  1. Oscar (1991).

    I think it bombed because the typical Stallone movie-goer of the early 1990s was expecting an action shoot-em-up, not a screwball comedy.

    And also, this is a terrible, terrible trailer:

    ...because, among other things, THIS ISN'T THE PLOT OF THE MOVIE AT ALL.

    The actual plot is: Gangster Angelo "Snaps" Provolone promises his dying father that he will give up a life of crime, and instead "go straight." And then... well... misunderstandings occur.

    It's not directed or written wonderfully, but the incredible cast carries the film.

    Big 12 Network was pre-Bowlsby.

    I think everyone agrees Beebe sucked.  But again, I don't think he could have kept Nebraska.  Nebraska had to want to work things out and they didn't.  Which is why I'll always hate them the most.

    They really shot themselves in the foot with that move, though. They got all the downsides of being in the B1G without the biggest benefit.

    And they did it all for spite. Just couldn't stand to lose to us again...

  3. So, that pretty good but not earth shattering song hit #1 on the "active rock" charts this week.

    The whole album's out, and I've had it in pretty heavy rotation. On the one hand, a lot is like this song, extremely well-executed stuff you've heard before. But then he'll throw in a little lick, and he'll do that lick on three different instruments at once, and you're like, "Whoa." Guitar solos are rare... they're good. Not Ed good, but hey, I wanna hear that again.

    Very catchy, sing-along-able stuff.

    And then there's "Stone." Pass the doobie; that's the shit. I don't even know what that is, but I like it.

    Have any of y'all heard it?

    Is the committees report going to have to be made public/published widely for this to go away?

    It's already public. But you have to, you know, read it.

    And comprehend.

    And grasp that this wasn't a bunch of white folks trying to justify things after the fact, or Uncle Toms pushing an agenda.

    That would require effort and for them to let go of their illogical victimhood which is their identity.

    They have zero interest in facts and truths. 

    I don't think either of these assessments are accurate or fair. They were brainwashed by others who had an agenda. Reserve your hatred for those.
