  1. Well, I think No Country for Old Men did what that movie did 40 years ago. I'd also argue that The Good, The Bad and The Ugly was more in line with my original point of altering the black and white narrative of who is good and who is evil to a much greater degree. Particularly, in retrospect over the decades. The US civil war aspects, various races, and lack of clear hero changed the Western movie landscape tremendously. Was Tuco, one of the best "villains" of all time, BTW, really evil? Does The Outlaw Josey Wales exist without The Good, The Bad and The Ugly? Does Unforgiven? I'm not diminishing Lonely are the Brave, but I'd wager pretty heavily tons more people know and lovd the Good, the Bad and the Ugly than Lonely are the Brave.
  2. Enter the Dragon, for sure.
  3. Whoa!!! Have you ever danced with the devil in the pale moonlight? Calm down fussy britches. You will carry me inside you all the days of your life. With great power comes great responsibility. Some mother fuckers are always trying to ice skate uphill.
  4. I watched this for the first time, the first time I ever took LSD in high school. Take a moment and just let that sink in.
  5. Florida State would like a word with you. So would Bama, Josh and Lane.
  6. For me the entire issue starts with a singular aspect, pre-season polls. All polls done thereafter are influenced by it win or loss. #1 close loss on the road to #2 top 10. #8 road loss to unranked, move #8 down to top 20 and unranked into top 20, push out a lower ranked top 25 to make was for FSU. Both the preseason and polls post wins/losses also have massive bias based on brand recognition. The only cure, which wouldn’t remove brand bias, is not releasing any polls until the 6 week of the season. Play shitty teams up front, polls reflected, loose to shitty teams, polls reflected, beat good teams, polls reflected. I don't think it will ever happen but.. it would fix a lot of the issues.
  7. I largely agree with the bulk of your post with the exception of the underlined. Not that I disagree in broad strokes with what you're saying. Rather, I have quickly growing concern that we are seeing some of the same sorts of issues with Arch that we saw with Quinn. I should probably clarify, what I mean is not the same errors. For example, Ewers was good underneath passing and struggled with long ball, whereas the opposite seems to be largely true with Arch. While the broad symptoms are different, the lack of comfort with specific called plays is not, specifically with slow development pass plays. On the flip side, when both players are/were allowed to play in loose, more wide open sort of calls or are forced to improvise they both seem/seemed to flourish wildly and successfully.
  8. We don't know at what point he corrupted the contact. The corrupted contact also clearly had in depth knowledge about the ship, so he could have modified the cyropod himself potentially. There could be thousands of these ships and they were hacking data remotely to determine which had content for pirating. The contact could have been woken up in route in order to accomplish some task. Not everyone was sleeping the entire duration of the 65 years. They could also hack the cyropod remotely to wake the guy up. Also, there are no real Squid Billies, Xenomorphs, or TiLeeWorms in real life. It's an honest point of contention regarding continuity but there are a lot of logical work arounds that the writers chose to forgo. If you choose to refuse suspension of disbelief based on a singular easily debatable continuity item that writers saved us from having to sleep through, and instead shit on a great episode of TV, that's certainly a choice.
  9. Go ahead and provide a single screen shot, just one, where he made that face last year after hitting a WR on a cross in the feet. Hell, I'll do you one better, show me a screenshot when he hit a WR in the feet on a cross, OR made that face after a throw. I'll hang up and listen.
  10. I'm less inclined to call the OL dog shit. They did a good job of pass protection in both games, with a couple of clear bad plays. On rushing, we're getting about 5 ypc between this game on OSU. That's respectable given the opponents and injuries. I lean a lot more toward vanilla ass rushing plan than on the OL. Yes, there's room for improvement, particularly penalties, but that and the shit, no misdirection run game is a huge part as well.
  11. Tell it again?
  12. Zero consistent rhythm, discipline or focus. Fundamentals are lacking in a lot of areas. Little to no motion on rushes. Stop saving them for whoever Sark. This is the second QB in a row who seems to be much better when the offense is allowed to play loose but seems to keep getting restricted with conservative ass play calling. PK and D continues to be a highlight but they too have issues with fundamentals, mostly around penalties. We continue to outright suck in the 3rd. These are concerning.
  13. Picture worth a thousand words and such I find this concerning:
  14. It is in my DNA to always hope ND loses.... Almost... always.
  15. Mostly still waiting for Lane to implode. KY Jelly keeping Ole Klan skeert.
  16. Who could have ever seen this coming? Shocking! "Check him over" = "Put some Tussin' on it"
  17. Fixed that for you PK is the lone bright spot. The rest... man it's painful
  18. Well, clearly, Arch doesn't need any more reps. Good call Sark.
  19. I know Surly loves to hate on the players and there's plenty to talk about, but I see a lot more coaching issues that directly result in many of the player issues.
  20. Cause the DC's don't need to steal reads, they already know?
  21. That and talking misdirection while never fucking using it.
  22. I thought Sark liked misdirection in the running game. I guess I was wrong.
  23. Could have sworn it was Michigan vs Michigan State, but its been a long while since I've watched it.
