November Movies: Thor, Justice League, Coco, & Murder
shrader replied to Mark Vader's topic in Off the Wall Archives
First we decided to crucify movies before seeing them, based solely off of reviews. Now we're not even waiting for the reviews and instead burying a movie based off of predicted reviews? I don't even want to know the next step on this downward spiral. -
Sous Vide - Virgin Journey Today! Advice?
shrader replied to plenzmd1's topic in Off the Wall Archives
I need to try a pork tenderloin again. I've been using mine mostly for chicken since it is so readily available. I did one pork tenderloin that I bought pre-marinated and it worked out really well. I may have to suggest that the next time the wife has no idea what we should make for dinner. I probably need work on my searing too, but I have yet to be disappointed with anything. -
It's interesting that they have left them out of all of this so far. It's almost like they realize that group was a dumb addition to the story.

November Movies: Thor, Justice League, Coco, & Murder

I saw it this weekend. They were at least decent enough to do this one good thing for me. -
Right, that was the only one she surprised. The rest she pretty much just let kill her. You can call it the heroic sacrifice, but it's a damn tiger. It's not going to just sit there and take one for the team while the others escape. Well that and the loss of his entire army. Shiva was just rubbing salt in the wounds.

Which one were you talking about here? But yes, I love how just about everything played out with Ezekiel yesterday. Carol gets to take over now because he is completely broken. I wonder if he'll drop the king routine with the rest of the people now like he did with Jerry. I wish she had put up more of a fight. At least a few walkers should have been thrown around before she was overpowered. It didn't seem like a very large group that took her down.

Harvey Weinstein (and others) accused of sexual harrasement
shrader replied to RaoulDuke79's topic in Off the Wall
It's amazing how one accusation can now completely destroy someone's career. I can in no way see someone taking advantage of that. I'm sure a good number are legit, but at the same time, I can guarantee that we are going to have a couple careers that are ruined over a fake accusation. The whole thing is very uncomfortable from just about every angle you look at it. -

The fish out of water stuff fit well though because that’s exactly what he was. So much of the humor here and with Guardians 2 felt so forced to me. They’ve done well with a lot of their movies in fitting in humor in much more natural ways. Stark gets away with it because it’s in his character. That or they’ll have a minor character who exists solely for the comic relief (Antman’s criminal friends, the guy running the library in Doctor Strange, etc...). With this one, they took characters who were never funny and had them throwing out one liners left and right. It’s an odd change to make 17 movies into their run. -

I saw it yesterday. I think just like Guardians 2, they went way overboard with the comedy. It worked in that one, even if it was a bit overboard (Guardians 1 had the perfect balance). It didn't work in this one. The tone was way too different than any movie other movie that included those three main characters up to this point. It felt so forced to me. -
Sabres & NHL 2017-18 - Entry Draft on June 22
shrader replied to 26CornerBlitz's topic in Off the Wall Archives
Outside of Tampa, there is no one that has separated themselves from the pack. The rest of the division is floating around .500, the definition of mediocre. Every single one of these teams is completely capable of going into the tank for an extended period of time. The math is never going to be easy, but with 60+ games remaining, there's a hell of a lot of juggling in the standings to come. Things are exactly how the league wants it, every single one of these teams is very much alive. If you want a clear look at how a team makes a move in the standings, take a look at the last 10 games column of the standings for each team in the division. Two teams will jump out at you. Those are the same two teams who have moved the most in the standings recently and it is very obvious why. Things can change quickly over a 10 game span. Everyone else has tread water over that time and you can expect mostly the same. The key for this team and any other is to break away from that spot where they're taking 50% of their points. Only one or two will. -

shrader replied to 26CornerBlitz's topic in Off the Wall Archives
There's a whole lot of mediocre in front of them right now. Playing at that .600 mark the rest of the way would almost take care of it on it's own. I doubt they have that in them, but stranger things have happened. -

That doesn't happen until the second they get the powerplay going. Their lack of scoring, combined with all the shorties pretty much singlehandedly accounts for at least 3 losses so far. I know that probably doesn't sound like much, but swap out 3 losses for wins and look where they would be in the standings. -
I have no problem with XM switching over to the Christmas music. They've at a couple hundred stations and could probably get away with playing it year round if they really had to. I don't think many are going to one of those 5-6 random top hits stations that they replace this time of the year. This will be my third Christmas in my neighborhood. Everyone on my street is outside the day after thanksgiving putting up their lights. It's kind of fun yelling back and forth at each other or silently waiting for the one guy to fall off his roof. Some might say that day is too early for lights, but you have to do it when you have the free time.

That entire group on defense is a scary sight, 2 NHLers in the group. -
I saw a funny one on the drive to work this morning. There's a mayor race in my town. A guy was standing on the median of the road with a "vote for so-and-so for mayor" sign. The funny part was that he was actually in the next town over. Sure, you'll still get a good number of our residents driving through, but I can't help but think he could have picked a better spot. edit: And I should add that where he was standing, only people drivin away from the appropriate polling place would see him.

His mental state has flipped a few times now over the course of the series. I just can't see how crazy is going to work well in the middle of a war. And it wasn't just during the fight with Jesus. His mind has been shot since the kid got killed.
