Given the shows we are watching, wow, do we really miss sports.
I watched an entire NASCAR race yesterday, almost. Missed like the first 40 laps. Haven’t done that in a long long time.

So if you thought the Daniel Craig version of Casino Royal was not violent enough, HBO Max has a version that includes the parts of the film that were cut to secure a PG-13 rating.

Is it 10 extra minutes of Bond getting whacked in the balls in the torture chair?

Watched it on Monday and really liked it. Had it in my head for the past few days so I bought the soundtrack and now I love it.

I love Casino Royale. My favorite Bond movie. Don’t have HBO Max but this does tempt me to try it out.
I never had friends later on like the ones I had when I was twelve. Jesus, does anyone?

I'll get right on that.
But in all seriousness, there would have to be some added context and even corrections to make something like this more effective. It is something I'd like to use though.

If that was what history class was like, I would've dropped out of school cause it would drive me insane. While I appreciate them bringing more attention to one of the lesser known, but incredibly important/interesting founding fathers, it is very much in that vein of nerdcore rap crap that popped up with YouTube where 'rapping' about Krebs cycle was 'hip' and 'fun' for the kids. And then turned into epic rap battles of history. Not my thing, at all.
That said, I thought the King George bits were hilarious, and I liked George Washington's stuff as well. Could've done without the guy playing Burr doing his bad Kanye impression during all his raps.

I guess you'll just have to wait until Tool writes a hit Broadway show about Maxmillian du Robespierre to find something you enjoy.

I just mean make it interesting and entertaining. I like Burr in the show but don’t listen to Kanye so not saying you’re wrong.
