To answer the thread title:

Man, Mizzou are a bunch of morons.

It warms my heart to see Hugh Freeze suck at Auburn.

Ha that’s me. I’m on immunosuppressant leukemia drugs so gotta keep it safe.

Brought my 7 year old daughter to the game and splurged on the front row seats. I was directly behind Carlson’s serve during that run. Got loud there for a minute but couldn’t put them away

I mention this on the Movie You Just Saw thread. I really enjoyed it. Nice little surprise in the normal movie dumping grounds.

I never watched Baby Reindeer, but Andrew Scott not winning is crazy.

That was real weird. Austin had no response.

Last photo- “buckle up, mother fucker”

Anyone been to Stamford Bridge? I'm going to London in a few weeks and want to go see a match. I've been following the team since 2012, but have never had the chance to see them live. Is there a way to get tickets, I know the UK is tough on scalping? Anyone have Todd Boehly's number?

Literally 2/3's of the show in the thread title make up the DZ. I have to assume there is some interest.

Smart to take a 3 score game and make it a 3 score game.

I read the book, so I’m curious how that episode worked for you guys?

Man, I miss The Granada. Saw so many great shows there and it’s a great venue. Now that The Parish is gone, I don’t think Austin has anything that measures up. Kind of disappointing.

Strange Darling - Small movie that the Alamo has been promoting. I think it premiered at Fantastic Fest last fall. I really enjoyed it. If you are missing the 80's/90's serial killer movies, I highly recommend this. 95% on RT, so it's been highly regarded, if not well known.

Ted brought a friend to the game! Losing-ass losers.

I really don't get this play from Netflix. Are they going to add that many subscribers for this movie? Especially after the last one was pretty disappointing?

Why are they shocked they went for it? ND knows that they’re facing Weigman, so they’re not worried.

She kept semi-pausing there because I don’t think she thought she would get that far without being cut off. Did well though and had the advantage of being true.

A UW kid hit one last year. I remember watching it. Quick one - every spring, we do a Napa trip with college friends and a couple friends of theirs. This year, the guy said his son was the UW kid who hit it (they are from Seattle). Pretty awesome story to break out.

I can’t remember the exact exchange, but when Statham tells the bad guy to get an estate attorney, I pumped my fist and was fully in until the end.

Money will get it done. From what I understand, Daltrey and Townsend stay in separate hotels, do separate sound checks and only see each other when they walk on stage. The next time they see each other is when they walk on stage the next time.

I’m really looking forward to these COVID years rolling off so I don’t have to watch DJ U play anymore.

Still going on Hitchcock and we are getting to the Stone Cold Classic portion of our program. I couldn't find Spellbound on streaming or at Video Vortex at Alamo Village, so I had to skip that one. I'll keep an eye out. Notorious - I saw this probably 20 years ago, so I wanted to revisit it. I could be wrong, but I think this is probably the first fully recognized Hitchcock classic. Putting Cary Grant and Ingrid Bergman together gets you a massive head start. Add in Claude Rains and you are cooking. Entertaining and tense throughout and the power dynamic changes throughout are a lot of fun. Cold ass ending too. Sorry, Sebastian. Rope - Hitchcock's first color movie is maybe his darkest yet. A couple of guys kill a classmate just for the entertainment and host a dinner party that night to see how far they can take it. One is just a sociopath and the other immediately regretting it. Really great and pitch black set up. The one shot style was a lot of fun too as the camera just wanders around the single room it takes place in, picking up conversations all over. Enjoyed this one a lot and Jimmy Stewart is in it to lift things, but too much Farley Granger. I think he sucks (more on him later). Definitely worth your 80 minutes though. Strangers on a Train - Another really dark one with one character being a complete sociopath. Two men meet on a train and one thinks they're doing a murder swap, but the other doesn't. How do you extricate yourself from that situation? Another great set up and it largely delivers. Having Farley Granger as the protagonist bums me out though. I don't get him at all. I Confess - I don't think I had even heard of this one before this project, so I can only assume it's one of the least appreciated films. After watching, I can see why. I enjoyed it, but it's not essential. Montgomery Clift is good and the moral question his character works through is interesting (can a priest out a killer who confesses in the church?). Karl Malden is the best part though. That guy was a pro. Dial M For Murder - The new leader in the clubhouse for my favorite on this project (though NXNW will likely remain my favorite Hitchcock). Almost all of it takes place in one room (like Rope), with long conversations throughout. You see what happens, but the fun is seeing how the antagonist worms out of it and how he is ultimately caught. Twisty and turny and a lot of fun. Plus, first Hitchcock movie with Grace Kelly, who is unbelievably beautiful. Really enjoyed it. BONUS The Conversation - Saw this earlier today at The Alamo and it could easily be a Hitchcock movie. Paranoia, femme fatales, betrayals, etc, etc. It is the Coppola classic I have missed, so I wanted to see it. It lived up to its' reputation. Really excellent. The sound design was very interesting and Hackman in his prime. I thought the resolution was excellent and unexpected. Coppola's '72-'74 run is incredible.

I really enjoy this show. It just keeps moving. It's great to put the closed captioning on for this one. It helps with the fast talking British and it picks up a lot of the background conversations that are really funny, especially with Rishi.
