  1. John Logan Tapped to Write Film Adaptation of Cormac McCarthy’s ‘Blood Meridian’ VARIETY.COM "Gladiator" writer John Logan will adapt Pulitzer Prize-winning author Cormac McCarthy’s "Blood Meridian" novel into a feature film for John Hillcoat. Good luck!
  2. Most non-solicitations cover employees too though, which is my real issue. Protecting client/customer portfolios is fine.
  3. The games are very campy and deadpan, so I can see how the series would be seen as a try hard without that context. I'm only three episodes in but so far they did a very good job capturing the tone of the games.
  4. I've had Pizza Al's and can confirm it is legit.
  5. I'm not a prude about smoking but goddamn this poster makes me mad. Why does he need a cig in his hand? Why does the Joker even need to smoke? It adds absolutely nothing in terms of characterization, and it doesn't make him look any cooler. I'm 99% sure it's only to give Joaquin a way to smoke on set.
  6. There is something to be gained from simply putting everyone else on edge, even if you don't intend to follow through. It can undermine the opposition's confidence in their own assessments.
  7. Previously posted food truck down at a cool beer garden on the river. Brilliant stuff.
  8. So can you nerds finally tell me if Children of Dune is worth reading? I liked Messiah - in some sense maybe even more than the original (Scytale and Hayt rule). But I don't want to read it if it sucks.
  9. Makes you understand why people used to worship and sacrifice humans to the sun.
  10. Havana Syndrome mystery continues as a lead military investigator says bar for proof was set impossibly high WWW.CBSNEWS.COM Efforts continue to investigate brain injuries suffered by U.S. officials. This is the fourth 60 Minutes Havana Syndrome report and, for the first time, there's evidence of who might be responsible. Normally I would be skeptical of this angle but Christo Grozev isn't a hack.
  11. I know a white boy from South Africa didn't just talk about bad guys building walls...
  12. In terms of broken bones I guess that would make six times.
  13. After re-avulsing my Achilles in September while beginning weight bearing, I started to ween out of the walking boot in early January (already a little longer than I clinically needed to out of precaution). After a few days I saw bruising and a lot of swelling...I sent pictures to the doctor, saw my physical therapist, and he determined it was a midfoot sprain; unexpected but not totally crazy given how long I was in the boot. I went back into the boot for another week or so, then began the weaning from the beginning (an hour a day at a time)...As I weaned I continued to see residual swelling, which my PT said would be expected, and that as long as I didn't see any more bruising I should be good to proceed. That brings the timeline into focus two weeks ago, when I worked my way up to being completely free of the boot - residual swelling, but I hadn't seen more bruising in that time, so I wasn't concerned. Today my ortho took an x-ray and determined I had developed Charcot foot - a rare condition for people with neuropathy (primarily due to diabetes, though not in my case) and that four of my metatarsal bones were broken. So...Back into the boot for two months! I am allowed to walk on it at least, but it is certainly not fun to be that your foot is essentially collapsing in on itself.
