I was a big fan of Rush back in the day. Eventually, I realized his style of caustic media was doing more harm than good for the causes he supported.

No doubt he revolutionized talk radio though. He was a media genius, even if he was an asshole.

 

[Strokin_Bandit]

Indifference is a wonderful character trait. I suggest more people utilize it.

 

[anthonys735]

Never had much for the guy or his show. Lung cancer at 70 is pretty sad though.

 

[PTI (pti)]

Are you disrespectful, thoughtless assholes really gonna look right past the fact that Larry Flynt died this week, too??!

Many of you owe your manhood to his services.

I didn't have HBO when it aired, and I'd kind of forgotten it existed, but I've just recently started Entourage. Kind of ridiculous I hadn't seen it yet. I'll probably be finished with it in a week. Good stuff so far. I assume it goes without saying that Ari is by far the best character.

I watched all 8 seasons and the movie this month. Yes Ari is a great character, but I also found myself remembering that I hated Drama with a passion. Really hurt my enjoyment any time he opened his frigging mouth.

I’ve watched it a few times and hate myself for it. Hate the writing. Hate the casting. Love the plot and setting, though. Ari is good. Never bought Vince’s charisma.

 

[_Chase_]

Yeah, I definitely don't buy Vince as a movie star, and apparently no one else did either because he hasn't really done jack shit since Entourage. Also, Drama is god-awful, and I hate Eric. Really, everyone sucks but the biggest asshole, Ari. The show works though.

 

[TCPUKChamps]

Still.cant believe an Ari spin-off never happened. Jeremy Piven hasn't really done much since then

You should try the movies Jaws and ET, around that same time period.

There's the typical liberal ignorance that is common place these days when they feel threatened, or have no recourse otherwise.

Rush was a force in the media, crucified liberal idiots daily, and it was awesome.

A buddy of mine used to listen to Rush's radio show before he got big because of Rush's craziness. I think the first time I heard him was in 87 I think. What was hilarious about Rush was thinking what kind of f'ing idiots would take this guy's fringe views seriously?

30+ years later.... Errrrbody!

[B.B.d.K.]

I thought The Deuce on HBO (thanks in advance Pope) was a sleeper. David Simon. Really enjoyed & no daunting commitment, like Chad referenced earlier.

Abigail in S1 is damn near a 10 for me.

 

[BleedBlueCats21]

The Deuce theme song absolutely slaps.

 

[drxman1]

I loved Entourage. Ari was the best. I saw him at comedy off Broadway last year trying to do stand up...he was ok, it’s hard. He was trying, worked in a bunch of his own cameos.

Saw Vince playing drums with a band at Martini Ranch in Scottsdale back in 2002. Was cool, guess the band didn’t make it.

 

[Mossip]

I'm back and forth between The Wire and Breaking Bad. The onion peeling and social commentary of The Wire was incredible and never preachy, but some of the cast were terrible actors. BB was great start to finish and "Crawl Space" is the best episode of television ever, imo.

 

[B.B.d.K.]

The Deuce theme song absolutely slaps.

It changed every year. S1 & S3 ftw, but Blondie intro was perfect for the show.

 

[drxman1]

I’ll echo Chad on FNL. One of my all time favorites. Coach Taylor is amazing. Tyra, Layla, Julie Taylor 🔥🔥🔥

Clear eyes, full hearts.

 

[BleedBlueCats21]

I was actually talking about the little outro jam at the end of each episode, misspoke when I said "theme song". But yea, Dreaming rules too.

Umm, Ms Taylor?

Curb
The Wire
FNL
Breaking Bad
The Crown

Narcos, Mad Men, Sopranos, Saul, Downton Abbey, and a host of others can battle for the 5th spot.

Sopranos is absolutely fantastic & elite - but I’m just not there on automatic goat.

As far as favorite individual seasons go, Bloodline S1 for me. In a walk. Worship

The Killing S1 deserves mention as well. True Detective S1, while good, isn’t even in the conversation for me like it is for so many.

 

[_Chase_]

Julie Taylor had elite chest talent.

 

[pretzel__logic]

Drove All F****** Day Randoms:

- Breaking Bad is far and away my pick (and Better Call Saul is also fantastic). I will confess I have not gotten through The Wire (though I did read Homicide: A Year on the Killing Streets and it is EXCELLENT). I know I would need to pay close attention and I just don't have the mental energy to delve into that universe. Same for Narcos. "Ozymandias" is the best BB ep, also.

- I would like to cordially invite each and every lazy dipshit jabroni between NKY and Northern Ohio today who couldn't bother to clean the ice and snow off their vehicle to EMA and DIAF. IDGAF if you're short, or have a tall vehicle, or you're in a hurry. You own a damn broom, sweep that shit off before it turns into an ice missile on I-71.

- Gave Billie Eilish a shot today. I really tried, but I found out that I am apparently too old for the new genre of "Children Making Music While Overdosing on the Ativans Stolen From their Aunt Susan." Fantastic production, tho.

- Turns out Ohio can be beautiful: right after a fresh snow as the sun comes up. It's all downhill from there, though.

- On my drive back, I jumped off the highway long enough to visit the Ohio State Reformatory and see "Shawshank" in real life. It wasn't open for tours today, but even standing just outside the grounds, it's kind of amazing how locked down a decommissioned prison is. The Eastern State Penitentiary in Philly (also a cool visit, btw, you can see where ol' Al Capone lived when he was deep into his Syphilis Brain) didn't have the same restrictions about weapons OSR had posted everywhere.

- Speaking of casually visiting old prisons, my eyebrow girl and I got scolded about another hen in the shop for talking about murders because it could be "triggering." Guess we found the one white 30 something woman in the United States not unhealthily fascinated with murder, SMH. Learn true crime podcasts, toots.

- Speaking of triggering, a law story from me, a lawyer:

Witness today, 100% seriously, testified that in preparation for deposition, he reviewed his paperwork "telling me the date and time and that I had to come give a defamation today." I have never been so glad to have a mask. 🤣

- Go Cats.

 

[PTI (pti)]

Julianne Moore is 60.
Connie Britton is 53.



Good god almighty. That’s two very strong “woulds” in the senior redhead department.

 

[B.B.d.K.]

Plenty of hotter stars of age obviously, but Connie Britton has the “realistic” hot older mom on lock. And her characters are always perfect.

Jmo

 

[legalbeagle123]

Riveting announcing.

 

[august-west]

Boston loves the “heat check”, not that I blame him tonight (or lately for that matter)

 

[ukwizard]

Upset so far is we have yet to take a shitty midrange jumper.

 

[FargenBastich]

-this dude has golf announcer energy. Red head isn't hard to look at.

That is Debbie and she is not good. Perks of being a bad team.

 

[legalbeagle123]

Vandy has only won 6 games lol

 

[Kooky Kats]

Debbie 🔥🔥🔥>>> Vandy 👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻

 

[legalbeagle123]

Let's give Vandy multiple shots per possession please.

 

[august-west]

A little behind, but those Vandy cheerleaders.....bless their hearts

 

[UK_Dallas]

It was too good to be true IMO.

 

[PTI (pti)]

This game sure is exciting.

 

[legalbeagle123]

Any of the other Cal teams would be up 30+ right now. Vandy has played one of the shittiest halves of basketball of all time.

 

[ukwizard]

4 turnovers from our pg thus far.

 

[BLUEHILLS]

Vandy's uniforms though!

 

[legalbeagle123]

Airballed layup.

 

[wcc31]

Can we have one game where we play well for 40 and beat the hell out of a bad team?

Nope
