  1. Speaking of Chris Martin's attire. I think way too many people there decided to try and out weird each other with their wardrobe choices.
     
    Shania looked like the Wendy's logo or an anime character.   Sam Smith's dress was, uh interesting.   And of course Harry Styles was Harry.

    My Facebook was full of “Satanic Sam Smith” posts this morning. Man I love having country relatives.
  2. Sing Street about an 80's Dublin kid that forms a band to get a pretty girl to notice him. Leaving on Jan 31st. It is a good little movie.

    Wait. There are people that haven’t seen Sing Street? This was huge with my kids and their friends 4-5 years ago. Definitely see this movie if you haven’t, especially if you like 80s music. Great for all ages.
  3. For some reason I have a subscription to the Paramount app. Oh yeah, so I can watch Cheers uninterrupted for 2-3 hours every night.

    Started from episode 1 a couple weeks ago and last night I was at the episode where Norm is the interior decorator. Loved the ending where he thinks they are going to give him a hard time and they just want a discount on furniture. So good.

    Lilith was killing it in Season 8. Sam isn’t a big fan of her driving.

  4. Krampus last night. I’m not even sure how to describe how I feel about this movie.

    This is the one Christmas movie we make a point to watch every year. We love it. Would be interesting to get your take on the end - everyone seems to have a different take.
  5. Damn, we just watched a 60 minutes Australia on that White Island explosion.

    When it started I was like stupid dumbass white people doing dumb things and then after I was like they got fucked pretty bad where 3 entities coulda prevented that at any time

    The level of suck those people went through is hard (impossible) to comprehend.
  6. This is probably a good "unpopular opinion" as well, but Home Alone has NOT aged well.
    Tried to watch this the other day with the family and for being PG, it didn't feel very family friendly. And I'm not talking about the hijinks of Kevin getting the criminals with physical harm which was warranted and awesome.
    Kevin was right and I actually felt bad for him because of the emotional abuse: the family is cruel, they use horrible language with each other, the parents are awful to the children, and it's just a disgusting family dynamic that made my heart hurt. Maybe this is how it was in the 90's and we've gotten better as families and a society, but it was very problematic to watch and we as a family all agreed to turn it off:
    • If my brother ever yelled at my son and called him a jerk, we are going to have some serious problems. Much less a parent ever calling their kids inflammatory and derogatory names.
    • The Mom being awful to her son was gross
    • A child of Kevin's age emoting "I hate you!" screams a lack of emotional development up to this point
    • Kids bullying one another and being ugly to one another and parents not being present or aware enough to change the behaviors. 
    • An enabling culture
    • Letting kids as young as Fuller drink soda is probably the least offensive but as someone who thinks that's a very poor behavior/habit to allow kids it stuck with me.
    Anyways, this movie was a gut punch and made me feel sad. None of those things that set up the movie were meant to be funny or over-the-top, but a more or less straight take and realistic point of view of a family dynamic around the holidays. That's the sad part. Movies like Christmas Vacation which use dysfunction as comedy is different. This was supposed to be facsimile to a "modern" real family in the 90's.

  7. And he might also regress next year.  I haven't seen anything showing that he is learning.  We'll see.

    The kid has been humbled for the first time in his life.

    There are millions of dollars at stake with this kid. He is going to have family/friends/teammates/coaches on his ass to get his head right and fix his issues.

    He has the physical tools to be very special. I think the chances are great he comes back exponentially better.

    Or he is an all time waste. I don’t see it.

  8. It literally does not matter. We will hire some shitty coach because they fit our "image" and the BMDs will pat each other on the butt on a job well done. Maybe get a consulting firm or three involved, and we'll be right back here in three years. CDC is a loser, Sark is a loser, the big money guys are fucking losers. This University can not and will not do what it takes to win and everyone might as well just get comfortable with that. Our culture won't allow us to hire winners who happen to like fingerbanging co-eds like Urban, so we settle for losers like Sark. Well guess what - our fucking culture is just losing. That's it. That's our culture. Fucking losers who lose.

    CDC hate is fucking stupid. Rest of the athletic program is killing it. Oh, and he wanted Dykes.

  9. Seen them all at the theater with the family over the years. Most recently went to see Whisper of the Heart. Considering “Take Me Home, Country Roads” is one of my all time favorite songs - it was a pleasant surprise.

  10. Been working through Cabinet of Curiosities for Halloween weekend.  Guillermo del toro has his name on it, and introduces each story like Alfred Hitchcock would do or rod Serling on twilight zone. 8 scary stories, an hour each. Nothing too scary or crazy. 
     
    cast is good. F Murray Abraham in one. Ron Weasley in another.  Crispin glover, shockingly, playing a strange and creepy character. 

    I thought The Autopsy was great.
