Only two marvels in my top 100. The Avengers and Iron Man.

Just messing with you. I love both of those BTW. Batman is the only superhero that was ever making my 100 though.

Yeah, I decided no more sneaky Godoggo. Also, I often feel like I'm talking to myself. Especially when I'm all alone. :p

I just remembered a movie I want to rewatch for the horror challenge, Yellow Brick Road. Has anyone seen it? I think the only person I remember talking about it is Aktemple. It's so weird and it made absolutely no sense to me, but I really liked it too.

I just want to applaud this post. As a rap fan, I appreciate everything going on here. Obviously the homonyms (beard, beer, bear) are good, but what pushes this over the top is the double meanings of some of the words there. Beard and bear are both terms used in the gay community, and this makes this post clever. I approve of this post.

EDIT: and the internal rhyming is a nice touch. Wear, beard, beer, bear. Homonyms combined with "wear."

Try a "Divine" when you find them.... they are the sweetest apples ever and low acidity......

What is hard for me to find is the Satsumas and Sumos... I think they are in stores in late December thru late January......

I had my first "Divine" last spring.... the outside is like a Braeburn (which I dont like at all).. but the meat inside is amazing....

Hy-vee and Price Chopper is where I usually find my citrus fruit... however Hy-vee is amazing for rarities.... I remember once... my daughter and I spent over $15 for fruit... and we only got 5 things..... but then Dragonfruit and Starfruit can be costly at times....

It took me just a few minutes. Just to see how the sections were classified with that judge the organization and then see how people respond to each other to judge if the people are nice or what. The moment I saw a few members that have been here for over 7 years and still active I made my account.

But before I found this forum I went on looking for many others that simply were awful, not to mention a koreanpop one, I would've ended up traumatized if I didn't find this one, and all because I wasn't looking for a specific forums but just forums in general. Never again..

The other forums I joined that were movie related were a bit hostile. There's always that one person that if you dont get along with them... the rest of the "sheep" tend to follow their lead. One movie forum I joined, the moderator was jealous of my movie knowledge, so he made it a living hell for me to be there. They had dedicated a section of short films and such I had posted and once I left, he merged my postings into his dedicated section. The two owners really liked me (or so they said) but would never back me up on anything. The other forums I belonged to were "Historium" (I love history!) and "Poets of the Fall"'s forum (A Finnish Rock Band).

There is a guy on Historium who loves cinema, I should try to have him join here.

I played in a lot of competitive sports when I was younger. I played tackle, touch, and flag football.

I have a vivid memory of winning a game of flag football 2-0. I was the won who got the safety.

Of course I was much better at basketball. I was one of the stars of our 8th grade league. I was the highest scorer on the team.

But movies, books and music are art forms. I can understand admiring somebody's physical prowess in their chosen sport, but that's not even what most fans seem to care about. And hiking, birdwatching, baking, and collecting are activities that people enjoy participating in. I've yet to meet anybody who enjoys watching somebody else hike or birdwatch.

There is probably a hiking or birdwatching show that somebody watches, but that's beside the point. My point is just that it's a hobby the same way any of those things are.

When your watching professional sports you are watching people who are performing at levels that we cannot fathom. Most of us who played sports throughout our life knew someone who was an exceptional athlete. That person who seemed to be ten levels ahead of where the rest of us were. 99.9% of those people were not good enough to compete on the level we are talking about. If you didn't enjoy sports on any level you will probably never understand but it is definitely not the same as watching people hike.

Yes that's right, it was a serious question. Here in Scotland we have no idea what apples are. :facepalm:

:p

Well I'm no expert on apples, but yes, apples are fruit. They're closely related to pears, though I imagine if you don't know what apples are, you won't know what pears are either. They generally have a hard, crisp texture and range in taste from sweet to tart.

Here's a list of apple varieties http://www.orangepippin.com/apples

There are many different kinds of apples, but only a few are typically found in grocery stores here. It's quite common to see red delicious (which I think are grainy and disgusting, despite their name), Granny Smith (crisp and tart, my favorite), honey crisp, gala and golden delicious.

People most commonly just eat them raw, but also add flavor by dipping or coating them with cinnamon, caramel, peanut butter or yogurt. They're also popular as a pie filling. Apple juice is also commonly consumed, either chilled (usually straight but sometimes carbonated) or spiced and heated into cider (with or without alcohol). Apples are also ground up and made into applesauce, which is a popular snack with children, but is also used as a substitute for butter or eggs in baking, to reduce the fat content of whatever is being made.

