  1. Passing on a top 10 metro area for the least important program in the conference? Well, how long was the list of schools that the Big12 supposedly snubbed for WVU?
  2. Also lost Johhny Lujack at 98. In 1943 ND started 6-0 and the QB was randomly drafted into the service. Lujack took over as QB and won the 43 title, despite the choke @ The Great Lakes Naval Training Center. That was presumably their most famous game as they cancelled football in 1945. Never once saw Lujack in the Heisman House.
  3. I am riveted by the scene where the drifter walks in on the two women. Were they allowed to say 'rape' back then?
  4. One the of the most prescient episode of the original series, so far.
  5. I like to show this one on the airplane.
  6. I think I remember some real rinky-dink 'documentary' in the late 90s with live action dramatizations. I remember because they cast black people fighting for the south.
  7. Clearly the film industry needs a prolonged depression.
  8. Shifting walls means you have been in Vegas too long.
  9. I half agree with the too many action scenes criticism. I thought the first hour of the movie had too much action and those scenes had too many close ups of a shoulder. After that the story got moving and was more balanced.
  10. If the Houston metro area were its own state, it would rank in the top 15 for population with @7 million residents. San Diego appears to be just inside the top 25 metro areas with about half the population of Houston. And everyone knows San Diego is so expensive that you can't move there until your kids are out of school. They are in the conversation because the other schools in SoCal dropped football years ago.
  11. We argued about whether Elsa was a "Bond Girl." IIRC she just stands around Christopher Walken saying nothing. Unpopular opinion; if they were going to set it in the 1960s they needed to move beyond the Nazis. Nothing in the master plan was plausible even if you accept the pseudo-scientific time travel gizmo. Still a fun summer B+ popcorn movie. If you set the blockbuser bar at Raiders then you will be in perpetual disappointment.
  12. The characters seem to have gotten used to being teleported, so much that they don't talk about it.
  13. Both Arkin and Vigoda seemed to be immortal.
  14. MGM+TQI* keeps showing The Warriors and Full Metal Jacket about an hour before my bedtime. America's worst lullabys.
  15. I didn't know Metallica was that old.
  16. I think you may be right. The vague non-denominational 'purgatory' based on personal feelings: is likely where they are going. There are just too many dreams, ghosts, assorted horror tropes like bugs and music box for there to be much of a unified theory. Also, pretty face girl killer_with_a_heart_of_gold is the worst story line of the year.
  17. 2012 ND vs A&M would have been a good game. We had a defense that could handle one star player, just not a 5 star roster that knew exactly what we were going to do.
  18. Has any conference won a judgment for an exit fee and collected on it? To my knowledge the 'payments' were just a withhold of revenue.
  19. that really hung me up as I kept thinking can we pause linguistics class and get back to the aliens? I probably need to watch it with absolutely no alcohol.
  20. The IMDB message board had a strategy guide for Triangle. I will never forgive Amazon for destroying that board.
  21. One thing that made the trilogy fun was that the action scenes were largely believable. If any of Indy's stunts used special effects I did not notice. OTOH one of the chase scenes in Crystal Skull looked like a video game.
