What this game presupposes is, what if Arch Manning is not good?

Do you think they’ll ask Saban why he had his coaches talk about Sark’s alcoholism to recruits?

When can we stop pretending Raiola is good? Just trying to plan ahead.

I went to see this movie today. I think it's an HBO doc, so hopefully it will be on that service before too long. At the Alamo, they showed a previously unseen performance after the feature, which was expectedly great. I really enjoyed it. I have no artistic ability, so people with unexplainable gifts like Buckley are magic to me. I can't get my head around it. He was an unbelievable talent and as charismatic as they come. He comes across as a guy who knew he had these tools but also couldn't comprehend what to do with them (like the bunny in "Swingers") or if he even wanted it. There were too many internal forces holding him back. The end of the story is tragic and the last voicemail to his mom broke me. The movie did the typical thing where everyone says "He was as happy as I've ever heard him" right before his death, but I choose to believe it and leave him in that place. Finally being able to stuff at least some of those skeletons in the closet and look at the world with the sun streaming in from a new day. On a personal note, I took note that he seemed to be calling people out of the blue in the weeks before his death. About 4 years ago, I got a random call from my college roommate who I hadn't talked to in probably 10 years. We talked for a good hour. About a month later, he died at 39. When I was talking to some other college friends about it, they said that they had not heard from him in years, but he had called them recently. Like he was closing his accounts and saying goodbye. Maybe you just know. And I write this with "Hallelujah" in my headphones, my heart breaking again.

Have you asked them to come play on your stage? The worst they can do is say “no”

Agree. I was hoping we were done with all of that. We’ll see how it turns out.

Rose Byrne is out of control hilarious in Spy, the Melissa McCarthy movie. Her and Statham make that movie great. I ran into Bobby Canavale at LegoLand. Told him I enjoyed his work and asked him to tell Rose how amazing she was in Spy. I’m sure it was never passed on but I like the idea that it was and it made her happy for a moment.

We just went on a family trip to Paris and partly because of last season’s visit to Strasbourg, we trained out there for a couple of nights. We had a cheese plate at the store where they did the cheese tasting challenge and visited the church in town. It was great to see another part of France and it was a very cool town, with its huge Germanic influences. We really enjoyed it there.

Decision to Leave is good, but pretty mid for Park Chan-Wook, which says more about him than the movie. He makes great movies. Decision to Leave is beautiful looking and that ending is wild.

We are heading to Paris today, so watched Before Sunset last night. I love that movie so much. When Delpy is on the boat, with the sun hitting her hair, I don't know if anyone has ever been more intoxicating. The scene in the car breaks me every time. A true masterpiece.

What the fuck is wrong with you, Houston? Non-CR thread

Hu’s Cooking at Holcombe and Kirby is our go to Chinese when in town at MDA. I always hear a fair amount of chinese being spoken when we’re there, which is always a good sign. -
I just got back and I was not a fan. I don't get the high praise it has gotten. I am SO tired of these stories being "can't sacrifice the one for the good of all". Yeah, you can. To be truly heroic, doesn't there need to be a sacrifice from you, either internal or external? Black Widow had it right. And then to go ahead and admit that to the world? No wonder everyone was so pissed at them. There would be riots to get to that tower and take that baby away. And then, Sue Storm makes a pretty lame speech and the whole world is like, "never mind, I love these people and will do EVERYTHING they say." Ridiculous and not in a "the world is on fire right now" kind of way, but that makes no sense in the best of times. But this is Earth 828, not our world! Shut up, nerd. Their big plan at the end was to basically mousetrap a galactic entity into walking to this one spot, after his herald destroyed the rest of the teleports? He would fall for that? And he almost did, which makes it even dumber. I did like Sue Storm using her Mom Strength to push him in at the end. I don't know why you cast two of the most beautiful and charismatic actors on Earth in Vanessa Kirby and Pedro Pascal and make them as bland as white paint on a wall. Silver Surfer was one of my favorite comic characters growing up and I liked her. She looked cool. I hope Natasha Lyonne got well paid for her 3 days on set.

Most Quotable Comedies of the Last Decade

The other problem is with infinite things to watch, we don’t all own the same VHS/DVDs that we wear out. -
What movies will you watch if it's on?
