Hella Warriors Poetry III

Charlie hella likes Wiggins, Andrew Wiggins. 

He has a Wiggins shirt. He's always like Wiggins hive assemble before every game. If there weren't any droids in the thread I would recommend calling it the Wiggins hive.

He says he's gonna be mvp in the next three years. And they only have gifs of him from the timberwolves. It’s bullshit. 

Wolves are big this week. I saw wolfwalkers. We played the Minnesota timberwolves for the last two games, and I’ve seen some references in other movies I’ve watched this week. I used to wanna live in Minnesota.

I barely watched monday's game against them, but we were honestly just winning the whole time. Last night's was close though, at least for the first half. 

By the end of it, Bazemore, Wiggins, Oubre, and Wiseman had accumulated 45 points. But Curry opened w 0/7 in threes, while the timberwolves were 6/12, when they're not even a 3-point shooting team. More like a 36% 3-point shooting team, Edwards was 8/11, while the warriors were 3/19.

Things sorta stayed this way for Curry until like the last ten seconds of the half when he scored a layup. Then he did something like 19 moves at some point of the latter half before hitting a three over some dude.

But this was Oubre's highest scoring quarter of his entire career w 16, while the highest scoring quarter in the history of the nba is held by Klay Thompson w 37. Still probably Oubre's career best. I wouldn't know. I didn't see cause I left in the fourth to watch ammonite.

Warriors ended up beating them by something like 20 points, so Wiggins got his revenge after all. I actually don't think he cared. I don't think he holds grudges. I mean maybe, but I couldn't see it. 

We have Phoenix tonight. I thought they were supposed to be hella good rn, but they're more like us, actually. We're probably better. We're in 6th place, while they're in 9th. It's still early, but Jazz are number one, and go figure. They beat the shit out of us last Saturday, nearly making a fan outta me. 

I didn't think Chris Paul would care about beating the warriors, but he hella does, actually, probably. Clippers and Warriors used to hella beef when the clippers used to beat them until the warriors turned around and started giving them a taste of their own medicine in a bizarre twist of fate if you know what I mean. 

So tonight should be a little bit interesting bc if Wiseman and Oubre get loose in the paint again it's gonna be nighty night for the clip thangs, I mean phoenix, shit. I don't think I can do this anymore lol. It's just not as inspiring as it once was. But I've already gotten this far, so I'm gonna post it, then we'll see.

Crazy for doing this again when I didn't want to though. But I followed the announcers stats so close I couldn't let this fall at the wayside. Though I don't think they come up w those, like keeping track of every players stats individually. I think someone else is feeding em. They're hella busy chatting it up.

Hella funny though, talking about Wiggins' smile at some point.

Love them.

Hella trying to come up w a ranking order for the last 22 movies I saw I guess I

Two more hrs until this embarrassing story goes away that my crush didn’t even see. 

There’s nothing wrong w it. I’m just being critical of myself, and sometimes I don’t really have anything to say about these movies I’ve been watching. I just wanna post pictures of them, and be done w it, which I could do. 

But I’m hella committed to consistency, and I’ve been saying something marginal for every one. I could also keep a list of them to myself to keep track of everything I’ve seen. If you kept it in the right place it would be easier than keeping it in stories where you have to click into highlights to go over them, but Idk where the right place is, and I’ve been doing it this way for like the last few weeks. 

I was actually gonna do two things for that maybe; one would be doing something for me, and the other would be doing one of two things for the blog. 

The first is actually listing all the movies I’ve seen in the last few weeks here. The second could be done in the first by simultaneously making a note of the ones I either I had to pay, or start a seven day trial for. 

Then maybe go over every one of either my favorites, or the ones I had to pay, or start a seven day trial for, or do all those things at the same time, which is, or looks like what I’m kinda getting into now. 

Movie reviews feel so contrived to me though, especially ones done in an alternative way. I’ve done both, and they actually all look good in hindsight, but when you know what you’re doing as you’re doing it, it just becomes hella labor intensive, just for Idk, how self aware it is. 

Like that’s the hardest time I have w anything here mostly, the things I become all too self aware of, or the things that become all too aware of itself, but I think maybe I should do it if I’m already this far. 

One sec, lms how many there are. I’m back and forth between stories and this, so I’m just gonna list them first: 

Shirley (Hulu)
Bloody nose, empty pockets (amazon prime purchase .99)
The vast of night (amazon prime)
Bacurau (amazon prime purchase 4.99)
Little joe (Hulu)
First cow (showtime trial)
Another round (amazon prime purchase 6.99)
The devil all the time (netflix)
The nest (amazon prime purchase 4.99)
Never rarely sometimes always (hbomax)
Sound of metal (amazon prime)
Wolfwalkers (apple tv trial)
Young Ahmed (amazon prime purchase 4.99)
Invisible man (hbomax)
Time (amazon prime orig)
One night in Miami (amazon prime)
Fourteen (amazon prime purchase 4.99)
His house (netflix)
Sorry we missed you (amazon prime purchase 4.99)
She dies tomorrow (Hulu)
The possessor (amazon prime purchase 1.99)
The painter and the thief (Hulu)

Takeaways:

That was hard, making that list, and I don’t think the rental prices are accurate. 

