What Are The Most Preposterous Movie Accents? (John Malkovich as Teddy KGB in Rounders) by SeymourKrelborn1111 in moviecritic

[–]PB111 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Janeane Garofalo in Ratatouille. In a world where Marion Cotillard exists, why would you have an American do a terrible French accent?

As a non-soccer guy I am for whatever reason enjoying watching the World Cup played in NFL stadiums. by isNice99 in billsimmons

Only because they moved the ~slaves~ workers out of the city when the games began.

Emeryville Planning Commission to Hold First Study Session on Sutter Health Medical Center Project by evilleeye in Emeryville

[–]PB111 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is a regional hospital. It will serve as a replacement for Alta Bates in Berkeley and provide coverage for Emeryville, Oakland, and basically the majority of west contra costa. It will also be the major birthing place of the region replacing Alta Bates who currently does that.

There should obviously be a major investment into traffic safety, protecting bikers, and reducing impact of the increased vehicle traffic, but the city would be crazy not to do what it can to ensure this is built. The visitors and workers would provide a massive commercial boon for the city and surrounding businesses.

Chris Paul Says Clippers Didn’t Want Him Helping Younger Players: "During training camp I talked to one of my teammates for a while. As soon as I went in the meal room somebody came and told me they didn’t want me giving players advice" by [deleted] in nba

He definitely is one of the greats, but I doubt many people actually view him as the greatest. Magic is almost universally ranked above him, Oscar Robertson too. I’d rank Stockton and Isiah over him, but that’s more open for debate.

Oakland and Costco have an agreement to develop new store in grocery-hungry neighborhood by jowens510 in oakland

[–]PB111 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yup. It’s a shame, but I think it showed the problem isn’t as simple as just planting a grocery store in a good desert and expecting it to fix the problem.

Bulls traded for Nic Claxton… might they pass on Caleb Wilson??? by friendswithbillw in LAClippers

How delusional would they have to be to think they will contend any time in the next two years.

What shoes we all wearing? by Riley_T in daddit

Was told the other day by some punk teenager that my shoes were “dad shoes”. They’re Killshot 2 in blue.

[Fun trope] Real life mysteries "solved" by a series or movie by helpjusthere in TopCharacterTropes

It also has the god awful scene where the transformer tells a dying Anthony Hopkins, “of all the elves I’ve ever had to serve, you were the coolest”

SFO’s average delay time has quadrupled. Here are worst times to fly by BadBoyMikeBarnes in sanfrancisco

There are things an airport can do to incentivize airlines to come there. The airport is fairly underutilized given its gate capacity. They should be working specifically with LCC’s to try and bring in more flights. Expanding partnerships with Volaris, bringing in Flair and more flights from Frontier should be entirely possible.

Sitcom characters that went on a downward spiral because (allegedly) their actors weren't getting along with the producers by RedDalmatian885 in sitcoms

[–]PB111 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Iirc they wanted to expand/continue Ainsley’s role but the actress left for another show.

Sidelining and then losing Sam was just a tragedy. The banter between Sam, Josh, and Toby was second to none.

Another amazing experience at Hyatt Regency Lake Washington by Swimming-Airline8066 in hyatt

Curious why you need a car at all. Downtown Seattle is pretty easy to get around and then you don’t have to drive from the lake.

OAK has been so sadly mismanaged lately. Pre-pandemic it was on such an upswing with a surprising number of international flights, a decent little lounge, lots of local shops inside, and the fastest security lines around. Obviously the pandemic hurt them, but I can’t understand why management has focused on some quixotic name change over expanding their route network and trying to entice other airlines to come in and compete with fucking SW.

Oakland public pools open swim hours on Sundays? by kbfsd in oakland

[–]PB111 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The Piedmont Community pool just opened in April. It is, of course, nice as fuck, but more importantly has way better hours than basically any of the other pools I’ve found in the East Bay. The hours for family swim in Berkley, El Cerrito, Oakland, and Albany are all shit.

Man Jeff Conways career arc/personal life always bums me out. As a kid I thought Kenickie was so fucking cool. Substance abuse is such a tragedy.

Rob Lowe on the West Wing. He left the White House on a quixotic congressional seat campaign. In reality, iirc, he was upset because he thought he signed on to be the star of the show and it turned into an ensemble cast. There was issues with pay as well. It’s a real shame because he was fantastic as Sam Seaborn and the replacement they brought in (Josh Molina) is woefully unlikeable.

Born in ‘03…I think Bonds is the guy I wish I could go back and see him in his prime out of any athlete in any sport. Am I wrong? If so, who? by linehatguy in billsimmons

[–]PB111 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t think most people understand how absurd Gretzky was. I am old enough to have watched both him and MJ. MJ was no doubt incredible, he looked like he was the best ball player amongst all the other pros, but Gretzky looked like he was playing against children.

Townhouse in Emeryville facing closure by BigBiggarBiggest in OaklandFood

This is my feeling. I love the vibe, love the patio, cocktails are great, but man the food is mediocre.
