It. Was. Fantastic.

Apparently pretty loyal to Herbert’s original work.

I’m interested in watching Frank Herbert’s Dune. It was a miniseries on Sci-Fi channel back in the day. Supposed to be good.

Anybody know where to stream it? I can’t find it 🤷‍♀️

I grew up watching David Lynch’s Dune (and still love it, though many hate it), the Sci-Fi miniseries is supposed to be much more loyal to the original materials.
As much as I love Lynch, I've never watched all of his Dune. May try it again someday; but, yeah, id like to see the SciFi version. Always heard it was pretty good.
 
Happy Choose Day

April 30, 2024: Do not be disheartened when plans do not work out as you expected. This is not the end; it is a time of preparation for what will transpire in your future. You will learn great and valuable lessons that will transform you and accompany you on your journey to a higher and more complete understanding of spiritual growth. Stay strong. Proverbs 3:5-6 Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths.

Are we going to discuss Lebron's Lakers going 1-4 against the Nugget? I still question how some see him as the Goat.
As a Lakers fan since 1977, I want LeBron to take his talents somewhere else.
Time for a overhaul and rebuild. The teams best players are 30+ and the younger guys need to develop.

Saying that LeBron will sign his 52 million dollar option for next season and DeAngelo Russell will opt in on his contract and Lakers will lose in 1st round again next season.

To answer your question though LeBron should retire.

Also most consider MJ as the goat, Kobe Bryant is the goat to me.

Maybe. I’d be interested in any statcast data on the avg length of our home dongs.
Exactly.

There is far more to it than distance of walls. Much, much more. First, opposing pitchers in familiar surroundings and fan backing builds their confidence. Same with hitters at home. Player stamina when on the road. Visual appearance (background) from the pitcher's mound picking up the ball. Wind velocity and direction. Fence heights, irregularities and wall placements. How many do they hit against junk ballers versus power pitchers at home versus on the road. It goes on and on.

Our HR's are line shots or bombs so much of the time. Other teams like UK were hitting fly balls with the wind that barely carried out in their home park.
 
Random thoughts on Christian Conyer to the portal …. I personally hope he comes back. I base this solely on how fun his recruitment was, how he trolled Vince Marrow and iirc one of the Wade twins even tried throwing shade on him when he picked Tennessee.

How Kensucky fans wanted that commitment so bad… then when he picked Tennessee they about faced and claimed they didn’t need him.

He was, at the time of his commitment, the #1 player from Kentucky. I would’ve loved for him to stick around and develop and ball out.

But obviously that’s a tough sell these days.
 
At times, Emmit had three pro bowlers on that OL. And then the Lions, oh those Lions. Barry ran around as if his life depended on it (it did). That line leaked like a sieve. Yet, very often, he made one, two, three, and more defenders miss. It was amazing. I was at some of those games while living in Detroit. Emmit was a good runner but for me, Barry was other wordly in his shiftiness. I would have loved to see Barry on a good team during those years. I say this even though Dallas is my team (a little less interest with their awful owner).
Neither Barry or Emmitt was as good as Sweetness. He was on a lousy team most of his career and he was the show. Every team he played keyed on him. Walter Payton was the best running back of all time in my opinion and I was never a Bears fan.
 
I hope the government has other things on its mind. Also, getting the government involved is a guaranteed way to screw up anything.
don't always agree with this. but getting govt involved here is no better than getting rid of (puts GOP paints on, left leg first)... then the bloated, red taped authortarian NCAA
