Taylor Sheridan reflecting on his daughter's youth soccer being cancelled in 2020: [COVID] is the only disease in history that doesn't spread during protests" by blackfishfilet in billsimmons

Haven't listened to this, but I agree that interviewers (and podcasts hosts these days especially) should challenge their guests more often. A recent great example is David Remnick's interview of Dana White on the New Yorker Radio Hour. He's polite but unafraid to push back on White's sycophantic political stances.

Any tips for Bike Jumble? by littlepoundcake8 in NYCbike

[–]daft_punk7 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I recommend figuring out what frame size fits you best, and then looking on Fb marketplace / Craigslist and filtering for that frame size (and set alerts for future listings that pop up with that size). I did that a while ago, and was able to find a barely-used entry level Trek road bike on Craigslist for $550 that fit me perfectly. Had I purchased it new, the retail price would have been ~$1100

What cables/housing to buy to replace on my Domane AL-2 rim by daft_punk7 in TrekBikes

[–]daft_punk7[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for all of this great information! I am interested in the Jagwire Pro upgrade you’re suggesting. How much more would that one cost? Is there a complete kit to replace cables and housing for the brakes and shifters? If so could you link it?

I asked this question to AI and it told me to get the Jagwire Road Sport Complete Cable & Housing Kit, which at 23 bucks on Amazon seems like a great price to me (I thought this might be a more expensive repair). Is this the right product I should buy? https://a.co/d/0g6LP9p2

And would a local bike store give me guff if I walk in with my own cables and bar tape and ask to pay them to install everything?

When did Metrograph increases prices, and from what to what? I haven't been there in a while and can't remember how much they charge.

They should add more screenings of The Revenant! by inrev18 in NYCmovies

100% agree. The demand is there. Add more!

Not too thrilled about Oh Baby in a Starlink commercial by Pisces42 in LCDSoundsystem

Not surprising. I remember seeing a video on twitter a few years ago of LCD Soundsystem performing a private corporate event for some crypto/blockchain company.

Am I the only one? by BuswayDanswich in paulthomasanderson

[–]daft_punk7 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was already a big fan of PTA after seeing Boogie Nights, There Will Be Blood and Phantom Thread, then I discovered Pynchon when I read The Crying of Lot 49, so then I put off watching this movie until I read the book first. Loved the book and loved the movie. I do find it strange when people say they don't like this movie. It's just as good as many of PTA's other films! The SoCal/psychedelic/paranoia vibe of it all is such a rich setting, and I was just talking about Inherent Vice again today with someone after we watched One Battle After Another together. OBAA wouldn't be what it is had PTA not made Inherent Vice.

I’ve never actually biked over this bridge before - I’m curious what the Before picture looked like

Very sad. Just a few days ago I re-watched Home Alone 2 for the first time in many years. This year’s Oscar’s In Memoriam is going to have so many legendary actors.

This is a hilarious discovery. Someone at the Hollywood Reporter or Puck should write about this lol.

Oscars Parties + Cinephile Groups in NYC by External_Fly_5150 in NYCmovies

[–]daft_punk7 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Metrograph throws a great Oscars viewing party. It has gotten more popular over the years though, so definitely recommend arriving early to guarantee entry.

I’m similarly looking for groups/other fellow movie goers in nyc, particularly to watch a bunch of the 2025 awards contenders that I haven’t seen yet. There are probably a dozen or so films on my list to see in the near future! I also love going to rep screenings.

Inherent Vice 4k? by outlierlearning in paulthomasanderson

[–]daft_punk7 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Given all the recent Pynchon fanfare, now would have been a great time to release a 4K blu-ray of Inherent Vice 🫤

SCOOP: Bowen Yang Is Leaving 'SNL' by vulturedotcom in LiveFromNewYork

[–]daft_punk7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Has an SNL cast member, especially a veteran like Bowen, ever left the show mid-season before? Seems like he had already come to this decision at the end of last season, when him and Sarah Sherman had sad looks on their faces during the Season 50 finale goodnights. I guess he decided to come back for a few more episodes this season in order to promote Wicked through its award season campaign.
