Re: Baseball
A week into the baseball season, and there is already a gambling scandal too convoluted for a single quick post. Shohei Ohtani may or may not be a victim of theft, his interpreter allegedly stealing 4.5 million dollars to pay off illegal gambling debts to a bookie. Baseball might have been bet on, w...

Re: Movies + TV series: Past and New Recommendation

Then he shows up again in the finale of the third act, knocks on the door improvises some lines then there is a hard cut to this jarring shot...

I continue on in the hope that lewisaaron_1989's tastes are more singular and personal and don't have the pulse of the general viewing audience in mind. Leap of faith and all of that.

Re: Movies + TV series: Past and New Recommendation
We went to a family matinee screening of "Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire" What can be affirmed is that it is indeed a movie product. I've seen worse, and left the theater relieved that it wasn't atrocious, but its less a movie than a series of vignettes off of a checklist of what the film nee...

Les Haricots Sont Pas Sale https://youtu.be/NSRcxdTqNiM?si=0iDyJMFdWW-es1Qs Zydeco is a cajunism for haricots. “Hip et Taiaut” are standard Cajun dog names - like Fido and Bowser in English - and the nonsense lyrics are put to many white and black melodies.
