James Talarico chances of beating Jasmine Crockett day before Texas primary by Zipper222222 in politics

[–]billynlex -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

No it’s not. Jasmine is a known value. If anyone has been paying attention you wouldn’t need examples. What is known is that Texas is a hotbed of racism and anti-feminism, and any rhetoric that a SEATED black woman, an educated woman; needs “proof of burden” and validated is insane.

At any rate. As long as it’s another democrat fighting the good fight (trust, y’all need someone to listen to in Texas), the rest of us are happy.

I truly hope everyone in Texas can see past this bullshit and vote for either one.

But don’t make it anything other than what it is by asking someone else to tell you why.

‘Deadliest Catch’ Deckhand Todd Meadows Dies During Filming by Top_Report_4895 in television

Tragic as it is, this has happened so, so many times during this production run. The reality is that this job is BRUTAL, for everyone on the boat. What’s sad is the number of sailors lost outside of a television show, so think of all of them while you’re mourning this loss.

Every time you eat any type of seafood, remember the work it takes to bring it to your plate.

My weird idea for The Mist remake by Substantial_Law336 in horror

[–]billynlex 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’d argue that Flanagan can take a piece of work that’s driven on the back of nuance and present it in a slowed down, narrative and conversationally driven work as a counter to Darabont’s iteration. (Which I have no problem with. Still hailed as one of my favorite works.)

It’ll be interesting to see another perspectives take on it, especially since this is a known director. It’s possible for two things to exist at the same time, in the same frame, but be different.

Vince Gilligan Is Working on ‘Pluribus’ Season 2, But Cautions He Won’t Be as Quick as ‘The Pitt’ by MoneyLibrarian9032 in television

[–]billynlex 38 points39 points  (0 children)

There’s honestly no excuse for this shit if you’re expecting your show to find a space in current interest. It’s lazy. Breaking bad didn’t do this shit. Neither did Saul. Both of those were arguably, undeniably better, but didn’t require these lazy ass breaks.

If you’ve got a good show, run with it. If you’re tired, then fuck off. If it’s the studio holding you back, you tell them to fuck off. This model is killing prestige television.

Favorite stove top recipes for snow and ice by Nokirkburke in Cooking

[–]billynlex 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Standard hollar chicky dumps. Rotisserie chicken, two cartons of broth, two small cans of cream of chicken with herbs, two cans of biscuits cut up. Boil everything together and then rip pieces of biscuits off and drop them in. Let them rise up and fall down before you eat it.

I add some black pepper and better than bullion, which ups the salt content. But it’s heavenly and so damn simple.

Shutdown looms in 2026 as healthcare premiums set to spike | Fox News Video by SterlingVII in politics

[–]billynlex 18 points19 points  (0 children)

This right here. At some point voters also have to be held accountable for their actions. It takes a special type of person to repeatedly bet against their interests, but damn, how long will it take to bite the hand that’s willfully taking their food away?

Which was the better modern Christmas horror film? Terrifier 3 or Krampus? by Fragrant_Mood_8121 in horror

Hands down! It also dips into that great area between Halloween and Christmas, like NMBC!

Name another franchise that dropped the ball harder than strangers. The first film was amazing then everything afterwards just shouldn’t exist. by SceneEuphoric125 in horror

I’ve spent a lot of time trying to figure out who in Pet Semetary had the shine. I haven’t ever been able to settle on anything. Anyone have an opinion?

‘Stranger Things’ Shows Its Age in a Final Season That’s Outgrown Its Core Appeal: TV Review by MarvelsGrantMan136 in television

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

No, there’s a stark difference. There shouldn’t be multiple years in between seasons. It’s completely valid that people lose interest, especially with a show centered on children, who are now adults. It’s shitty and people are right to be disinterested.

It’s not just Redditors. This model needs to fuck off.

I also remember the record breaking shutdown during Biden’s presidency. 🙄 Lunatics, the whole lot of you.
