  1. Not a director, and not a movie, but I always get a kick out of Patrick Stewart's love of Beavis and Butthead. I think he called it one of the most brilliant works of satire of the 20th century.
  2. Oh, I did not get you wrong, my friend. Just as an additional side note, Jackass movies in the theater are totally survival of the fittest. For all three Jackass flicks, there has been at least one person who has walked out disgusted. Like, what the hell did you expect?
  3. If being good and going to heaven means that I can't like Bad Grandpa, then fuck it, I'll be terrible too. I love watching Jackass movies in the theater. It's so comforting and cathartic knowing that you're in an auditorium with 300 others who have a sense of humor and are comfortable in knowing that their ticket to hell was punched a long time ago.
  4. Oh for fuck's sake. I usually think your schtick is funny, but you're fucking reaching now. You're overcompensating for not having CM Punk to talk shit about. EDIT: I think Cap is a boring movie, but goddamn, in no way is it the worst comic book movie ever.
  5. I agree with you. You do know that there is one more season after this though, right? Or is that what you meant? As usual, I have no idea how they go beyond this season, but I've been saying that for the last couple seasons. Regarding Opie's death, it was a huge blow, but when you think about it, it made sense. He had nothing left. This club that he went to prison for and probably would go to prison for again was responsible for the murder of his wife and father, without his wife he couldn't see himself as a father and there was no way Lyla could fill that void, and he knew that the cycle would repeat itself until he was dead. His story met its logical conclusion, but I felt like they were trying a little too hard to pull off another "Lem," which is still the most traumatizing end I've seen for a character. One of my favorite unsung characters on TV, and he gets unexpectedly...yeah...
  6. That depends on the QB, but I will say that the Bears biggest problem in that Superbowl was our unwillingness to tweak the Cover 2. Peyton exploited us with 5 yard dump passes pretty much the entire game. The truly great QBs always picked Lovie's Cover 2 apart, but it didn't help that Tony Dungy was on the other sideline. I will always remember that Superbowl for the mark out moment I had when Hester returned the opening kickoff. It was primarily the second half. The Bears D checked out at that point not being able to see that Manning was going to run the same play 9 times in a row.
  7. Searching for a Friend for the End of the World is fucking depressing. I'd rather watch the end of The Mist on a loop before I watch Searching again.
  8. LOL, UnfitForChildren.org...Get the fuck outta here. With this, and the Deadspin article, I feel like we've gone back in time.
  9. Specifically the Culinary Union. Because they demand the Fertitta hotels in Vegas go union. Have they ever asked what the employees of the Fertitta hotels think? I haven't read the article and I didn't even think the Culinary Union would have been the culprit because I thought their sphere of influence didn't extend outside of New York. Whoever thought a freaking Culinary Union would wield so much power to potentially screw up cards and prevent UFC from entering New York state.
  10. And ultimately, it's Johnny's game to lose. With Wes channeling Chet's physique and athleticism, along with Dunbar's personality, I think Frank winds up being the stronger partner between those two teams. I wouldn't be at all surprised if Jordan and Marlon snuck in there, though. Aside from the blow up with Marlon, that team, along with Johnny, have been fairly quiet this season as far as screen time goes. It always feels like the less you're on TV, the more likely you are to go to the finals.
  11. This season has had a lot of annoying bullcrap. First there was the one girl who went home, but instead of sending her partner home, they bring in freaking Cara Maria. Then, when another one of Sarah's partners goes AWOL, and she gets sent home AGAIN. This leads to the SWERVE where they have a week where no girls get sent home. That was either preceded by or followed up by the dumb, dumb, dumb duel where Preston and Knight win because Knight goes prone on the ground. I mean, good strategy, but is the group coming up with these contests at all experienced in game theory, or do they just come up with this shit in between bong rips? To follow everything else up, hilariously, Leroy and Ty nearly get sent home because Theresa and Nany are REALLY STUPID. If you're going to throw away a vote, but you know that you want a specific team to go into a duel, THEN VOTE FOR THAT TEAM. Idiots. However, they're saved from elimination because of a ridiculous technicality. I have a feeling Zack would have been sent home anyway from launching his helmet like a rocket. Leroy and Ty...I like them as a team, but I think they will be the guys to always be a more important feature of the house, and less of a threat as far as challenges and duels go.
