re: Rogue heroes: what’s this boards thoughts?
Posted by msap9020 on 4/2/25 at 9:12 pm
Loved season 1. Tried to watch season 2 a couple of times and can’t keep going. Not as good in my opinion but I’ll probably go back and give it another shot at some point.

Fountain of Youth - New Guy Ritchie movie w Natalie Protman and John Krasinski
Posted by msap9020 on 4/2/25 at 1:09 pm
Ritchie seems to be a busy guy lately and he usually makes good stuff. After watching the trailer, I have to say I am intrigued. Definitely has an Indiana Jones feel to it. Coming out May 23

This was supposed to have been a Ray Donovan spinoff as an origin story.
I mean I see the parallels. Harry is basically an English version of Ray Donovan but I am curious how they would spin this one off?? What's the connection supposed to be?

First episode dropped today. As expected, fricking phenomenal! This series is going to be really good.
One Battle After Another (Trailer) - New Leonardo / Paul Thomas Anderson Movie

I will probably see this because of the director and cast but honestly after watching the trailer twice I have no fricking idea what the movie is about.

I mean she is attractive but from that video I cant tell where her waist stops and her tits start. Too much athletic bra.

Speaking of DOTD waste. A bridge in Houma broke where they needed a manlift. At first it was a simple fix the bridge was going to be out a few weeks. Mind you this is a lift bridge that is stuck in the down position. So they closed it to marine and car traffic.......................Then there is the Company Canal Bridge in Bourg that is supposed to be finished in mid April, a 4 year bridge replacement, nearly a full year behind schedule. I will be shocked when that one opens. If they decide to hold a ribbon cutting ceremony, I want it to be shortest ceremony in history or none at all, just remove the barricades and open it for traffic.
Call Kelly Sills........oh wait...

Corporate companies and Private equity groups are buying old vet practices, not changing much about them for a few years and keeping the vets on. So you may still take your pet to the same vet thats actually owned by a corporate company.
These companies have purchasing agreements with the manufacturers of the drugs your pet is prescribed. These corporate companies have those agreements which allow them to buy the same products as your old vet used to, but for much cheaper prices.
So your "local" vet gets bought out because he cant keep up. Corporate companies buy out those old vets, dont need to change too much, and can immediately run a more profitable business in large part because of that buying power.
Thats a much better explanation than your first post - thanks.
Knew the part about vets being bought out. My next door neighbor is a vet. Did not know the prescirption rebate part. Interesting.

Hopefully this ends up being good. Watched 5 minutes of the first episode and feels like a quasi circle jerk to Hollywood
Watched first 2 episodes and sortve thought the same thing but realized the first episode is just to set up. The second one takes off.

How's this: Most cabotage ocean shipments out of the US going to another US port must be with a US crew....per the Jones act. There are ways around this however.
Not like there used to be. They have clamped down on a lot of the loopholes. Just went through this on a large project trying to ship modules to Alaska through the Panama canal.

Funny that you mention this. I just went down a family ancestry rabbit hole and have quite a few ancestors that came through Maryland as you mentioned. They either married a spouse there, came in there or both from Nova Scotia/Acadia or "New France". This branch went all the way back to early 14th century central France.

As others have said SM has been gone for a while but Am Mart is still there. I have boys at LSU and they still drive out there for the sandwiches.

Should people who follow the posted speed laws acquiesce to people who do not feel like following the those laws applies to them?
They are 2 different laws. Speeding is against the law and remaining in the left lane while not passing is against the law no matter your speed.
Its really not that hard to understand.

Snipe and Tackysweater should carpool off a cliff together and free up the highway for people who actually know how to drive.

Just went for a tournament last year. Think Grand Isle or Port Fourchon but the fishing isn't as good.
