More exercise is the simplest first order possible solution. A tired dog is a good dog. Some dogs need 3+ mile walks every day. I'm glad you are refusing to crate the dog when no one is home. Good luck.

You can rewatch 1-4, all the flaws are still there, but the show is good, sometimes great during those years. I also found, that after the horrific 7 and 8, rewatching 5-6, while still bad, were still much better than 7/8 where quality fell off a mountain. Yes, GRRM bears much responsibility for GOT going totally off the rails once they ran out of books. It's interesting that they chose for their project something that had built in so many challenges for an adaptation, instead of something a little more straightforward. It is hilarious in a bad way that Rian 'yes I ruined Star Wars' Johnson is also involved. Doesn't bode well, but we'll see I guess, I have not read the source material.

Dune part 2: the spoilers must flow (Spoilers for the movies)
Cas Stark replied to Kalbear's topic in Entertainment
I much prefer 1984 Baron to the new one. The loss of his hideous facial disease is a shame. I love both Jessicas. Always hated Kyle M so Chalamet is a big upgrade. There is a lot to like in the Lynch version, even though there is a lot that is insanely bad. It's a loss for the movies that they've eliminated almost completely the stuff about the spacing guild. Dune should have a GOT kind of vibe to it. -

Watch, Watched, Watching: Watching Severance and working for Lumon
Cas Stark replied to Veltigar's topic in Entertainment
I've never watched Godfather I&II and not been blown away. Perfect casting, great acting, cinematography, okay I could have used a little less brown, but that's a quibble. I def feel that it deserves its place as 'one of the best movies ever made' even if James Caan wasn't Italian. I can't imagine though what Paramount had been thinking when they wanted Robert Redford to play Michael, that would have been insane. Casino is one of my favorite Scorcese films, I like it much, much better than Goodfellas. Watched The Batman this weekend, which I had completely forgotten even existed. Liked it a lot, but I have hated how the super hero movies all devolved into total camp, jokey one liners and much prefer when they take their stories more seriously. Also Wolf with middle aged Jack, still charismatic as hell, young hot James Spader and Michelle Pfeifer, who was so beautiful in the 90s. -

I bet the Chiefs, so Chiefs. Of course Taylor will be there, that was never really in doubt, she's extremely rich and has her own plane. I'm not much of a TS fan other than to say she seems better than most current music celebs, but it's been kind of fun to see an adult discover football and go all in on it, wearing the gear and screaming and jumping around during games.

ROP Galadriel isn't a 'fire brand'. She isn't 'young' and lacking wisdom, she is a lying, unhinged, monomeniacal, genocidal, arrogant jerk with zero leadership skills or emotional maturity. -

It was completely mediocre in everything but CGI, which is fine for an Amazon Prime show except that it cost a BILLION dollars and is Tolken. That makes it a failure. I had a pretty hard time getting through most episodes in a single viewing, same for WOT, but I eventually got through it, and I expect I will also watch season 2. -

Is there any legitimate reason to believe that ROP will improve? Are there interviews from the showrunners or actors or producers that give any impression of such a desire for 'improvement'? I expect it to be exactly as bad as it was in the first season. The extreme levels of stupidity with the Galadriel/Sauron story and how they ended it, make it impossible to fix the character flaws the show introduced for her. -

Finally watched Barbie. Okay, Gosling does a very good job in keeping just the right tone throughout the movie and the production design is unique and inventive. That's all I got. Equalizer 3. Stylish. Violent. Denzel. Three thumbs up. -

Not really. The Ravens played pretty poorly from the jump, they did appear to change their general strategy, e.g. abandoned the run, etc.. The Lions played well, then choked, and still almost pulled it out at the end. You could even say that refusing to abandon their tendency to go for it on 4th was a key reason they ended up losing.

Cas Stark replied to Mr. Chatywin et al.'s topic in Entertainment
Watching Reacher, I don't notice it being any worse than season 1, which I remember exactly zero information about the plot. It's dumb, superficial action entertainment. There is no there there. And, that's fine sometimes. Also rewatched 1948's The Heiress, a masterpiece of directing, casting, acting. It's funny that William Wyler is practically forgotten when it comes to 'best directors' lists these days. Rewatched LOTR, which triggered a remembrance of how much I hate ROP and its dumb version of Galadriel. -
Is there even anyone in the 'elite' category right now except Mahomes? Is Joe Burrow or Lamar Jackson elite? I don't think so.

If Dak is a top 10 QB, then the NFL has fallen farther than I thought. He's better than average with a strong streak of mediocre.
