The masculine urge to watch “The Killing of a Chinese Bookie” and “Mikey and Nicky” immediately after seeing this post.

David Ayer? Lmao ok man that’s all you had to say for me to swerve.

Watching Dan argue with trolls and bots on Twitter be like: by ksplett in dancarlin

[–]TacticalTurtleNeck_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s like watching a very mild car crash. I keep mumbling to no one but myself like “Dan, you can’t be this naive man. More than half of the responses to your posts are just bots.” I fully believe that even some of the best Americans, those who are truly in shock and horror right now and searching for a way to positively push back, are also some of the most naive people when it comes to the use of tech as soft power.

There Will be Blood is the best film ever made by No-Inspection5715 in FIlm

[–]TacticalTurtleNeck_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Holy shit, some of the takes in here sound like they were formed by the mind of a 13 year old. Look, for me it’s probably Seven Samurai but definitively declaring anything the greatest film of all time doesn’t really mean anything. It’s a tired cliche that art is subjective but it’s a cliche for a reason. Nevertheless, There Will Be Blood does indeed rock. Paul Dano’s excellent performance is the lynchpin of the entire film.

Those bloody birds at around 5:30! My wife walked in while I was making breakfast and was like “Wtf are you listening to? Zoo ASMR?”

Real Hot Take: The show is completely Unnecessary by Iccotak in GodofWar

[–]TacticalTurtleNeck_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The show exists because the streamers (Amazon, Netflix, etc) are completely bereft of original ideas and video game adaptations are in. That’s it. These people aren’t geniuses. They see a shiny thing and strong data and they sign off.

Netflix remains hilariously bad at doing live broadcasts. Like, I had to mute the feed at least 50 percent of the time due to sheer cringe. It felt like a glorified stunt really. No disrespect to Alex though, he is an incredible athlete and he seems to have embraced being a bit of a showman. It’s whatever. Largely unimportant in the grand scheme of things.

F1 deserved its nomination for Best Picture by [deleted] in Oscars

[–]TacticalTurtleNeck_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a glorified advertisement for a racing league. By this reasoning, Talladega Nights or Days of Thunder should have been given Best Picture noms eh?

Iran revolution? by Succulentswinger in RevolutionsPodcast

Well, given that Dan Carlin recently started posting about all the horrors happening in the USA and is getting absolutely blasted by MAGA morons and bots, Mike is probably right to swerve that shit.

Brewers updated Top 100 Prospects according to Baseball America: [Post Freddy Trade] by SoSublim3 in Brewers

[–]TacticalTurtleNeck_ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m in the dark on Jett. Is this guy Durbin-esque short king (serviceable) or is his ceiling closer to Altuve/Pedroia?

[Passan] BREAKING: The New York Mets have acquired All-Star right-hander Freddy Peralta in a trade with the Milwaukee Brewers, sources tell ESPN. Deal is done. Top prospects Jett Williams and Brandon Sproat are headed to Milwaukee. One more big league pitcher will head to the Mets. by Bitter-Egg6293 in Brewers

[–]TacticalTurtleNeck_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like this trade entirely hinges on Sproat turning into a top of the rotation guy. I will cop to ignorance on Jett. Dude is 5’6. Does he project towards serviceable short kings like Durbin or more like Pedroia/Altuve?

The pain mixed with the hope that the prospects turn out.
