Yeah. It's a silly flick with a mystery. Cast is likable enough. It started playing after I was watching something else so I had zero expectations and it exceeded them.

For any of you that grew up surfing back in the 70's and 80's I'd highly recommend the Yin and Yang of Gerry Lopez....Patagonia film and Stacy Peralta from Dogtown fame was the film maker......inspirational to say the least and has given me a spiritual guidance going forward from someone I always looked up to from the age of about 10. Unfriggen believable footage some of which I remembered from going to the surf movies at the rec center in jr. high school.

Absolutely. Impressed with Stallone's actual acting instead of Rambo and Rocky......

What did you think? To me it felt like the series version of Sum of all Fears

Yeah, something about Season 3 seemed too forced. It was entertaining, but nowhere near as good as Season 1 & 2.

Watched the 4 part Netflix miniseries on Bernie Maddolf. They go into incredible timeline detail of how it was done, including all the major players. Absolutely unreal. I guess I never realized how “fantasy land” the entire operation was.

Have just the last episode to go. It’s descent and a intriguing concept of all the episodes being played in random order until the last few with how they tied it together.

Here's my personal arrogant kvnt annecdote regarding Madoff... and I've talked about this guy plenty. He's one of 3 people I consider a friend. He's the "rebel Jew" who did K-12 at Horace Man, undergrad at Johns Hopkins, then in Army (we were platoon leaders in Korea together), then Chicago Law, then Big Law in NYC, then big hedge fund, then he was partner with me and schitbag partner (also in Korea with us, who embezzled from us and went to Fed prison for 5 years, then died of cancer... F that guy!).Watched the 4 part Netflix miniseries on Bernie Maddolf. They go into incredible timeline detail of how it was done, including all the major players. Absolutely unreal. I guess I never realized how “fantasy land” the entire operation was.

Regarding Madoff, he said this from when he was with Ivy Asset Management (early 2000's), and he said it to me somewhere between 2004-2007: "Something isn't right there, at all. Ivy has big funds in Madoff, but neither Howard nor Simon had any personal money in... something isn't right".
Oh, and yes, the movie in general, but especially the closing credits of The Other Guys totally showed that McKay couldn't wait to make "The Big Short"!!

DG - I missed anything you've posted about your involvement in this. Is there a thread on here where I can read about it.
I lost a little bit of money in the blockfi thing (I pulled all of my stablecoin out when news of the FTX stuff came out, but I left all of my BTC, ETH, and LINK in there - I have about $18k sitting there that I can't touch because they've filed for bankruptcy - I expect to get a little bit of it back, but not all).

Wife and I finally started Yellowstone when I got back in town form the deployment to Illinois. We got about 3 episodes into season 4 before I set off on this next gig. I'm heading home this weekend, so I imagine we'll finish season 4. Good sh*t!

I don't know. She likes both, I guess. She always says, "everyone like Kayce" (that he's just likable).
I'm annoyed w/ Kayce's wife, her role on the show is kind of useless - a waste of valuable air time. The son too, he's a little b*tch.