  12. I wish I didn't know about these websites. $10 for a tee is awesome, especially when there's designs like this: https://www.riptapparel.com/graveyard/yin-yang-tommy/ That is a fucking sweet design. As a 32 year old, I would feel a bit silly wearing it. On the other hand, my day is chock full of sillyness as I entertain my daughter, so maybe I'll just say fuck it.
  13. Well, let us all at least be thankful that McCarver is retiring. If only Joe Buck could take an early retirement.
  14. Someone is being a dick. Way to wait a week before the goddamn fight.
  15. Now I wonder how much money Bruce made for doing Looper.
  16. How am I talking about Hannah? I'm talking about that chick that Angel's sister was trying to hook Dexter up with and I wasn't being remotely serious. On that note, how could you possibly mistake any of that goofy bullshit riffing as me being serious about this show?
  17. I'm actually surprised NBC didn't make a big play for ACC broadcast rights given the connection to Notre Dame.
  18. That's what sold the angle for me. I watched him do the Parka strut. Figured it was Parka and then he hit the Diamond Cutter and unmasked it was 200% gold. You aren't kidding. It was one of those rare moments where I was legitimately surprised. So awesome. Great interview. I wound up shedding a few tears when DDP told the story about how he called Macho on Thanksgiving.
  19. I'm still surprised CBS has a sports network. How many viewers do they even get, 28? It has to get less viewers than G4. I have the second highest tier with Directv and I think I came across it once somewhere in the 600s or 700s. That's typically where the multiple CSN channels are at, and I think Fuel is in there as well. I think we'll know how serious providers are about FS1 or NBCSN depending on where each channel is placed. On my Directv, all of the ESPN channels are in the low 200s, which is where all of the other major cable networks reside. It would be very, very interesting if FS1 wound up as channel 209, while the 5 ESPN channels occupy 204 - 208.
  20. The Newsroom is SOOO bad. Just, ugh, just awful. Truly awful. As for Ray Donovan and the lack of humor, I see what Mag 7 is saying. The first episode was rather humorous in a dark comedy sort of way. Mickey's behavior was so creepy and outrageous it was almost funny. Ray himself displayed a dry sense of humor. Ezra was quirky and eccentric. Since then, Mickey is just a grade A creep and there's nothing remotely funny about his actions. Ray has the grim reaper's sense of humor. And Ezra is not quirky and eccentric, he's slowly slipping away, depressingly so too. I think the intent is to have these characters do funny or off things, but they're almost too effective in making the lives of each character so bleak and it completely washes away anything that you could find humorous in an irreverent sort of way. I still like the show a ton. It's really compelling and interesting, but yeah, it's not going to cheer you up. And Low Winter Sun sounds like The Shield. I'm in.
  21. Yeah, but Sam Kinison? In any event, if the writers and director do a good job, imagine how many minds will be blown if his religious history is covered in full.
  22. Barrett dropped a nicely audible f-bomb right as his face was in the camera.
  23. I wish I didn't read that. Now I'm even more aggravated. The writing in the last few seasons hasn't bothered me that much. I could complain about how formulaic the show was and how the writing was lazy, but I still thought it was better than a lot of other shows, so long as the last season would wrap things up well. This season has been a complete fuckshitstorm of the worst of this show. Debra has PTSD, IMMEDIATELY HAS FREQUENT AND RISKY SEX WITH CRIMINALS. Do these writers even understand what PTSD is? Dex finds out he was manipulated and turned into a monster, DECIDES TO DO THE SAME TO ANOTHER PERSON. Quinn is best buds with Dexter, LATER HATES DEX BECAUSE DEX SEES HIM POCKETING CASH. Quinn has evidence of Dexter being a killer, FALLS IN LOVE WITH A STRIPPER, DON'T FALL IN LOVE WITH STRIPPERS. Quinn is buds with Dexter again, SHOWS EARLY SIGNS OF ALZHEIMER'S. Angel is all, "be a Sgt., bro, take the exam!" to Quinn and later can't make a decision and hires someone else showing he is the worst fucking friend in the world. And probably within the last couple episodes, Dexter is actually watching his kid instead of dumping him on Angel's sister all the time. No wonder your kid lies to you. You're never even around to take care of him because you're off killing someone. Oh, and you nearly developed a serious relationship with another serial killer who poisons her victims. Jesus, what happens when Harrison throws a big temper tantrum or never cleans his room or says shit like, "You're not my MOM"? She probably puts some flower poison in his Gogurt or Capri Sun, that's what. That's it. The only suitable end to this show is Doakes showing up after faking his death, going deep undercover with the FBI.
