  1. Braveheart ghostbusters raiders shawshank pulp fiction reservoir dogs lebowski Godfather The final two could be any of a million of those movies in the 90s that were awesome but also ‘just another movie’. Sling blade, falling down, boogie nights, almost famous, memento, swingers, dazed and confused, good will hunting, Fargo, dumb and dumber, true romance. Such a great era for movies and we were spoiled because genius stuff like this was coming out all the time
  2. Flula Borg is just a random collection of letters.
  3. It doesn’t seem to be a list of their best movies, but movies where they just sort of appear. Thus the no Die Hard But then I don’t get some of them even under that requirement, because Gleeson was a lead in Bruges. Same with Branagh in Henry V
  4. Twitter is poison.
  5. factoid: "the best people" = "top men"
  6. If you assholes get trump re-elected because someone not palatable to the Arizonas and Wisconsins of world is put up there I won’t forgive you.
  7. I went to UT grad school with a bunch of Ivy leaguers (in a field where your graduate pedigree mattered). My take away on them is if you paid a quarter mill to go to Princeton for undergrad then had to settle for public school grad school, you were the dregs of your class. They were all the mediocre students.
  8. it would be pretty bad ass if he arranged for an 18 wheeler to pull up to the school and just start unloading pallets of cash.
  9. I'm not talking about rich. I'm talking about wealth. Go buy yourself one of them bouncing cars. bling bling!
  10. So long as we are doing crazy stuff, might as well violate treaties.
  11. Made it through half last night. He goes back to the well a little with his “why is it so quite in here” thing when he says something that blows everyone’s hair back.
  12. that's really surprising to me. i figure warren would resonate with the young more than the olds.
  13. that's a pretty good joke
  14. The answer has to do with the TJ surgery he's going to have in about 8 months.
  15. I think Rice is definitely a better school in general. I also am aware that certain majors are considered better at UT than at Rice (including my own major). I also think there are a lot of other viable reasons why to choose UT over Rice, so the mere names on there doesn't necessarily make me think one way or the other about the applicant. Two quality schools offering different things. What I'm talking about are the UTs versus places that are in the 150s in rankings. Those make a difference to me.
  16. I was always meh on this. Felt it was Braveheart 2, The Pale Imitation.
  17. That NYT article the other day on Texas Rs leading off with the description of Perry and moving into today I thought was pretty good on this. Perry kept himself very mobile and could fit the whims of the day. Patrick has hardened himself on being a culture warrior and won't be able to maneuver to fit future popular opinions.
  18. What you see are big differences in rankings, I don't think of as that big. The differences between Rice, Texas, and A&M are small enough that it doesn't really harden my opinion of them one way or the other in the stuff I've been involved in. Although the Rice to A&M spread starts to get there and would be weighing on my mind as potentially important. Anyway, your knowledge of the hiring practices in individual businesses throughout innumerous fields is pretty impressive.
  19. Small differences like UT and UF don’t matter, especially where the places are so geographically distant. There are a 1000 good reasons any particular individual would choose one over the other. But UT versus some 100+ ranked Texas school or something does. I begin with the assumption someone ‘chose’ [generic Texas school] over UT because of reasons of ability.
  20. it's hard to say how much an individual candidate moves things when every election seems to be more about the national implications than the previous.
  21. ^hottest of all the tarantino women
  22. Terminator 2: Judgment Day The Silence of the Lambs Point Break Cape Fear Hook The Addams Family Beauty and the Beast My Girl Thelma & Louise Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves
  23. i was 21 and watched them collapse on tv with my roommates. i remember looking at one and saying "we just saw a bunch a people die." i think i said that out loud to remind myself that it was real and not some action film.
  24. Teigen and Ellen’s power combined. Oh man. Please let trump do some hateful tweet of a clip of that show in response.
