  1. 5 years ago I'd have been shitting myself over these trailers. For some reason I'm just not overly thrilled with either of them. Life has changed since Cocaine Bear came into my life.
  2. This is a bit misleading. Rebel Moon was always going to be two films shot back-to-back. Principal photography for parts 1 & 2 finishes this week. A teaser might be out tomorrow. It's just like in my dreams. Is it just me or was that bear getting a bit too familiar with Alden Ehrenreich?
  3. I was just thinking the same thing. Shared Universe. Cocaine Bear Meth Lion PCP Giraffe Ecstacy Timber Wolf Ketamine Hyena Cannabis Beagle: He wears an eye patch and commands an implausibly huge paramilitary organization. he recruits Cocaine Bear in a post credits scene.
  4. I am completely ignorant of the events IRL. But this film will be a comprehensive failure if it doesn't feature an extended bear-tripping-balls-rampage-murder-death-kill montage. It should last about 20 minutes. It should start out, "kinda funny"; evolves into, "slightly unsettling"; then, "downright disturbing","truly horrifying"; and finally,"crime against humanity". Then clear a shelf Sunshine, because awards season is just around the corner.
  5. He had one of the most memorable lines in Die Hard... Which I'm not going to quote here as it could be interpreted as staggeringly inappropriate.
  6. That's not very surprising. Avatar's opening was a bit soft; not just as a function of total box office but it actually made more money in its second week than its first (domestically). It's interesting that the mention the weather. I wasn't on the east coast but I distinctly remember the roads were shit and there was a hell of a lot of snow on the ground that weekend. I think I saw it at the beginning of week 2. p.s. All the moneys.
  7. I'm going with my niece on opening weekend. I'm thinking I should buy tickets soon.
  8. Gina's going to get paid, son! According to the source quoted in the article, this thing will premiere roughly a year from now. So either they've already completed pre-production or this project will have to come together in record time. I expect production values to be top shelf. Please tell me Donald trump and/or Steven Segal will get cameos in one or both of these productions.
  9. I think Russell found the perfect situation this season. Obviously he would have wanted a more competitive car, but if he was actually competing for a championship the pressure on him would have been much greater. I'm sure Hamilton was feeling it too. As it stands, he got a few podiums and scored his first GP win. Next season is full of possibilities. He's got to be feeling pretty good right now.
  10. In my defense, I might have read your post really, really fast.
  11. Alain Prost, a strong candidate for F1 GOAT, got sacked twice for publicly badmouthing his team (Renault in '83 and Ferrari in '91). The same thing might have happened with McLaren in '89, but he was already on his way out, having signed with Ferrari. At the 1984 Italian GP, Toleman didn't allow Senna (another probable GOAT) to drive because of a contract dispute involving his signing with Lotus for '85. The problem isn't just that Max jeopardized 1-2 in the drivers championship, which RB probably wants more than a win right now because they've never achieved the former and have plenty of the latter. It's the way he defied those team orders. Stupidly, disrespectfully, and publicly. As was stated before on this thread, "Like a shitty boss". All apparently over some insane speculation of Checo wrecking his qualifying in Monaco. No one is irreplaceable.
  12. Depending on how reliable the reported numbers are; between the drivers salary and perks plus the moneys paid to various stakeholders to sort out the contract mess, Jean Alesi may have been the most expensive F1 driver in history when he went to Ferrari in 1991.
  13. At the next race in Abu Dhabi, Every driver should finish all their radio communications, "Are we clear about that?" How fucking amazing would it be if McLaren and RBR announced a Lando-Max driver swap next year? "That's what you get for talking down to our race engineers. Eugene is absolutely beside himself.*" * I don't know the guys name. It just came to me.
  14. For reference, this is Monaco qualifying from 2022. I see nothing to suggest this was intentional. The Ferrari spinning at the same place was probably the result of seeing a car blocking the track and intentionally throwing it into a spin. But the Alpine going off at almost the same time suggests it may have been spitting rain in places or a car had dropped some fluid on the track. Max is out of his mind.
  15. This is all correct. I'm also reminded of some of his sketchball antics at the end of last season. And let's not forget that he won his first title under controversial circumstances. In short, Max can be a bit of a brat. Other drivers are taking notice. I'm also reminded of how Max Biaggi exited MotoGP. I would argue that he was a more naturally talented rider than Rossi (maybe the most naturally talented racer of all time), but he lacked the mental toughness that comes with tons of early success and a lack of experience. Forget, "rent free"; Rossi was able to climb into his head and build a condo there. When does George Russell's contract at Mercedes expire? I'm sure Alonso wouldn't mind a crack at that Red Bull. It wouldn't be the first time a pile of cash was involved to transfer a drivers contract. Yup. Yeah, I read the same thing. It's insane if it's true.
  16. According to Racer.com, no one brought updates to Brazil. It looks like everyone is focusing on next year. https://racer.com/2022/11/11/technical-updates-sao-paulo-gp/ Sao Paulo is only 760m above sea level. Not really high enough for altitude to play a major factor. I think you might have a point about, "understanding the upgrades". Mercedes have been working on their car all season and it look like it's starting to come together for them. It might also have something to do with engine supply. Ferrari have obviously had some issues earlier in the year and I thought I heard something about Red Bull burning through their Honda engines faster than anticipated. If Mercedes put fresh or low-milage engines in their cars this weekend, that might have contributed. Or it may just be as simple as Max and Charles taking themselves out of contention with their respective on-track dramas. They were both looking pretty racy up to that point. That's a good way to find yourself driving a Haas in a couple of years. Red Bull is not a team known for being nostalgic about their driver lineups. Someone should educate Max on Fernando Alonso's lone year with McLaren and the consequences of extreme not-being-a-team-player. I can't imagine Max is very popular in that garage right now.
  17. What's the explanation for Mercedes' sudden performance gain? I only caught the highlights but it looks like Mercedes cars led most if not all the laps today. Plus Russell got the fastest lap of the race. I mean, they've shown pretty steady improvement this season but nothing like this. Have they found the magic formula with their car or is it down to a lack of performance from the other teams WRT cost caps and such? Plus, I thought Mercedes was dealing with a bit of a power deficit (all the Mercedes powered cars were down on straight line speed at the start of the season) and Sao Paulo is a bit of a power circuit. Yeah, that was pretty selfish on the part of Max. He ignored team orders and may have cost them a silver medal in the 2022 WC and for what? 6th place in Brazil? C'mon.

  19. Did I say, "three billion moneys"? Make that three-point-one billion.
