    It is the worst place I have even lived, and I grew up in Belton, TX.  What made Belton better was the two lakes in town and being an hour from Austin.

    You must have missed the river that borders the campus, or the numerous lakes (some quite nice) just a few miles west of town.

    Come and See. Astonishing Soviet 1985 film about WWII through the eyes of a Belarusian kid. The SS crimes in the Ukraine are terrifyingly presented.

    More Arthouse than rah-rah patriotism.

    It is a must see.

    I watched that movie last night based on your review and it sucked hard. There was nothing "astonishing" or realistic about it. The SS was much more brutal and not (as portrayed) inefficient buffoons in that area. Watching the kid (for 3 hours!) with the permanent crying face was a beating. It is a must avoid if you know anything about Operation Barbarossa

    Why? I've watched interviews with the guy and he seems to be okay. Koepka seems like the bigger douche, and he fancies himself an intimidating badass. Fuck this National Enquirer bs.

    Upon further reflection, yeah Bryson is a douche. I think Fleetwood takes this thing.

    I hate his stupid jerk off hat. I hate his stupid jerk off clubs. His stupid jerk off swing and his stupid jerk off excuses

    edit: I’m not a Koepka fan either, but I’m not sure how that’s relevant to my initial statement 

    I made it relevant. I hate his swing too, but I tolerate his hat because of Payne. Keep your ugly fuckin' goldbrickin' ass out of my beach community!

    fun looking through the thread...

    this board really likes the Coen bros, PTA, and Tarantino, seems like in that order 😄

    any/all of Goodfellas/Godfather I/II are probably on at least 85% of lists...as are Alien(s).

    The Dark Night, Clint Eastwood, and Jaws probably round out the top picks.

    Kubrick is also well represented.

    For me, it's Upham pussing out while Mellish gets stabbed with his own bayonet in "Saving Private Ryan".  

    Every time I watch that film I end up screaming "get up the stairs, you coward".  I bet I've seen it 30 times and it never fails to make me furious, especially since he had started to show a little backbone earlier in the fight, or at least minor usefulness.

     

    Yours?

    I always leave the room when that scene comes on. They should have shot that kraut at the radar station.

    OK, back and ready to report.

    Methodology: divided the world into 7 body types:

    1. Dependasaurus: Capable of burning out the motor of a Rascal scooter. Early Cuyler's girlfriend.

    2. Big and Fat. Like, really fat, but can walk to the elevator. Usually stand with knees kind of poked in against each other.

    3. Kinda Fat. Capable of full range of activities, just obviously kinda fat and that's that. Couldn't chase you very far, but could whoop your ass if you didn't try to get away.

    4. "Normal" aka Fat in 1978. People who could be healthy with minor changes like dropping junk food and taking a short walk every day. Or they could start hanging out at the buffet and get kinda fat.

    5. Actually Skinny. People who could play a pick-up sports game and enjoy it. Sometimes almost the same weight as "Normal," except they move better because they are used to moving. Could also be some lazy asshole who still has a teenager's metabolism. I didn't interview them, they just looked skinny.

    6. Meth Skinny. Self-explanatory.

    ---------------

    Size of sample: 43 people

    Activity: Shopping/working

    Location: Taco Bell and Hobby Lobby, at "Wildwood" shopping area Homewood Alabama

    Unit: individual civilians plus staff of those two stores. About 9/10s of them were female. Mix of Caucasian and African-American, plus one possibly Guatemalan or Honduran or I don't know maybe she grew up here but her daddy was from Oaxaca. I didn't interview her I just saw her walking past.

    Time: noonish

    Equipment: Blue vests for the Hobby Lobby workers, black clothing for Taco Bell, beach casual for civilians.

    ----------------

    I needed to get my head back to 1978, so I did what I would do then, and stopped in Taco Bell to buy one of the cheapest thing they had, a Bean Burrito. To my shock, none of the three workers seemed to partake of their product; they were fit, happy, and possessed social skills. They were less good at assembling Bean Burritos because the one they gave me exploded in my hand as I ate it in my car, rather like trying to handle a baby's diaper full of diarrhea as I licked that gooey goodness off my hands. Mentally, I felt ready for Hobby Lobby.

    I walked into Hobby Lobby listening for the whir of Rascal wheels, but instead saw-- lots of Normal-looking people. I was surprised-- Hobby Lobby is not upscale so you don't expect to see Spa Queens or anybody who Had Work Done, but there we were, people ranging from Kinda Fat down to Actually Skinny, with no real outliers. I made one pass around the store. Whoever cam in after that, I didn't count, but I didn't see anybody very far from the average.

    Admittedly, it was in the eye of the beholder, but I've seen church groups from Missouri and there was nobody nearly that big. The Kinda Fats usually weren't all that much bigger than the "Normal"s.

    So here are my results:

    Dependa: 0

    Big & Fat: 0

    Kinda Fat: 12

    "Normal": 19

    Actually Skinny: 12

    Meth Skinny: 0

    -------------

    Conclusion: Hanging out at Hobby Lobby makes people lose weight. I was less than a mile from a Walmart, a Sam's Club, and a Chinese Buffet, so no doubt those are the places to seek out more Houston Astro Game-ish numbers, but hell, I just didn't feel like it.

    You should have gone to Taco Casa while you were out there.
