- Feels... different than the book. -- nm - Spawn Aug 5, 11:08 8
  - I love sycor and your posts in succession. -- nm - David Aug 5, 11:11 2
    - Maybe just how they cut the trailer, but I remember it as more spoil? - Spawn Aug 5, 11:16 1
      - I that they are going to be interspersing a lot of stuff that doesn't happen until later in the books. - sycor Aug 5, 11:19
  - howzat -- nm - mud Aug 5, 11:10 4
    - Okay, 20 years might have changed my impression as I have never revisited. I might do that. Disregard (for now)! -- nm - Spawn Aug 5, 11:14 3
      - maybe this time I'll familiarize myself with a comic book, instead of just loving the movie/series -- nm - mud Aug 5, 11:17 2
        
        I mean it's great. -- nm* - Reagen Aug 5, 11:25
        
        Maybe not (see above). I am hopeful they made an even stronger story out of it. -- nm - Spawn Aug 5, 11:24
- Nice! Looks pretty faithful. -- nm - sycor Aug 5, 11:08
- Yeah, maybe I'll check it out. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 5, 11:08

  - EXACTLY! -- nm - Matt Damon Aug 5, 10:54
Nielsen rating are out (spoilers for SITV) -- (edited) - Inigo Aug 5, 10:48 12
- Silencio Bruno! -- nm - Qale Aug 5, 11:11
- Among Nielsen viewers it's 4.03 viewings for BW vs. 2.94 viewings for Raya among American streamers on first-sets. - David Aug 5, 11:02 2
  - You don't even know if Raya was released worldwide. Let this go, dude. This is my last post about this. -- nm - Inigo Aug 5, 11:07 1
    - Dude, we're doing the opposite of letting this go. Today's the first day of an entirely new movie system. - David Aug 5, 11:09
- #SaveManifest - decline Aug 5, 10:59 3
  - I'm just gonna put myself on mute for another two minutes. - David Aug 5, 11:05
  - #Density -- nm - Spawn Aug 5, 11:02 1
    - ha, you're a child progeny! -- nm - mud Aug 5, 11:03
- You're doing the same math that Tim's gonna have to do. I expect his estimates will be similar to what you just calculate. But... - Mop Aug 5, 10:53 3
  - It'll probably be close to 2 billion next week. - Inigo Aug 5, 11:06 1
    - It IS a huge Premier Access hit. - David Aug 5, 11:07
  - Guess what just hit our inbox! - David Aug 5, 11:03
I do think this is great for Krusty. You take the pressure off the Jets by having Giants camp be a hot mess. -- nm - crash davis Aug 5, 10:42 5
- What's great are the reports I read daily about Elijah Moore. -- nm - Krusty Aug 5, 10:50 4
  - In my fantasy world, the Jets are definitely finishing ahead of the Pats this season. -- nm - crash davis Aug 5, 10:53 3
    - In my fantasy world, Belichek never wins another game. -- nm - Spawn Aug 5, 10:55 2
      - Heh. :-) -- nm - Krusty Aug 5, 10:55 1
        
        If you are gonna fantasy, fantasy *big*. -- nm - Spawn Aug 5, 10:56
Every time Garrett is mentioned I am happier he used the Ravens to get a better job in Dallas. - the wrong element Aug 5, 10:42 12
- He’s so bad, the Cowboys looked forward to hiring Mike McCarthy over him. -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 5, 10:45 11
  - *Coach* Mike McCarthy. - David Aug 5, 10:45 10
    - If you’re using a name, use the title. You’re media, not his friend. Max is right right…ask the question. -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 5, 10:56 9
      - It's a ridiculous request from someone who was salty about recent media coverage. All it shows is that Garrett may not be able to handle NY media. -- nm - David Aug 5, 11:47
      - They're media, not his players. He doesn't coach them. He has a name and there's nothing wrong with calling him by it. - Krusty Aug 5, 11:03 5
        
        They need him to do their jobs. It’s not out of line to use his title if you’re speaking names. - Will Hunting Aug 5, 11:07 1
        
        He's not above them or better than them. They're certainly equals just in different professions. - Krusty Aug 5, 11:11
        
        "mister garrett" sounds sufficiently patronizing as a response to this -- nm - Beryllium Aug 5, 11:05 2
        
        That would work. -- nm - Krusty Aug 5, 11:08
        
        "OK, Missus Garrett." -- nm - Tootie Aug 5, 11:08
      - Also, I might be wrong using Coach for McCarthy come October 1st. - Will Hunting Aug 5, 10:57 1
        
