I think it’s incorrect for people to default to “too long” whenever a movie is over three hours, which many definitely do, but I also did feel that The Irishman was a TV miniseries repackaged in movie form.

When a chatbot gets something wrong, it’s not because it made an error. It’s because on that roll of the dice, it happened to string together a group of words that, when read by a human, represents something false. But it was working entirely as designed. It was supposed to make a sentence & it did.

As a Jets fan and UCF alum, watching this coaching matchup feels like time and space have collapsed into a pile of things I’ve been forced to care about.

Pitch: “I won’t let you get scouted, every coach on my staff is an NFL has-been, my girlfriend (who could be your sister) is only slightly less powerful than the AD, and we’re having this conversation by phone because I don’t care enough to recruit. Oh and my failson is coach in waiting.”

As one of many Jets fans who have wanted him for our last several HC openings I must concede that I was wishing a vile curse on a good person who’s fine where he is.
