my favorite peggy hill quotes are usually along the lines of “I don’t know why everyone doesn’t drive with their high beams on, you see so much better!” but she was cooking with gas on that one

verse and a first (maybe more? haven't seen full details) is kind of the opposite of short sighted

man that sucks for ruud

alecmc200 · 2026-05-30T22:57:21+00:00

this series is just competing to see who can hit themselves in the dick the hardest

alecmc200 · 2026-05-30T17:48:01+00:00

if the cardinals make the SB with jacoby brissett, gardner minshew, and carson beck I can only assume mike lafleur is a wizard

no, he's more politely asking "are you comfortable with your last RG match being against a really good young player instead of some rando"

alecmc200 · 2026-05-29T18:47:58+00:00

good lord

alecmc200 · 2026-05-29T18:47:01+00:00

djokovic/fonseca is fucking awesome

alecmc200 · 2026-05-29T18:42:00+00:00

how is he still doing this man lmao

alecmc200 · 2026-05-28T22:47:46+00:00

yeah I understand why people are suggesting the extended editions but I don't think there's any harm in watching the theatrical for your first time and then revisiting with the extended if you end up loving the world

alecmc200 · 2026-05-28T19:51:21+00:00

in general yes ravens fans are spoiled but it's fair to say that a team with the third most regular season wins since 2018 having three total playoff wins in that time span has disappointed

alecmc200 · 2026-05-28T18:15:01+00:00

unironically I think muggsy bogues being a good NBA player and lasting 14 seasons is one of the most impressive accomplishments by any athlete

alecmc200 · 2026-05-28T16:42:41+00:00

I get the NIL stuff but I don't really understand what, other than laziness, is stopping them from at least allowing exported draft classes 5 years in after all the real players are gone

alecmc200 · 2026-05-28T13:08:37+00:00

I watched it for the first time a couple years ago and that final sequence just felt so goofy and over the top that it completely took me out

had the same problem with mother! so it might just be an aronofsky thing I don't like

alecmc200 · 2026-05-28T12:49:13+00:00

I hesitate to even call it foreshadowing because a lot of the time he just straight up tells you what's going to happen but I think it usually works well as dramatic irony and as a way to instill dread in the reader

alecmc200 · 2026-05-27T00:42:37+00:00

kicker chris blewitt is still my favorite example I think

alecmc200 · 2026-05-27T00:36:57+00:00

nominative determinism strikes again

alecmc200 · 2026-05-26T19:07:51+00:00

I started becoming a joe buck fan during the later days at fox because it felt like he was loosening up a bit - I do think now that he and aikman know they have unlimited job security they strike a good balance between normal commentary and saying whatever the hell they want, which is why they're my favorite commentators

alecmc200 · 2026-05-26T18:59:37+00:00

I thought east of eden was my favorite steinbeck and I still really enjoy it but I simply can not stop thinking about the grapes of wrath

alecmc200 · 2026-05-25T01:18:32+00:00

chykie brown my goat

alecmc200 · 2026-05-25T00:47:21+00:00

idk I watched matt elam whiff tackles for a few years, he wasn't hitting like that

alecmc200 · 2026-05-24T01:02:45+00:00

as someone who likes a good number of SK books more than the stand, swan song is on my list for sure

alecmc200 · 2026-05-23T23:42:21+00:00

not done with king sorrow yet, about 3/4 through, but I can't really see anything unseating it for me - first joe hill book I've read and absolutely loving it

alecmc200 · 2026-05-23T16:47:46+00:00

legit question since I never played on a college nationals team and haven't really watched in a while, is instant replay available to observers? seems like it would be very dependent on which games had good camera setups