        I don't think Jerry likes admitting to mistakes, so I say McCarthy lasts, at least for a little while. But I could be wrong.. -- nm - crash davis Aug 5, 10:59
And ANOTHER thing - if you aren't practicing your PhD in a professional setting, I ain't addressing you as Dr.! -- nm - Max Aug 5, 10:31 8
- What if you play one on tv? -- nm - Spawn Aug 5, 11:02
- As someone that this applies to, I agree. -- nm - Dano Aug 5, 10:48 2
  - but now I *like* the sound of Dr. Dano. -- nm - Max Aug 5, 10:49 1
    - I prefer Coach Dano -- nm - Dano Aug 5, 10:50
- So a professor retires and you immediately start saying Mr or Ms? -- nm - mara Aug 5, 10:39 1
  - nah, I have a peeve about a work contact who insists all correspondence start with Dr. salutation, when that's irrelevant to the work. -- nm - Max Aug 5, 10:47
- well one time I asked for Mr. Pepper and everyone seemed confused. -- nm - crash davis Aug 5, 10:38
- I'm fine with you referring to me as 'Your Majesty' -- nm - ty97 Aug 5, 10:37
Patriots’ HC Bill Belichick on his team practicing in the rain today: "If it rains, it rains. If it doesn't, it doesn't. If it's hot, it's hot. If it' -- (link) - budice Aug 5, 10:29 10
- This guy also has a good point, RE: media relationships. -- (link) - Reagen Aug 5, 10:30 7
  - Maybe they're just big fans of Craig T Nelson or Coach from Survivor. -- nm - Dano Aug 5, 10:47
  - Although ... reporters shouldn't be looking to make news. The request is reasonable, can be supported with rationale*, and costs the reporter nothing. - rollo Aug 5, 10:44 2
    - solution: start asking the question without any salutation. -- nm - Max Aug 5, 10:48
    - otoh, the reporters took a nothing presser from Garrett and turned it into something that gets clicks...maybe that was the ulterior motive -- nm - crash davis Aug 5, 10:46
  - Lombardo sounds butthurt, tbh. - Beryllium Aug 5, 10:44 2
    - He should get a room with Trent Crimm, The Independent -- nm - Beryllium Aug 5, 10:46 1
      - Heh. -- nm - znufrii Aug 5, 10:47
- "Ok thanks for your perspective, Bill" ... dared say no reporter -- nm - rollo Aug 5, 10:30 1
  - "COACH." -- nm - Mop Aug 5, 10:31
Oh wait, he's not the head coach? -- nm - rollo Aug 5, 10:29 4
- “Jason Calvin Garrett (born March 28, 1966) is an American football coach and former player who is the offensive coordinator for the New York Giants…” -- (link) - znufrii Aug 5, 10:31 3
  - I guess I'd like to see how other beats address other coordinators, to be sure it's not just trolling by the NY media, which I'm almost certain it is -- nm - rollo Aug 5, 10:35 2
    - I mean, yeah, I’m sure it is that as well. -- (edited) - znufrii Aug 5, 10:38 1
      - 100 -- nm - rollo Aug 5, 10:40
I wonder if Cousins is going long term, trying to make people afraid to tackle him -- (link) - Reagen Aug 5, 10:27 14
- At least now we know which team is least vaccinated. - the wrong element Aug 5, 10:45 3
  - If I’m a bubble player or an easily cut player…I’m getting the jab because I wouldn’t want to be the reason for a forfeit. - Will Hunting Aug 5, 10:52 2
    - Especially if someone you're competing against won't get the shot. - the wrong element Aug 5, 10:58 1
      - Here’s the list of specialist who can be anti-fax and not get cut tomorrow: Justin Tucker. -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 5, 11:11
- sitwap - Chicago Bears TE Jimmy Graham questioning NFLPA after feeling 'forced' to get COVID-19 vaccine - crash davis Aug 5, 10:31 7
  - although "they told us we'd get privileges if we did it and we're not getting privileges" is a better argument than most. -- nm - Reagen Aug 5, 10:33 6
    - Yeah, rereading it, his second tweet has a very legitimate point. -- nm - crash davis Aug 5, 10:35
    - And “privileges” is a euphemism for…? -- nm* - znufrii Aug 5, 10:34 4
      - Having freedom to not be under mask and lock and key and able to use the communal facilities like ice baths and saunas - Will Hunting Aug 5, 10:39
      - Choice of Icy Hot flavors. -- nm - Baron of the Rings Aug 5, 10:38
      - "not being poked in the brain with a q-tip as much" -- nm - Reagen Aug 5, 10:37
      - Deshaun Watson on line 2 -- nm - rollo Aug 5, 10:36
- S-M-R-T! -- nm - Mop Aug 5, 10:30
- How afraid of needles is this coward? -- nm - David Aug 5, 10:29
