  1. Like me? Killing time before Stanford USC?
  2. Thompson has a je ne sais quoi.
  3. please come on
  4. Fuck, c'mon Colorado.
  5. Dave Kehr wrote in The Chicago Reader that while the film was "universally despised on its first release, Marnie remains one of Alfred Hitchcock's greatest and darkest achievements" as "theme and technique meet on the highest level of film art."[24]Richard Brody wrote in The New Yorker that he considered it "Hitchcock's best film."[25] In her 2012 review of the film Emily Cleaver of The Guardian wrote: "The opening shots of Marnie are Hitchcock's ideal of visual storytelling at its purest, and the rest of the film is an underrated gem."[26] Edith Oliver of The New Yorker called the film "an idiotic and trashy movie with two terrible performances in the leading roles, and I had quite a good time watching it. There is something bracing about Hitchcock at work, even when he is at his worst."[19]
  6. Vertigo is a great film. It's not as good, in terms of being an enjoyable movie, as just about all the Hitchcock films I've seen, including Marnie - which is fucking great. Maybe it's Kim Novak's fault, or Jimmy Stewart's. But it's almost certainly my fault.
  7. Yeah, I'm eating some fresh fruit and drinking a tall glass of pure filtered water each time I open this thread just so that I can make it to kickoff. On the wrong side of 50. I used to be able to read RV threads all night and then get up early and start over. No more.
  8. I'm really happy about Pepi, but I think A-Aronson is the most important guy on the attack.
  9. Good god it's a shitty song, whoever it offends.
  10. His Kind of Woman (1951) This one is pretty out of control. But I thought it was really enjoyable. Mitchum just cooling it, Russell and her bosom, and Vincent Price and Raymond Burr hamming it up. It didn't make any goddamn sense at all. The backstory of the shoot, and reshoot, is pretty interesting, with Howard Hughes driving everyone crazy.
  11. Gonna get the pepper jack cheese, pepper jack cheese.
  12. No, it's still very much a prop of white supremacists. It's been co-opted by fuck wits, rather than remain within the province of college sports rivalries.
  13. Deep.
  14. White brother just wants a hi-life.
  15. Put LD on the pitch.
  16. I never am able to hear what LD says because he sounds like a 24 year old NPR female reporter with a bad case of vocal fry.
  17. Today was a sad day for cool. This guy too.
  18. Aren't referring to knowing two subjects -- teaching and soccer -- very well? Skills would be more like, specific skills -- bow staff, goalkeeping, understanding teenagers...
  19. I'd wait until 10 minutes before the end of the game when we are going to be eliminated, and then make the coaching change.
  20. That was bad, eh fellas?
  21. Great question. I think because anyone who graduated before 1990 was very unlikely to take their dog to college. Anyone who graduated before then has likely already taken their kids to college, and especially at big schools with lots of apartment dwellers, been stunned by the numbers of people who take their pets to college. I can see, maybe a big old hound dog that becomes the frat mascot. But other than that, if Frankie had taken that dog to college, everyone would have thought he was special needs. Anyway, Stanford doesn't let dog in the dorms, and all freshmen are in dorms.
