one word: Crossroads. also i've seen the Tedeschi Trucks band twice. both times were borderline spiritual experiences.

took this at The Killers show last year:

^^ i came here to say this. they're solid shoes in general, so bonus. i have wide feet too and subsequently have also had slivers of nail removed due to ingrowing, but i just assumed i was a singular freak of nature that society could never accept as human. good to know i have bros out there.

she looks like a cross between Emily Blunt and Rachel Weisz.

yeah i know, i peek occasionally but i can't resist the spoilers. i blame no one but myself.

that's a yes, isn't it.

dude . . . go THIS july. i'll be in Barcelona (which is apparently pronounced with a lisp?) at the end of the month. you and the lady can come to my sister's wedding if you want, i'll just tell her we're friends from the internet. oh and i know nothing about this place, or Spanish. so, sorry. show-off.

i'm wondering who gets the second sword Tywin forged. (which brings me to this . . . is this gonna be a spoiler thread like the Walking Dead one? i avoid that thread, and i haven't read the source material here either. just wondering.)

mother of god. you're an Admin now.

i bet you proposed to your wife the same way. this suit is beyond cool but i kinda hated the Azrael costume. i think that had more to do with the color scheme though.

i think i understand the Universe now.

Boro makes it sound like it might not be worth it, but personally i hope this kid gets dinged for his shitty behavior, even if it's only on his ebay profile, and not, you know, his stupid face. if there's no accountability, there's no system. you're doing the community a service by seeing it through, otherwise he's just gonna flake out on the next guy. i hope his profile is visible so you can see whether or not he got a strike or whatever by the end of this. people like this shouldn't be allowed to use the service (much less breed). yeah i dunno about a trip to asskickingville, but my first instinct on reading the responses was, "i'd love to meet this guy." like i don't want to be friends with him, you understand, i just think five minutes of sitting down with someone like this and having them answer questions about why they're not a decent human being would be beneficial (mostly for them). . . . now all of that said, if you've played GTA5 Online at all, this type of behavior was to be expected, as that community represents a collective of fuckfaces so indifferent to basic decency that skipping a payment would've been their most innocent offense. i'm currently one of them as i don't have a PS4 and wasn't interested in the lastest CoD.

vodka helps. i don't drink though so i just pack brownies.

i've heard good things but i'm in the same boat in terms of not being current on SP -- just wondering if there are a lot of in-jokes that would fly over my head because of that? or not so much? to give you an idea, i kinda don't really know who Butters is. like i'm aware of him, i just have no idea where he came from.

i have more concern for how the goat is being treated.

what the flux is this.

the only thing i can make with my hands is a sandwich (and barely). you're a legend man.

@Kent ok i know i've been nerding out a lot in this thread but i'm glad you brought that up. to steal what my buddy said about it (we like to think we're film buffs), "if there was ever any remaining doubt that TV can do everything film can and more, True Detective just laid it to rest. but how, you ask? with a high-tension six minute extended take that went through an entire housing project and then over a frickin fence." i'm a big fan of these extended shots. Kubrick mastered them. Children of Men (Alfonso Cuaron) has a fucking ridiculous extended uncut chase sequence in a car with a 360 degree camera designed specifically for that shot. more recently, Gravity (Cuaron again) had a lengthy intro shot that was also uncut (although the illusion of no cuts was surely aided by some sly CGI work). seriously, i'm pretty sure the first, like, ten minutes of that movie is a single unbroken shot, which is why you're just immersed from the get-go. anyway, i lose my shit over sequences like this just thinking about how much rehearsal, technical marksmanship, timing, and general coordination they require with so many different moving parts. one person fucks up, it's back to a new take. i just respect the hell out of any director who attempts it, as the results are always really effective. EDIT just found this:

updated the OP with a "thread soundtrack." i love me some stoner rock. pretty cool man, looks just like McConaughey. that. is. awesome. FUCKING SYMBOLISM MANNNNNNNN. @deter: ok . . . now for some non-spoilery info, lol. just learned it's an anthology series like American Horror Story, so it won't be the same cast or the same setting next season. that's pretty cool. it also indicates this season will be a self-contained story. http://www.rollingstone.com/movies/news/the-dark-thrills-of-true-detective-20140228 dunno about you guys but i honestly can't wait to be dissatisfied with how it ends this Sunday. there's no way they tie up every last loose end at this point -- which was probably always the point. either way, this will easily have been the best eight-hour movie i've ever seen.

i mean. you clearly put a lot of thought into it.

holy balls. dat trailer.

why did i just read that.

just so everyone knows, it's a mini-series of eight hour-long episodes -- six have premiered so far, with the seventh ep and the finale premiering in the next couple weeks. plenty of time to get caught up before the end if you're interested.
