  1. My first Jarmusch movie and I’ve loved him ever since. His movies aren’t always great but I always enjoy them. I was sophomore at Austin High but a lot my friends had graduated and were freshmen at Texas. We all went to see it at the Dobie one night and as the “little kid” in the group, they all convinced me it was real. In my head I knew they were full of shit, but when the movie started I got completely immersed. I was just old enough to enjoy it but young enough to still be sucked in. CTJ is right though, people who didn’t see it in the theater won’t understand the effect it had on people. In fact, with the ubiquity of found footage and prevalence of spoilers on the internet, I don’t think any movie will be able to catch people the way the BWP did ever again.
  2. A man of culture, I see. Has she seen Color Out of Space with Nick Cage? The hell scene from All Dogs go to Heaven was worse, imho
  3. Hate to say it, but the MPAA may have been right when it initially rated Poltergeist R. Not sure how Spielberg got it dropped to PG.
  4. Bobby dropping hints about NIL:
  5. Fuck whatever these things are from Labyrinth
  6. Listen you fucking pedants and movie snobs, I said "farther" because I referred to taking steps. These steps were metaphorical, rather than physical, so further could have also been correct, but both are acceptable uses. That "rule" didn't even become a rule until the 1980's and before that the terms were used almost interchangeably. The purpose of that scene in Finding Forrester is to illustrate that the teacher is a pedant who had clearly misunderestimated the titular character, and I don't think Van Sant was being overly prescriptive about how those terms should be used. It's like merlot sales plummeting because of a throwaway line in Sideways. Giamatti's character didn't want to drink merlot because his ex wife drank merlot, not because merlot is low brow or something. But everyone who likes wine saw that movie and took it as a signal that merlot was for pleebs and stopped drinking it. Great, more for me. I bet you assholes correct people when they say "octopuses" too.
  7. Take it one step farther and you may see recruits encouraged to commit to lower tier schools to finish “baking” and then transfer to the big school later. Nothing stopping an OSU collective paying for the NIL rights for a kid who goes to Toledo for a couple of years. Feeder programs, basically
  8. I believe the above poster is making a joke about how that AI slop article referred to Flood as our WR coach
  9. Gotta love that the actual Heisman winner didnt even make the list
  10. This is terrible bait, even for you
  11. Do we really know for sure that @Junior Bonner isn’t actually VY?
  12. One of my favorite TV gags of all time came from a show called “Third Rock from the Sun,” which starred John Lithgow, as the leader of a small group of aliens posing as humans on earth. In one episode, William Shatner plays The aliens leader who comes to visit them on earth. John Lithgow is there to greet him at the airport when Shatner steps off the plane. Shatner says, “the flight was terrible, there was something on the wing but no one would believe me.” And Lithgow shout “me too!” Kristen Johnson was also my introduction to unconventionally attractive women
  13. Y'all really have toxic beauty standards. I thought this was a safe space for the love-handled and muffin-topped.
  14. He's referencing this scene from Wolf of Wallstreet: Although to be fair, the characters in that scene are indeed referencing Freaks
  15. I lived in Louisville for a while. Spent every weekend I could down in Lexington. That town is awesome and Keenland is the most fun I've had a "sporting event" outside of Texas football games. Honestly had no intention of moving back to Texas until my folks got sick, Kentucky is a great state. Especially if you are decently smart and have any kind of social graces. A lack of in-state connections could limit your ability to get in with the "country club" set, but the job opportunities are endless for someone who is at all qualified. I had to learn stay away from Bardstown, though. I could see the path from "functional alcoholic" to "ruining my life" was paved in wheated bourbon.
  16. lol, I'm glad you said it. Seems like he was being a good sport. Honestly I don't see that much to dislike about Elko other than the trash he associates with. He's a slob, so there's that. But glasses houses and stones.
  17. I mean, perhaps he's better at football than we're assuming? Cards on the table, I'm high on Parker Livingstone for the vibes and memes rather than anything football related, but are we just taking it for granted that he's not very good? It's his second year in the program, the reports from camp are good. At 6'4" he's our tallest scholarship WR. I don't think he's WR1 or anything but I wouldn't be shocked if they had a role for him to play.
