“George Stone? That’s your name? What was it before you changed it?” “Grogo Shinyrock.”
Present Tense (mainly for its use in The Last Dance).
I unapologetically love the Never Say Die record. I know the band hated it. Don’t care. I love the swings they took on that one.
Klaus Maria Brandauer may have given the best performance as a Bond villain in one of the worst films of the franchise.
Do the Packers not have a salary cap?
“Tom Clancy’s Are You There God It’s Me Margaret?”
Was just thinking “very Edmondsy.”
It feels like the Boy Genius put the brain of Todd Gaines from “Go” into a synthetic.
It’s a shame there is no way in hell my wife will watch this show. She’s in love with Olyphant, and I told her he hasn’t been this good (or cool or sexy) since the final season of Justified.
Just trying to keep up here… “Crooked” Biden was in Ukraine’s pocket, but was somehow holding them back (and how do we begin to define that somehow)? The head of the party who insisted we stop sending Ukraine $$$ now says previous administration didn’t do enough?
Lot of pitch framing discussion on here tonight. I will say if you wanted to see the effects of bad pitch framing this William Contreras game could serve that purpose.
When I saw it in the theater when I was in high school I thought it was the best movie I’d ever seen. I’ve seen a few movies since (including Potemkin which this movie famously borrows from) and it’s still in my Top 10.
Holy smokes Matt Shaw is fast.
Sheryl Crow’s “The Difficult Kind.” I’ve sung myself hoarse on that one.

I think I’m making this my Linked In photo. #Cubs
Finally watched last night. I find myself aligned more with your review than some others, Brian. I’ve heard a few say they are bumping against some of Noah’s choices. To me, the layers he’s adding (Prodigy/Hybrids) are the most interesting since Prometheus.
“Maybe they’ll pull out an Ouija board and conjure the spirits of McNeil and Mike North, two original rabble rousers at The Score.” Both those dopes are still alive. They don’t need a Ouija, just call them up and they’ll conjure their own spirits at full volume. But Dan please don’t do that.
His character from “The Lost Boys,” Edgar Frog, sounds like he was on the Night’s Watch already.
Quite frankly, The Descent horrified me before the skinny CHUDs showed up. I would not have descended.
Jed said on the record #Cubs players need to play “above their projections.” Which is what all cheap teams say. They played “above their projections” up to the ASG.
Quote with a book you read way too young that explains why you are the way you are. I read “Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance” when I was 14. More of it landed than should have, quite frankly. Read it again in my 30’s with several “oh yeeahhh” moments.
Look if these things are going to be weaponized, they need to bring back the “Seafood & Crab.”
Hopefully in time for Week 1 “Sit Him or Bench Him” segment.
He beat the goddam tag. Should have been safe.
In the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is king.
Roosters
Hey buddy
The #Bears have a long storied history of rostering QB’s who can do everything well except THROW. Ready to turn the page on that.
Liotta made so many movies worth watching. I walked out of COPLAND mostly disappointed, except for Liotta just living in his portrayal of the greasy cop who I’m sure was written as clinging to some shred of morality, but I’m pretty sure he just wanted to stick it to Keitel and those other mf’ers.

Thought it was a Frazetta for a moment, but not enough junk in that Hyborian Age princess’s trunk.
“What would you call it when you’re doing an intern? Interning?” - Shit Smoltz says
My god Smoltz just babbles bullshit nonstop on these Fox broadcasts. #Cubs
He directed the shit out of MAN OF TAI CHI. Incredible fight choreography in that movie.
Wow, what an opening graph.

Mick Abel: I don’t deserve this. Phillies: Deserve’s got nuthin’ to do with it.
Congratulations on your new digs!
I think the #Cubs will be just fine once they remember how to score runs and how to keep the other team from scoring runs.
Age verification? My first crush on a film actress was Jaqueline Bisset.
Rust Cole set the bar too damn high.
I mean, if they’re considering The Crow a superhero movie, then Blade has to be considered a superhero movie. And that first Blade flick is at worst Top 5.
First thing that popped for me on this was “The Social Network,” which is one of my favorite movies. But anytime they bring up “the chicken” it completely throws me out of the story.
I thought Bob Crane was already dead.
I was going to say Economics so I’d know how things work.
@seantcollins.com Hey man, wanted to let you know earlier this week I had a morning drive from LGA to Penn Station. First time for this farm kid from rural Illinois, and I was seriously stressed about it. Your “Night Yacht” playlist kept my heart rate manageable. Many thanks!
Is this finally the end of the beginning?
2) As a vocalist, Ozzy goes mostly ignored & unappreciated by people who don’t/won’t listen to Metal. For an illustration of just how unique Ozzy’s voice was just watch last year’s RRHOF ceremony and the parade of chumps they put on stage to cover Ozzy’s songs. They all walked off in embarrassment.
1) Ozzy scouted lead guitarists like the Brewers scout pitching. After Rhodes, Gillis, and Lee, Ozzy finally found his Ben Sheets with Zakk Wylde.
A couple thoughts on #Ozzy (RIP) from a guy who wore out the cassettes of “Blizzard” and “Diary” in the Pioneer deck of his rusted out ‘76 Camaro…

Bones Owens show last night at Off Broadway in St. Louis. Didn’t realize Bones was from Vandalia MO. Turned out to be a mini family reunion for the guy.
