The Franchise is a great book. Very, very dark look at the NFL. Gent made many predictions that came true.
It would be my favorite football book, but North Dallas Forty is the best in my mind.

I’m about halfway through episode 1 of “Murder Among the Mormons” on Netflix. It’s a 3 episode documentary about documents that detail the origin of the Mormon church and the lengths people would go to stop them from getting out.
Good so far

Eh, that’s not exactly what it’s about. It kinda changes direction. But it is a good doc.
Edit:
on second thought...that’s still a somewhat accurate description, but not the way the doc leads you to think at first.

For many years, I never knew what was happening under that podium, which led me to have a fear of speaking in public from behind a podium.
Haha. I got over that fear my Sr year if high school when I had to introduce Miss Universe, Dayanara Torres to the Rotary Club, and speak about something, all I remember was getting to spend a day showing this gorgeous, and fun, woman my dump of a hometown.
One of my pals explained to me what was actually going on under there right before I went on. Boy was I relieved.

This Snyder Cut sucks even more than the Whedon mess a few years ago. Blatantly ripped off Avengers themes, ditto Lord of the Rings (with some really [ Finebaum ]ty cgi that looked like it was running through a $25 graphics card), added what feels like 16 hours of slow-motion footage and stuck Ben Affleck out in front.
Literally nothing about this DC reboot has been any good. How can a series of movies with Gal Gadot and Amy Adams be this unwatchable?

I found it to be better than the Whedon, but that’s the thing about DC. Their comics were always darker than Marvel, and the films don’t reflect that often, and when they do, they are hits. DC isn’t set up to have comic relief or campy undertones like Marvel.
This is why DC movies tend to suck. They try to be blockbusters in the traditional sense, but they become blockbusters when they are truer to what the original content is.

reached a point where i just have no interest in any more super hero movies, we know the story line and the dc movies aside from the nolan's batman movies have been absolutely dreadful in terms of story lines and dialogue

it was sooooo bad on sooo many levels i am sure patty jenkin's director cut dvd will sell fewer discs than steel talking about various types of [ Finebaum ] simply because each of steel's user profiles on here will buy a copy
really good news is there will be a wonder woman 3 so maybe that will kill the entire dc universe
