Smokers don't just affect themselves. They ruin the lives of their kids and affect whoever is around them. Every smoker smells like absolute shit and leaves that in their wake. Ever been in an elevator after a heavy smoker?? Jesus.

The multi-billion idea is to start with a young Napoleon under Pasquale Paoli. Then after a few seasons recast with an older actor, and go through Napoleon's rise to power. Eventually, when the timing is right, you create a spin-off about the Peninsular Campaign and center it around Wellington. Then, you advertise the final season as Waterloo, a TV event 10 years in the making.

That’s why. It’s a classic example of category fraud. Actors can choose which category to campaign in, and sometimes they’ll really stretch into a category where they’ll have a better shot at winning.
I'm glad Denzel is producing more movies based on August Wilson plays. I liked the two they’ve made so far (this and Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom) so I went to a local production of another play in his “Pittsburgh Cycle” and the whole time I was thinking “I would like this way more as a movie”. It’s called Seven Guitars, and it’s three hours of people talking in a backyard. Not really my speed in a theater setting, and I felt bad because I was one of the only white dudes in the theater and I was struggling to stay awake.
Macbeth was so damn good that I want more Denzel in any movie version of a play. Denzel as John Proctor?? Someone make that.

[Netflix (until Nov 30)]
Fences: 8/10
Around some ways into this movie I thought to myself, "this feels a lot like a play," and lo and behold when the credits roll it says it was based on a play. So in that regard I think it is successful. The movie is basically about Denzel Washington as Troy Maxson set in 1950s Pittsburgh. He's kind of a jaded old man through trials and tribulations of his life and for better or worse spreads his jadedness to those around him. It's an interesting cast of characters, mostly related to Troy in some way. Most of the movie is just Denzel shooting the breeze about the good times and bad times and never taking shit from anyone. Personally I've been around conversations like these and I find them fascinating so I could listen to Denzel go on and on about telling the devil to F off or walking 200 miles to Alabama. Not much to say other than that really. It's based on a play, it's like a play, really all you have to do is sit there and appreciate the performances, which are quite good.
As a side head scratcher why was Viola Davis considered a supporting actress in this? She had as big of a role as Denzel. She won an Oscar because of it but just a strange designation.
I'm pretty sure I saw a production of that in college.

All these coordinators got fired and yet none of them were Shane Waldron.

So does KJ Wright. Someone weird going on with Seahawks linebackers (and I don’t just mean an inability to defend a McVay or Shanahan offense).

It’s a tackling clinic (of what not to do)!

lol. It’s gonna be a long game.

Geno is questionable and they promoted the 3rd string QB from the practice squad, so yeah. I bet we see a lot of Drew Lock tonight which will mean tons of big plays (for the defense).

I heard Joe Biden was personally driving the car because he hates America and wanted to knock down the border wall to let all his terrorist friends come pouring through like a swarm of deadly animals…
And I saw one of the terrorists and the terrorist looked at me.

It’s the biggest offseason for the Mariners in 20 years and they’ve already made two moves: trading for a utility guy and then a salary dump.

That's exactly how I feel. He's making art, not a documentary.

It also might be that GoT ending was HIS ending and well we saw what happened there.
I don’t think the problem with the ending was where it ended, but rather how abbreviated the journey was to get there. D and D (don’t care enough to recall their actual names) wanted it over and so just used a giant ellipsis for the final season. What should have been multiple seasons was wrapped up in one short wretched one.

I just think he’s bland. A lot like him but I’ve never gotten into anything of his.

I've always found it the opposite of this, unless they changed something. CBS always had higher picture quality. FOX has Terry Bradshaw who can't even tell the words Browns from Bears when he's reading the highlights. Mark Sanchez calls games with some other jobber.
Moral of the story, they both suck.
Sanchez isn’t actually that bad. As for Bradshaw, I don’t think I’ve watched one of those halftime shows in at least 15 years. I think Bradshaw’s brain actually died at least 20 years ago.

Worst officiated game I’ve ever seen. They gifted the Rams a touchdown with a joke of a DPI.

My god CBS sucks. The picture quality looks like it’s from the 90s and the announcers don’t know anyone’s name. Fox >>> CBS and it’s not close.

Yup. It's pretty clear that the owner stepped in to get Young. I don't necessarily think Reich is the answer or a great coach, but he did get screwed by the situation.
