If you can consistently boot it through the endzone like Joey Slye, you don't give the other team the choice of whether to take the fair catch or try to return it. That's still an advantage.
I will love these when we win in them, and hate them when we lose in them.
Aww hell yiss.
Fuck that, we already beat em.
It's being held up by the levitating arms and head. Duh.
People often put a donut on his tombstone. And of course they include the receipt.
Jazz cabbage. I am so stealing that.
I'll just be over here waiting for a Grand Admiral Thrawn movie.
How in the world has nobody said Leonard Part 6 yet?
I went back and watched that recently, and hoooooooooly shit is that one movie that hasn't aged well.
And how could I forget this gem?
Me too. The dinner table scene is forever etched into my brain.
I forgot With Honors on my first list. Cliched script about a bunch of jaded/naive college kids and a magical wise bum, written by a screenwriter who might well have never sat in on a real lecture, given the painful dialogue in every classroom scene. Yet Joe Pesci fucking owned that performance.
The Fifth Element is a damn good movie, and not just because of Mila Jovovich's dental floss outfit in the beginning. There are very few movies that have nailed the balance of dystopian, absurd, and completely believable futures as that movie.
Masters of the Universe. I still say the academy snubbed Dolph Lundgren.
The Way of the Gun. Mediocre heist movie script salvaged by an all star cast (Benecio del Toro, Ryan Phillipe, James Can, Juliette Lewis) and slick directing.
True Romance. Tarantino lite, before Hollywood had the balls to give him free reign. Would've been better if Christian Slater would have died at the end as it was originally written.
Four Rooms. Tim Roth plays a bellhop at a once glamorous hotel that's showing its age. The plot takes Roth's character to four different rooms throughout the course if one night, with each room directed by a different director. (Quintin Tarantino, Robert Rodriguez, Allison Anders, Alexandre Rockwell)
The Station Agent. Peter Dinklage plays a reclusive railroad enthusiast who inherits an old abandoned train station when his only friend dies. Very low budget, very slow pacing, excellent acting, but it tries just a little too hard.
In the Mouth of Madness. James Carpenter's most underrated film, and the closest thing we will ever get to an H.P. Lovecraft film adaptation. Campy as hell in places, but some of the visuals are horrifying in a way today's gross out torture porn will never equal.
Better Off Dead. John Cusack. Koreans talking like Howard Cosel. Attempted suicide as a running gag. A climactic ski pole sword fight. The 80s were fucking weird, man.
Biggity bam, the stage is toast, and we go smoke a bowl.
I still don't understand how Nothing But Trouble ever got the greenlight. They must have carted cocaine into the pitch room by wheelbarrow in the late 80s.
You fargin stanky bastige! You ice hole!
Also one of the best Star Trek movies of all time.
I think Dan Akroyd still hosts a radio program from the House of Blues as Elwood.
We need Big Tim to get drafted early and stick on a roster somewhere, to prove we can put DL in the League. We saw this year what having two legit DTs does for our defense. We need that to happen regularly.
My daughter has ADHD, and let me tell you, this strikes a chord with me. She is smart as a whip and one of the biggest hearted kids I've ever met (my dad-blinders notwithstanding), but by God when she has a way she thinks something needs to be done, neither hell nor high water will deter her from her course. It isn't just stubbornness, it's a clinical inability to extract yourself from your own focus and consider alternatives. Mad props to Wyatt for balancing football at a top 25 program and study at a top 100 university with that diagnosis.
My guess is there will be a line where returners will return the kick. Probably the 10 or 15, where chances are we'll wind up with better field position than the 25.
