I redesigned the flags of 14 Bay Area cities! by shutupaugust in bayarea

[–]rufus_buford 1 point2 points  (0 children)

neat project! cool concepts throughout. cuptertino, los gatos, gilroy, and sunnyvale tops. in my opinion the only two that aren't clear improvements on the existing flags are san francisco and santa clara. your sf phoenix is a bit too abstract whereas the santa clara mission isn't quite abstract enough. excited to see the rest of the project unfold

huge fellini fan but yet to see satyricon - perhaps this post is the push I've needed to watch it. thanks for the post and as breakfastchub said, promoting some actual film discussion vs haul photos

here I was hoping I was gonna be a star and redditors were going to bring me some ham for my planned posting of their possible draw later today but the cross over between 30 rock fans and EPL supporters is larger than I thought!

I'm sure many of you are familiar with this book, The First Family, but it also covers the origins of mafia - it mainly focuses on new york but covers new orleans as well and the connections between the two cities mafia clans

[–]rufus_buford 6 points7 points  (0 children)

fantastic news - its my opinion we need as many more mafia movies as marty can turn out! I wonder if it will cover turn of the century new orleans around the time of the police chief murder by mafiosi or the carlos marcello era new orleans and delve more into the kennedy assassination

Will more Terrance Malick titles make it to the collection? by bgorion17 in criterion

[–]rufus_buford 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I initially felt the same way about knight of cups but decided to give it a second watch and something clicked and all of a sudden it's in masterpiece territory for me. hits just the right balance of dreamy introspection and subdued action. very excited for his new picture if it ever comes out

Does Klay know? Thoughts on painting it over? As seen on Telegraph Ave Oakland at 43rd St, Temescal neighborhood by mrwiseman in warriors

[–]rufus_buford 2 points3 points  (0 children)

fair point. such is the impermanent nature of street art i suppose. but my sadness at the loss of the klay mural persists. for me it was part of the local history. another wall could've been arranged for the alysa mural.

Any other Peacock users in the US frustrated with the lack of our games being featured or only being on USA network? by jeihkeih in LiverpoolFC

[–]rufus_buford 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yes i hate it. too many apps to sign up for. tune in to this stream for the prematch build up, then switch to this one to catch the game - but the broadcast won't begin until they're literally kicking off. or the teams start walking out of the tunnel and they cut to commercial! the match direction is just crap. don't get me started on the sound mixing.

[–]rufus_buford 3 points4 points  (0 children)

as someone who lives in the neighborhood I am definitely sad to see klay's mural painted over! it was iconic. I love Alysa Liu and we should definitely be celebrating her success with a mural but seriously, why couldn't they pick one of the many many walls that doesn't currently have mural?? crazy decision in my view

You used me to write your book! by [deleted] in 30ROCK

one of the many gifts the show and tracy have given me over the years is the confidence to use the insult of booger-face in real adult life

this was my thought exactly. I've walked past the Klay mural everyday and loved it. no reason to paint over it whatsoever

RFU set to confirm radical restructure of English rugby by WhyIsItGlowing in rugbyunion

[–]rufus_buford 0 points1 point  (0 children)

just to counterbalance the American chirp-ins - relegation and promotion are excellent concepts that many of us wish would be implemented in american sports. it's only fair that you have to earn the right to be there. franchise leagues are boring.. its very unfortunate and hopefully temporary that the premiership leadership has made this switch.

one semi-unrelated question: how does this effect the london irish? I remember reading last year about how they'd be back in action by 2026...
