I did it on the tailgate of a pickup. Does that count?- Championship game prices down 90 percent from last year
I'd betcha the networks would shit a brick if they tried to schedule against the NFL. It would split advertising dollars.- Championship game prices down 90 percent from last year
True. But avoiding bowl games and the NFL has put them in a position of scheduling on a Monday night after the holidays are over. I've gotta be at work Tuesday morning, as do most people. Outside of Alabama and Clemson, nobody gives a shit who wins. As far as I was concerned, college football was over four hours after Bevo tried to gore UGA.- One of the main problems with the modern comedy
Okay, gotcha. First, Judd Apatow. Yeah. I see his name associated with a project, and I know it's gonna be something I'm not interested in. This is a specific type of comedy designed to keep production costs down, and also, in my mind, associated with millennial (Lena Dunham) tropes of navel gazing. If you trace it back, I think you find it in a lot of Woody Allen films, and you could argue that Seinfeld did a lot of it. There tends to be a lot of self-flagellation in it, and whether it works or not depends entirely on the talent of the writers and the cast. It's not generally my type of humor, because I find it depressing, although I like some of Seinfeld's stuff.- Bevo attacks UGA
PETA exists to raise money for PETA. All they do is go out and do the most outrageous things they can think of to get publicity so crazy cat ladies, aging hippies, and raging soy boys will think they're edgy and send them money. You're spot on. Give them attention and they're happy.- One of the main problems with the modern comedy
He didn't say it wasn't funny. He said you're an old fart.- One of the main problems with the modern comedy
That is a terrific point. I think, though, that some comedy stands up over time and some doesn't. The Stooges still works. The Andy Griffith Show and the old Bob Newhart Show still work. Happy Days and Laugh-In don't work, anymore. One of my students told me anyone that quoted Monty Python was automatically an old fart. Some of the new humor doesn't work for me, and some, I have to let settle in for a while. DeadPool was great for me from out of the gate. But Major League is always funny. "Hes got so much nose hair when he sneezes he looks like a party favor." BTW, there are college freshmen this year who weren't born when The Emperor's New Groove came out.- One of the main problems with the modern comedy
Mila Kunis is, IMHO, the classic Hollywood celeb who cleans up gorgeous, but makes you fully understand what going to be with a ten and waking up with a four means. When she's dolled up, guys fight over her. When she's not, whoa!- RIP Daryl Dragon (The Captain)
Sorry, not sorry. No captain pictures. Don't recall him ever saying anything or changing expressions, for that matter.- So if the SEC is the king of defense...
Hope it was the "most punchable faces" thread.- Favorite Eastwood Movies
One of the underlying themes of the movie was that the built up legends of the gun fights as told in Sal Rubinek's books were really just seedy bushwhackings. Then, during the majority of the movie, Little Bill won every fight by getting the drop on someone and beating the shit out of them while someone else held a gun on them or they were tied up. The two people that Eastwood and the kid killed were caught (in one case, literally) with their pants down. Then, at the end, William Muny gets drunk, rides into town, goes into a bar totally outgunned, and utters the line, "I've killed women and children. I've killed just about everything that walks or crawls at one time or another. And I'm here to kill you, Little Bill, for what you done to Ned." After everything was said and done, at the end of the movie, was the one real gunfight for him to write about. And it was totally true.- Kirby Smart on Texas after he lost to the Longhorns
They believe what they're paid to believe.- 2019 Sugar Bowl - Texas vs. Georgia
You think that didn't already happen midway through the 3rd quarter? I'm sure aggy was singing that song by halftime.. Midway through the first, but yeah.- 2019 Sugar Bowl - Texas vs. Georgia

Is ESPN using Thujone's roller coaster?- What's your game plan tonight,you olds?
Yeah, gonna have to change my plans.- What's your game plan tonight,you olds?
Apparently I'm going to watch Oklahoma State blow a game they had in hand.- Will Ferrell + John C. Reilly = Holmes and Watson (Dec, 2018)
I go beyond not getting Ferrell to actively avoiding his movies. The couple I've watched portions of seem like one of those one gag Saturday Night Live skits where they take a one off gag and make it into a fifteen minute skit, except the movies last over an hour. For me, even in an absurdist movie, I have to believe the character. I believed Gene Wilder in Willie Wonka and Young Frankenstein. I believed Christopher Lloyd in Back to the Future. I believed John Belushi in Animal House. I believed Jeff Bridges as the dude. Ferrell's never come across to me as anything other than a guy half assing lines for a Saturday Night Live skit. - Post a pic that makes you say "Holy shit."
