We signed back up for Netflix to watch the final season of Stranger Things with our kids. I had been wanting to see this movie after watching the awesome trailer. I read a great book last year, probably my favorite of the year, about this exact scenario. It was titled Nuclear War: A Scenario. If you want to see what the ending of this movie was then you should read that book. It is a minute by minute account of what would happen if North Korea fired off rogue nukes at us. I enjoyed this movie until the ending. What a massive cop out. I watched a video where the screenwriter said they didn't want to let the audience off the hook with an ending where they show what happens or who was behind it. It was designed to "start a discussion about living in a world with nuclear weapons". It would've been a lot more effective if they had shown the aftermath. That is how you start a discussion. Show the audience that any nuclear war ends the planet as we know it. The book does a very effective job of that. It shows how bleak it gets if any nukes go off because it never stops at one or two. It was very disappointing after all that build up, they don't give the audience anything. It's not like you're leaving a theater to have a talk in the car on the way home. Instead, you turn off this movie and move on to the next Netflix show or movie to binge. You built all that up with fairly precise scenarios of what would happen if we saw an incoming nuke to then short change the viewer on how horrific it would then become. I don't think any movie studio would allow that ending if this was a theatrical release. This isn't the end of a book like No Country for Old Men. This was a narrative choice by the screenwriter and director and it was a terrible choice.- Citrus Bowl, Dec 31st - Texas vs Michigan.
I find the preseason #1 slam to be pretty dumb. The team didn’t call themselves that. A bunch of dickheads in the media did for reasons that make no sense given starting a brand new QB and a ton of attrition to the NFL. Yet that team bounced back and still could win 10 games. And again the two fan bases trying this both lost to this “embarrassment” of a team by double digits and one was put on the path to getting knocked out in the first round specifically because they lost to this team.- Citrus Bowl, Dec 31st - Texas vs Michigan.

Oregon is one that is intriguing but I'm not sure about the distance and cost. If you don't mind me asking, are they giving anything to help sway him to accept?- This is who Steve Sarkisian is.
Don't worry. If we lose the bowl game, this thread will heat up again.- Pop Tarts Bowl - BYU vs GT

If you can’t enjoy a stupid bowl game that leans fully into the act then college football isn’t for you. They even have pop tarts inspired menu items - A House of Dynamite
