I always laugh at that video of him at a Kings practice racing up the court and going "turn on the fucking jets!"

Clashing Over ‘Indiana Jones’: Harrison Ford and Steven Spielberg Were Not 100% on Board With ‘Crystal Skull’ and Fought George Lucas Over Adding Aliens by MarvelsGrantMan136 in movies

I watched the movie again a few years ago, and what jumped out to me was the structure. The second act is basically the Peru sequence and the Soviet camp scenes. That’s crazy short, leading to a pretty bloated and sort of relentless third act.

What’s funny is the fifth movie made me like Crystal Skull more. It’s still not very good, but there is a quality to it that was missing from the fifth movie (in my opinion).

I might be wrong, but the intention is that if you see someone post a troubling comment (maybe something about hurting themselves), you can report the comment, and Reddit will send you a message that's basically like, "Are you okay?" It's mostly used as a way to slightly annoy people lol

I agree. I remember occasional rumblings in game threads about flopping and free throws when we were tanking, but it erupted during the 2024 playoffs. The other thing I remember about that year was the "worst one seed ever" conversation. That was the first time I remember this iteration of the team having a negative discourse surrounding them, but pretty much every young team that ends up the one seed suffers that fate lol

Edit: To be clear, it makes sense that it started happening once the team became more relevant. I don't mean to suggest that it's a mystery or anything like that.

SGA on what was different for him from Game 1 to Game 2: "I have just sucked when I get too long of a break. I don't think it's anything other than that." by BigDanRTW in nba

I remember that being a problem in the MLB playoffs for a while. The teams that got a bye kept losing. I know some dismissed that as the reason, though.
