yeah i can't believe i read a 1500 page book tbh

i like to read too, but i usually set my limit at 500. it's an easy read tho, which some people shyt on, but i think it makes King appear more impressive. a lot of characters and multiple storylines and he made it a breeze.

compare that to my favorite novel, LA Confidential, which is :mindblown: in terms of remembering all the shyt happening at once. it's like 900 pages shorter but so much harder to follow

my brother is into those huge jonathan franzen novels, suppose i should eventually crack those open. not sure they're disgusting enough to hold my attention tbh

Should I read the book or watch the movie first?

I feel like if I watch the movie I'd spoil a really good book, but if I read the book, I'd spoil one of the GOAT movies :lupe:

I think I'm gonna watch the movie.

LA Confidential or The Stand?

because The Stand movie :camby:

LAC is one of two books (other being The Godfather) that was definitively NOT ruined by seeing the movie first.

in fact the film inspired me to read the book, i enjoyed it that much. tbf i forgot most of the plot details before reading it, so that helped. but i did watch the movie again after reading it and didnt enjoy the movie as much. they did the best job possible, it's a great film, but you just can't put the real story in a movie. they tweaked the plot significantly and dropped really important characters.

whatever you choose, do both, and then let's talk about it in front of a fireplace

I tried to call in on ESPN radio

Operator: What's your name and what do you wanna talk about?
Me: I'm (my government name) from (my current location) and I wanna talk about the Richard Sherman post-game interview
Operator: How old are you (mgn)?
Me: I'm uhh 20 :dahell:
Operator: Thanks for your call (mgm) *hangs up* :troll:

:laff:

Next time you know the deal.

Name = Michael/Steve
Topic = Respect for the game.
City = Cleveland, Pittsburgh, Chicago
Age = 35/36
POV* = I'm a working man, work 5 days a week. I spend my hard earned money on sports and it sickens me when I see (Insert Black Athlete) acting like this. They don't understand it's a privilege NOT A RIGHT, A PRIVILEGE NOT A RIGHT! To play the game. I would do it for 10% of the money. I look at guys like Russell Wilson (or another safe negro) and wonder why everyone isn't like that. Class act.

*If black: Say these guys don't speak for me, they embarrass you.

Not saying you guaranteed to get on but it'll help.

Crazy how many managers looks at Mata and go :ld:. Mou, Wenger, Del Bosque

Didn't Wenger try to sign him?

His next manager will have to accept his weaknesses as a player and give him a free role.

Nah, we was linked with him the same way we are for 100 players at a time. Mata issued a come and get me plea to wenger. Wenger dithered for a couple weeks and then you man brought him. I remember it vividly because I remember being :aicmon: when you brought him.
