How can we make this match relatable to American audiences? Let’s run that Tom Brady story again! -- nm - Mop Dec 10, 10:03
40 years ago this weekend: 48 Hrs., The Verdict, Ghandi, The Toy, Sophie's Choice, Airplane II -- (link) - Max Dec 10, 09:51 [youtube] 3
- (maybe worth noting here how conspicuously and unapologetically racist 48 Hrs is). With The Toy, that was quite a weekend. -- nm - Max Dec 10, 11:32

- They wrote off his campaign numerous times, 4 years ago. -- nm - Mop Dec 10, 09:37 3

    - Gotta get those clicks! -- nm - spamlet Dec 10, 09:50 1
      - Here’s where I am at this point -- (link) - Roger More Dec 10, 10:12

Hard to watch this match with the din of whistling by the Morocco fans when they don’t have the ball. Which is most of the time. -- nm - Loyola Dec 10, 08:28 1
- It’s no vuvuzela but it’s certainly annoying. -- nm - Volnelk Dec 10, 08:48
PASS IT! PAAAAASSSSSS IT!!!! -- nm - Spain Dec 10, 08:23
Weird, this is being reported on NBC news but I'm not finding it anywhere else. Too recent? Or Bing just a useless search engine :/ -- (link) - Meg Dec 10, 08:19 1
- The Channel 4 story is 9 hours old. No one else is running with it. I assume it's too niche for anyone else. -- nm - Mop Dec 10, 08:27

Grant Wahl's brother sure don't think it was natural causes -- (link) - hollywood big shot Dec 10, 07:32 4
- That was my first thought too. -- nm - Loyola Dec 10, 08:32
- I don't think it's inconceivable that they would, but I also don't think they were worried enough to do it. -- nm - Reagen Dec 10, 07:35 2
  - KSA lured a journalist to their embassy and chopped him up with a bonesaw for writing mean things about their king, and didn't try to hide it - hollywood big shot Dec 10, 08:10
  - Agreed. -- nm - Krusty Dec 10, 07:44
No ‘Morocco to shock the world’ talk? I know England-France is the marquee matchup today. -- nm - Volnelk Dec 10, 07:13 2
- I think Portugal is going to win by a couple of goals but I do hope Morocco pulls off the huge upset. -- nm - Krusty Dec 10, 07:23 1
  - Agreed. -- nm - Volnelk Dec 10, 07:26
Not anticipating any more big albums this year, so my top 30 songs for 2022 - Reagen Dec 10, 06:44 23
- Quite a few bands that I know, but not the song. Dressed to Kill is on The Twenty currently. Wild Child will likely make my own list. -- nm - Qale Dec 10, 08:11
- my top five - mud Dec 10, 07:22
- It’s staggering just how much music is out there. -- nm - Volnelk Dec 10, 07:11 13
  - the streaming era has its pluses and minuses - mostly minuses for the most popular stuff - but as way to have THE ENTIRE CATALOGUE of all music - Reagen Dec 10, 07:15 12
    - minuses: the artists rarely see a dime of it -- nm - hollywood big shot Dec 10, 07:28 2
      - pluses: without it, some artists would never be ever heard from at all. -- nm - Qale Dec 10, 08:12
      - One of the reasons I stick with Tidal is because they're better for this. -- nm - Reagen Dec 10, 07:30
    - It’s just nuts. I collect records. I’m in record shops all the time. Ringer’s 33 best albums of the year? I have one. I’ve heard of two. -- (link) - Volnelk Dec 10, 07:25 8
      - There’s a distinct streak of hipsterism in music criticism. If it’s popular, it sucks, but in a few cases something is so popular then it works it’s way back around to good. -- (edited) - Tim Dec 10, 08:37 2
        
        I remember reading a review of a Metric album where the main thrust was that they thought Emily would be annoying to talk to at a party. -- nm - Reagen Dec 10, 08:49
        
        the best critics have never been snobs. just very sophisticated jive detectors -- nm - hollywood big shot Dec 10, 08:39
      - I’m surprised - there are a bunch of decent success or bigger folks - carly rae jepsen, drake, the 1975, nas, beach house, kendrick lamar, bad bunny, - i.b! Dec 10, 07:42 4
        
