The original JOHN WICK is still perfect DTV action-trash. Knows what it is, doesn’t try to posture above its station. The best of the lot.

RDO is the great lost opportunity. Could've been something really special. (RDR2 is my favorite game. I have ... many hours logged.)

I was 28 when RED DEAD REDEMPTION came out. I was 36 when the sequel came out. I will be past 50 when the third one comes out, guaranteed. Unreal.

Streaming killed TV. Give people 22 episodes a year, shoot them so they're easy to see and hear, release one a week, and call it a day.

Exactly! Like, we’re already short on stuff, the last thing we need is a presidential motorcade and the attendant brouhaha. (And thanks, we’re fortunately safe; in-laws have a generator.)

It’s insane that the 4th-biggest city in the country can be taken completely offline by strong wind. The grid, the infrastructure, the resources, the planning: they’re all fucked.

As a Houston resident, I don’t think he should come here. However, I wouldn’t say no to him sending some deputy-level hatchet-man to speed up repairs to the grid and help the 1.7 million still without power.

For fun context, CenterPoint Energy used to have an outage map, but it broke in May during the last storm, and it's never been fixed. So this is what we're reduced to. 20% of the state's residents without power, and we're plugging in orders for cheeseburgers to see where the gaps in the grid are.

WTF. The electric company in Texas doesn't have a map of outages so people have been using the Whataburger App to figure out who lost power. This is like when Homer was using the Krusty Burger map when they got lost at sea.

We can’t ignore age anymore. We have to have an honest, national conversation about what happens when a natural expiration date is approaching. That’s why I’m calling on the New York Times (age 172) to respectfully step down and let another media outlet take its place.

Yes, exactly! Questions about TV shows have a base reality that requires some nuance but also have an examinable base reality and tons of source data. Seeing how AI mucks it (and where it doesn't) is fascinating. And searches about TV are very common!

Agreed. Related, I loved @honorszombie.bsky.social’s video on THE SIEGE, the kind of pre-9/11 movie that’s so openly cynical about this stuff that it feels like it’s from another planet:

Theory: you need someone as beloved and charismatic as Denzel or Robin Williams if you want audiences to go along with a movie that’s realistic about war like that.
