Drunk driver in Texas is in a bit of trouble...


"Just so lucky it happened to be my thigh, and I think the bike kind of elevated the car a little bit," Geppert said. "Just overall amazingly lucky that I'm still alive."
Some of the witnesses told police they followed Hylander to the nearest gas station, where they were able to get his license plate and demanded he return to the scene of the crash.
According to incident records, after returning to the scene, Hylander ran up hysterically shouting, "I'm sorry," while trying to talk to the injured cyclist.
Police state that Hylander continued to apologize to the injured cyclist, and when he began speaking to police, they said they noticed an odor of alcohol on his breath and that he had glassy, bloodshot eyes.
When asked if he had been drinking, Hylander at first allegedly told officers he only had one beer an hour before getting behind the wheel but later admitted to not remembering how many he consumed, "maybe two or three large beers."

Just ate at Maverick's for the first time. OMG, that is a good Roast Beef sandwich!
 
Mods... I love you and I apologize in advance. Delete if you need to. I just want to say to our non US friends... we agree. We are embarrassed

Has anyone been to the new Deadpool movie? Is it a must see at the theater or is it one I can wait to watch at home and not really miss anything?

I feel like there are very few movies that are must see at the theater with today's TV tech. Other than super epic stuff like Dune, I'd much rather watch on my couch. He'll, even Costners new western. I'm excited to see it, but I'm not going to the theater (I hope that doesn't result in not getting the full trilogy). Probably the reason that box office numbers (Deadpool not included) have been down. Movie studios probably need to pivot on how they deem things a success.
 
I'm rewatching Game of Thrones. So damn good (up until the ending anyways). Will watch House of Dragons after, any opinions?

Don't get me wrong, today's TV tech is amazing, I have a 77" oled and a uhd blue ray player (far superior to streaming due to lack of compression that streaming uses), you still can't beat that big screen experience you get at the theater.

I love me those $5 Tuesdays at the theater!

I enjoy the theater experience. There just hasn't been many movies I've wanted to see lately.

The cheap Tuesdays are when I go. If I'm by myself I'll stop at Sam's and grab a couple of hotdogs. Eat one before the show and save the other for after. It ends up being cheaper than a combo meal at any of the fast food joints.

I feel like the old man screaming at the clouds for saying this, but I'm completely bored with all these comic book character movies. Seems to me like nothing more than an easy and lazy money grab by Hollywood....good for them, I guess, because they do bring in the money...but they just aren't for me.
