  1. Braveheart is unique. It's a heroic tale in which the hero never actually has a dramatic stare down with the villain. However accurate, I can't imagine other creators will not contrive that scene.
  2. It is one of the most streaky rivalries. This chart is almost never plaid https://www.winsipedia.com/notre-dame/vs/usc Hah. An entire generation almost passed without seeing ND win @Southern Cal. Almost every single one of those games in the 60s-70s either won or ruined a national championship. The streak was broken by, of all people, Gerry Faust. Ya. This came out of the BUG media deal. I think Riley's punishment for his recent records is to play the fall guy.
  3. How small does Brian Kelly need it?
  4. Tom Brady turned out okay. More recently some Michigan State guy hung around for like 15 years.
  5. It's so weird watching an old flic like Prom Night and trying to find the jokes Nielsen wasn't making.
  6. How did Nico not go to Colorado?
  7. How about a Charlie Weis sized contract extension, with the same no-offsets. How about CU retires the hoody?
  8. Don't schools still dress players in the 'retired' jerseys?
  9. Slingshot (2024). Space madness. Directors are really overdoing the hallucinated alt realities. It's starting to seem like an excuse to show things that don't fit into the plot.
  10. Can we have a death scene without a dream scene?
  11. The Zombies conditioned me to always have 'a show' on Sunday night. Yellowjackets is filling that void. The everything is way off. Example, teen girls lost in woods should be a tense survival story, but the tone is as serious as a bachelorette flic.
  12. Disquiet, 2023. Exactly what you expect from Canadian horror. John Rhys Meyes stars in a retelling of wake up trapped in hospital horror shows with the all of the tropes. The symbols were heavy handed, and just in case they explain them halfway through. While quite mediocre, I could not turn away.
  13. I enjoyed his Batman back in the day. Some did not.
  14. Asphault Jungle. 1950. Purportedly the first time that the criminals were the main characters instead of the cops. I was very surprised how most of the score was quiet. No violins or intensity noise during the crime. The middle part was a bit dull but the plan and the escape were great. Surprised to see that Marilyn Monroe had such acting skills. The ending narration from the police commissioner must have inspired Dragnet.
  15. I am watching even though I don't like it. It captures the spirit of the girl power fad of the early 90s, which was shallow back then too.
  16. A cauldron is another word for melting pot. An appropriate remake would be the black lives matter salad bowl.
  17. Local college is performing it as a musical. I feel so old having seen it in the theater.
  18. Any suspicious criticisms of the NCAA coming out of the Big2? So far I heard the UCLA coach complaining about the NCAA booked flights on Allegiant. That is pretty good cover for anyone who has had to fly on Allergant.
  19. Now they can have that rematch.
  20. Iowa is at the top of their brand, the scrappy lunch pail team that wins with 3 stars. It has been evidenced. It was like 15 years ago but Iowa was on top of a chart of the ratio of wins:recruiting. Somehow the Hawks run this ancient offense that found their way to the conf title game when the BUG was split by geography. I haven't encountered many overly proud and enthusiastic Hawkeyes. Tennessee is #3 in SEC titles and only recently was passed by UGA at #2. I have no idea where Iowa is/was in the little 8.
  21. IIRC Stephen King's complaint about the film was that his book was about a sympathetic author who gets driven mad, while Jack Nicholson was pretty much there from the start.
  22. They meet up with the folks from Trading Places. Easy game, they go out for a tour on Andy's boat; a three hour tour.
  23. Iowa has had something like two head coaches in 50 years? And all without a pedo scandal.
  24. This is the single platoon era where he had to play defense to be on the offense!?
  25. For BGSU, Penn St won by a td, A&M by 6. https://www.toledoblade.com/sports/bgsu/2024/09/21/bgsu-football-suffers-another-tough-setback-ranked-opponent-texas-am/stories/20240921120
