Josh, Larry, Bo, Yank, and others do most of the work, but it is a big mess we get from Kiid. It’s hard not to step in it from time to time.

I was expecting playoffs only.
But the advantage of playing an abbreviated 10 game schedule is it would generate interest in playoff races/seedings, get people back thinking NBA, allow players to get back in condition prior to the playoffs, and generate more $TV.

The downside is something goes wrong with the quarantine before you finish the playoffs.  And you have more teams playing diverse opponents, which entails more risk than just playoff series.

Well played Facil. 

Just when you think it is safe to get back in the order, a turd come floating across the surface of the pool. 

WHO

ME?

[bodiddley]

Facilatatorn has been pretty consistently amusing in the politics thread inventively ripping into Trump and mocking our resident rightwinger.

[kiidcarter8]

heh

that's one word for it

Finally saw Uncut Gems (Netflix)

Pretty bad.

[bodiddley]

Disliked Uncut Gems.  I hated the music and the close-up, shaky cam.  When the climax of the film involves one guy watching a basketball game on TV for 2 hours while three other guys are stuck in a vestibule fuming, you know something isn't clicking.  An ugly pointless film.

My Top 5 films of 2019 so far:
1.   Judy -- Zellweger is terrific; cacthes the time/place/vibe very well
2.   Jo Jo Rabbit -- quirky, a bit goofy, two terrific child performances
3.   The Last Black Man in San Francisco -- only saw 2/3rds of this on a plane, but it had heart and a message, and went in unexpected directions at times.
4.   Lighthouse - a taut & tense two-man drama; not everyone's cuppa
5.   American Factory - the access and culture clash is impressive; but there were more details that needed fleshing out

Honorable mention:
6.   Yesterday - light fantasy film that gets you interested in a Pakistani-Brit singing Beatles tunes.  Much preferred this to Blinded by the Light a similar tale of a Pakistani-Brit being inspired by Springsteen, which dragged at times and wobbled in tone.

Blinded by The Light - if you liked Yesterday

Trump was not my candidate

And my vote didnt help

Watching Uncut Gems was two of the most unpleasant hours of my life.
Couldn't wait to get out of the theater.
Painful film about unlikeable people.

You must watch Parasite.   It practically swept the Oscars.

I am told TNT's Snowpierecer is by the same that did Parasite.

If it's anything like the Snowpiercer movie i wouldn't watch it.  The 2 hr movie was enough for me.
