this show is very good. yeah there's a lot of dialogue and it slows at points, but it's still...melodic or something. mesmerizing. really well-written. and fuck if some of the priest's dialogue doesnt move me a little.
beautifully shot, too. sufficiently creepy. reminds me a bit Hannibal in mood and style, and 'Salem's Lot in plot obviously. i dig it.

It's not the same. It's worse. That 70's Show started in 1998 and took place in 1976. 22 years. The equivalent would be a "That 2000's Show" that starts in the year 2000 since the new show won't debut until 2022.
Same with this new Wonder Years reboot. The original was exactly 20 years apart -- 1988 and 1968. This new one would have taken place in 2001 if it were the same.

i wanted to like it so bad but was pretty disappointed. kinda fun seeing young versions of the characters, but i just kept waiting for something, anything to happen really. i guess finding out who killed Dickie was supposed to be a shocker, but anybody that watched the series could see it coming based on young Junior's reaction to Dickie those few times - it seemed obvious for those of us that know Junior. the 'climax' of the funeral and the pinky swear just fell flat.
on the flipside, i thought the actor playing Dickie was pretty good. but my gosh on the timeline, all the build-up and focus on Michael Gandolfini and he was honestly barely in the movie!
definitely just felt like filler for a prequel series.
OH...one thing they did do was relate Dickie's temper to Christopher, how much he flew off the handle and over-reacted. the strangling of his goomar was definitely reminiscent of Chrissy (almost) strangling Adrianna.

i mean yeah ok it's loud, but it just doesn't seem particularly intimidating. hell tech and baylor used to roll in there and win with some regularity, not to mention us and bama.
i almost think the unison of their 'yells' works against them in that everybody is making the same uniform noise rather than the chaotic cacophony you get elsewhere.
almost like they're too practiced.

“It was October 2, 2021. The Ags were playing with their fourth string QB - playing fourth string walk ons with debilitating side effects from Covid at every position, in fact, as all the able-bodied males at Texas A&M were called to duty in Afghanistan to bail out General Patton and Joe Biden in the fight against the Taliban.
Our opponent was Mississippi State, easily the best college football team in the country, and widely reported to have been using gene therapy and PEDs to mutate their players into superhumans. And, of course, they had their entire starting lineup of mutant abominations against God playing in the game instead of helping us in the fight in Afghanistan, because Mississippi State is and always has been an anti-American radical left wing institution that burns the flag and hates our troops. They were led at the time by a known Communist sympathizer named Mike Leach who had been expelled from Texas Tech for sedition.
The oddsmakers favored Mississippi State to win by 60. But our boys fought hard, just like they’ve always done whether it was singlehandedly winning the Battle of the Bulge or Johnny Manziel beating Duke in The Bowl. In an exceedingly rare moment when the spirit of aggyland and the most supportive fans in the world began to waver at Kyle Field against these insurmountable odds, the crowd looked for inspiration. And that’s when The Bird appeared. Cawing with the ferocity of a lion, flying with the majesty of a bald eagle, legend has it The Bird spread its wings so far they touched each goalpost. When we looked up at The Bird, flying high above the stadium, it looked as though The Bird was gleaming with fire like the Phoenix risen from the ashes. Some skeptics say it was just a reflection of the sunset, but if you were there you knew if meant God himself had sent The Bird to smite the evildoers at Mississippi State and show the world once again that Aggies are His favored children. And that is exactly what He showed them all, by sending The Bird to help us lose … but in a close game.
Every Ag in attendance - all vulnerable women and children because, again, the men were all at war saving Uncle Sam - they all left the stadium that day with their heads held high, and with courage in their hearts, knowing that The Bird was there to watch over them and protect them from the godless sodomites at Mississippi State who only narrowly bested them that day. Even the Mississippi State fans in attendance, primarily murderers and rapists who usually terrorized and pillaged the towns they visited after a win, even they were so moved by what they had witnessed that they simply thanked the Aggies for being such great hosts and then helped safeguard the women and children to their cars.
And that, kids, is why we have the tradition at Texas A&M of never cleaning grackle shit off of any surface anywhere on the campus. It may be an eyesore to the uninitiated, but now that you know the story behind it, I’m sure you’ll agree it’s a powerful and quite appropriate statement about this institution. Just try not to ever breathe or sit down when you’re walking between buildings.”

2 hours ago, Francisco 2.0 said:50 years from now, the legend will be the bird showed up during some other game and "willed" aggy to a win.
Then the bird will be immortalized as a sticker on the back of their helmets, etc.
They are aggy. They invent traditions on the fly, because that's their way.
...and Randolph Duke's grandson will write 3 page screeds with screenshots and audio links explaining the REAL origin of The Grackle 'tradition'.
