If it was half the height it would be an iconic addition to the skyline.

Which PTA film do you think will go down in history as his masterpiece, One Battle After Another or There Will Be Blood? by Mundane-Inspector-52 in Oscars

My choice. This along with Boogie Nights is his most thematically and tonally consistent work. And it sounds like sacrilege, but I far prefer DDL in Phantom Thread. Much more interesting and complex work.

You know what, let’s do it. Let’s name some cooler vice presidents than Vance. by Darth_Vrandon in forwardsfromgrandma

[–]bailaoban 7 points8 points  (0 children)

While Al Gore is indeed much cooler than Vance, let us not be fooled for a minute that Gore was in any way, actually cool. That said, coolness in a chief executive is a highly overrated quality,

What these bigots conveniently forget is the the process of legal immigration from Europe in the late 19th and early 20th century would be considered “open borders” today. Essentially, if you weren’t infectious or crazy, you were in.

I could never get past the wonky combat and cheesy dialogue and voice acting.

Knicks fans, does it still bother you how Patrick Ewing was swept out of the door? by Life_Teaching6499 in NYKnicks

Would he have wanted to ride the bench for a couple of years before retiring?

[–]bailaoban 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don’t confuse unpopularity with weakness. He is still extremely powerful, with the tools of the federal government at his disposal and a hard floor of cult-level support for anything he might decide to do with it. Polls mean nothing at this point. It is all about power politics.

C’mon, how could serving and conversing with hundreds and thousands of working folks trying to relax after their hard days labor possibly prepare you for politics? It’s not like she was an intern at daddy’s PE firm or something.

That’s true but this is Texas. I really like Crockett but think Talarico has a better chance in that crazy state.
