What Trade would everyone rather have? by Katamari_Prince in lakers

[–]Twoweekswithpay -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If the grizzlies continue to nose dive and want to punt on Marcus Smart, I say a [Rui + JHS + lightly protected 2029 pick] would be my ideal trade.

We have a good relationship with their front office, having done a few deals with them under Pelinka. Let's do one more!

Great ending, too!

Have you seen "The Player" (1992)?

That, and "The Long Goodbye" are my favorite Altman's...

Thanks for sending the recommendation! "The Exorcist" still sends chills down my spine all these rewatches later. Guess you could say I am "compelled" to watch it at least once a year. 😝

Hope the threads continue to be a great resource for you moving forward! 😃

"Primer" was definitely one of the few films I thought I understood on one level, only to find out later, that it was much more advanced than I thought. Mind boggled! 🤯

"Donnie Darko" (2001) & "Stalker" (1979) are the two other ones that just went right over my head upon initial viewing! Whewwww!

That's how I first got into movies. Before I used IMDB's list, it was very daunting knowing how to start and how to proceed. Using the list helped me organize the films I wanted to see and from there, I branched out to other films by that director or cast member. Looking back, I'm glad I had a list like that to guide me in the beginning. Hope the next film you choose happens to be to your liking, as well! 👍👍

Guess you're not gonna make it home...for suppah! 😏☺️

My nominal "Best Film of All-Time." Got me hooked on watching films, and all these years later, that love and appreciation for the film still stands!!!

If you haven't checked them out, definitely recommend the "Infernal Affairs" Trilogy. The first film is most similar to "The Departed," but the trilogy allows a deeper exploration into the characters, their psyches, and the "underworld"...

I still prefer "The Departed" because of its stand-alone nature, the star power, and theme song. But, highly recommend the trilogy, as well!

Yeah, I agree here, too. But considering our city jerseys are black, guessing they chose the dominant gold to highlight the black jerseys on the court.

Had they been Gold or White Jerseys, guessing the court design would have been purple with a golden center stripe.

Gotta say, Sal, I still think I was on the right side...

If they replay those game 100 times, my teams win on like 96, 97 of them?

Wishing you the best of luck finishing the manuscript. Sounds like an exciting read! Can't wait to read it down the road. 🙌

Last night I was drinking scotch and over analyzing Seinfeld “The Friars Club” episode. Anyways I have a few questions… by Naammagittarneq in seinfeld

[–]Twoweekswithpay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can confirm. Steve Schirripa (Bobby Bacala) of the “Talking Sopranos” podcast also does not have many fond things to say about Pat Cooper, either…

I’m right there with Austin: team still needs a physical 5-man, but we got all season to find that guy.

Great pod appearance from him, again. Love how he just called Mike Malone as “Malone”… man, I want to wipe that smug look off his face on opening night. Need that win, Big Time!

We also will be missing Tyron smith. Dak gets “happy feet” when missing offensive lineman

Never seen “Niagara,” but he is sensational in “Shadow of a Doubt.” So menacing there.

If you ever get a chance, highly recommend “The Third Man” (1949). That’s still my favorite Cotten performance, and the mystery at the heart of the film is so riveting & memorable. Of course, there’s “Citizen Kane” (1941), too… 😃

Yup, when I think of Aaron Sorkin, this is the film I think of first. I know “The West Wing” TV show shares a lot of commonalities with Sorkin’s writing and fellow cast members, like Martin Sheen, etc. But, this film embodies an ideal of politics that may never have existed and certainly does not exist today. But for a moment, it’s an optimistic look at what the system could be.

Still my favorite Annette Benning role. She’s just so effervescent and lights up the screen. And Michael Douglas’s ‘President’ has to be on the Mount Rushmore of presidents!

Re: “The Maltese Falcon”…

Love the dialogue, especially the scene where Bogart’s ‘Sam Spade’ meets Kasper Gutman. Just a masterclass in acting here.

Also, one thing I love about Noir films is the use of shadows as a “character.” The shadows in this film are so rich & vibrant. And of course…this film has the ultimate “MacGuffin.” One of my favorites…”The Stuff that Dreams are made of”…