But if they are I spent 40.00 in the last few weeks on amazon prime rentals, so I guess it’s good that I’m finding some way like this to commemorate it, but hold up. 

I hella wanna see if these prices are accurate. I gotta check my email for the receipts. No way possessor or what’s it called, Bloody nose empty pockets cost that much. 

What else are they saying? Young Ahmed - yup, I knew it. They hella raised their prices, or something. 

I’m glad I’m doing this for that reason. Bloody nose empty pockets was .99 to rent, Possessor was 1.99, and another round was actually 6.99. 

So I rented eight movies, and w these adjustments in price it costed less than 40.00 I think, or the same, no, Idk, one sec: 

5*5=25+10=35.00

So I’ve spent 35.00 on amazon rentals in the last few weeks: 

6.99 for another round was too much. A group of teachers trying to keep their bac at .05, it was good. Don’t get me wrong, but the whole time I was like I can’t believe I paid 7 for this, especially for the theme. I mean it slaps, but it’s hella stupid. 

.99 for bloody nose empty pockets was perfect for that price. I said in stories remember when Nathan fielder in Nathan for you filmed a nonsmoking bar to bypass the nonsmoking rule. Well this is exactly that. Only it’s not for that reason. They can smoke, it’s just the dives last day. I liked it, and I almost recommend, but only as long as you’re not paying, and if you have to don’t pay anymore than I did. 

1.99 was almost like underpaying for the possessor, but I’m not complaining. That shit was hella crazy, and I highly recommend even for the price it is now. An assassin takes the form of her bounty's acquaintances to make her kills, hell, I would pay 6, or 7 for it tbh. 

4.99 for each, Fourteen, and sorry we missed you is hella worth it if you wanna cry. 

Same for the nest honestly almost for the same reason, but more so cause it’s just hella crazy, period. 

4.99 for young Ahmed is too much. It's about a radical muslim that tries to kill his teacher. What’s happening in it is powerful, and the performance is somewhat, but it just wasn't enough to really move me to anything really. You could feel differently though, Idk what a better price would be, but 4.99 is too much. Same goes for bacurau, but then Idk if I’m giving any of this real thought though tbh 

I think I just hella liked what I liked, and the rest was more sorta like eh 

Like bacurau is hella tight, so was young Ahmed, but idk about 4.99 for each. You could almost easily put the nest, and another round in the same tier. So those four fall under that, five actually w bloody nose empty pockets. 

Then the remaining top tier would be fourteen, sorry we missed you, and friggin the possessor. 

But then how would you rank the former five from best to worst, like this? And this is almost losing track of everything I said so far. What’s at the fuckong top of this list? I blanked: 

The nest 
Bacurau
Another round 
Young Ahmed 
Bloody nose empty pockets 

And the middle three are just like hella interchangeable, like they’re not really all that much better, or worse than each other. Same list w the top tier entries included would be like:

Fourteen
Sorry we missed you
The possessor
The nest 
Bacurau
Another round 
Young Ahmed 
Bloody nose empty pockets 

The top three, except for possessor are interchangeable, but only w each other, and the point is all of them were good. So I would recommend looking into all of them if you at least don’t wanna pay the amount you see. They’re all worth watching. 

Damn, when did I start this shit? It’s been over an hr, and I haven’t even gotten into trial subs, Netflix, Hulu, and hbomax. 

It’ll be hella easy (it wasn't): 

First cow alone is a good reason to start a trial sub to showtime for. 

Wolfwalkers is too for Apple TV, but I would definitely look around for more content before ending it, or just have more in mind period before starting it, bc it’s really just a good animated feature for kids I guess. 

I think I have to just make a ranking list of all the free streaming content I saw going from best to worst, rather than going over every last one personally. This is hella hard within the confines of an email draft. I know there’s twelve left, the clock is ticking: 

Never rarely sometimes always (hbomax)
Sound of metal (amazon prime)
The devil all the time (netflix)
His house (netflix)
She dies tomorrow (Hulu)
Time (Amazon prime)
The painter and the thief (Hulu)
The vast of night (amazon prime)
One night in Miami (amazon prime)
Little joe (Hulu)
Invisible man (Hbomax)
Shirley (Hulu)

My top five hella checks out. Every one of the next five, except for time and little joe are interchangeable. Then I’m sticking w the last two

I think a solid conclusion would be to come up w just a ranking list of all of them, just cause I could hella see the top five up there in the mix w the top tier rentals, and seven day trial subs. 

