Good plan, except you can't watch Brewers games on mlbtv, in market that is. Or use a VPN.

jungle cruise was exactly what I expected out of a Rock/Disney event movie. lots of action scenes, not a deep plot, etc. it wasn't bad, it wasn't great. just a popcorn flick designed to entertain and not make you think too much.

Saw Dune on Friday. Completely blown away, which I haven't been by a movie in a long long time. The visuals are everything we've been told they would be, and the soundtrack is outstanding.

I'll say this. if you're a residential customer and you have multiple cable/fiber issues, you will eventually get told "there's nothing we can do about it" and the reasoning will vary from " you're at the end of a trunk line" or "it's simply too expensive for us to replace that much cable for one customer". I worked for Time Warner, and the service sucked. but they NEVER dumped on a customer and just flat out told them " yeah lol sorry, you're too far out we don't care since you're just a residential anyways"

I worked for them for 9 years. if we could swear on this forum, I'd give you a colorful rundown of the way the customers were treated. but I'll just say this. in a word. don't.

I watched the Sound of Metal -- the story they tried to tell here felt super rushed. He goes from being fine to being almost entirely deaf in a few days, and the story just rushes along from there. I get it, it's a movie/fiction and they have to tell a story, but it just dropped me out of any sense of believability, and the music sucked. There's other things I didn't like in here, but that's a conversation for another place, I think. This film won awards, so it obviously worked for a lot of people, just not for me, I guess.

Brewers acquire Daniel Norris from Tigers
DuWayne Steurer replied to homer's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
While I don't necessarily disagree with the premise that both of our new acquisitions were being put into situations that they weren't expected to be used in, they are also professional relievers and whatever the number You see before the inning they are pitching in is, they should be expected to be able to get outs. It's not like either of them was being asked to close. I will say that Curtiss for sure had a heavy workload placed on him his first week here, although I don't know if that had anything to do with his injury, perhaps just his performance. I know there's a human element to it. I know there's more to performance than just going out there and doing the same thing night after night, but whether you're pitching in the 6th inning or the 7th planning, you got to be able to get outs. Giving these guys a bit of a free pass because we are putting artificial limitations on when they should be expected to perform such as, what inning it is, I think is just being a little generous. I mean, Jake Cousins is being used as a setup man on days when Williams can't, and he's getting it done. -
Was a villain in El Dorado, a really entertaining John Wayne western and I think I recently saw him in Cobra Kai. RIP Yup. He was Johnny's step dad. Played a big time jerk. I'll remember Ed Asner as one of the best ever big screen Santa clauses from Elf. A silly, kinda goofy movie, but Asner played his role with panache and gruff and sincerity.

I am curious as to how many shows weve been at together and not known it. Ha! I was also going to go to this one. I was at the static-x/dope show at the rave. I saw static x live about 8 times. Definitely going to see Deftones/gojira in August. The new Gojira album is sublime.
-
WandaVision hasn't been "great" but the easter eggs and tie ins have been really well done. I think the show has been good and the pacing is fine. I think the show is really weird and it's still trying to find it's footing with some fans, but for long time comic book readers and big time nerdy fan boys, it's been a treat waiting for it to drop every week.

while a lot of people bring up losing Brantley in the CC trade, he wasn't even the centerpiece of that trade and wasn't a highly valued prospect at the time. That is just the cost of doing business. Sometimes you win sometimes you lose. As it stands right now we got a potential future Hall of famer and an already one times MVP for four guys who look like negative value WAR players. trading, just like everything in baseball that has to do with player acquisition, is an inexact science. You win, you lose, sometimes both parties are happy. Through the lens of time the CC trade looks all right to me. We went to the playoffs, that season was fun. a lot of people think that revitalized the franchise. I don't know about that. There's no way to put a value on that. I don't know if that's true or not. But the memories are fun to look back on.
-
Oh man, the Hu are really great. Been listening to them for a while since they've become popular over here. Was going to go see them at the rave before this pandemic put live concerts on the back burner. I really hope they come back around when shows are safe to go to again.
-
The new Static-x album is pretty amazing. I pre-ordered it and got my name in the liner notes. And yeah, it is a really good album
-
WHoever listens to metal, Avatar dropped a new album on youtube this week, Gojira dropped an AMAZING, JAWDROPPING video (Another World) and Mastadon released new music. To hell with 2020, but this was a good couple weeks for metal.

I watch a lot of Brit gangster movies and shows, and the "C" word gets thrown around rather casually in a lot of those shows. To the Brits (and Aussies), the C word is a generic term for "jerk" or "arsehole" or whatever you want to call it. It's definitely not in the same level of nuclear apocalyptic swearword that it is in the US. Apologize if I'm explaining something that people already know, but, there ya go.

