Purely due to my significant time spent on the road/on planes this year, it feels like I’ve watched way more movies than years before.

That being said, many of the acclaimed movies I saw were….meh?

I guess my top movie was Warfare. Number two is Train Dreams.

Train Dreams is beautiful and haunting. If you’re someone who travels for work, maybe watch it at home. Woof.

Bill Simmons’ ignoring Hunt for Red October on the rewatchables needs the 30 for 30 treatment. I still don’t get it.
they should let john mctiernan make movies again
Anyway I'm watching The Hunt for Red October for the first time

Can't tell what irritates me the most about this:

1) 80s suburban still runs in 2025 and wasn't rusted out by midwest salt?
2) 2025 suburban as a modern family car when it's 2x the inflation adjusted price of an 80s suburban?
3) They're now so big you can't see a 5th grader standing in front of it

Honestly my list as well. If we’re considering TV as well, Andor would be my number 2, then ANH, then Mando.
haven’t seen ROS or Solo but this seems like a pretty ball-knowing list from Pritzker, particularly if he volunteered the name “Star Wars” rather than “A New Hope”

Really hope they reboot SG-1 or similar small ball story. The later seasons got…weird.

Honestly thought this Brewers team was special after sweeping the Dodgers in the regular season, winning 97 games, and playing fearless. Instead it looks like we will get snuffed out by the west coast Yankees who can buy another championship. Heartbreaking. 💔

I mean I guess CNATRA authorized this and maybe it will be cool? But after 3 years with them, 23 year old SNAs aren’t particularly interesting? Maybe they can glam up flight school but studying the Form briefing in the parking lot isn’t the same as Hell Week in BUDS.
Well, the documentary trailer is out.

Cinematography: great

Students: pretty cringe but I was a baby lieutenant once too, I guess. I'm trying to be charitable.

What's your guilty pleasure car? Like, people would probably judge you at least somewhat poorly if you were seen driving/owning one.

For me, it's definitely the Hummer EV. I genuinely like them. I know they're problematic for various reasons (but at least not as bad as Cybertruck lol)

These dudes had a hard time recruiting pilots a few years ago, pre-covid hiring wave at the majors. Can't imagine it'll get any better when you're the poster boys for locking up abuleas at Home Depot.
Not a lot of talk on here today about DHS's genuinely blasphemous recruitment video but man. I'm sorry to link to X but it has to be seen to be believed.

I really hope the 20lb brains at Lockheed, L3, etc are working on infinitely scalable and “cheap”SHORAD. Multimillion dollar interceptors against 50k drones is an unsustainable future

Hey veterans, just a thought. If you ever watched Saving Private Ryan and wonder if you qualify for the “Earn This” comment, you do. Doesn’t matter what length or type of service, you did the thing. Pat yourself on the back. Let’s stop being hard on ourselves for a few minutes.

There was a BBQ place in the NAS Pensacola Marina circa 2010 that did amazing pulled pork, red beans and rice, and honestly the best hangover chorizo breakfast burrito I’ve ever had. Stupid NASP leadership pushed them out to drive business to some Sodexo bullshit. RIP

after days of grifters and con men at CES we stumbled upon the booth for VLC. they were all dressed as wizards and told us, "we have nothing to sell, we just decided to show up". i told them I'd been using their software to pirate media for 15 years and they said "keep doing that"

The Guardian (2006) . Haven't seen since I became a 🚁bubba? ⭐⭐⭐

-It's basically Officer and a Gentleman meets Coastie SAR, which 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
-Most of the plot revolves around a main character with PTSD and an unhealthy mix of self-worth and job, which, oof
-The sacrifice at the end was unneeded IMO

What is the best *accessible home sandwich and why is it leftover meatloaf sandwich?

Toasted bread, rewarmed meatloaf, cheese, horseradish/ketchup mix for me

*can be made with standard us supermarket ingredients.

Also I blessedly missed the burrito discourse so this post is my antidote.
