Then you have some kid from Argentina getting sucked into that meat grinder, so it’s no wonder he got chewed up by the system.

I am so glad you brought that up. It’s such a perfect example of what happens when a hobby or a passion for life turns into something totally unhealthy.
You see way too much of that with hardcore fanbases. Even looking at those messy graffiti tags on buildings in cities like Chicago or Philly, you can see the traces of that same intensity.

Anyway, the movie is definitely worth a watch—it's raw. I really loved how the main protagonist doesn't even show up in the present day except through his voice. Honestly, I'm just thankful Michael Jordan is still around today.🙂

Why are you getting so worked up with me, you little forum regular? Why do you have such a hard time with basic logic and keeping things in order?

- When I suggested we "hang out," I was talking about Elon Musk in that other thread about Elon Musk (I was just using a similar invite I gave you elsewhere as an example, though clearly it was for nothing)
- Then Jerry Robinson56 jumps in claiming that’s a LIE
- I’m just adding my two cents to show it isn't a lie—you actually did receive an invitation to that forum panel right when it happened
- Honestly, I don't care if people got a slap on the wrist or a lifetime sentence; all I'm saying is you should talk about it somewhere open, public, and polite
- If you've spent years on this forum being so incredibly persistent about "opening people's eyes," why not try doing it publicly? (Not that you have to, it's your call)
- Looking at how doggedly you stick to certain topics here, it's pretty unlikely that I'm the one taking orders from anyone. I'm just passing through
- I still remember your suggestion about that race to Indianapolis. I really hope someone over at Elon Musk's company agrees to it, and then you'll be notified in plenty of time
- Castle Siege? Is that anything like what happened during that unknown event? 😁

Since a few folks on here reached out to tell me you were claiming it was FALSE that you’d been invited to a panel to have a civilized, public discussion about the war in Canada, I figured I’d drop a little reminder right here. It shows my actual offer and how you responded. Honestly, don't bother reading the whole thing—it's a total mess.

After finishing this one, I actually went back and rewatched Heat just to compare them side-by-side.
It really goes to show how we tend to view cult classics through rose-colored glasses, especially when they’ve got legendary actors attached to them, right?
Personally, I don't think Heat is better overall. I’m pretty sure if you swapped the release dates of these two movies, people would be tearing Heat apart for its pathetic love stories and predictable ending.
De Niro gives a solid performance, particularly that great scene where he first meets his woman, but Pacino is playing it with that same style he used in Scent of Zen—it could have been stronger.
Butler is convincing and brutal in this new version, and honestly, his rival is even better.

Just listen to your buddy once in a while. It won't hurt anyone, seriously. Take care!

I usually can't be bothered to log in when things get heavy, but for the handball fans, I’ll make an exception and type out a few thoughts.
Huge congrats to Coach Babić—he's a great guy. Kudos to all the players too, especially those guys from the West Coast.
My nerves were absolutely shot, but hey, I survived. Still breathing!
It's the first time this squad has played together, so let's just hope we don't end up with a completely different roster by the next tournament.
Shoutout to Saračević, too. I know what it's like trying to call a game live. It's definitely not as easy as it looks.
And a little pre-emptive congrats to the Germans! Love watching them play.

I've actually been saving old posts from people on this forum for years. One of these days, I'm going to post a massive collection. You guys are hilarious.

Since we’re talking about pivots, I was wondering where Marcus Ahlm is hiding? It feels like he’s always nursing some injury right before a big tournament starts.😕

Also, if I can just throw a quick word in—let's dial back the criticism on Dražen Ćosić. He’s a commentator. His job is to cover a wide range of sports, and honestly, he does a great job at what matters most for his role: adding a bit of flair and drama to the broadcast! If we really want to go down that rabbit hole... he doesn't need to be a walking encyclopedia of every single play. Even the hardcore experts can't always agree on referee calls or tactical shifts mid-game!
Just my two cents, no need for a massive debate or a lecture here. Just a little observation.😉

Alex Fowler5 said:Is there nothing on the local news or DirecTV?

It’s actually working now 😁 😁
Just a second ago, my screen went totally black and I got an error saying I didn't have permission to watch the stream.🤷

Man, I just realized how messy all this TV rights stuff has become. It’s driving me crazy... Does anyone know a reliable stream? Any leads would be huge, thanks a million!
Anyway, tomorrow should be a blast—we're going to see a massive battle for those spots between 7th and 13th!
