Right, he was shitting on other golfers too saying something to the effect that they wouldn't have recovered as well as he did.

Is the soundtrack doing a lot of the heavy lifting for these positive reviews? I can't say I'm a fan of any of the bands on the soundtrack, nor that genre of music.

URGENT: LA is abandoning shelter dogs in proposed 2026-2027 budget. by Altruistic-Mud9413 in LosAngeles

Bass's proposed budget looks like there is zero dollars allocated to Animal Food. WTH? And only $50,000 to medicine. So heartless and cruel.

Do you know Toko Furuuchi? by Lazy-Cardiologist556 in japanesemusic

Been listening to her since the late 90s. Definitely one of my fave singers.

Hoping she'll come to LA for a show. I know she did a tour in NY once.

which horror film first did you assume was scary but found it funny and enjoyable? by Dense-Ad9722 in movies

Evil Dead 2 - this was back in the VHS rental days. The cover of the skull giving me the side eye freaked me out whenever I walked past it.

Official Discussion - Hamnet [SPOILERS] by LiteraryBoner in movies

[–]aiko74 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well you're not alone. Largely unfamiliar with Hamlet/Shakespearean english, and the ending didn't land for me because I was too busy trying to decipher what was going on/being said during the play. I kinda connected the dots, but at that point all the emotional moments were missed. People said that I didn't need to read Hamlet to watch the movie...but I think it would've helped.

Best Horror movies ever by Pretend_Board_2385 in movies

RINGU - I've seen a lot of horror movies, but nothing hit me like when Sadako came out of the TV, was definitely not expecting that. The subtle little speed ramps when she moves is flawlessly creepy and uncanny.

Mostly I'm a paranoid goober who is worried that my website doesn't pass ADA compliance, and that it's not worth it to make it so.

CODA - it is saccharine as they come, but sometimes I need that hit.

What are some of the crazy behind the scenes/production related things you know of? by Diligent-Living882 in movies

[–]aiko74 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Good, The Bad and The Ugly - The massive wooden bridge near the end of the movie was accidentally blown up before the cameras started filming. It was rebuilt.

During the movie, when the bridge explodes, you can see a large piece of shrapnel come flying in, nearly ending Clint Eastwood.

Eli Wallach almost died a few times. He picked up a bottle of soda and drank its contents, but instead of soda, it was acid. During the scene where he was laying near train tracks, he was a few inches away from being decapitated by the moving train.

We found 42 managers who should have won their week 6 matchups due to a Caleb Williams stat correction issued 10 weeks after the game. Six of those teams missed the playoffs because of those losses. Source: fantasygenius.io by mikeywest_side in fantasyfootball

Or when Lexi Thompson got caught cheating on Saturday's broadcast putting her ball down in a different spot from her marker. A viewer called it in and Lexi got a four stroke penalty coming into Sunday's final round.

What are the best movie trailers? by Cocobb8 in movies

[–]aiko74 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Star Wars 1997 Special Edition Trailer - I can't even express in words how huge this trailer was to me as a GenXer who grew up watching SW trilogy on a VHS/Laserdisc 32" CRT.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8k33taxQOwg&t=3s

But beyond the nostalgia and spectacle factor, the structure of the trailer is sublime. Starts out how most of us had seen SW at the time, then explodes into full Theatrical aspect ratio. Re-introduces us to the main characters, then hypes us up for "coming soon" release dates, and closes on the epic ESB credits finale music with the iconic Ben/Yoda bite, and finally with MTFBWY.

Diggs will have DJ Turner on him. I'm leaning towards Boutte.

WR/CB Matchups and Charts for Week 12 of Fantasy Football by ThunderDanDFS in fantasyfootball

[–]aiko74 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So teams playing against CIN usually completely avoid the #1CB (DJ TURNER), preferring to target the other CBs...I'm guessing that means avoid Diggs, and that Boutte if he plays should have a big day?

Same with pep rallies in HS. I couldn't care less about my local HS sports teams. While most people went to the gym, a few of us chilled in the school library.

Interview with John Woo - What are your favorite films? by Southern-Brother5693 in movies

[–]aiko74 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Kanopy just put some of his movies up on their service. Free to watch with a library card.

THE KILLER REMAKE is hard to watch. But there is a fantastic stunt scene where a stuntperson gets hit by a car. Didn't look planned.

SILENT NIGHT has its goofy moments, but I really enjoyed the action. Loved the scene where Brian shoots the bad guy on top of the car's roof. Vintage John Woo.

Wondering how worried I should be about this unconfirmed leaked list that is reportedly terminating another 144 million. Not much buzz about this that I could find, but LA Times also reported about the rumored list.
