    See, I thought that commercial was turrrrrrible. Different strokes, etc.

    McCloud knew the ball hit his teammate, but he's got to fall on it, not try to pick it up

    Best part of first half = minimal Taylor Swift cutaways

    What a POS.

    My son gave me a shirt with that line on it as a gift.

    Hey, Vasquez, have you ever been mistaken for a man? No. Have you?

    Yeah, Wind River was up there in '17 for me as well, as was Three Billboards.

    If TW is pushing it, I'm instantly suspicious.

    I probably should have at least mentioned The Revenant for 2015. Great movie. It got a little too metaphysical at times, but just the bear mauling scene and fight scene between Leo and Tom Hardy by themselves made it worth the price of admission, IMO.

    I kept one eye on the documentary while the wife was watching it and I was trying to get some work done. BJ is definitely in a lot of the archival footage, but I don't believe he was a present-day interviewee like Lionel Richie, Springsteen, Kenny Loggins, Cyndi Lauper, and some others. Funniest part of the doc was Waylon walking out when Stevie Wonder went off on his "we need to insert some Swahili words" tangent.

    These were my favorites (at least as much as I can recall), not necessarily the "best" as works of art. 2023 -- Oppenheimer 2022 -- Emily the Criminal [Banshees is a close second. 2022 generally sucked in terms of movies, IMO.] 2021 -- Belfast [2021 was pretty bad as well] 2020 -- Nomadland 2019 -- OUATIH/Ford v. Ferrari 2018 -- The Favourite 2017 -- The Post 2016 -- Hell or High Water [really enjoyed La La Land as well] 2015 -- Sicario 2014 -- Whiplash/The Homesman 2013 -- American Hustle

    Side note -- my understanding is that the families of the deceased victims as well as the other victims filed a civil lawsuit against the school district and certain school employees, but a judge dismissed the lawsuit in 2023. I've read differing reasons for the dismissal -- one article referenced governmental immunity and another one stated the judge found the alleged acts/omissions by the school employees weren't the proximate cause of the harm. That decision is currently on appeal. The victims had also sued the Crumbleys, but apparently dropped them from the suit last year in order to facilitate the appeal of the decision to dismiss the school defendants. I suspect the Crumbleys don't have much money to satisfy any potential civil judgment in any event.

    Band name is something of a misnomer. Nobody wanted to shag them, amirite?

    FIFY I don't mind any of their other songs, but the chorus of Zombie was nails on a chalkboard for me.

    My understanding is that the father bought the handgun for the son (perpetrator), so yes it does sound like it was a straw purchase given that minimum age to purchase a handgun in Michigan is 18.

    Been raining nonstop out here in Southern CA since Sunday. We've probably had 7+ inches of rain in my area since Sunday, and it isn't stopping anytime soon.

    "Know matter"?! JFC

    I went back through the thread earlier and I don't think Red Red Wine was posted, so that's a really good one. (Quite a few videos that were linked in the posts made years ago are no longer visible, so I'm not 100% sure about which particular songs have already been mentioned. But I'm pretty sure Red Red Wine wasn't listed.)

    OK, let's try to get this thread back on track. Most of the really good examples of "the cover is better than the original" have already been posted above. But I'm sure there are still some good ones out there. This first one -- I don't think it's better than the original, but it's pretty good. And it led me to the original (by Pulp), so I have a soft spot for it.

    Or that.
