not really. the thing is with each horse you bet the cost of the ticket goes up exponentially

tbf this sounds a lot more like what I said than what u did
― lag∞n, Friday, 27 January 2012 21:11 (twelve years ago) link
or what moldy did
lol ipad
i dont think that's exactly right cause were it true in situations where theres a lot of rolled over money itd make sense just to bet every horse
i was responding to this. just saying that this ticket would not be cost effective
― Aerosol, Friday, 27 January 2012 21:19 (twelve years ago) link
ah so yes ty for that info it was I think the missing piece
― lag∞n, Friday, 27 January 2012 21:21 (twelve years ago) link
btw factoid it is often a winning proposition to buy every lottery ticket once the pots get big enough, just not logistically feasible

Ok, just saw the pilot. Not bad, not amazing. The soundtrack--Sigur Ros as a horse is euthanized in particular--were distracting. Felt rather unengaged during most of it, yet when it was over I wanted to see more.
No Deadwood, not yet anyway, but I'll keep watching.

Could do without the Massive Attack theme song (good song, wrong fit), the cajun guy, the handsome picks guru, and Dustin Hoffman. Otherwise, good stuff.

idk how anyone can do without dustin hoffman

It's easy.

dustin is best
― lag∞n, Monday, 30 January 2012 23:08 (twelve years ago) link
i'm a total dustin hoffman stan after seeing straight time. his performance in that one is one of the most committed and convincing and _physical_ performances i've seen.

super dope movie 4 sure

yeah it's the best basically

and there's a connection in that michael mann did an uncredited rewrite on straight time.

wow did not know that

I like Dustin's Hoffman's good performances. I did not care for him in the pilot of Luck, and also I did not care for him in Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium.
― polyphonic, Monday, 30 January 2012 23:14 (twelve years ago) link
Dustin's Hoffman's
the review in nyer says he kinda just plays it as a cypher the whole time and gives u nothing to care abt but im gonna go ahead and see for myself
― lag∞n, Monday, 30 January 2012 23:16 (twelve years ago) link
yeah from evidence of pilot episode, he is not doing much to make his character likable (sp?) or easy to read
― flesh, the devil, and a wolf (wolf) (amateurist), Monday, 30 January 2012 23:32 (twelve years ago) link
like-able?? jesus that word looks wrong no matter how i spell it.
likeable often confounds me as well
― Hungry4Ass, Monday, 30 January 2012 23:35 (twelve years ago) link
second episode pretty great too

Haven't seen the show, but that NYT descrip of "detente" btwn Milch and Mann made me laugh. They must've nearly gouged each other's eyes out.

Written by David Carr (main subject in the documentary Page One), who's very Milch-ian himself.

I don't want to say what it is due to being sort of an episode spoiler?
― polyphonic, Wednesday, 1 February 2012 18:41 (twelve years ago) link
first episode has aired... i think spoilers for it are fair game now?

Okay. It's about horse injuries.

loving John Ortiz on twitter. he seems like a bro. Escalante is the best character.

I'm starting to think that Nolte's character is gonna be this series' Ellsworth. He's even got a pooch as a sidekick.
Second episode definitely better than the first, or maybe I'm just growing into the show more. That birther bit, and that whole scene, really, was hysterical.
