I see 821 giving out likes to erryone like Halloween candy

He kinda reminds me of that poster that posted all the time and gave likes to just about every post he read. He was the one that gave us the terrible news about SaS. He was the one that his wife left him with (5?) children and was going through a tough time, but he met a new woman and quit posting after that and the SaS news. Seemed like a good kid (shut up morans, you all seem like kids to me or maybe it’s the way you act ). He seemed like a good kid and I hope he shows up again. 821 seems to be a goodun.

Yep, I agree. The Last of the Mohicans is my favorite Daniel Day Lewis movie but in Gangs of NY, he became Bill the Butcher. I thought that was his best acting performance of his career.

*Both movies are in my top 10.

Last of the Mohicans is outstanding. Better than Gangs imo.

Bill the Butcher is a better performance than Hawkeye from Lewis, though.

My mother was seeing this movie in the theaters when she went into labor with me

Gangs of New York is such a great film.

Bill the Butcher is one of Daniel Day Lewis’ greatest roles imo.

SO

We are talking DDL?

His most fun performance is Bill the Butcher

His best IS unequivocally, Daniel Plainview in There Will Be Blood. It's proooobably the best acting performance everrrrr. Him as a upper class british/irish (dad irish poet) man, pulling off this WHALE of a human being in Daniel Plainview, is just astounding to me. To put his entire soul into that role, whilst adopting that obscure dialect and the ferociously obtuse cunning of that ol oil barron. He's a dang genius at acting.

A picture was taken of them holding hands. They are acting like it was nothing. I Just can’t tell you how many times I’ve had to explain the same thing to my wife.

Like how you've been caught MULTIPLE times, holding Mike Vrabel's hands in Sonoma?

I’ll submit his role as Gerry Conlan in In the Name of the Father. Different feel, but powerful, and quintessential DDL imo.

He has a new film out with Sean Bean and apparently it's not very good....I'm afraid to watch and be disappointed.

I agree.... he was awesome in There Will be Blood. I thought he had some bleedover from his Bill the Butcher character, particularly in the bowling alley scene.

watching Gangs now

I'm watching Bob Ross

That movie overall is underrated I feel like. The way they built the sets and give you a feel for the time. Not many movies do it better.

Does Sean attempt to steal the Declaration of Independence?

DDL son’s directorial debut. It’s a disjointed mess and not even remotely a good movie (poor nepo baby…)

But DDL is, as always, excellent and salvages a nice turn regardless

Best DDL for me is there will be blood (by far his best performance and a top 5 all time performance by any actor ever imo) closely followed by phantom thread. But you cannot go wrong on a single performance. Even the bad ones are great

I was his acting coach in both of those

 

[feathersax]

Gangs of New York is such a great film.

Bill the Butcher is one of Daniel Day Lewis’ greatest roles imo.

DDL was marvelous in both "Gangs" & "Mohicans". Enjoyed both movies; for me, one of the most disappointing movies ever was "Lincoln", which had a superb cast....but the script & pace of the movie was so tedious that I couldn't watch (even after 2-3 attempts).

 

[mr.checkerboards]

Can someone explain to me why it's a scandal that vrabel and some espn reporter are dating? I don't want to Google it because I don't want celebrity gossip to overtake my algorithm.

Shes sleeping with him to get info.

Thank you ma'am.

Allan had zero help at Tennessee unless you count Lang Wiseman.

The diamond Vols' season hinges on consistent hitting, relievers commanding the zone, and Josh pulling strings at the right time with both. Having Stone back in the lineup is really important. He and Morris are good with the pitchers and Stone adds some O.

 

[SugarCC]

I don’t know. He is great in every movie. There will be blood is one of my all time favorites of his.

Along with Dr Strangelove, There Will Be Blood is my favorite movie of all time; but, the greatest Daniel Day Lewis performance is, by far, My Left Foot.

Scripture — Psalm 34:8 (NIV)
“Taste and see that the Lord is good; blessed is the one who takes refuge in him.”

Reflection
The wording here is an invitation to experience.
Most of us spend a good deal of life evaluating things from a distance—thinking through outcomes, weighing risks, trying to understand before we trust. But this verse moves in the opposite direction. It suggests that some truths about God are not fully grasped by analysis alone. They are known by stepping in.

“Taste” implies participation. “See” implies clarity that follows. In other words, understanding comes after trust, not always before it.

And then there is the word refuge. Not a concept, but a place. A covering. Something you move toward when conditions aren’t steady.

This verse does not promise a life free from difficulty. It quietly assumes the need for refuge. But it anchors something deeper: that God’s goodness is not fragile, not situational. It holds—even when circumstances don’t.

So the invitation is simple, but not shallow:
Draw near. Try it. Trust Him in something real, not hypothetical. And from that place, begin to see.

Prayer
Lord, You invite me not just to understand You, but to experience You. Help me move beyond hesitation and step into trust where I’ve been holding back. When I’m tempted to stay distant or rely only on what I can control, draw me closer. Be my refuge in the places that feel uncertain, and let me come to know Your goodness not just in thought, but in reality. Amen.