Question. Do I have to have watched Breaking Bad to watch Better Call Saul?
-
I just binged Castlevania on Netflix, and I was really entertained. The amount of gore and body parts might be a turn off to some people, but the story telling is actually really well done, and yeah, it's another "Dracula is kind of a sympathetic character, in a way, if you look at it in a certain light" story, but there's enough going on to make it worth watching. Unlike a lot of Netflix originals, it's got a nice pacing to it, and it doesn't drag with a lot of unnecessary exposition to lengthen the seasons. Worth watching if you don't mind a lot of semi-realistic cartoon gore and gratuitous F-Bombs.
-
Im not going to watch Tiger King not because everyone is watching it, but because Im familiar with the news and story around it and its not compelling to me.
-
I didn't mind the movie............ I hated the way they changed the ending of the movie. It changed the meaning of everything that happened. I want to sign up for HBO just to watch this series though. I've heard and read fantastic things about it.

I finally saw Far From Home, and the movie (IMO) runs into a growing problem in the MCU. They have a global threat, with supposed elementals that threaten the earth and Peter Parker says "where is Thor? Where is Captain Marvel?", and the answer is "they're busy". Just like Avengers, when Captain Marvel would have shortened the run time by making short work of all the baddies, they story-lined her out by saying "she's busy doing stuff somewhere else". The solution to this is don't have spider man face global-level threats, so he's not asking for help from Captain Marvel or Thor. That's why Homecoming worked so well. He was facing a threat level appropriate to his own capabilities. Some guy with a flying suit who was trying to steal some weapons. As more and more characters enter the MCU (x-men, F4, etc, etc) they're going to have to stop using "they're busy" when a weaker character like Ant-Man or someone says "I need help from a stronger character." MCU writing needs to make sure the threat level on these individual movies is appropriate for the characters they feature.

Dubon to SF for Pomeranz and Black
DuWayne Steurer replied to torts's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
Pleased so far with Black's results but it's 10 IP. really much too small a sample to draw meaningful conclusions from. He's walked over 5 per 9 in his minor league career, and 4.7 per 9 in the minors this year. A 10 inning sample where he's suddenly walking less isn't indicative of much. I'm not saying he shouldn't 'be in the pen next year. He's got insane strikeout numbers at every level. Just more than sure that 10 IP is a poor use of stats and sample sizes. -
I am pretty sure no one is suggesting that unless you are looking at the first couple of pages when the trade first happened in 2018. Well nobody has specifically said we got robbed, there are still people saying that this may or may not be a win for the Brewers, and there are people saying that we shouldn't have included Jordan Yamamoto. We have a league MVP player who has put up back-to-back 1000 Ops seasons. At this point people are grousing about the trade still just to do it.

There are probably fans who are upset that Brantley turned out great, even though Sabathia almost single-handedly brought us our first playoff appearance in forever. "Winning" a trade is overrated. If the trade accomplished what the team wanted it to accomplish, that's a win. The Brewers have already gotten more than what they hoped for with Yelich and at the exact time they needed it. If all four prospects pan out for the Marlins, that's great for them, as they needed players who could grow and help them down the road. The bolded is my point. That's exactly what I was saying, in a long and rambling way. We got a heavy hitting middle of the order guy (actually a 2 spot hitter) MVP player for four top prospects who weren't going to contribute right now. THat's a win, *no matter what* those four guys do for the Marlins. The Brewers can't acquire guys like Yelich in FA. Getting them this way (or drafting/developing) is the only way. When you can get a guy like Yelich in this manner, you do it! Prospects aren't just guys to develop, they are also assets to be used. Nature of the business.
-
I know we say we overvalue our prospects and we undervalue other team's prospects and etc, etc, etc..... I'm honestly curious for those that still think we gave up too much or are still on the fence what would constitute a "fair" trade or a win for the Brewers when they very literally have the best player in the NL (aside from maybe Bellinger) and there isn't a guy the Marlins got who is going to be an MVP caliber player. There just isn't. At SOME point we don't have to say "Well, we'll wait 8 years from now to see if Monte Harrison has had multiple 8 WAR seasons" to say that the trade was worth it NOW for a team that was going for it NOW. Monte Harrison wasn't going to put up a 1.000 OPS last year or this year, and neither was Lewis Brinson. You're giving up future potential for a sure thing now, when you're in your window. If Yelich produces 40 WAR over 5 years and these 4 guys produce 60- 70 WAR (I"m going with a hard "no" on that, for what it's worth) for the Marlins, it's still a win for the Brewers, because there was no way any of those guys were going to help get the Brewers to the NLCS in 2018.

Acuna is an intersting idea. The question becomes do you expect Acuna to continue to be an 850 to 900 OPS guy, and I would say yes and then some. He hasn't even begun to hit his prime yet. The next question is do you expect Yelich to continue to be an 1150 OPS guy for the rest of his years of Team control, and do you expect the Brewers to contend for the next three or four years while the Brewers have him under team control?
