Spoiler Free Cold Harbor

Drafting one liner "Mickey 17" @letterboxd.social reviews (draft board), a thread 📽: - The "You win Best Picture so here's a blank check to make whatever your heart desires" genre is consistently the most fun - Rob joins my pantheon of voice over narrators - "The doodle bob episode: the movie"

📽 Watch Anora last night and as much as I hate the trend of sequels and spinoffs, I would love a Toros+Igor+Garnik spinoff. Doing odd jobs, going to family functions, reeling with the fallout of ditching the baptism. I'd eat that up

T-3hrs. The calm before the storm, all we can do it sit and wait

Power ranking of names for the impending stock market crash: 1. Orange Monday 2. Art of the Crash 3. The Dondald Dump 4. Magagedon 💀

Status update three days into the term: We're not cooking. We're cooked.

This might be the dejection & dread talking but you know how sometimes parents let their kids who don't listen, execute their obviously bad ideas so they can make the mistake and learn? I kinda hope that happens with the trump presidency. >77mil people need to burn their hand on the stove to learn

At the intermission of The Brutalist I was unsure if it was based in a true story. I googled "Laszlo Toth", who happens to be the go who broke the Pieta. Expected a very very different final act (Loved the movie nonetheless)

If this continues this might be the best case scenario for the #Vikings given a loss. Instant answer to the "what do you do with Sam Darnold?" question. Trade him. I bet Tomlin would pick him up

Valentines day lands on a three day weekend. Also the first weekend after Civ VII comes out. Instead of being sad and lonely I'll be giving my cities dumb names while my best friend speed runs the tech tree

Apparently it's not just a feeling but a fact that Boston is more windy than Chicago. 1 for 1, straight up, trade proposal: -We (Boston) get the 'Windy City' nickname -You (Chicago) get the 'Beantown' nickname, for obvious reasons

Might have to take a mental health day this monday to recover from the emotional turmoil of watching the last episode of The Grand Tour (top gear)

If I grow up to be even half as grumpy of an old man as Harrison Ford in Shrinking, I'll count that as a success

Can someone make this into a big big big flag, please and thank you in advance

Any fellow bostonian out there interested in going to bucks@celtics tm night 👉👈

Exceedingly productive Thanksgiving break recap: - played Catan for the first time (will likely develop addiction) - started the penguin (so far really good) - had my scheduled yearly nicotine addiction relapse when seeing my old high school buds

#GoodLunch 👍🥡 Hot Take? Turkey is only good as reheated the next day on a sandwich. For dinner I'm a big brisket guy

🎥 Have been watching 1-6 Fast&Furious movies over the last week while home for Thxgiving, and ive been thinking... There's an alternate universe out there where they made 11 'Point Break' movies instead of the movie that ripped of its story #filmsky 📽

🚨🚨🚨 Per Sources: #NFL    opening inquiry into game fixing efforts withing the Chicago Bears Coaching staff, seen as only explanation for the obscene incompetence shown on Thanksgiving day vs Detroit

This has become a holiday season tradition for me. Making a little list, while waiting at the airport, of all the bets I've placed for the following week since sports gambling is illegal in Texas 🔒

The wave of serenity I'm feeling in the uber to the airport knowing my work laptop isn't coming with me for the next 10 days, is unmatched

Heart broken for Burrow, every week he goes out and puts on an MVP caliber performance. If the D/ ST had an ounce of competency they'd be at 9 wins. Instead one of the top 3 QBs in the league has his season end in week 11. I weep.

Would like to apologize to all the fellow Burrow fans, I was sloppy in the first half but I'm locking in

🚨🚨🚨 Cheifs Trail early. this is when you should be taking Kansas City Live ML (+280 rn) KC 9-0 trailed at half time in every game 👀

All week I was dreading having Brady announce Chiefs at Bills. Happily surprised to find its on CBS. W for fans everywhere

[Mega Niche] The feeling I get watching Lamar scramble in the pocket and not get sacked is the same feeling I get when the enemy teams Mercy has mastered her movement kit and is in a perpetual state of one shot but impossible to finish off 😵‍💫

Adam McKay's 2030 follow up to 'VICE' starting Jesse Plemons as Musk is going to rock! 📽 Working Title: "VICE 2: Neuralink'd" www.nytimes.com/2024/11/13/u...

Bruins and Celtics are both playing tonight. I live in Boston. I have access to 8+ streaming platforms and can't watch either of those games without buying two more. Why fear death, We built Hell here in the world of the living and it takes the shape of broadcasting right blackouts
