Colossal TV Show thread

Just saw that the co-creator, executive producer, and show runner for Halt and Catch Fire shares a name with Nazi bro Christopher Cantwell. I'm sure he's had a hell of a week.

I think I'm the only person who didn't love Skyfall. It's much better than QoS and probably better than Spectre, but eh, I wasn't blown away.
I would rate them as Casino Royale - Great, Skyfall - Very Good, Quantum of Solace - Olga Kurylenko, Spectre - Stupid.

Every Bond film before Daniel Craig is an unwatchable cheeseball snoozefest. If I were to rank Bond films it would go like this:

1.) Casino Royale
2.) Skyfall
3.) Quantum of Solace
4.) Spectre
T-26.) Every other Bond movie

The amount of the signing bonus was never "leaked" and the Steelers never offer guaranteed money outside of the first year of the deal, but there was no way in hell he was going to get a better offer out of them. I don't think he's that stupid. I think the fact that nothing is/speculative was guara...

He turned down a deal to make him the highest paid rb in the league, correct? Correct. His franchise tag will pay him $12.1MM this year, putting him at the top of the RB pay chart. Devonta Freeman is now 2nd at $8.25MM. If they decide to give him the franchise tag again next season he would get a 2...

That's cool, but that latest one was uninspired. Yeah. That's why I'm fairly reticent about getting too excited. Didn't care for Spectre at all. However, there also may be a Daniel Craig Bond Generation Skip Theorem developing that could bode well, as far as boding goes. Casino Royale - Great Quant...

Who here actually believes Bannon didn't know this would be leaked? Realistically, I don't think anyone would think that. Bannon is an unmitigated dadhole, but he's not stupid. Trump is an unfixable tire fire and Bannon is on his way out the door. These comments give him some separation from Trump ...

of course Neil Walker and Keon Broxton homered against the Pirates today
Has Cole had a start this year where he hasn't given up a homerun?
8 out of 25. Just under a third is good, right?

I think whatever issues have cropped up in the show are indicative of why GRRM is having so much trouble writing the final books.

That would have created another run of the mill fantasy show. The whole reason it's soooooo good is the slow burn and the delayed gratification. There still could have been delayed gratification without so much delay. A pace somewhere between the slog of Season 2 and the breakneck of Season 7. Mayb...

Dickie Dunn thinks you're a f***ing idiot ...but I agree. Season 3 is the best. This season is entertaining but...different. Hey now. I never said "**** idiot". Don't go putting words in my mouth.

The alt-right is pushing the conspiracy that the driver was drugged & kidnapped the night before and planted in the car after a deep state actor actually drove the car into the protesters.
Okay. So they're more **** in the head than I thought they were all of 5 minutes ago.
