  1. The original is on Max as well right now. Watched it on Sunday after not seeing it for years. Lots better. Truly a late-70’s time capsule with David “Hutch” Soul’s shaggy hair, turquoise jewelry and wide collars, an ingenue Bonnie Bedelia 10 years before Die Hard, Dynamite Magazine favorite Lance “James at 15” Kerwin, St. Elsewhere’s Ed Flanders with a bad toupee, and a straight man (as in, non-comedic) Fred Willard as the philandering real estate agent Larry Crockett who gets caught in his silk red boxers by George Dzundza (Deer Hunter, Season One Law & Order). Vampire effects were better than you’d expect for that era and budget. The only thing a little off-putting was the town they used for filming was in Northern California and there are several shots where you can see the Pacific Ocean in the background. The town in the 2024 version may be the best thing about it.
  2. Agree. Watched it last night. It felt rushed through the events of the story. The drive-in setting for the closing act was an interesting twist, but it just became like an action movie at that point, which isn’t really what this story is. The Straker character was more weird than menacing, and never was going to live up to James Mason or Donald Sutherland, who played the character before him. I did like the location they used, it very much conveyed the small New England town setting of the story, and I like that they set it in the 70’s rather than update it to the present day.
  3. Is that 11 am start time for the Arkansas game locked in? Huge help to us if it is.
  4. That’s just it. DM doesn’t run a lot of college football stories at all. But a ho-hum win merits a story on their main feed when Arch is the QB. He’s getting us good PR in places that other schools don’t reach.
  5. Holy shit that kid is good. I remember @closetojumping saying during recruiting he was hearing Williams would be the best WR in college football right away, and it’s hard to dispute.
  6. The Daily Mail loves this kid: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/college-football/article-13903141/Arch-Manning-Texas-blowout-Mississippi-State-Peyton-Eli-nephew-backup.html
  7. Liking the running game much better in the second half and Arch has been outstanding. Gotta win your clunkers and this was definitely a clunker.
  8. It’s their 30 carries for 115 yds in a half that concerns me. That kind of running game wears on a defense in the second half. We really need a score coming out after halftime to take them out of that game.
  9. I don’t know how he can’t know the playbook after three years in the program, but I agree with how you describe his running today.
  10. Running the ball and stopping the run. Not SEC-ready.
  11. Agree. Make him wear #83 until he starts playing better.
  12. Michigan doing dumb things with the clock
