    Hell or High Water is the best of them, by a long shot.

    good lord, man. carve out an evening and settle in for that movie. it deserves your attention. 

     

    Yeah, I must have been completely preoccupied or not paying attention whenever that one came out.  I'll find some time to sit down and watch it this week.

    back when she was writing white papers about how bad clinton's foreign policy was because he kept getting into overseas bombing campaigns with no narrowly tailored plans to achieve clear and definable end goals?  that condi?

     

    Also, she's a former CFB playoff selection committee member who thinks the committee does a fantastic job and nothing about the playoff selection should be changed.  She fucking sucks.

    Seeing as this has been on HBO recently, I've been thinking about it..the casting folks that put Rachel Leigh Cook as the "nerd/ugly duckling" is some of the worst casting in the history of movies.

    She's hot as balls and was the prettiest chick in the movie.

     

    Yeah, but you couldn't tell because she had those glasses on most of the time.

  4. Traylor may or may not be a great hire at Texas, but it doesn't matter because we're not firing a coach after his first season.  Wanna know a surefire way to keep good coaches away from the program?  Let them all know they won't have a job at the end of the year if they don't win immediately, regardless of how crappy the roster is.

    And no offense, but continuity should not be a goal after a coach notches possibly the worst three year stretch at UT in modern history, if not ever.

    nothing against Angelina Jolie, but at this point, I see her and don't see the character she's playing. I just see Angelina Jolie.  

     

     

    Agreed, but she's just not a good actress either.  Maybe she was a one point, but at least the last few things I've seen her in she plays Angelina Jolie.  Her default facial expression in most scenes, regardless of context, is like some blend of smug self-satisfaction and forced bedroom eyes.

  6. There are only a few reality shows I've enjoyed watching.  The main one is probably Life After Lockup.  I mainly enjoy it for the complete absurdity that a group of men thought they would find love by becoming pen pals or by using a dating service with inmates, followed it up by giving them a bunch of money, and then ending up shocked when it turns into a complete shit show after their release.

    I'm sure a certain percentage of it is scripted.  I'm not sure how much but I'm under the assumption all of the reality shows are at least somewhat scripted.  I can somewhat suspend disbelief and pretend it's mostly real.  I still find it entertaining regardless.  Really the more absurd and humiliating, the better.

    I've liked 90 day Fiance for mostly the same reasons -- the absurdity and the cringe/hard to watch situations people put themselves in.

    60 Days In is the last one I watched. (Apparently I like shows related to jail/prison.)  I guess I like the tension and build up of seeing which ones are going to succeed and fit in and do what they're tasked with doing in the jails and which ones are going to fold or get pushed around by other inmates or end up having to tap out.

    I read a review that frames it as a whodunnit that would have been better off as an open ended mystery. They also thought Parts 2 and 3 were too long and uninteresting. 
     

    I of course disagree. There’s certainly some ambiguity, but Comer’s point of view is probably what happened. 
     

    Driver thinks he’s invincible because he’s Pierre’s guy. 
     

    Damon will do anything to save face and defend the only thing valuable to him, his family’s name. 

     

    Yeah, I also disagree.  I was getting more and more into it each time the story started over.

    I’m a Stephen King fanboy, so I loved It (but still haven’t seen Chapter 2). Don’t know why you needed the “fuck off” disclaimer.

    Can't remember if it was this board or another I post on but people seemed to be very mixed on it with some preferring the original Tim Curry version.

    I thought the new ones were pretty awesome, especially Chapter 1.  I saw both in theaters twice.

  9. I really wasn't expecting too much going in, but this is probably the best thing I've seen in theaters in a good while.  It was really well done.  Loved the nuances in the acting when the story is repeated from different points of view.

    I'm surprised it's already down to 1 or 2 showtimes a day after only two weeks.  Nobody has super powers in this and there aren't CGI villains, so I guess it's not going to be the biggest draw.
