    No kidding. Dittos for Kathleen Turner.

    You got me curious about Saban. In terms of winning percentage, Saban's at .792, but .880 at Alabama. Bud Wilkinson is at .827, but also had a 47 game winning streak. Knute Rockne was .881. All three of them coached over twelve years, so they turned over at least three complete rosters. Weird note while researching this. If Saban wins Monday, he'll be tied for total career wins with

    Henry VI Act IV, Scene 2

    That was the obvious.

    Forgive my lack of knowledge about the Houston Cougars, but what the hell does the hand sign mean, besides the obvious?

    Yeah. For every great comedy there were several "How to Commit Marriage" movies. Anyone remember that? Horrible comedy from the sixties with Jackie Gleason and Bob Hope. Only reason I remember it is because I was an usher in a theater where it was showing and had to see it 21 times. Especially before vhs, dvds and streaming, bad movies just disappeared after their theater run.

    I did it on the tailgate of a pickup. Does that count?

    I'd betcha the networks would shit a brick if they tried to schedule against the NFL. It would split advertising dollars.
  10. Richard Kimball
    True. But avoiding bowl games and the NFL has put them in a position of scheduling on a Monday night after the holidays are over. I've gotta be at work Tuesday morning, as do most people. Outside of Alabama and Clemson, nobody gives a shit who wins. As far as I was concerned, college football was over four hours after Bevo tried to gore UGA.

    Okay, gotcha. First, Judd Apatow. Yeah. I see his name associated with a project, and I know it's gonna be something I'm not interested in. This is a specific type of comedy designed to keep production costs down, and also, in my mind, associated with millennial (Lena Dunham) tropes of navel gazing. If you trace it back, I think you find it in a lot of Woody Allen films, and you could argue that Seinfeld did a lot of it. There tends to be a lot of self-flagellation in it, and whether it works or not depends entirely on the talent of the writers and the cast. It's not generally my type of humor, because I find it depressing, although I like some of Seinfeld's stuff.

    PETA exists to raise money for PETA. All they do is go out and do the most outrageous things they can think of to get publicity so crazy cat ladies, aging hippies, and raging soy boys will think they're edgy and send them money. You're spot on. Give them attention and they're happy.

    He didn't say it wasn't funny. He said you're an old fart.
  14. Richard Kimball
    That is a terrific point. I think, though, that some comedy stands up over time and some doesn't. The Stooges still works. The Andy Griffith Show and the old Bob Newhart Show still work. Happy Days and Laugh-In don't work, anymore. One of my students told me anyone that quoted Monty Python was automatically an old fart. Some of the new humor doesn't work for me, and some, I have to let settle in for a while. DeadPool was great for me from out of the gate. But Major League is always funny. "Hes got so much nose hair when he sneezes he looks like a party favor." BTW, there are college freshmen this year who weren't born when The Emperor's New Groove came out.

    Mila Kunis is, IMHO, the classic Hollywood celeb who cleans up gorgeous, but makes you fully understand what going to be with a ten and waking up with a four means. When she's dolled up, guys fight over her. When she's not, whoa!

    Sorry, not sorry. No captain pictures. Don't recall him ever saying anything or changing expressions, for that matter.
  17. Richard Kimball
    Hope it was the "most punchable faces" thread.

    One of the underlying themes of the movie was that the built up legends of the gun fights as told in Sal Rubinek's books were really just seedy bushwhackings. Then, during the majority of the movie, Little Bill won every fight by getting the drop on someone and beating the shit out of them while someone else held a gun on them or they were tied up. The two people that Eastwood and the kid killed were caught (in one case, literally) with their pants down. Then, at the end, William Muny gets drunk, rides into town, goes into a bar totally outgunned, and utters the line, "I've killed women and children. I've killed just about everything that walks or crawls at one time or another. And I'm here to kill you, Little Bill, for what you done to Ned." After everything was said and done, at the end of the movie, was the one real gunfight for him to write about. And it was totally true.

    They believe what they're paid to believe.

    You think that didn't already happen midway through the 3rd quarter? I'm sure aggy was singing that song by halftime.. Midway through the first, but yeah.

    Hey, Georgia was right. After they played Texas, Florida was still their best win.
