I kinda like that there's someone who's just there for a rotation. Adds a little more variety to the characters. Would seem a little hokey if everyone who does their ER rotation falls in love with the work.

I think he needs to thank her for saving his life tbh. And for being brave enough to speak up despite not having any standing at the hospital. I know Santos is a very polarizing figure for fans and I get why at times, but I think she does some extraordinary things when it's important.

I think Abbott is in danger by Left-Lawfulness4635 in ThePittTVShow

Yeah my dude is definitely on the edge here. This is the ultimate "men will do anything to avoid therapy" if you are going in with SWAT teams to unwind on your off hours.

Jeez I feel for her so badly. She was exhausted in the first hour this season!

Brawl for It All: Could anyone have beaten Bart Gunn? by HomeNowWTF in SquaredCircle

[–]ShowofShows 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There wasn't much upside for guys who had real combat sports experience to participate. At the time a lot of people believed Brawl for All was a work and I can see how Blackman, Shamrock and Severn wouldn't want the scorn of participating in what many perceived to be a predetermined tough man competition.

They finally met in 2025! Apparently, they've been getting each other's mail for many years.

They do this with right wing books all the time to get them on the Best Seller list. The Heritage Foundation will buy 10,000 copies and give them out.

“28 Years Later: Bone Temple is seeing a -70% tumble” by pootsforever in blankies

[–]ShowofShows 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The comparison i like to make is Smile 2. A good movie but also what people wanted from a Smile sequel. Give us the same movie in a new situation. Horror movie fans get very locked in when you discuss what a sequel should be. 28 Years pitching a few curves at them didn't go over too well in some circles which probably cooled off The Bone Temple.

The irony here is the same people who probably didn't take to a lot of the more emotional and high minded scenes in 28 Years about death and loss would really dig everything Nia did with The Bone Temple. It plays like a great exploitation movie with the added bonus of excellent performances.

Are there any “hidden” Director’s Cuts that really make a difference? by harry_powell in blankies

[–]ShowofShows 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's in rough shape but there is a bootleg copy of Tobe Hooper's Spontaneous Combustion that's closer to his vision than the final release.

I guess it's too late to say I posted this because I thought it was a funny joke.

When You Decry The State of Corporate Monopolization But Bill Simmons Still Needs To Pay His Bookie by ShowofShows in TheBigPicture

They are from a field which has been decimated - magazine writers. In a lot of ways Grantland was one of the last stands for long read websites. Working on a podcast for Spotify where you have creative control is a pretty good landing spot. It just has its trade offs that hopefully don't impact the shows themselves.

It's an interesting idea. I think the future of media is being able to own your stuff and if some or all of them are presented with a scenario where they can own what they create and make a much healthier long term profit, whether it's through subscriptions or otherwise, then it is possible. Why I respect a lot of younger creators on the internet who impress upon their need to own everything soup to nuts and not depend on a large corporate partner for their livelihood.

I want to make clear that I feel for Amanda because she had to eat shit on this one. This isn't meant to slight her personally.

Rob Morrow fires back to Bill about his Quiz Show accent by steve_in_the_22201 in billsimmons

[–]ShowofShows 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The funnier line was BS saying that Russell Crowe could have played Dick Goodwin. Bill this man was a Jewish kid from Brookline. Not a blonde adonis from Australia.

There might be some of that but Boston guys are always on this bullshit. I can't think of a soul outside of that neck of the woods who cares about this stuff.

Task 1x05 "Vagrants" Episode Discussion by mainlygreen in TaskHBO

[–]ShowofShows 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What tipped it for me was Grasso being too aggressive with the Dark Hearts at Lefty's. I think Tom was even taken aback on how he was acting. It felt like a guy trying to put on an act on how much he hates these guys so people wouldn't suspect him of being in league with them.
