Walking Dead S5 EPS1 was pretty awesome on Sunday. Naturally ratings continue to crush it.

Also really liking this season of Homeland so far. Have to say the marathon session of 9 episodes of last season the Sunday before the season opener definitely helped.

I only clicked this thread to see if you had commented on Homeland. Must be psychic.

I totally agree... and enjoying the season so far. Who knew Carrie was such a loose woman? And what's gonna happen to Saul, stuck in a trunk on his way to the Taliban headquarters.?

But, I was surprised a few years back by my better half who bought us tickets to see Matty Patinkin sing at the Kennedy Center. Two and one half hours of falsetto... UGH... talk about your long nights. It was literally, like a punishment.

While I'm at it, I was really disappointed by Boardwalk Empire. Season finale after a mere 8 episodes should have come quicker. Odd twist as to the redheaded woman... and not a good one, IMO.

Oh well. stuck rooting against Toad Hoffman, I guess. Nothing much else on.

Not going to class tmrw for what will be possibly my last round of golf during the beautiful fall foliage. So excited!

 

[Chokingdogs]

pow!

If anyone is so inclined, tickets for the British Open next summer at St. Andrews just went on sale.

Looking forward to going. One of my bucket list items.

Star Wars Episode 7 officially has a title:

www.starwars.com

Not great but it beats the living daylights out of "The Phantom Menace".


I think this Star Wars movie makes the playoffs and gets at least to the second round

 

[usiel]

Just preparing for lens flair/shaky cam bull malarky, hah. My expectations are so low. If they are aiming at the kids again like phantom menace just feels like another fail.

 

[Hivemind]

All the Star Wars movies aimed for the kids. Phantom Menace sucked because it sucked. It also tried to spice up the plot with space politics.

It's one of mine too, but I'm knocking out the Ryder Cup in 2016 first. Enjoy, should be awesome.

Going to the Ryder Cup when it's the UK's turn to host seems to me like the pinnacle of golf trips (unless you are American)... if only I didn't have university to waste money on.

Seeing Interstellar in IMAX at AMC Tyson late show tonight. Actually first IMAX ever not counting what they called that theater in the Air & Space Museum in DC, heh.

Attending on both US and European soil are actually on my list. The next one happens to be here, so I'll knock that one off first.

I'd like to do a Wimbledon and British open trip in the next few years.

Hopefully you're going to their best theater. That one is a great theater. I'm seeing it in Imax tomorrow night. It's the only way I see the big movies.

Movie was good. Kinda wished I had seen it in true 70mm IMAX ala https://www.imax.com/theatres/t/airbus-imax-stephen-f-udvar-hazy-center/.

Sound mix was kinda weird on some parts but don't know if that was a theater speaker issue or I'm just rusty seeing movies in the theater in general.

 

[John Price]

The hype is about BIG HERO 6

That looks good but my car is dead forcing me to ride the Metro with a borrowed car for a few days

Was planning to go out to Tysons to see it, Tysons is my favorite mall and movie theater, but again, car issues. Also don't feel like taking Silver line.

 

[Cush]

And I thought Dr Pepper was terrible: http://www.cnet.com/news/would-you-...-flavored-mountain-dew-might-be-a-real-thing/

Gross or brilliant? Reports seem to indicate that PepsiCo is testing a soft drink that combines the cheesy flavor of Doritos chips with the sugar-bomb soda Mountain Dew.

Thank you.

I've always thought that no one, sane or otherwise, could possibly be opposed to net neutrality. But now that the president has come out in favor of it, I look forward to all manner of folk to oppose it.

In an effort to not get too political, keep your hands off my guns.

As someone who's father has been brainwashed by a certain cable faux-news channel, you'd be surprised how misinformed many are about what it actually is.

Again, not to get too political, but 95% of all media is liberally biased, if there is a brainwashing going on, which there isn't, it would be the other way around.

 

[BrooklynCapsFan]

I see we've reached the making up statistics part of an online political discussion.

I still can't fathom anyone opposing net neutrality.

 

[sycamore]

Dan Le Batard, the uber annoying ESPN radio talk show host, has a name that means "Dan the Bast*rd" in French

 

[usiel]

Again, not to get too political, but 100% of all media is biased, if there is a brainwashing going on, which there isn't, it would be the other way around.

Bolded correction for you.
