    Hereditary and Midsommar were both great and pretty unsettling.  The kind of movies that stick with you long after it's over.

    My favorite horror movie of the past decade is still probably:

    Midsommar fell flat for me, but probably because my expectations were too high after watching Hereditary. It Follows is my second favorite horror movie of the past 5 years. Pretty unsettling leaving the theater after watching that one...

  2. Hereditary is my favorite horror movie of the past several years, but it's a slow burn. It's not a crowd-pleasing movie night kind of movie like Scream or Drag Me to Hell. It's got a great 70's era feel, Toni Collette is incredible, and the build-up to the last scene is terrifying -- lights off, sound up. The final scene is a bit of a let down, but the rest of the movie is so good that it doesn't really detract.

    Haven't seen Rec listed yet -- my favorite found footage movie with an awesome payoff at the end.

  3. We lost by one score each to the two most prolific offenses in college football. As shitty as we played, we held ou to their fewest points and yards this season, and held LSU to their second-lowest. Both of those teams are really fucking good this year -- front and center in the playoff and Heisman conversations. We are down several guys due to injury. Plus this game is played by 20-year olds who's motivation and effort often changes by the words of their "fat little girlfriends" and the press clippings they read. 

    Anyone talking playoffs is dumber than a sack of hammers, but I think we have a really good shot at running the table and beating ou in the championship game. It will be interesting to see how Herman responds and keeps his players hungry. That will be his hardest coaching challenge to date.

    Is that big yellow section in the lower bowl between the 5 and 45 the LSU band? No wonder the swamprat ags were so upset with us putting their band in the  upper deck.

    It's piss

    umm... the visual scale is provided by the +/- 6ft surfer.

    I was thinking the same thing. 6 foot surfer, "generic" 60+ foot wave. 

    The reason so many of those big wave vids seem a little ho-hum is because the surfers are so damn good they make it look easy. The reality is just the opposite, of course. Sliding straight down a moving 6-story avalanche on an 8-foot piece of foam and fiberglass is rarely going to end well. 

  6. Amon Amarth with Arch Enemy supporting is a great tour. A few of AA's best songs from the latest release but mostly a trip through the highlights of the past 15 years.  Each time I see them it's a bigger venue, and they seem totally comfortable and in their element right now. Great set list, Johann is a badass front man, and some fun stage spectacle from time to time (sword fighting, dragons, etc). Aside from one guy that got absolutely annihilated in a random pit (so much blood), the crowd was having a blast and totally into the show.
