Aaaand once again Dar Adal proves to be more sniveling weasel than mysterious badass.

Brody almost made it out of the compound before anyone noticed that this untouchable dude was dead.

Seriously, the most guarded man in Iran had NO ONE GUARDING HIS OFFICE.
-
Am watching the finale now. Brody is leaving the office. Just walking out. May use this thread to liveblog myself going insane.

I love that, four months later, the title of this thread is still "The Photos What We Took of Us." Every time I see it pop up on the index, I read it like, "The Photos, What We Took of Us?" I'm Ron Burgandy?

I'm really interested to see how Texas plays this out now. Do they have the patience, and the confidence, to play the long game and wait until after the title game to talk to Jimbo and/or Gus? Or are they going to feel the pressure to move quickly, knowing that the longer they wait, more and more of their other options are going to fall off the board? If they choose to move quickly, watch out for Les Miles. There aren't many jobs he'd leave LSU for, but this is one he'd listen to, and this might be a "right place, right time" scenario for him. He's the biggest college name they have a realistic shot at, so he'd make a huge, face-saving splash.

Jameis Winston's Heisman speech might be the best argument yet for not giving the trophy to freshmen. Almost completely incomprehensible. The main thing I got from it was that his dad was out of work for a while and he, somehow..., had to help provide for the family.

Oh, man. Chip Brown is having the Worst Week Ever. Reported Mack Brown's resignation earlier in the week and was calling Saban to Texas a done deal all week...only for Saban to re-up with Bama and Mack to, for all appearances, remain the coach. Okay, that would be bad enough. But then today, he comes out with this hilarious article where he tries to cover up how badly he got the story wrong and spins a conspiracy theory that basically attributes the whole thing to Mack displaying Tywin Lannister-esque political gamesmanship and laments that Texas is doomed to at least another year of him as head coach. And then almost immediately Mack announces that he's resigning. Fuck that dude's life.

Hans Zimmer? Seriously? I mean, I generally like his scores, despite their increasing propensity for inducing migraines, but it's getting to the point where it seems like he's scoring EVERY big blockbuster movie. And how weird is it that that sounds more like a Superman song than anything he did for the actual Superman movie. -
Fixed that for you.

He was never taking that Browns job in a million years. He's not taking any kind of significant rebuilding job, which is why he's never going back to the NFL - those are the only jobs that will give him the carte blanche he demands. As for Texas, there is no realistic amount of money that Texas can offer that Alabama won't be able to match. Hypothetically, sure, Texas is so flush, they could pay him $15 million a year, $20 million even, and Bama would have to fold...But they can't really pay him anywhere near that much. If Texas had even given him $10 million, essentially doubling his then-current salary at Alabama, it would have triggered a massive shitstorm. Not only would that contract have faced massive opposition within the University of Texas itself, but it would also obliterate the current salary structure in college football, within a year skyrocketing salaries in the major conferences and further ghettoizing the mid-majors. The outcry would be off the charts. No, there is a very real cap on what Texas could offer him, and Alabama would go right up to the precipice with them.

LOL. Getting a head start on next year. I like it. People forget: It was the same shit last year with the Browns. Done deal. It gets more and more hilarious each time. And guess what? It'll be the same shit with a new team next year. Done deal. But the story is always going to end the same: he'll be at Bama. He's not going anywhere. There is one very specific scenario that would entice him: An NFL team with 1) a hands-off owner who will let him call all the shots on everything, and 2) a proven veteran QB already in place. That last one most importantly. He learned with the Dolphins that you can't hide your QB in the NFL, and he's not going to make the mistake he made the first time, giving up the monster he built to roll the dice in the pros. Of course, the problem is that NFL teams with proven veteran QBs tend to not be in the business of hiring coaches very often. And when they do, I can't imagine they'd feel the need to put themselves over the barrel for a guy who wasn't exactly a smash hit the first time around the league. So realistically, he's just going to be at Alabama forever. So get used to it.

Venom makes sense, but I'm not really sure how a Sinister Six movie would work.
-
I guess Mike missed RAPTURE-PALOOZA, otherwise that definitely would have made the list.
-
I don't recognize all of these titles, but there is at least one straight-to-DVD movie on the list. Lol. Compare that one to CHILDREN OF MEN.
-
Oh, man. Every time I look at that list, something new jumps out at me. Apparently THE ADJUSTMENT BUREAU is an action movie. You know, the one where Matt Damon struggles to reconnect with his true love while being menaced by those most fearsome of adversaries, John Slattery and Terrence Stamp in magical fedoras. (Do I need to spoiler box the magical fedoras?) Totally badass.

The only thing all those movies actually have in common is that they weren't produced by Marvel Studios.

If it's not an elaborate troll, then it's one of the worst examples of incoherent list-making I've ever read. There is a movie where the President of the United States fires a rocket launcher on this list of "movies that take themselves too seriously."

I'm only 15 episodes in on ARROW, and I feel confident saying that SHIELD is way worse. ARROW has it's share of issues, but it seemed to have a clear idea of what audience it was serving and what show it wanted to be from the beginning, and it largely succeeds at being that show. On the flipside, SHIELD is such a muddled mess that, as mentioned, even when they do things that are technically right, it still feels wrong, and as a result, it doesn't seem to please anybody all that much. I mean, the most ardent defense anyone can mount for it is, "C'mon, guy, it's not that bad."
-
Dudes. I finally really looked at this list, and its such an obvious troll. At the very end, he has two COMEDIES (The World's End and This Is The End) on his list of joyless movies that take themselves too seriously. And that's before even debating whether a movie that features neon aliens fighting giant robots while characters preposterously named "Stacker Pentecost" and "Hannibal Chau" spout dialogue ripped straight from Saturday morning cartoons could every qualify as "overly serious."
-
The Globes are ridiculous, but I'm glad to see them recognizing the great Cory Stoll for his role on HOUSE OF CARDS after the Emmys snubbed him. Also digging the unexpected MASTERS OF SEX love, but Lizzy Caplan should have been nominated along with Sheen. Meanwhile MAD MEN's spiral continues. It must be driving Matt Weiner INSANE.

PRIMER and THE ROAD are action movies?

I don't know. Arkansas State seems like the hot new stepping stone job. This will be their 4th coach in 4 years, with the previous 3 coaches landing HC gigs at Ole Miss, Auburn, and now Boise. I'd take that gig.
