Somebody made a good point about this being based on a game that focuses on two characters, so it's likely any friends they make along the way aren't long for the world.

She may have been out of rounds by then.

I seriously wonder if ants can think/reason in a way that's similar to our conscious reasoning, or if it's all programming and they're not sentient at all, which of course begs the question how sentient is energy/matter that's programming them, and all life, I suppose. I watched a video (and at this point I can't recall if it's on this thread or another board) and it showed an ant getting infected by the cordyceps fungus. Another ant drops what he's doing--seems like they're on some job or other 24/7--picks up the infected ant in his pinchers, carries his ass waayyyy the hell away from the mound, and then dumps him there so that he can't infect the collective. "Sorry, Doug, but can't have you spreadin' that shit around. Nice knowing ya." Which reminded me of another video I saw where an ant colony herds these huge caterpillars around--they take them out of the colony and up to the surface to munch on whatever they need, and then herd them back--because they need something the caterpillar secretes. Near the end of the caterpillar's cycle, they don't kill them, they march 'em off to a tree somewhere so they can build a cocoon and become a moth/butterfly/whatever. I suppose so that they can create more future caterpillars. Easy to go down a rabbit hole learning about ants. Sorry for derail.

I'm one minute into Nocturnal Animals (never seen it) and WHAT THE FUCK

I've been on an NFL Films binge since somebody mentioned them on one of these threads. If you're old enough, this is just beautiful. Ah well, fuck YouTube. It's about Don Meredith.

Tyrone fucking slays me.

Well that's just wonderful fucking news. I think I'm gonna have to watch Snatch again tonight. It's time.

Well that's great news. The first season was not at all what I expected, and it was pretty damn good.

I watched that one not long ago and enjoyed the hell out of it. I wish Ritchie would turn out more of those. In back to back nights, watched: Amsterdam: This movie was kind of strange. Didn't recognize Robbie at first. The Menu: This was absurd. Couldn't look away, but just absurd.

Lighting the exterior night shots

Was Wepner the Bayonee Bleeder? I believe he's the boxer that actually sued Stallone, wanting compensation for being the inspiration for the story.

She wasn't expecting to go and live in the African bush. It was reasonable to assume that his home in America would have running water.

Randall Tex Cobb is an exception, but otherwise yeah, the Rocky movies are beyond absurd in that respect.

It's always true that both teams play on the same field, but it doesn't mean the fucked up field impacted the game exactly the same for both teams. (Keep in mind, I'm glad KC won). It's inexcusable for the Super Bowl to have a shitty field. It's just beyond inexcusable.

Not sure if you've noticed, but Cowboys fans enjoyed the hell out of this game and its outcome. The same way all fans do when they see teams they hate lose. I'm lost as to what you think they need to "cope" with in this instance. Who's your favorite team?

Yeah they did a nice job with that surprise.

I started reading The Witching Hour again as I haven't read it in maybe 10 years, and dear God it just reinforces the obvious. This show is so awful there's no way to quantify it.

I think I was 16 when III came out, and Clubber Lang scared me. When he beat Rocky I was shattered. I loved how Apollo was such an incredible trainer he not only increased Rocky's 40 time, he made him faster than Apollo. I probably watched III a hundred times because I loved watching The Rock get his revenge against Lang. I didn't enjoy IV as much as most apparently do, despite how much I hated and feared the Soviet Union (I was born in 1966. Grew up thinking the Soviet Union was a constant threat in my everyday existence). Seeing Apollo twitching on the canvas was disturbing as hell. I really, really groaned at making Drago's son the antagonist in the recent Creed film. The first one's the only real exercise in cinematic art. Terrific screenplay and hell of an acting job by Stallone. And I still get a chill whenever Rocky knocks Apollo down in the first round. "He don't think it's a damn show. He thinks it's a damn fight." still gets hell-yeah, as well. Shire is lovely. Making her look homely was pretty impressive. I thought her wedding scenes in The Godfather were angelic, she was beautiful.

Eggggggggsactly.

That would make more sense. I assumed that highlight was coming off the line of scrimmage.

That right hand must be really grabbing jersey because I never see anything else that's egregious enough to call defensive holding here. Whatever he's doing with his left hand isn't impeding the receiver in any way. So it's gotta be a tug that we're shielded from seeing.

Have you been on this site before?

That late penalty aside, that great Philly D got worked the entire second half.
