AlecbuggCha Cha Real Smooth is the dumbest name for a movie, but Shithouse was awesome so high hopes for this
In his first two outings as a filmmaker, Cooper Raiff has focused on college and post-collegiate characters who don’t know where they’re headed in life, even if Raiff’s career is clearly headed in the right direction. His 2020 debut feature, Shithouse, was a real surprise: a disarming, puppy dog story of a lonely…

AlecbuggGood show, and a good joke.
Missed this over the weekend but it’s still worth sharing.
There’s an HBO Max show called HACKS, and in a recent episode they took a dump on the Sixers:

“That team you were thinking of is the Philadelphia 76ers… They blow it every year. They suck.”
Wow. Well he’s not wrong. They do blow it every year. But they don’t “suck.” Getting to the second round of the playoffs means you’re one of the eight best teams in the NBA, but this squad has had enough talent to get to the Eastern Conference Finals and falls short anyway, so here we are in 2022 with some HBO show making fun of The Process. They hate The Process!
The person who co-created the show chimed in on Twitter:
this was done with love and also immense empathy, as a Clippers fan https://t.co/WovwjVDiTN

If Ms. Statsky is a Clippers fan, then she can relate. She experienced the Doc Rivers era in its entirety. Maybe she can work in a Doc joke for the next season of HACKS.

Ben Simmons was ruled OUT for Game 4 of the Nets/Celtics series with Boston up 3-0. That’s a bummer. Had he played, he could have become the first player in NBA history to be eliminated from the playoffs in two consecutive games.
We tried to be fair to Simmons during his Sixers tenure, which was tough. He did a lot of excellent things for the team, but never improved his offensive game and then forced a trade because he’s a soft crybaby quitter. Now it seems like the blue checkmarks, many of whom blamed Philadelphia fans for running him out of town, are now realizing this.
Cmon MAN!!! Out for Game 4 when it was rumored you were going to make your debut. This dude has ZERO competitive 🔥.. As small a chance as the Nets have to come back in this series, you still have KD and Kyrie, all you need is to win ONE game and take it from there.. #ManUp pic.twitter.com/Y5smcnQkqZ

It’s funny to watch it all unfold. Sixers fans showed Ben a ton of support during the early part of his career. Yes, he was a polarizing player because of the offensive game/lack of shooting thing, but they were fair before they were ever unfair. When he asked out, a lot of doofus blue checkmarks blamed Philly fans for “running him out of town” or whatever that take was, and now they are realizing that Ben is a jabroni and it wasn’t anything that Philadelphia did to him.
Good morning.
EDIT –

Take a second and reflect: How wild is it that there’s a movie in theaters right now whose basic premise is “Jude Law and Mads Mikkelson are exes waging a clandestine magical war to work out the baggage of their relationship,” and yet somehow, no one actually seems to give a shit?

Michael Bay’s undeniable technical proficiency—and to action-movie fans, his charmingly old-fashioned storytelling sensibilities—can be extremely seductive, at least when it comes to luring moviegoers into theaters.

AlecbuggHmm I was really hoping this would just stay a one series open/closed story. How much closure are we gonna get in these last two eps?
Apple TV+’s new sci-fi/horror/drama/thriller series Severance came at a perfect time, with many Americans reconsidering their jobs and the crushing misery that every job inevitably turns into, as the series offered a chilling glimpse into a world where people take desperate measures in order to make their work life…

“Bing bong” became this New York sports catch phrase. It’s the sound the NYC subway doors make when they’re closing.
Anyway, whomever is in charge of playing the song after a win deserves a fat raise. The Bing Bong soundbite before the crowd breaks into 10, 9, 8, 76ers. That’s Joel Embiid final boss-level trolling right there. Everyone was on their game yesterday. The Sixers arena staff. The 2nd half Sixers. Even Doc’s rotations didn’t make me want to pull my hair out. The crowd last night though brought it! You had two of the hottest girls in Philly hanging out:

Commutes are already killer enough, so why not try a sleek bullet train full of bloodthirsty assassins?
