    Don got a reaction from Redondo in What have you watched recently? (Please use the hide function for spoilers or plot lines)   
    Decided to watch Eastern Promises in honor of @Brandon. Definitely a well-made movie with a ton of style, good plot line, and an awesome Viggo Mortensen performance. That said, I was kinda shocked when it ended. I didn’t look at the movie runtime before watching it (roughly 100 minutes), and the end of the movie kinda felt like the end of act two to me. This movie easily could’ve had another 30-45 minutes of awesomeness. Maybe a sequel some day?

    You just know that Giolito is gonna throw a 3-hit shutout for the Brewers or someone in the playoffs.

    With all their injuries to their rotation, the Rays make sense as a destination....and they'll probably get him putting up a mid 2 ERA too I bet.

    It wasn’t revelatory or anything, but it was a really well-done movie with good writing and acting, and excellent cinematography. Well worth seeing in the theater.

    It’s a rough couple of weeks here for everyone at AW. This was a really shitty one to hear about. I saw the thread a few days ago, but it was tough to put the emotional energy into writing something thoughtful. Happens when things keep coming at you like that. I generally call it “grief fatigue”, which I’m sure a lot of you have experienced before and are currently going through with the loss of @Lou and @Brandon
    All that said, I’ll remember Brandon fondly. I’ve been interacting with him since 2008-ish, though we’ve never actually met in person. Seemed like we had similar senses of humor and shared a lot of opinions about various things. It was also nice having a fellow dude with some KC connections on the board to chat with. Basically, though we never met, I always considered him a friend. Someone I could count on to respond when I asked some random ass life question, or had some sort of hot take on a movie, show, comedian, etc… This place always felt like a better hang in general whenever he was active. I don’t know what happened to him, and I suppose it’s none of my business really. I just hope he had the time to say goodbye to those he needed to, and that his candle burned out the same way he lived… bright as fuck to the end.