If you didn't enjoy sports on any level you will probably never understand but it is definitely not the same as watching people hike.

has me compelled, but I am having a hard time seeing an exceptional athlete in action. Like, I can tell when an actor gives a great performance, you know? I can SEE it. I can't see an exceptional athlete playing sports really well. That might be why I'm not interested in them, if what you're saying is true.

Also, I simply have a problem with athletes getting paid as much as they do for what is essentially a game. That's always bothered me. As far as I know, hikers don't get paid millions of dollars to hike.

They get paid a lot of money because they make the people that pay them a lot of money.

I think understanding the game would help you appreciate why they are really good at it. I ooh and aah during games, because I notice those guys doing things I wish I could do.

I also appreciate the team aspect of football. As far as sports go, I consider football the game that requires the most strategy. Then you have to have all 11 guys on the field doing exactly what they are supposed to do. If they don't, then you have to have somebody making an exceptional play. I wish I could display some of this stuff to you in person, I can't really do it like this.

This is simple capitalism. Athletes get paid this much because people pay big money to these franchises to see them play. If people stopped coming and companies stoppes advertising, their pay would go down accordingly.

If it wasn't for the money, I probably would sound anti-sports (I try not to be). Sports/games, for many people, are lots of fun and also something they are passionate about. I like playing board and card games myself. People fighting over it is a minor irritant.

Have you ever thrown a football, Swan? It's easy to throw it 20 yards or so, and it's not that hard to hit a stationary target that's waiting for the ball. Throwing the ball to a moving target while anticipating exactly when he is going to make his cut or break and seeing where the defenders will be while you have at least 7 or 8 guys are moving in front and around you is a little more difficult.

Correct me if any of that is wrong.

The Broncos couldn't move the ball all game, because Tim Tebow wasn't a good quarterback. Then for whatever reason, the teams playing against him would play what is known as prevent defense. Which is essentially backing most of the defenders away from the line of scrimmage, giving Tebow space to run the ball. He was not a bad ball runner, so this helped him a lot. The Broncos won a handful of pretty lucky games, and Tebowmania ran wild. He did have a surprisingly nice pass against the Steelers though. Part of that was that Ryan Clark couldn't play in Denver because of some kind of condition though, and Ryan Clark probably would have been the man in coverage there. He was better than whoever was out there.

It's because they're tribal. It's that element that provokes these things. Well, partly, anyway. I think that's why sport, in general, appeals more to men than women and why the violence that you're talking about is almost exclusively male.

I've liked honeykid from the start.

I also don't see why people can't feel the same way by watching football that they do while consuming art. Games are often times dramatic, comedic, and can even be (somewhat) tragic.
Again, it's tribal. However, if you get 'into' the world of these more fringe/weird hobbies, you'll find plenty of aggro between different groups and the way things are done.

Well, sport and game is basically the same thing. Money is the difference, IMO.

I'm sure many of these people would call what they do a sport. Maybe they're right, but most would say it's a game. However, if it was a multi million pound business, I think most would try to call it a sport as a way of giving it gravitas or importance of some kind.

What else inspired you?“La Plančte Sauvage,” the soundtrack from this French animated film, “Fantastic Planet.” I think the composer’s name is Alain Goraguer. I was really feeling the melodies and the vocal textures. There’s a lot of references to it on my album, especially on “Siren Song” and “The Beyond,” which are like sister songs to me. Flying Lotus and I are total pals now. :highfive:

I wouldn't bother with a checkup at the doctor's then, if you have one scheduled. Sounds like you're normal and healthy by your standards. Breathing fine.

You might wanna schedule an appointment with a shrink, though. Ask Swan for a recommendation since he lives near you, apparently.



All of the movies I mentioned (including Quills) are nominees for the Mofo Fifth Hall of Fame, which I'm participating in. I actually ended up watching Unforgiven last night. I'll probably watch one of the foreign language nominees next.

I still don't think I would understand it or care about football. It's a game. That's all it is. A game that none of these crazy people are actually playing. Unless they've put bets on it, they have no real personal investment in the outcome. It's ridiculous how obsessed people get with this kind of thing. People even get into physical fights and sometimes even get killed because of disagreements about sports. It's absurd.

Miss Vicky how could you! Some people think football is a matter of life and death. I assure you, it's much more serious than that.

