  1. They started them in the intro comments.
  2. This show is a lesson in how to kill suspense and make your tv show feel super slow. (Despite having some of the best acting talent in the world) 0:00-5:00 Drop big hint at what's going to happen in this episode. 5:00-50:00 Slowly, slowly, slowly reveal what you hinted at. 50:00-59:00 Reveal what you hinted at in the first 5 minutes. They did the exact same thing to the entire series. Showed us Arquette in jail at the start. So the mystery/suspense was gone within the first 10 minutes. There's just not that much going on and they already told us how it ends. Different editing/directing could have made this a much more interesting show.
  3. 24-21 = SEC domination signed, ESPN
  4. So many ejections this bowl season than all year. 2 or 3 in the OKstate game yesterday.
  5. The mediocre Auburn team that beat MNC Alabama by 12 points in the last week of the regular season? That mediocre Auburn team? And sports are all about underdog teams that 'would never beat' more talented teams. In fact, my favorite moments in sporting history involve teams that 'would never beat' a more talented team. If the favored team won all the time, sports wouldn't worth watching.
  6. so now its impossible to not lower your head and smash a guys head while he's already being tackled. ESPN makes these games so hard to listen to. They're SEC partnership has made it 'almost impossible' to call a game without rooting for all things SEC.
  7. ACC has nobody other than clemson. swap UCF and Clemson and UCF wins the ACC.
  8. There's nothing 'malicious' or hateful or 'antisemetic' in that statement. Unless you infer a lot of things that weren't actually said. At most, it was 'insensitive'. But you made a good point in the other post. If you're super famous and you're out there promoting social justice for your team, then it's probably a little hypocritical to make 'insensitive' references to other teams. All things considered...okay, yeah, a little backlash is probably deserved.
  9. I need to stop visiting the political board. I'm flailing at windmills.
  10. Is there more to the story? Was something more said somewhere else? Because I'm not really seeing the antisemitism in the Lebron tweet. If he'd said 'get that Serbian money' would that be offensive? Connect the dots for me. Unless the news is that people look for reasons to be offended. In which case, I've already been made aware.
  11. Why are you posting random dudes overreacting to things on twitter?
  12. Up by 2 points against the Jazz, with 10 seconds to go, Westbrook bricks a 3 pointer...(on a night that PG13 was on fire)...reminding everyone that he's still Westbrook. Two points would have sealed the win. But Thunder still get the victory. Westbrook with a foul/block on the last play. Jazz missed a free throw. Thunder win by one.
  13. The rare triple negative. Bravo to you, sir.
  14. A strike hurts a little more if you're an NFL player. Their career windows are much shorter than the NBA/MLB. You miss out on a single season in the NFL...that might have been one third of your career football income.
  15. I wonder if the presence of Carmelo last year showed Westbrook what a me-first personality does to a team. Because it's one thing when you're doing it, it's something else when you're watching another guy do it. it's a lot easier to see how it hurts the team. However it's happened, Westbrook is playing point guard now and the Thunder look a little dangerous. Their defense is fun to watch, which is really saying something for an NBA game in December.
  16. The Wachowski brothers/sisters borrowed/stole the premise for the Matrix from a Philip K. Dick's speech, he gave back in 1977, talking about the significance of deja vu, and how we're living in a computer simulation, (Video proof in the spoiler) That said, the Wachowski's did a nice job with how they revealed the premise. And they did create an awesome cyber-punk aesthetic and some of the coolest special effects in the history of science fiction---rivaling Star Wars But agree with everyone else. After the big reveal of the mind-blowing premise (which they stole), it turned into flying superheros and slow motion music video compilations.
  17. Just finished it. Looks great. Effects are top notch. Story? Eh...
  18. Well, we are in 'Lulz' so it seemed appropriate to post weird ones. But...you're not wrong. The 'Comsic Ray' video was interesting. I was thinking about radiation while flying just the other day. I used to fly all the time and do believe I've had residual health issues from it. Didn't get the most satisfying answer, since there are 'unaccounted for' charged particles, but every time you fly, you're getting a dental x-ray's worth of radiation...which isn't great. Makes me wonder what kind of cancer rate exists for pilots/flight attendants.
  19. Then there's Cyriak, who is one of the earliest youtube animators (and one of the most famous). He's definitely got a unique style. He makes his own music as well.
  20. This guy is turning a book into a very weird looking 'puppet show', using pieces of real photographs. Has taken him 2 years and it's still not quite finished. But he's still working on it, allegedly. So should see a final chapter in the next 6 months or so if he maintains his current publishing speed.
  21. David Firth is a British cartoonist who is pretty well known over there. His most famous series is "Salad fingers" which is pretty damn bizarre and creepy. He also makes some pretty smart 'cartoons'. There's a shit ton of trash on his channel also. But Salad fingers is worth trying out for a few episodes. Cream is great. And the 'health reminders' are brilliant. Can probably skip the rest, unless you just really like his style.
  22. Forgive me if you've already seen these...but they stand out as unique to me. This channel only made 6 videos. Kind of dark parody of kid's shows. With hand made puppet-everything. Music is catchy too.
  23. National Geographic channel (and various online outlets). Unique mix of documentary and drama in the same show. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. I can't say I enjoyed season 1 and almost skipped season 2, but glad I decided to watch it. Story/drama part involves a scientific colony on Mars, working alongside a corporate mining colony. There is sympathy for the science group, but they have their own bad guys and its not as one-sided as you might think. The mix of documentary and drama is working much better this time, with very relevant topics being discussed and feathered into the story/drama. It's stimulating my mind-grapes. Would be interested to hear what other people think of it.
  24. Notre Dame comes out in favor of 8 teams. (ESPN article if you want to go read it) The more voices the better. Will be interesting to see what scripted things ESPN will say during blowout games. They're married to the SEC and I can only assume there's language in their contract about pushing the SEC agenda. But a bigger playoff would add 8 massive ratings games that would benefit ESPN in a very direct way. It hurts to do it, but I'll listen to Herbie read from his script during the end of a few bowl games, and I guess I'll know where ESPN Corporate stands on the deal.
