Cool beans Rex. I just might take you up on that poker offer.
Cool. Or if golf is more your speed, we can do that. Unfortunately, the only really good course in Austin (Austin Country Club) is private and they don't let peons like us onto the course. However, San Antonio has a few PGA tier courses open to the public (e.g. The Quarry, La Cantera, Brackenridge. The TPC at San Antonio). Let me know if you are in town. Not the greatest golfer, so you might have a chance against me.
Sure man. Doesn't have to be horse. We can get into a game of five-on-five if you are up for that. Teach those snot-nosed underclassmen a thing or two about basketball.
Yeah, just earned a Ph.D. from there. earned a masters in statistics from there a few years ago. Not gonna be terribly specific, because you could actually look me up, read my curriculum vitae, see my picture, see who my dissertation advisor was, and all that stuff and it would just be weird. I don't want someone from some obscure movie site knowing that much about me. Basketball is my release and I just like to play. I know how to play poker (e.g. Texas Hold em), but when I play with anyone good, they usually just take all my money.
Cool, plenty of courts in Austin we can do this at. I graduated recently, but I think I can still get us both into Gregory Gym at UT. Nice indoor courts.
Then you play a lot like me, but when I'm guarding, I don't come off my feet very often. Usually, I am just right in your face. Austin/San Antonio area
Maybe, maybe not. I think I retired some 6'2" teenager not that long ago. He played organized ball, loved to play, we would just shoot around together. One day he challenged me to one-on-one, lost, and after that he suddenly lost interest in roundball and only plays video games now. I don't know for certain if losing to me caused him to lose interest in basketball, but it can't be ruled out. Unless you are some huge dude that can just back me down and lay it up on me, I think I would at least have a chance against you.
Only some sports. I don't know a thing about soccer, other than Ted Lasso is a pretty funny show.
I love to play, but outside of college ball (particularly in March), I don't watch. I was just trying to show a little respect for one of the all-time greats of the WNBA and I got beat over the head for it.
She played a few years decades ago, before most of us were born and she was primarily a shooting guard, so not even the same position. Second, she played with Sheryl Swoops (the second WNBA player I can actually name). It is easy to rack up assists when all you really have to do is feed a scoring machine. As a general rule, I don't give a fuck about the WNBA. Sue Bird, Cynthia Cooper, Sheryl Swoops, you. I can probably beat all of you in one-on-one. Wouldn't be the first time I had to show some female player exactly how different the men's game is.
I am with you on seasons five and eight. Five is the worst of the series and season eight isn't far behind. However, I have to disagree with you on season two. It was when the battle for the throne really heated up and some of the best characters in the entire series got center stage and were fleshed out. Tywin, Cersei, Jaime, The Hound, Tyrion, Joffrey, and do you remember Daenerys surviving that fire and having her dragons hatch? Season two climaxes with the Battle for Blackwater Bay, one of the best episodes in the entire series IMO.
Yeah, the end is awful, but the beginning is magnificent.
The first four seasons of GoT is the best television has to offer outside of Breaking Bad. I don't know about the hows and whys GoT fell off a cliff. I only know that it did. As far as House of Dragons...to me, it seems even worse than the last season of GoT, if that is even possible. The only mildly interesting character is Daemon, and if you think about it, he is just a watered down less interesting version of Ramsay Bolton.
Probably would have taken every role Chris Pine auditioned for.
because most women can kick his ass if he gets fresh.
Taste is subjective. Setting the Mission Impossible movies aside, I would put Edge of Tomorrow and TG Maverick in my all-time top 50 movies. Even though he looks nothing like the character in the book, "Jack Reacher" was an enjoyable film. The thing is, pretty much all his movies make money, and almost no other actor can say that. I thought "The Mummy" was dogshit, but it still turned a profit.
Damn, even legacy media is throwing it under the bus.
Heath wouldn't have mentioned it because it supposedly happened shortly before he died, but as you said, we will never know the truth.
The only movie where I felt Clint was too old to be acting was Cry Macho. Should have been a guy thirty years younger than him playing that role.
That quote was right after Ledger died and after Nicholson supposedly had a heart-to-heart with him. The only reasonable explanation I can come up with is Nicholson warned him that the drugs and alcohol would catch up with him. I can't imagine Jack bringing up career decisions after the man had just died.
