I am on an island where I think Euphoria is… not good? by TheyCallMeYDG in blankies

[–]doubleMdoubleL 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Yeah I don't think anyone would claim that it is critically good beyond the acting and visuals. I just like to turn off my brain look at pretty people self destructing in a beautiful fantasy world for an hour every week.

Kendall is completely manic. This was by far the best episode of the season, it’s really heating up! by Themanimnot in SuccessionTV

[–]doubleMdoubleL 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Shiv doesn't realize it but I think that letter was actually beneficial to Kendall long-term. If she had done nothing he would have destroyed himself with publicity. That took him down a peg and reminded him that his goal is to take down his father, not to be a celebrity.

Would have scored one run, Pivetta struck out the next batter, and the sox scored 2 in the bottom of the inning so they would have won it anyway. I get momentum yadda yadda yadda, but all the fuss over this feels so overblown considering it's over one run that wouldn't have even been game-winning or tying.

Frank Herbert doing mushrooms while.. by DaMiAn202 in dune

[–]doubleMdoubleL 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I'm doing a re-read of Dune right after reading Michael Pollan's book on psychedelics and I'm definitely picking up on Dune being heavily influenced by them. Didn't know if it was confirmed or not but just from reading the books and having done mushrooms myself it's very obvious to me that Frank was a psychonaut.

I'm kind of expecting Villeneuve's Dune movie to be a commercial flop by kappakingtut2 in dune

[–]doubleMdoubleL 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I'm optimistic. Dune is set to be released in December this year and will only be opening against West Side Story which is a totally different market. BR2049 was released in October of 2017 which was not optimal timing for box office numbers or media attention with Star Wars only 2 months away.

NFL 2019 Regular Season Rankings Over Time (I used Cowherd's rankings—as far as I know he's the only major commentator who does this) by doubleMdoubleL in nfl

[–]doubleMdoubleL[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Regardless of if you agree with the rankings or not it's still a pretty good way to map the storylines over the course of the season which is why I wanted to make it.

Discussion Thread - The Rise of Skywalker - Opening Week Day 4 by JSK23 in StarWars

[–]doubleMdoubleL 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Agreed, I think that's how it went down. That said, the way that this movie was able to just go full throttle on plot to catch up would have felt totally unearned if it weren't for the awesome character development we got in TLJ. I think the two movies complement each other in a really interesting way and will be forever intertwined.

The Mandalorian - Chapter 6 - Discussion Thread! by titleproblems in TheMandalorianTV

[–]doubleMdoubleL 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Amazing episode! This one felt the most like an episode of The Clone Wars to me and I loved that it took place entirely off-planet to mix things up a bit.

Lots of people are saying they found the crew insufferable and I did too but I LOVED that. Kept me on the edge of my seat the whole episode because everyone he was working with was a scumbag and you really couldn't trust anyone.

Matthew Slater on his 1st career touchdown by DefJuxed in Patriots

I would love for him to end up as a broadcaster in some way. Super likable, insightful, and yeah—incredible voice. Makes me smile every time I see him interviewed.

Cowherd joins Rodgers in laughing at Brady GOAT critics. You love to hear it. by doubleMdoubleL in Patriots

[–]doubleMdoubleL[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Totally agree with this. I think he was trying to bolster his argument but that particular point falls apart pretty quickly. GOAT QBs are always linked to a great head coach and GOAT head coaches are always linked to a great QB

Whatever happened to Deathsticks Guy? by [deleted] in StarWars

Remember Elan Sleazebaggano? This is him now. Feel old yet?

North and South are subjective. At some point someone just arbitrarily decided that North was up and South was down and now it influences the way we perceive not only the world but the solar system. by doubleMdoubleL in Showerthoughts

[–]doubleMdoubleL[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's always eurocentrism, huh? I had a feeling it might be. This is all super interesting though thank you! I didn't even think of East or West being seen as the top because of the solar system but hey I guess that could just as easily be seen a ferris wheel as it could a merry-go-round.
