  1. Geography is always the biggest plot hole in post-apocalypse movies. Was there a 24 hour meteor shower that covered the whole world? If noise plus water kill, then Tony already taught us the strategy:
  2. Curtis Thigpen. Taylor Teagarden. Cameron Rupp. There is a higher standard to be met. The time for lowered expectations is over.
  3. True. Now we laugh at cats that are aliens and use their hidden tentacles to eat stuff like people.
  4. tallest midget, smartest on the short bus, shiniest penny, etc., etc.
  5. Joey got banned and don't play with Nathan no more.
  6. When listening to an aggy, you must always start with the premise that they are lying.
  7. Hawaii sounds great, but would probably be way too expensive to be a real option. Give me Tennessee with Memphis and Nashville.
  8. 3. Big 10 doesn't have any interest whatsoever in aggy. They wanted Nebraska. As usual, aggy has a great plan that has no basis in reality or displays an understanding of how they are viewed by the world. My ugly wife don't want me? Well then I'll just marry a supermodel.
  9. The saddest part is using the word natty.
  10. Ahem. Hey, @Balcones get fucked you dipshit know-nothing. I will be pleasantly surprised if CDC made this announcement today with the hire coaching for a title tonight. Just don't think he would do that to the target.
  11. Aww, somebody can't balance on one leg. Bless her heart.
  12. Not as difficult when you're one too.
  13. I would definitely say there was a shift in TV land post-Sopranos where multi year episodic shows became high prestige TV. Prior to that, it was generally miniseries that had the big names and big issues. The long arc of a Breaking Bad or Game of Thrones didn't really exist. At best, you might get a multi-episode storyline that often was centered around a season ending cliffhanger. Then back to the unrelated weekly story once wrapped up.
  14. I get what you're saying, but I think you're mistaken about your past. Don't know your exact age, but as an example, the year 1977 saw Roots on TV and movie releases that year included Empire of the Ants and Satan's Cheerleaders. The prestige factor has shifted back and forth between the two mediums over the decades. Both have a long history of providing both really, really good and really, really bad. The Golden Raspberry Awards have been around since 1981. Perspective is also crucial. 1977 had Close Encounters, Slap Shot, and Star Wars. But my perspective at the time was that there was nothing better on TV or at the movies than The Bad News Bears Breaking Training. I've learned to accept my wrongness as my perspective changed.
  15. Movies have always largely sucked. It's what makes the good ones so special.
  16. I feel young again...and very old.
