Avatar: Fire and Ash
Saw it yesterday at the Bullock Museum in Austin. 3D IMAX is the way to go for this film. As noted, the storytelling was mediocre to decent. What it lacked in plot and character development, it more than made up for in visuals. The Miles Quaritch and Spider characters were annoying as hell, but I was able to soldier on :). The aerial and underwater scenes were fantastic. Recommended, but it is far from a perfect film.

Texas Roster 2026
A bunch of items conspired to contribute to IU’s success in the past 2 years. Very good coach focused on attention to detail; portal; deep NIL pockets; weak Big10 schedules. 2024 - SOS = 35. Losses to Notre Dame and Ohio State, their only ranked Opponents. 2025 - SOS = 28. Undefeated. Beat 3 (at the time) ranked opponents: Illinois (9), @Oregon (3), tOSU (1). IU is a better team this year, but they drew powerhouses like Purdue, MSU, UCLA, and Wisconsin in conference this year. The OOC schedule of Old Dominion, Indiana State, and Kennesaw State is quite underwhelming.

Texas Roster 2026
Consensus of many mock drafts has Goosby at #40. That site is a good aggregation of the mock drafts... It tracks 73 mock drafts for Goosby. 31 of them have him in the first round. Some of them involve the same person at different times during the year. Unscientific and most of those guys know as much about football as some of our weaker posters.

Netflix Recommendations
Based on the comments here, I started this yesterday - and finished it in one sitting. It was fantastic. Highly recommend Death By Lightning.

RIP Bridget Bardot
"banger" is either (1) an excellent or memorable song with an energetic beat or (2) a sausage. Is it memorable w/ an energetic beat? Maybe. A sausage? Maybe. Definitely not excellent. The post is foolish, as only 13 of the ~53 people mentioned in the song were alive when it was released in 1989. 36 years later, it's amazing that 3 remain. Bob Dylan (84), Chubby Checker (84), and Bernard Goetz. (78)

Tell Me About Texas a&m
I think I found the rankings article from "Covers" (whatever that is). Texas A&M is #7 nationally. I think I understand ASU and UCLA and maybe UCF, FIU, and UF. Lots of attractive humans. Harvard because, "Hey look, I am at Harvard!" All of the others seem to be in the "we have a lot of students and alumni who overuse instagram" category. Edited to add: MSU is touting this as proof of a "picture perfect campus."

The movie you just watched
Saw both Nuremburg and Song Sung Blue in the past week. Enjoyed both of them. Both had Rotten Tomatoes scores of ~75% from the professionals and over 95% from the audience. Jackman and Hudson were fantastic in Song Sung Blue. Great acting, really pulled you in, and the singing was stellar. The chemistry between Crowe and Malek in Nuremburg was compelling. Great acting all around, as one would expect from this cast. Actual concentration camp footage shown at the trials was also showed in the movie. While I have seen it before, it is never easy to see it. Recommend both.

Houston Texans 2025 Season Thread
My goodness, this postgame crew is bad. It is amazing (and impressive, I guess) that they are able to get paid for it. We could take 3 random people from this thread and there would be more insightful and interesting commentary.

Of course. My snide comment was assuming they'd get one of those "play no one worth a damn (except tosu) in 2026" Big 10 schedules. And I was wrong - in 2026-2027, they drew all 3 of those top teams - in addition to OU in 2026 and Texas in 2027. So - w/ or w/o Sherrone, they looked to have many losses in those years. 2028 will feature a more favorable schedule and the turnaround will be complete.- Citrus Bowl, Dec 31st - Texas vs Michigan.
Did not score a TD. We're screwed.- Foo Fighters or The Killers?
What is awesome about music is that each song can impact each person in a unique and personal way. Nostalgia, chord progression, vocals, lyrical relation, virtuosity, mix, production, etc. As such, "this band is better than that band" kinds of comparisons are very personal. There are some songs by each of these bands that resonate with me. Some because of the stories they tell; some because of the vocals; some because they allow me to just let go...- Sherrone Moore's Michigan Meltdown - Staffers, Breakups, Extortion, Cover-Ups, Firings, Knives, Assaults, Breakdowns, Arrests
True. You have to sign a guy to at least 4 years to convince recruits, etc. that there will be some level of coaching stability, though. His deal is 75% guaranteed - 3.75 years. He's there for the cleanup and transition, which is a 3-4 year plan, IMO. If they dump him after 2 years (which I doubt will happen), they'll owe him another $14mm or so. Decent deal for both sides. - Tell Me About Michigan
