  1. This. I really like a lot about it but that scene is so stupid it pretty much eliminates it from any “best of” lists for me.
  2. They complement each other perfectly IMO. Blue will likely make more splash plays and fans will probably be bitching for him to get more carries, but he wouldn’t be as effective without Baxter
  3. This is right. Anyone who burns any calories hating SAS (or Skip Bayles) are falling for the obvious three card monte game they are playing. Find them entertaining or ignore them, but raging against them means you fell for it.
  4. Q is sort of weird. It feels like his personality and energy completely changes from scene to scene
  5. Being ranked as a top 20 prospect by recruiting services and being an excellent hs football player aren’t always the same thing. Saban/bama saw his potential and thought they could get him there. They didn’t
  6. Except seeing a column for “2030 Seniors” gave me a full on existential crisis, but I guess that’s my problem.
  7. I may have missed a scene, but why did Jeff have an eye patch at the end?
  8. Yeah, unless we play a triple option team next season he shouldn’t see the field at 261. Goosby at 313 seems like a positive development. Pretty sure he was well under 3 bills in HS, and weight and strength were his main question marks.
  9. Absolutely devastating stuff from Dylan Holt. I hope we can find a portal qb next season, there is no coming back from this.
  10. Yeah, even taking out bias for UT players, without even considering Vince there are probably 5 guys that are easily over him and more that have good arguments. I’m not positive he’s even the best Sooner qb, I think I would put Bradford over him. Putting UT player bias back in, Colt is closer to Mayfield than Baker is to VY.
  11. Say it to his face!
  12. Maybe “important” is overused when it comes to some art, but using the Beatles as your example for this doesn’t really help your point. They actually did change society on a macro level. There is an entire Wikipedia page dedicated solely to their cultural impact. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cultural_impact_of_the_Beatles I think you are underestimating how linked popular culture is to capitalism, politics, and pretty everything else that you think of as “important”.
  13. The moody “Twist and Shout” needle drop was one of the more embarrassing tv moments I can remember
  14. Maybe I’m missing the Deadpool level of irony here, but are you really holding up the star of Red Notice, Free Guy, and the Hitman’s Bodyguard as a pillar of artistic integrity? This looks good, especially compared to the recent run of superhero movies, but Reynolds is the king of empty money grabs.
  15. Walk Hard basically buried this type of biopic forever.
  16. Seems like you do get it
  17. In case we want to put a little distance from whatever the fuck is happening here: The Deboer era is off to a rocky start
  18. I’m curious about what Milwee’s career path looks like from here. If Sark continues to have success you’d think he’d eventually be a commodity as a protege, but I’ve never heard his name come up for any jobs. He has a pretty great gig as is, Co-OC title and QB coach and he’s not exactly as young as I thought he was (38). His role doesn’t really give him the chance to prove himself as a P5 play caller or group of 5 head coach though. If he has aspirations for that, maybe eventually he has to take a step down and take a group of five OC gig to get some experience outside of being Sark’s right hand man.
  19. Futureman is worthless because everything he posts is a bit that seems to be for the entertainment of only himself. Helobious seems sincere in his posts, just with an incredible rate of being wrong almost 100% of the time. So I think there is some value in reading those posts to check yourself if your takes ever align. Case in point.
  20. The five, err, six posters you meet in heaven. Mediocre joke brought to you by a drive by quipper
  21. Funny, I tend to agree about Gangs of New York but see KOTFM completely differently. Generally thought the cast and performances were great (aside from whatever Brendon Fraser was doing) and the pacing wasn’t a problem. I felt the 3.5 hrs, but not in a bad way if that makes sense. More so, I really push back that it was a poorly directed movie when there are a few sequences that were so well done and memorable that only a handful of people could have pulled them off. Specifically the ending, which was incredible. I don’t know if anyone else alive could have made it work.
  22. White hot take here. What makes you say it was poorly directed?
  23. This is no joke. During the pandemic, my wife and I were going through my (still living) father-in-law’s vhs collection because she wanted to digitize old family movies. I learned way more about his porn preferences that day than I expected.