I think someone said that once ;)

If only adults (and kids) put the effort into knowing every detail of football as they would in real life, things might be different. And it just gets worse.

i missed the meat of the sports discussion, so i'll throw my thoughts in

I think the popularity of sports has everything to do with bragging rights, which has only increased with social media... Twitter, Facebook, etc. I'll use College Football as my example bc it is in-season

First off, to understand college football, you need to experience a game in person. If you've never been to a bigtime football game in Tuscaloosa, Alabama (the Crimson Tide), Gainesville, Florida (the Gators), Baton Rouge, Louisiana (LSU Tigers), etc. Then you will never understand via explanation. You come across loud, cocky, arrogant fans who are sure their team will win. If you're sporting your team's t shirt, random people will yell out *****-talk about YOU, your team, and players

I'm a Georgia fan, and our biggest rival is probably the Florida Gators. We play every year, but from 1990 through 2010, Florida won 18 out of 21 games. You simply do not understand how much ***** those people talked during those years. The Gator fanbase / coaches / players built up so much bad karma during all those years that Georgia fans could not wait to see our team shut the cocky Gators up. That's why the entire Georgia team had a party in the end zone after the first touchdown in 2007,

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m9qm8JROXWc

it was a priceless moment and day. Thousands of cocky Gators watched as Georgia pummeled their a$$ all day, even though they had Tim Tebow on their team. To understand sports is to understand the animosity that grows between rivalries over time

This is just one example. Sure, overall, it may be juvenile in a way, but so can anything. Even movie watching. I love both, probably enjoy movie-watching more at this point, but i still enjoy football. It allows me to spread my interests out into various places

I actually think sometimes there can be a similar dynamic comparing movies and sports. In the sense that new generations of sports fans come along and often don't appreciate accomplishments of past teams and players. LeBron James has his fanbase who think he is the greatest ever, and scoff and belittle the accomplishments of, say, Michael Jordan. Sometimes it reminds me of teen generations of movie fans who may rip any movie that is more than 20 years old, or in black & white, that kind of thing.

I do think movies can be more easily appreciated over time, bc a movie speaks for itself. Just watch it. Whereas to really appreciate the accomplishments of great sports teams & athletes of the past, you have to understand what was going on at certain points in time. Which you may not get from watching a highlight reel, you will probably have to seek out a documentary, and those may not recapture the full excitement that a great player or great team displayed

Soooooooo you just got me pumped up from watching that video. I am a huge Gator fan. Ahh I was so amped when you guys did that. We have lost our swagger of the Urban, Suprrier days. With those two at the helm we had the psychological edge over 95% of the teams we played, UGA being the prime example. It comes and goes as far as being good in college. I'll never worry about UF recruiting the athletes it needs, but it shows the importance of a college football coach. The team really reflects his personality. That's why Muschamp has to go, we have lost that cocky we are FLA swagger. I never worried about UGA when we had a chance to go to a big time bowl because I knew we had the swagger to beat UGA. Now UGA has the upper hand. Look at whats happen to Tennessee. Coach after coach and they were a powerhouse forever, still have great support.

Anyways I just wanted to say I hate UGA :). Funny thing about me is my dad uncle and cousin are all FSU fans. The other part of my family is from Knoxville. One cousin graduated from UT and my Uncle got his Doctorate from UT. And I ended up a Gator fan. Go Figure.

I am ready for hoops season thou!!!!!!

I know where Dalton is at. I went to college at LaGrange College, played hoops there, well didn't play much but I was on the team. Knew a couple people from Dalton. Obviously I am from Fla though, grew up here and now I am back. Still love going up to Atlanta however.

I have no idea what to expect with the Gurley controversy. Some are saying he may be back as soon as this weekend against Arkansas, others that he won't play for Georgia again this year, and will declare for the pros after the season

I certainly do not have any solid inside info

I live in Tallahassee, FL, home of the FSU Seminoles, to throw another twist into it. But i've always been a Dawg

oh yea, your Gators kicked the crap out of Georgia for years. Even after the Bulldogs got that win in 2007, your Gators got revenge by winning the next three contests- 2008 and 2009 by blowout knockout punches

We've got issues of our own at Georgia, just can't seem to get over that hump from perennially decent, to championship caliber football

By the way I prefer this Gator vs UGA highlight ;-)

It was done after that hit.

By the way how the hell didn't yall win it all that year? AJ Green, Knowshon and Stafford? The defensive side has always been your guys Achilles heel. If you guys were more consistent on that side of the ball you would probably have a couple championships. Even when Florida sucks are defense is usually stout that's what helps us. It's just if the offense is good enough and with Tebow it was ha.