        CRJ hasn’t remotely come close to a second (or 3rd technically) hit in years but always gets critically acclaimed. -- nm - Tim Dec 10, 08:25 1
        
        not as huge, sure; but a few songs from the latest album have gotten quite a bit of play and social media use. - i.b! Dec 10, 10:26
        
        I’m aware of those artists but have no interest in their stuff so I suppose my comment was misleading. -- nm - Volnelk Dec 10, 07:45 1
        
        the 1975 is a band I feel like I'm supposed to like but am just bored by. -- nm - Reagen Dec 10, 07:51
- And I just realized there was some release date funny business with the Spoon album and it was on 2021's list -- (edited) - Reagen Dec 10, 07:07
- I know three of those! -- nm - Tim Dec 10, 06:55 5
  - Metric, Black Keys and YYY? -- nm - Reagen Dec 10, 07:03 4
    - Yep. I recognize quite a few more artists but only those 3 songs. -- nm - Tim Dec 10, 08:16
    - I didn't know Metric had a new album! how is it ? -- nm - mud Dec 10, 07:25 2

I can't believe two different wrestling promotions have let William Regal slip through their fingers this year. -- nm - Ender Dec 10, 00:12 3
- AEW treated him right, but his son and best friend are in WWE. So, he wants to go home. -- nm - David Dec 10, 08:59
- I totally can with Vince. He hated people better at wrestling awareness than him and got a chance to flex his muscle. - Will Hunting Dec 10, 06:39
- He’s expected to be back with WWE in some capacity. His kid’s in NXT. -- nm - Tim Dec 10, 06:02
My church has decided to restripe the parking lot this Sunday... Does anybody else see the problem with this plan? -- nm - Ender Dec 9, 23:50 10

  - the striping company is probably booked liked crazy. -- nm - Remlik Dec 10, 07:35 3
    - The machine that makes straight stripes is booked out until March for weekdays. If you want diagonal stripes on a weekday we can get that one on Mon. -- nm - Reagen Dec 10, 07:40 1
      - I dunno. Sounds kind of gay. -- nm - Qale Dec 10, 08:17
    - It seems a nice woman has volunteered to do it, based on the post below. - Krusty Dec 10, 07:38
- I guess they're counting on the free labor and don't care about the chaos? -- nm - David Dec 9, 23:54 4
  - It is 100% a free labor thing. The niece of a member (who does not do this professionally) has volunteered to do it by herself. -- nm - Ender Dec 10, 00:00 3
    - Now that I think about it some more, aren't you supposed to rest on Sundays? No work on Sunday. -- nm - Krusty Dec 10, 07:08

according to the 10 pm news the A's deadline has passed for staying in Oakland. they are looking at the Tropicana hotel land for the stadium. - Peglegpete Dec 9, 23:11 1

I place the odds that Grant Wahl was murdered at 70%. -- nm - David Dec 9, 22:23 4
- Makes for a convenient villain, but I’m skeptical of this storyline. -- nm - znufrii Dec 10, 06:43
- I have it at 10% and that there's even a thought it could happen is crazy. This WC never should have happened in this country. -- nm - Krusty Dec 10, 05:34
- Nah. Qataris honestly don’t give a shit. -- nm - mafic Dec 10, 01:20
- I dunno...he was covering soccer... There's a 60% chance he died of boredom. -- nm - Ender Dec 9, 23:38
*grumble* The Vudu version of The Abyss has been stretched from 2.35:1 to 16:9. Guess I'll have to dig around in the basement to find the disc... -- nm - Ender Dec 9, 22:12 2
- Director’s cut is my fav -- nm - Flavorize Dec 9, 22:24 1
  - That's what I've got. PS5 is playing it as a 2.35:1 picture inside a 4:3 box so I've set the tv to zoom mode. It is... suboptimal... -- nm - Ender Dec 9, 23:03
