Can’t stand Ketchum.  And never watch his YouTube channel or show.  But it popped up the other day and it looks like he’s lost a bunch of weight. He’s now just normal fat like most of the posters on here.  Here is a screen grab.

If I'm not mistaken, he underwent one or two gastric bypass procedures or sleeves, and I thought I heard that one of them went badly and he had a long recovery.

Alamo Drafthouse used to do a screening where you would float on a tube in Lake Travis and watch Jaws.  Fucking terrifying.

Yeah, those freshwater great whites are a menace.

Piranha (original 1978) was mostly filmed at Aquarena Springs in San Marcos. I happened to be there visiting a girlfriend I had at the time. She’s an extra in some of the crowd scenes, lol. (No pics).

Fire in the sky, the alien movie, fucked me up as a kid. I couldn't get through IT, had to give that one a DNF as a kid

I walked out of my first viewing of Alien. I was taken off guard by how intense it would be for a movie set in space. I left when Harry Dean Stanton was by himself looking for the cat. After that, I went to see it weekly. I was living in a place where I didn't know anybody. 

At one screening, the sound went out and persisted for more than a minute. The theater was dead quiet watching Ripley trying to escape. I finally got the nerve to announce:

In space no one can hear you scream.

Brought the house down. I should have done the comedian thing, "Thanks everyone! You've been great!" and strided out as the proper end of my career as a stand up comedian.

Just got to this:

Oregon and Michigan being the other two finalists doesn’t indicate that we’re going to be able to come back at the 11th hour and moneywhip Benjamin if we want to. Those two don’t have much of a problem matching or exceeding whatever we can do. FWIW, I have the same concern about Malakai Lee.

I’m glad we decided we want Kreul. If he grows a little bit then you’ve really got something. If not then he can transfer to Temple and terrorize the AAC. 

Also, maybe y’all could shut the fuck up with the movie horseshit for 5 seconds while we have a little nugget to discuss?
 

If we flip Lee, it won't be because of NIL.  There's a decent chance Moore is fired after this year if they can't put together an offense that can score more than 10 points.

I like the cut of your jib. But Moore has to like REALLY shit the bed to get canned, right? I think the way they finished last year bought him some goodwill.

I’m not sure what the Larry Ellison ROI ratio calculations will be but I would think that the amount of money being invested in the roster shortens the leash on Moore a bit. I doubt they tolerate mediocrity very long with the payroll they’re apparently heading toward.

Dude, The Color Out of Space is one fucked up movie. I hadn't read the Lovecraft version so I went in blind. Seeing those kids merge together was...something. Great movie, tho. I can't turn down a Nic Cage movie, especially if it's weird as hell. Loved Mandy. You don't even need to take actual LSD to get the experience. 

As a bonus Nic Cage disturbing movie, 8mm is really, really solid.

His ROI calculations are entirely based on his GF giving him blow jobs.   If she is happy, he is happy.    The money is irrelevant to him.

He cried defending Harbaugh in an interview as interim then beat OSU in year one. Agree that he’s got more than two bad years worth of goodwill. Not to mention the investments they’ve made in the roster make a move less likely

I have zero memory of OU playing Washington St. in the Rose Bowl

2002 season. blOU was #1 for a while, then got upset by A&M and Okie Lite to hand us a chance to win the Big 12 South. Of course, we bungled said chance after Kliff Kingsbury tore Bull Reese and our beleaguered defense apart in Lubbock.

A&M fans were frothing at the mouth about how great Reggie McNeal was after the A&M game, only for blOU to get revenge next year to the tune of 77-0.

And a side note.  Mike Price of Washington State quit before the Rose Bowl to take the Alabama job (replacing Franchione). He was fired there before ever coaching a game. Strip clubs and such.

I haven’t been to a strip club in many years. Do dollar bills still have a purpose?

2003 was a wild offseason. Washington fired Rick Neuheisel for betting on college games, Iowa State's bball coach was fired for getting publicly wasted at frat parties and hitting on co-eds, and then the Price scandal came along and blew everything previous out of the water.

I thought the story was the hooker in his hotel room took Price's shiny-new BamaJelly-credit-card and ordered everything in the world.

This thread is the Blair witch project of scary movies 

I was projectionist at Dobie Theater when this first came out.  I put the movie together and then had to stay by myself to watch it to make sure I didn't fuck something up and put a reel on upside down or something stupid.  I had no idea what the movie was even about.  I was probably 20 at the time, but that scared the shit out of me.  I remember getting home about 3am and googling it and they had that whole backstory internet campaign going online trying to make people think it was real.