But damn, that would take hella work i think, and I still have to watch kajillionaire (AP rental 5.99), Ammonite (AP rental 5.99), Vitalina varela (AP rental 3.99), and the assistant (Hulu or AP rental 3.99).

Damn, I should’ve waited till I watched those to start this. Until then, I would say this is tbc. It's been over two hrs since I started this, and the movie posts I made to stories are long gone by now.

Hella Warriors Poetry II

There was a lot of yelling on the spurs end, a lot of struggle.

You could hear em throughout. 

Lee didn't have a good game. He missed about every three, and got ejected in the fourth quarter for unsportsman like conduct, jk. It was like a flagrant foul, or some shit. He hit someone in the head, almost fucked up the vibe completely. 

Everyone was just looking at him like wth, sit down.

We hella surprised the spurs last night though, hella caught em off guard. 

We hella could've done that to the pacers last week too, nuggets, every team we lost to by around ten.

It was also just hella coo of them to win on both days of the inauguration and mlk.

I was telling robert i feel like going back on what I said yesterday about green coaching wiseman, bc last night hella told me exactly what they were talking about. 

20 points, 6 rebounds, and 4 assists, I think wiseman got addicted to lobs. Once he hit one he was hooked, and he was looking for it every time. And they were looking for him too. Everyone was just hella looking for each other, and going in. It was hella funny.

Robert was saying we've never had a good center before, so this is just hella crazy.

It was like when the warriors used to blow teams out by like a million, meets the we believe movement, which they were hella commemorating, and i hella don't want them to go back to, but I also don’t wanna say they’re the former championship team yet either, bc that’s just like hella celebrating before the win, way too soon.

I’ll barely acknowledge a leading score until we’re down to the last twenty seconds. 

I was thinking today like you actually might not have to talk to anyone about last night this time at all, bc you were talking to everyone last night in the thread during the game. 

Last nights also just hella easy to talk about, like too easy. A more difficult task would be a conversation about the nets, bc i keep barely watching their games

I think it's just hella funny how i can barely watch other teams, bc i don't care. I don't have any stake in it, at least until the playoffs.

All i saw last night was harden throwing it out of bounds. Like i kept looking up to him doing that every time, choice move.

Kyries hella nice too, like a nice person. He hella shook hands w every one of the Cavs afterwards, no problem.

I was thinking I’ll just write one of these poems for every warriors win, but we’ll see. That could get hella crazy, and out of hand. So I'll just say for now I don’t think I’m gonna write tomorrow regardless of what happens. 

Watch me go back on that though. 

I’m going hella Tim Robbins in the Shawshank redemption on the warriors rn.

Hella Warriors Poetry

They got the spurs tonight. 

They're gonna try to win that one. I wouldn't hold my breath though. I know better. 

They've fooled me before. They fool their selves. They're fools.

We got the jazz on saturday. I know the schedule better out here than i did back home in CA.

The jazz are gonna be tough. They're gonna be like the nuggets. They're like the same team to me. They always look the same. They're always in the same spots.

Are they close geographically? They're both, naw. I was gonna say they're both midwest, but they're not. I think they're just neighboring states

This warriors thread i'm in w a group of guys from palo alto makes me feel hella obligated to the nets.

I barely watched the last game and kyrie's debut is tonight. Idrk where he's been. Seems like he's been hella fucking around. Him and harden and now they're on the same team w kd. If they could pull it together they might make the championship everyone's saying. I don't believe it though.

My friend robert says if they go against the lakers we're gonna have to go w them 

It was hella good to see the warriors beat the lakers on monday though. That was so fucking sick. I love beating lebron james. I love when he doesn't get his way. You could hella tell curry wasn't expecting it either. Like he was getting away w murder. 

Beating the lakers at this point of his career w this new team. James is also like four years older than him and he hates the warriors.  Notice he didn't stick around to shake hands w anyone afterwards. If it wasn't for them he would've been getting rings for the last ten years.

After the postgame interview w reggie miller i looked at robert and said he handled that well bc miller hella went in on him for missing that layup within the last twenty seconds. Curry hella knew that was bad too bc he knew if it weren't for that three he shot over fucking ad and that missed open look from james in the last second they would've lost, so in a way, by all rights they should've. On those technicalities alone, they shouldn't have won that game, but they did, and it was hella tight, and the warriors are hella funny for doing that.

I keep thinking about when draymond was coaching wiseman during those free throws too bc everyone's hella talking about it like it was hella tight. Everyone hella liked it. At first i was thinking he was probably thinking like i don't like this; being coached and yelled at in front of everyone like this. Like he's hella close to me and sweatier than i am but he's also older and a lot more experienced in this game than me, so i just have to accept it for what it is. This is just what point of my career i'm at right now and it's pretty tight so i gotta accept that. 

In all reality though he probably wasn't even listening. Like all that was way over his head. He was just hella into the game.

I hope tonight goes well. Idk if I'm gonna do this all the time but that would be tight if I could.
