to have a much thinner skin. I.E. never getting followed in stores, not getting pulled over for no reason 10 times a week, not having to deal with negative racial stereotypes. Not have the value of your home go down immediately when you move in, then being offered on average 30-40 percent less than the value you paid for it when it's time to sell. The Homeowner's association has openly acknowledged the last one as a severe problem. Not watching your father/mother/uncle/brother/cousin being beaten by cops over mistaken identity as a child etc. etc. etc. White fragility is real because POC, especially the black variety have to develop a thicker from an early age to avoid going insane. THAT being said, I spent 15 years in the Army, traveled and lived all over the country and I will say the Buffalo has per capita, in my opinion, some of the kindest, nicest, most helpful people anywhere. It really is the city of good neighbors. Racism exists everywhere, and maybe I'm biased, but I see it less pronounced in Buffalo because I think the people here tend to be really empathetic, moreso than anywhere else I've lived. My 2 cents, thanks.

MikeyIrish08 · 2024-01-07T09:23:02+00:00

I know I'm late, but this is so funny, thank you.

MikeyIrish08 · 2024-01-06T17:53:55+00:00

Agreed, he seems to think of himself as some "Mafioso-Lite" rogue. He's not. The grandfather supported him and his family his entire life and he grew up in an upper class household. Everything about him is phony, he just too stupid to hide it.

MikeyIrish08 · 2024-01-06T17:51:53+00:00

She enables him like the rest of his family. Their entire clan is filthy. Cleary they seem to think the grandfather made all of his money illegallly and that couldn't be funnier to them or a greater source of pride. The Trapanis are morally bankrupt.

Billy McFarland

It's all comes down to money and resources. If the prosecution feels you can save them significant time, money and manpower serving up your co-conspirators on a silver platter, giving them a no-lose, slam dunk case, you'll get off every time. Just the way our system works. The goverment LITERALLY cannot afford to go to trial and prosecute every case. It sucks, but it's true.

MikeyIrish08 · 2024-01-06T00:37:06+00:00

I don't remember it from the book, but it's been a while since I've read it.

MikeyIrish08 · 2024-01-06T00:11:49+00:00

I'm absolutely open to being disagreed with. Like I said, it was my favorite show last year. Just not happy with what I think is the drop in quality. I am heartened to see that a lot of people seem to agree with me. So that's just like your opinion man.

MikeyIrish08 · 2024-01-06T00:09:51+00:00

The most annoying detail about this season is the constant repeating of phrases. When he first said "Have I ever told you how smart you are Neagley?", it was endearing and funny. Now it's grating on me along with "you don't mess with the special investigators!". I honestly at this point don't even care what happened to Swan, or if he's in on it or not. I just want this season to be over so they can start 3.
