Re: [Movies] Tenet- SPOILERS
I don’t know the answer to any of those and that’s why I want to watch it a second time. I felt like Ariadne was a minor character at the same level as the rest of the “team.” (Who were all men.) I think Mal’s character was probably the worst example of this- an object solely to motivate Cobb. And I...

"Must See" Directors
What directors do you like so much that you've seen all their work and you'll see everything they do in the future? For me: Quentin Tarantino Christopher Nolan Denis Villeneuve (although I haven't seen Incendies, it's in my queue to rent) Chan Wook Park (there's only a couple of movies I've not seen...

Re: [Movies] Tenet- SPOILERS
I want to point out that I love Nolan. I really do. Other than Tarantino and only a couple of other directors- he's one of my "must watch" directors where I've seen everything he's done and will see everything he does in the future. That said, I do struggle with two things about him- women...

I believe that we'll wake up tomorrow and everything will be under control, but people need to look hard at this. This is how we lose democracies. How we react to this is important to preserving our democracy.

Re: Election Polling Mea Culpas
But now the polling for the Georgia run-offs was pretty much dead on. This means that pollsters all have an out by saying that it's just Trump being on the ballot that throws things so out of whack... back to business as usual. And there is maybe some validity there, but it is far from all of the s...
Re: Trump
None of these things are going to happen legislatively. With a 50/50 split, there's no way they're packing the Court. Maybe the voting rights act. But I'm not even convinced they'll pass more stimulus.

Re: [Movies] Tenet- SPOILERS
Agreed. I enjoyed the movie, but found I was just too in my head the whole time. So I didn't dislike it, but it was work to enjoy- for me. I also agree that Nolan intends this to be the end of it- he's a movie maker. But it's such a rich concept. I've been a huge fan of Pattinson since Good Time. An...

I found myself being taken out of the movie for much of it, trying to think through the consequences of what they were saying. So I don’t think it worked as a movie. I think this wou...

Re: Live the Kyle Way™
When buying tires, do it online and prepay for the tires you want (preferably the cheaper variety). That way when you get to the tire shop, they don't bother trying to upsell you on anything because you've already paid. That's the Kyle Way™.

Always be mindful that someone's religious or non-religious beliefs are just that: beliefs. It doesn't make you superior to someone else that you like grape jelly on your sandwich and they prefer strawberry. The same is true of religion. That's the Kyle Way™.

Re: Live the Kyle Way™
Remember that if someone didn't seek out your advice, you won't change their minds about something by giving it. That's not to say you shouldn't, but you should be honest with yourself about why you're giving it. If it's for selfish or resentful reasons, then don't give it. That's the Kyle Way™.
