The guy's lawyer (who probably should not be saying anything until he has reviewed all the evidence) is claiming that the Batties fired the first shots.  

So both sides were carrying and then it was a shootout? 

I guarantee that every college if not HS kids have been told to make good choices, and yet this stuff keeps happening. 

Any updated news?
 

"Injured" and "critically injured / shot in the head" are potentially vastly different. No gunshot to the head can be taken lightly. Tragic news. Thoughts go out to his family and friends. And to lose his brother... damn. 

(And weird take to toss in the '2 things open after midnight, hospitals and legs' when there was a shooting at a Hookah bar.  ) 🤷🏻‍♂️

The Ready Player One scenes at the Overlook were a great homage to the movie. 

Congrats to him and his family. Sort of surreal to have been in the stands to see his dad step onto the field to spark a comeback IB win and then FF to now when his son's had a wild career at 2 universities and then gets drafted in the 1st round.

And equally important, how much pizza has been consumed. 

Big time here. GxK was entertaining, but to be honest, Godzilla - 1 was far more my speed. I'm glad the Legendary monsterverse is doing well, but I'd prefer to see it not go all Transformery with the action. 

But at least TOHO has my back. 

(And still waiting for the Stranger Things crossover) 

Any updates? I'm assuming no new news is good news, but just was wondering if there were any updates. Hope she's on the mend and fully recovers. 

Always follow the ball. 

Always.

If you have ever been around him he is a jerk when he has too much  to drink.

That can apply to anyone. Even me. 

Not going through all pages , SIAP,  but here are a few I think may get overlooked 

Can't vouch for where to find them, and some may have to be bought outright, as they're pretty good 1-2 season long gems. 

Freaks and Geeks

Wonderfalls. 

John Doe

Pushing Daisies 

Farscape 

In lieu of an actual GvK trailer, this - 

ATL's bye-week has come and gone, and Arthur Blank's words still are as confusing now as they were when he first spoke them concerning Dan Quinn's future. 

Or not, if you're resigned to the reality that Blank and company aren't going to make any sort of a move, because they've convinced themselves of how smart the " Upper management " for the Falcons is and they just need to do MORE of what they're doing, because … they should have won the Super Bowl ? IDK what else to think. 

Blank declaring right after his team went to 1-7 that they have " 2 weeks " to think about things is truly stunning. No, Arthur, you have 2 weeks until Atlanta plays another game. That's NOT the same as how long you have to figure things out. Now you have just one week, and what's changed ? 

Injuries were the scape goat last year. What's the excuse for getting blown out,  time and time again, and in the midst of a 6 game losing streak ?

Speaking of Joker, has anyone seen it yet? Any good?

Meant to post this, kept forgetting....

I thought Joker was one of the best made movies I've seen in many years. That's not to say it was one of my favorites, but rather, I still can attests to it being very well done, extremely well acted, and quite a refreshing change from the ' amusement park ' huge budget movies we've been fed now for the past 10+ years. 

I read this on another forum, by some poster, not a  film critic. It summed up my views nicely, and I think captures the feel of the movie. 

If Joker were a painting, it would be a Picasso during his Cubist period. Distorted but familiar. Sad but you can’t look away; much like a car accident - we just have to see: did anyone get hurt. This is how Joker lives, on the ugly side of life. But it’s fascinating. It is so well written, not a wasted word or a wasted scene. And, above all, NO preachy dialogue

We were undefeated in November '87 going into the big home game against the one-loss Seminoles. Can anyone recount what went so wrong in that loss? Were they really that much better than us?

Coming off an emotional stomping of the Gators ( remember the heartbreaking loss in Gainesville in '86, when we were up 17-0 but ended up losing 18-17... ) and right in the midst of Amen corner, it was just one of those games. 

And then Tracy Rocker, unbelievably still in the game late, for absolutely no reason at all , gets his knee injured and is done for the year. Think he'd have had some impact in that Syracuse game, but oh well. 

Spiderman: Into the Spider-verse is a very good flick. 

1st time I've heard of this band, but yeah,  the singer crushes this song. 

A seasonal offer... 

Juco always seem like an act of desperation. Sure, we've had some players make an impact, but those seem to be few and far between.  These numbers seem rather low, but I guess we're in a bit of a  youth heavy status ? 

I've focused less on recruiting this year as I had in years past. Sounds like while AU didn't land a few really needed / wanted players, the class still is one many others in the SEC wouldn't mind having.  3rd best in the conference, and room to add 1 or 2 more, should something develop. Nice that 8 are already enrolled, so the next step is to get the rest in, situated and ready to hit the field.

If they are in state & committing to AU or Bama I'm sure it can easily be done.

Hats off to all involved. Seriously, that was some quality video for some HS kid who's not played a down in college. They played the 'family' stuff just right, and it doesn't hurt that S.J. comes off as pretty darn impressive. Hope the best for him. 

Congrats to  Shedrick and WDE. Gotta ask though...that's some video. Who puts something like that together ? I mean, I see 'AL.com studios', but does every 3 star prospect get one of those ? 

Been hearing this tune a bit lately. Dunno why. 

Can't find the mtv produced video, with the full WW2 mini-movie, but here's this - 

Caught up on LEGION. Still not 100% sold on it yet, after 3 episodes.  Certainly more 'adult' than anything Marvel's done on t.v.  ( Not including the stuff on Netflix )

Aubrey Plaza , in more of a bit role, is fun to watch. And Jean Smart is looking surprisingly well preserved. 

Man seeking Woman is more of a FXX guilty pleasure sort of viewing. Much like Archer.
