Probably belongs on the movie thread but The Salvation is a fun watch, as is the Proposition. Also would add the Man from Snowy River.  These aren't American Westerns in the American sense.     

This is a damn good one

Thanks. I have been on the boards since 1997 when I was a student at Texas. We've spent decades as fans and board patrons feeling powerless to create any real change. The Internet, social media,

I work closely with a certain previously committed 5 star QB's father (hint: its Quinn Ewers, for those who haven't been following recruiting closely like I have) and chatted with him a bit this after

This may have been posted in the football thread - I'm not gonna look because they don't talk about cheese and westerns over there - but the NYT is buying the Athletic. Not shocking I guess given media consolidation but holy fuck what an interesting move. $550MM

I doubt there's ever been a moment where one of us hasn't been annoyed scrolling through pages of either bad, bad takes from football board mouth breathers, or cheese puns, or geography shit, depending on the day we're having or our mood. That's just going to be the skin in the game. But watching guys show up to the thread, who never contribute anything of substance, bitching about having to boo hoo read some words to find out info when there isn't any, all the while having years of history as a clueless poster who can't understand much of anything is...chef's kiss. So fuck it, let the good times roll. 

If it means I don't have to pay $9.95 across multiple sites to get the articles I'll read through the pages of CFS, McRib, and James Cameron talk. Seems fair to me.

Have to remember there is no real point checking this thread going forward until NSD2 for any possible surprises. This thread is a beating.

Dear Sark,

You may need to adjust your attitude! Now get off your ass and go get us a few A list D coaches and players. Shore up that side of the ball and things start to pick up.

And while we are at it, your 2021 midterm grades have come in:

Offense: C+
O coaches: A-
Defense: F
D coaches: Incomplete
Special Teams: B-
ST coaches: A-
Recruiting High School: A-
Recruiting Portal: B+
Support Staff: C

Hustle never sleeps. You are here to entertain us, never forget that.

Regards,
G.S.

p.s.
Fuck the off season!

Well it's at least humorous realizing that Billy Luicci is now partnered with the New York Times. Texags just loves them some NYT, I'm sure.

Watched Lonesome Dove on a recommendation somewhere.  Certainly a commitment for time but it was nice to see the combo of Tommy Lee jones, Robert Duval, and a freaking gorgeous young Diane Lane.

The best western ever made.  My favorite book and imo the greatest American novel.

We'll see how much longer that lasts with new people in charge. Athletic has never made a penny.

Not sure if I seen these listed, but these are two of my all-time favorites. Saw them both with my dad, at the theater, when I was a kid. Good times!

I too saw the Long Riders in the cinema back in the day with my dad.  Loved the real life brothers playing real life brothers.  And the cool slow motion bullet hits in the final battle.

The sons of Katy elder is pretty darn good. Not top 10 by any means but definitely an under the radar movie that should be watched. 

I haven't listed a top 10 because it would likely be riddled with a ridiculous amount of John Waynes movies that I personally love but are unlikely to make many top 100 lists.  Rio Bravo, Big Jake, The Commancheros, El Dorado, Sons of Katie Elder, Rio Lobo, War Wagon, McLintock, The Horse Soldiers, She Wore a Yellow Ribbon, Rio Grande, Fort Apache are all great watches...

Fuck all of you.

If some dares to accidentally post something about a '23 recruit in the '22 thread, they get shouted down by five posters in 2 seconds. If someone spends fifteen fucking pages about shitty movies, it is perfectly fine.

Just because nothing is going on doesn't mean you should fill the fucking thread with drivel. All that does is make it difficult to figure out when shit actually happens because you have to sift through 10 pages of faggotry and rambling.

When there is no rain for a few weeks, no one fucks up the rain thread with talk about movies and chicken fried cocks.

When no one posts food in the Shank thread, no fill the fucking thread with talk about harry goddamn potter.

There are threads for movies, there are threads for harry potter, there are threads for fucking cheese. Use those if that is what you want to talk about. Continuing to do it in this thread is stupid af.

 

it's all about picking your poison. in the last like week we have touched on

  • cheese puns
  • shitty $9.95ers
  • the state of LAX in Texas
  • Harry fucking Potter

but sure, let's draw the line at Westerns. i am sure we can all redirect this back to fucking Harry Potter if you want

No Fort Apache? The whole Cavalry Trilogy is really fun, to be honest.

Ehh, I'm more of a Star Wars guy.  Anybody watch that marathon the week after Christmas?

i just found out that Jazz in Star Wars = Jizz

https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Jizz/Legends

Quote

 

Jizz was an upbeat, swinging genre of music, most notably performed by Figrin D'an and the Modal Nodes and the Max Rebo Band. Other notable jizz bands included Bobolo Baker's All-Bith Band, Evar Orbus and His Galactic Jizz-Wailers, Hutt, Figrin D'an II and the New Modal Nodes, and The Sozzenels.

Subgenres of jizz included jizz-wail, aubade, and glitz. Also, the music form jatz was reminiscent of, or in some ways similar to, jizz.

 


 

this was a good read:

If you want to get an "ohhh shit I was not expecting that?" watch The Power of the Dog on Netflix.

Is it a western?  I have it in more in There Will Be Blood category, which is a damn good movie, but not a western.  Django is westernish and tops in my book.

I’m shocked by the collective classic western film knowledge of this thread. I just assumed I represented the surly majority as a fit 6’1 handsome melanated young man entering his mid 20’s. 

Well, you're certainly in line with the majority on self-awareness.
