Glad to see Don Coryell, shame it couldn’t happen while he was alive. Real innovator.

Truly one of the debut goals of all time

Spencer Rattler for third string

Also the receivers didn’t have a nifty little “money” sign they did as a signature

So cringe

Excellent ballplayer, certainly one of the best third basemen of his era, caught too much shit from the franchises he played for, solid choice for the Hall.

“Zero Day” suggests maybe a cybersecurity theme? Terrorists hack into critical infrastructure or the nuclear stockpile? I’m grasping at straws

You don’t actually have to be of the local ethnicity to be a zoological expert in local fauna. Just like you don’t have to be of a certain race to be an expert in virology, astronomy, etc. Seems weird to insist your scientists fill certain race quotas.

I can see that. Especially the first half.

If you want to be put through the ringer, his performance in The Crucible is fucking heavy. The whole adaptation is fucking heavy.

Yes. Excellent film.

You misspelled Wednesday

I’m being sarcastic.

oh gee well if the New Yorker says I shouldn’t read it

It’s been a while since I read it but seems like you could go some way in “updating” Marlowe to make him a somewhat more palatable narrator, same as Captain Willard. Don’t give him blatantly modern attitudes because that would be stupid and cringey, but give him enough of a conscience for the modern viewer.

Not that too many people would want to see this anyway.

No.

Cameron and Villenueve I think are top tier. Definitely Cameron at least.

As for Soderberg, he’s an extremely capable craftsman and has some real achievements to his name, but he takes risks which means a lot of misses too. Second Tier seems right.

This makes me sad. Comedy Central got me through college.

I’ve seen that! I don’t think it counts since it didn’t make final cut, haha

Fully agree. The shared experience is at the core of sports fandom too.

What do your kids think?

> Did Jake meet them? > > Does he know they are corrupt?

He did meet them...actually not fully sure he was aware of the bribe they took though.

> It might be assumed that the Russians took the money when they whacked Alonzo.

This is true. And nobody actually knew "the money" existed except for Alonzo's crew. So Jake basically has an invisible million.

Jake had the money, not Alonzo. That was why him and Alonzo were scrapping.

Not sure I had a single favorite. Many of the villains were super memorable though!
