  1. Just say away from the "George Washington Slept Here" house.... that didn't turn out so well when Mathew Bevilacqua went there.
  2. The question is why won't he apologize? All he has to say is "Yeah, I'm sorry, I went overboard there....." Is it because he's a jerk? Or is it because that will make The Boss mad? I think both options are credible. Of course, he has a job. Trump doesn't. And if he wins, he gets a new job and Trump cant fire him.
  3. I haven't spent too much time digesting reaction to her interview. I watched it. It was fine. She didn't hurt herself and didn't set the world on fire. I don't see any issue with that. But I suspect reaction is once again evidence of a dobule standard. Trump gives an interview and says Trump Stuff, all the wild bat **** ideas and conspiracy theories. Media: That's just how he is Kamala gives a standard matter of fact interview. Nothing crazy. Perhaps a bit of word salad. Doesn't hit a home run though. Media: Critical. A speed bump? Is this a crack? Her interview was pretty much in line with any other candidate's interview over the last 50 years. But she's a black woman facing Trump so there has to be something said about it somehow.
  4. more weather BS.
  5. Not disputing that. But are they worth devoting 3-4 hours and $50 in ticket and concession costs when you can see it shortly after? I loved The Iron Claw. I anticipated it, I knew they were making it and couldn’t wait. But I never got around to it when it was in the theater. I’ve watched it maybe 5 times already. Going to the movies is just not a part of a lot of peoples routines anymore. There is so much to watch that people would rather devote 2 hours and bang they a few episodes of a show at home. It’s nobody’s fault. Nobody is doing anything wrong. Just a change in habits by consumers. What I really do resent is this idea being pushed that it’s Marvels fault when I would argue that Marvel has largely propped up the theaters and helped keep them open. Marvel isn’t taking anything away from others. People aren’t choosing to go to those movies instead of something else.
  6. A case can be made for him to be in the HOF. Seriously.
  7. Regarding Chet Lemon.... I suggest every Tiger fan read that article in the freep. It's very moving. My wife has patients like that. She told me of one who could only say the word 'Ohio'. She knew what she wanted to say and could think it.... but it came out as "ohio".
  8. It's baseall. Water finds its level. Cleveland is on a 4-6 streak, MN on a 2-8 streak, Tigers 8-2. That could easily flip around in the next two weeks. Of course... 2009 beckons.
  9. That's probably the only clue they have. They walk in the locker room and don't see his locker and see Will Vest walking around...How else can you convey it with such little information?
  10. Horror has a strong following. There was an article about one of the last video stores anywhere, in Dearborn Heights, and the owner said they do a lot of DVD rentals for horror movies. I went into a store last week and I noticed a lot of that genre on their shelf, coupled with leftover TV Series and movies. But the horror area had a lot of titles. Regarding the movie industry overall... the old timers like to blame superhero movies but that's not it. The super hero movies are keeping it alive. Gone are the days where you just randomnly pick a movie on Friday or Saturday and go in to watch. Not because they don't make the movies but because that's not what peple want to do anymore. They have streaming at home. They have big TV's. They can choose. Movies now are events. Barbie, Oppenheimer, Marvel, etc. A run of the mill movie, like most of those on this list, not a criticism but that's what they were, is not worth the investment of time and money now. You can wait a few months and watch for free on your own big screen and on your own time with your own food/drinks and take a break when you need to use the bathroom.
  11. What an amazing article
  12. Petry said something during the broadcast a few days ago that he wasn't sure if Chet would make it due to health issues.
  13. the latest Kamala Kontroversy. She claims to have worked at McDonald's but.... didn't put it on her resume.
  14. What the **** is RSBN? I'm guessing somethign only found on streaming apps like freevee, pluto, or whatever. Then people in the rurals, who don't have cable or satellite, find that on their stick and leave it on all day, so that becomes their normal.
  15. I think you just taught me a thing I will use.
  16. I felt cheated on Sixth Sense because I figured it out. I’m not bragging because I wish I didn’t and I try hard to not figure things out because I like surprises. I don’t read reviews and cut people off when they try to tell me. I don’t even want to know if they liked it or not.
  17. I’m thinking specifically of the bullpens games. I’m not suggesting it will. Just that is what my brain is expecting. A too good to be true kind of thing. This can’t go on can it? Maybe I remember the wings in February of this year.
  18. I had 2 early games postponed. But that’s not unusual in April or May.
  19. She’s just jealous she had a real job.
  20. I don’t care about the playoffs. Just keep doing what they are. Progress. I keep expecting the wheels to come off any moment.
  21. He's right.
  22. Those names... people loved JaCoby.
