Essentially Flyertalk / Re: Unofficial Movie Trailer Thread
« on: July 02, 2025, 07:19:51 PM »This looks good. But it might be one of those where the trailer is so good that I might be let down by the full movie. Man, the art of trailer editing has skyrocketed the last 10 years. People say it's cliche now to have a reworked popular song but I love it when it makes sense like this. I might read the book first. I read The Martian after watching the The Martian so I'd like to do it the other way around.Can't recommend the book enough. It was very good. I am excited about the show/movie but to me i do think it showed too much...
I read a couple comments to that effect. The last part of the trailer spoils a revelation in the book. Bummer but I still want to read it. Agree that the trailer should have ended at about 2:20.

I'm rewatching The Crown. Why do I love this show so much? Not sure, but I do.

Hell yeah I scalded the crap out of myself both last night and this morning. It does feel amazing and I was skeptical of the claim that it kept the itching at bay for a couple hours afterward but that's exactly what it did. In your fat face calamine lotion you worthless pos.

Just did a teledoc appt. Sent them a few pics, had a 2 min conversation with the doc and they sent the steroids.
Not sure why they can't just send a drone to drop the steroids directly into my mouth but I guess I'll go to the pharmacy.

« on: July 01, 2025, 02:42:49 PM »Running extremely hot water on it will feel amazing, the hotter the better. It feels like you are scratching every part of it at the same time with the most effective and perfect back scratcher ever devised by man.I've never had it before, even after for sure being in poison ivy. I guess it's pretty common to get it for the first time later in life.
First started showing symptoms 8 days ago.
It started on my forearms.
Then it showed up on my legs.
Now a huge rash on my neck.
I think it's coming for my face next.
WTF is happening?! Why poison ivy, why are you doing this to me?
Any magic cures or remedies I should know about? Anti-itch creams including calamine lotion have done next to nothing so far.
if its spreading that much, I would head to urgent care asap and get a shot.
Do it! The shot is steroids!
Added benefit - it will stop itching for hours afterward.
Potential downside - 2nd or 3rd degree burns, permanent scarring.
Will try! I'm at the stage where I'm considering scratching it with a wire brush until I bleed out and die so 3rd degree burns sounds pretty good!

I ate a whole box of Cheez-Its on a drive the other day. Like a big box. Cheez its are so damn good. If there was an animal that tasted like Cheez-Its I would hunt it non-stop for its flesh. Even during non-hunting season. I would poach it.

Hmmm, interesting charts.
But it seems he's failed to take into consideration that KU sucks complete crap and ballsacks, while K-State completely rules. Curious omission to say the least.

My dog looks like your dogs' mom. White patch on chest and all. No idea what she is. Got her as a rescue back in April.

you're free to have your opinion, but your assertion that underplaying a celebration is more devastating to the opponent is objectively wrong
Depends on the opponent I reckon.

Time to give the unrelated next batter brain damage, I'm just old school like that.
No, never. Wait until the offender is up again and give him the brain damage. That way it's ethical.

The more I consider it the more I think it's mainly in regards to baseball. Act like you've hit the ball before my goodness. I know people will say it's about fun and passion but to me, and old person, it comes across much more lame in baseball.
None of those football celebrations bothered me and I did like the beer chugging ones. One football thing I do think is dumb is the entire defense running to the end zone and posing after every turnover. Also all the turnover props are unoriginal and lame now. It was fine when it was just a couple teams that did it but it was ruined quickly.

« on: June 25, 2025, 10:19:54 AM »Avery doing the Deion dance after his first TD in Boulder was great. Howard and I can't remember who miming shotgunning beers was incredible. Haliburton giving the choke sign to the Knicks was fantastic. Lighten up, Francis.I get annoyed by all the lame ass celebrations in baseball and really most sports now.
I will maintain to my grave (soon since I'm old) that the most devastating celebration will always be to act like what you just did is the most boring, normal, easiest thing in the world for you.
Just to clarity, for you the point of a celebration is to inflict emotional damage on your opponent?
I guess I'm referring more to planned, look-at-me, show up the opponent celebrations rather than emotional spontaneous ones.
Sheesh. You might be looking for the 'shame people for getting old' thread. In here there is no judgement.

I'm watching Stranger Things season 1 with my 14 year old who has never watched it. Man, what a great season of television.

It’s always been about the type of celebration to me. Not a fan of self-aggrandizement. Never have been.
Like, Michael Bishop pumping up the crowd in the corner of the endzone after that run vs NU is peak celebration. Teammates jumping on each other after a QB sack, or chest bumping after a great play in basketbal, and yelling in each other’s faces to hype each other up is great.
Guys doing a bunch of “look at me” stuff has always been lame.
Yes, agree with all.

We ran out of Members Mark™ Natural No Stir Creamy Peanut Butter midweek. I didn't want to go to Sam's just for peanut butter so I did a Target pick up order. Got it home and I accidentally ordered crunchy.

Yeah I struggle with the left hand. Especially with syncopation, which is what my son told it's called when the left hand is playing a rhythm that doesn't match up with the right hand. Almost impossible for me.
If I'm able to press the keys at the same time as the right I can eventually figure it out most of the time.