On the other side of the spectrum was watching Something About Mary with no idea of the greatness I was about to witness.  Good times.  Best jobs I ever had were working at movie theaters.

People who saw it at the theater will never forget it. People who saw it at home all say it was trash. That movie has the biggest split in opinion based on viewing setting that I have ever seen.

Dobie Theater in the 80s was pure greatness. There was a terrific video rental shop in there, too. There was an arcade/pool table place in the basement. I remember some guys regularly breaking out some kind of massive table top game with intricately painted figurines. Turns out it was Warhammer 40k. I'd ask them about the lore of the world and by the end of the conversation my head was completely spinning. 

Movies that did well played a lot longer in the theaters back then. We had Nightmare on Elm Street at our theater for over a year, and it was still making money at the end of the run. Who would think that having a proprietary lock on content would be good for business? In any case, if there were any ladies from mid teens to early 20s that went in to see the movie, I would go in at critical moments with a pair of hot dog tongs and start clicking them together. It never failed to scare the living crap out of them. 

Maybe it's been mentioned before, but the tunnel scene in the original Willie Wonka is a classic. 

Wrath of Khan is almost universally considered the best Star Trek movie. A lot of great scenes in there, from the beginning where Kirk admits he rigged the computer simulation designed to help future officers deal with defeat so he wouldn't have to, the tremendous overacting from both Shatner and Montalban, the Master and Commander type cat and mouse fight between the two, and Spock's death because he didn't want to keep playing the character. How did that work out for you, Nimoy?

But for me the signature scene in that movie was sticking that slug in the ear of Chekov so he lost the function of his free will. The way it swirled around to enter his brain through his ear was nightmare fuel. 

Also, Marathon Man. "Is it safe? Is it safe?" I think the book handles the scene even better, but it's hard to beat Laurence Olivier and Dustin Hoffman on screen together playing such a horrific scene. 

The scene in Clockwork Orange where they pry his eyes open so he can't look away from the screen, can't even blink. 

Tons of others, but those are some good ones.

There were several. There was one at the student union. Another was in a separate building. They were constantly showcasing films for the RTF students, so every semester they'd rotate through some real gems.

Yeah I was thinking of on-campus. I don't remember going into the Union so it must have been the separate building you were talking about. I thought it was near Anna Hiss so probably it was somewhere between the Union and the gym.

It was a pretty big theater. 500 seats or so from what I recall. No concessions or anything. I saw a ton of movies there, but I couldn't tell you the name of the theater/building any more.

Hogg Memorial Auditorium and The Union Theater on campus, then right around the corner was The Varsity Theater at 24th & The Drag (that became a Tower Records before that closed, too, then a Wells Fargo Bank & CVS Pharmacy), etc.

Also Batts Auditorium. Hogg was the most uncomfortable theater around. There were screenings in Jester, too.

It was great to see movies on the big screen for cheap. The best movie bang for the buck I got was one year when I stayed for the summer. There was a series called The Thirties: Good Times, Hard Times. I think it was fifteen dollars to see two double features a week. 

It wasn't on that plan, but I saw Casablanca for the first time on campus. Maybe Batts. Chillingly good. 

If I were rich, I'd buy a theater for screening great old movies. Don't care if I lose money. The experience is everything.

But I enthuse.

We all know RJ Young is a douchefart, but he did say something nice about Texas and Derrick Cooper. He said when watching his film he reminds him of Eric Dickerson, and Adrian Peterson, as he looks for inflict violence and pain to anyone in his way. He of course admitted to get under Texas fans skins that he also has some Demarco Murray in him (I'm not sure how that would get under our skins since Murray was a hell of a good college and pro RB). 

Edit: He said Texas is getting a dominant RB and we're not going to slow down from stacking talent year after year and get better year after year. He made it abundantly clear that Sark will always have a 1k RB, and even used Wisner as an example. He also mentioned that we haven't had a punishing RB since Foreman, but he listed all the great RB'S he's produced (Bijan, Brooks, Wisner, Najee Harris, etc).

Did they hand out bard bags at the theater? I wonder if that was just part of the mythos surrounding it.

You're correct. I saw a movie once in Welch, Painter, ETC, and CPE, too.

I heard about movies in Jester, since I lived in 3rd Floor Jester East, but never watched any.
