  2. Best scene is Will Ferrell being a total asshole about his "ugly" wife(who's Eva Mendez in her prime).
     
    I watched Chainsaw Man Reze Arc last night...if you're into anime, especially gory, shonen ones that fucking destroy you, it's a good watch.

    It was a decent running joke, but there were so many excellent running jokes and sequences. The scene with Christinith was great as were the Gator pimp flashback, the quiet funeral fight, Keaton’s TLC references and BBB meeting, the bribe montage, the list goes on. Great movie.

  3. Good lord.  Money is always going to trump crooked refs.  Money will even trump national championships when it comes to recruiting as much as I hate to say it.  Exhibit A:  Oregon.

    You serious? I laid out the impact of various factors including crooked refs and coaches. Crooked refs directly cost us money each year and indirectly cost us championships, prestige, and mo money and leverage. Wandering the wilderness from 2010-2022 cost UT Athletics hundreds of millions than they already made being mediocre.

    What would happen to our finances if Brian Orakpo and Sergio Kindle were allowed to destroy QBs then use Chase Daniels as a ragdoll in the big12 title game? Then, having a deeper and more confident team heading into the MNC against Tebow. Muschamp would have curb-stomped them.

    A better decade would have given Texas much more leverage. Nevertheless, politics is probably the most important factor, but dont want to CR this thing up.

  4. Adorable. There is one and only one reason the move was made. 
    $$$$$$$

    History and money changes if we win additional championships, including a title in 2008. All of a sudden the LHN bribe gets bigger. If refs were neutral, our dline recruiting advantage becomes more pronounced and we knock spread QBs into Bolivia (like 2004 and 2005). We have more leverage and more money.

    It’s also adorable that you don’t think Disney facilitated realignment in order to consolidate their contracts. And that our decision wasn’t also about politics.

    Keep playing checkers, sport.

  5. They can suck all they want. As long as its not intentional sucking directed at us like it was during our Big 12 exit. 

    We exited the Big 12 due in large part to the 2008-2022 bullshit we had to deal with from conference frenemies. From coaches polls, holding, incompetence, bias and/or corruption - all those things led to our departure.

    In a world with 50-50 ratio of subjective calls and no-calls, I’d expect several more conference championships.

  6. Not gonna scroll back through dozens of posts, but if Matt’s El Rancho isn’t on here already that’s a goddam shame. Place was overrated in 1985 when I was a freshman, and hanst gotten any better since food-wise. There’s always a ton of hot puss there but you can find that all over Austin…


    Its as rated. Never heard anyone rave about Mats except that it’s a good Happy Hour meetup, especially for out of towners. With that said, more than once I went there on a Tuesday and was dumbfounded they’re closed on Tuesdays.

  7. Great ending, although I think the part where Sam goes off with some new family was a stretch. Kind of hit hard to me, because I have been a foster parent and know the system, plus Sam looked like my older sons when they were little. That ending hit me hard, and I thought Tom should have done all he could to keep Sam. 

    Well the scene with the priest buddy poignantly described Toms situation and the pending cohabitation with his adopted and troubled son. A recovering, older alcoholic with his excon son might be a loving home but a complicated one. Not a stretch at all, but a gut punch.

  8. Yeah it is clear that they have way too much going on in their heads on any given play.  Another sign pointing to Sark thinking he can run things like an NFL team when he is working with 19 year olds.  Slide protections, pull protections, half run half pass protections.  Its all too much.  Just run BOB and some half-slide until we can prove we can execute those.  
     
     

    Seeing the talented Eagles get pantsed early this season gives me hope. The new coordinator is fucking things up and one the best running games in NFL history is neutered by bad coaching. Think a Greg Robinson like change will have to happen to the whole offense.
  9. I think I’ll join a gang. That seems like a real carefree, non-stressful life to live. Just makes you feel happy and good about the world, you know?

    Looks pretty fun

  10. Thunderbolts - better than I expected but nothing great.  Could have used a bit more setup as I’m not a MCU nerd.  Seemed like a thin story.  I thought Pugh had a lot of charisma in this role.
     
    Accountant 2 - utter dogshit.  Bernthal is doing a his best effort to be Daniel Day Lewis and it’s not working in this one.  Affleck playing an autistic person comes off like parody.  I don’t remember disliking the first one, but really couldn’t describe it so maybe I wasn’t paying much attention when we watched it or something.

    I didn’t finish Thunderbolts or its predecessor Black Widow. One because my plane landed and the other because I fell asleep. And I love Florence Pugh. She could read a phonebook and I’d watch.
  11. It’s pretty fucked up, but in a subtle way. I like it. You guys seem more at home with a Fast and Furious marathon.

    Love me some pretentious cinemaphile smack, especially when it’s a cheap shot. I’ll say, Phantom Thread is best enjoyed on the big screen when you can be fully immersed. Great acting and eye candy. It will lose a lot on an airplane small screen, but can help put you to sleep.
