The 17th at TPC Sawgrass bites Tiger in the butt. Man hope I get to watch this weekend with him in contention.

I had to read this a few times to realize you were talking about golf.

Is Tiger back?

UD Alert for someone exposing himself to women on north campus...Happy Friday.

Woodrow Wilson (middle?) school on lockdown. Some kid brought three rounds of ammo to school. Police are searching for a gun.
I’m guessing the kid brought the rounds to be “cool” and did not bring a gun.

Solo is way better than you people led me to believe.

 

[Striiker]

Solo is way better than you people led me to believe.

What ruined it for me was trying to imagine him as Han Solo, when the actor looked and acted nothing like him.

If it was "Random Hero: A Star Wars Story", it would have been more enjoyable.

Yeah, I can overlook that. Guy ended up being about as close as one can get, I think.

Being Harrison Ford is really hard. His characters are often just...Harrison Fordy. It's like Sean Connery, good luck playing a young version of him, either. Bit of an impossible task. Solo has always been a hard character to deal with, I do believe Ford played him as if he's always got a poker face on so that's not a lot to work with. There were times and scenes that felt on point for Solo, others that didn't, which makes me wonder if that's a product of having like 18 directors per month of production or whatever.

Glover made Lando better as a character, I thought.

Set design was great. A Star Wars movie should feel like Star Wars, and that's still possibly my biggest knock on Eps 2 and 3.

Yeah, it was an impossible task so I wouldn't have even tried if I were them. They were just asking for trouble by making a movie about a fan favorite character with a completely different actor.

Not every one of these movies need to have a link to the original trilogy. There's a whole universe to work with and they should just be creative. That said, I was excited when I heard a rumor about them possibly making an Obi-Wan movie with Ewan McGregor. Don't think that's actually happening though.

Some of the best Star Wars novels, comics, and game are pretty far detached from the original trilogy.

Of course, Solo seems dead-on character wise compared to the hilarious comic I tried to read with my Comixology account recently. Wherein Palpatine was Snidely Whiplash, and Darth Vader was Snidely Whiplash, and Boba Fett was Snidely Whiplash an 8-ball deep and incapable of shutting up; in a format that easily portrays internal monologue, they decided Fett should constantly talk to himself about his current actions.

Not sure if any of you ever watch Mobsters and Mafia Killers with Colin Mclaren.

They show documentaries on many of all the big players in the history of the Mafia.

It's amazing to see how it created all the movies from

Godfather
Goodfellas
Casino
Analyze this That etc.

Dude. LIGHTNING STRIKE!

Last Saturday morning at around 10:45 I was sitting here watching the end of the Southampton-Tottenham match. It was raining outside and there was like a slight storm, but hardly any thunder at all - seriously, about three thunder sounds the whole time. But all of a sudden there was this ****ing crash and this big flash right outside the windows down here, and the flash wasn't just bright ****ing light, right, but it had like a reddish or ****ing pinkish light around the edge of it - I've never heard or seen anything like it. I went upstairs because it sounded like it blew the top of the ****ing house off, no joke. It didn't, the house was fine, but mother****er:

* It knocked out the DISH network stuff. We called them and they got out here by later that same day and the TV stuff was fine. The strike fried the ****ing DISH box.

* It knocked out the ****ing water. All of the indoor plumbing is the same as you would have in a normal place in the city or suburbs, but it comes from a well and there is an electronic pump or some **** that gets it inside. The strike knocked out some electrical thing down there and the guy couldn't come out until Monday to fix it, so we had to go outside to this pump that still worked and had to bring in buckets of water to pour in the toilet tank to be able to flush the ****ing things. The water was on next door in the house we are renovating, so we could shower there. But mother****er.

* The coup de grace was that it knocked out the ****ing internet. I guess when they moved out here, the only option was Hughes Net, the satellite ****s. Holy ****, these ****ing ****s. We called them that day, last Saturday, and they wouldn't send me a new router. I had to basically break down the guy's will to live and debunk his entire company's goofy philosophy before he agreed to do it. He said he could send a technician out to check everything, and thus everything would be free, but if he sent me a new router, it would cost $195. They couldn't send a guy until ****ing THURSDAY, if you can believe that ****, and I had to explain to him that it made no sense to not charge me if they sent a guy out (a guy they would have to pay) and charge me if they DIDN'T have to send a guy out here. I just kept beating him down with logic and pleas and belittling and everything else you can imagine and eventually he agreed that they would waive the ****ing fee.

Well, the ****ing router arrived Monday and it didn't fix anything. So I had to call the ****ing ****s back and we got cut off twice, and when that happens you have to call back and go through the whole automated switchboard bull**** again. I mean, you guys know how super patient and calm I am normally, but I was just layering apoplexies like a ****ing thermonuclear superonion. I finally, finally got the ****ing ****s to stay on the line long enough to tell me they could make an appointment ... FOR THE FOLLOWING SATURDAY! So I was without internet for a ****ing week.

So I just got back on a few minutes ago. Mother****ers. I have seen all our games and everything. Now the only thing left is an enormous battle to see whether I can find enough patience and energy to launch a PR crusade against ****ing Hughes Net. These mother****ers, man, I swear to ****ing Jobu ...
