I care. I'll be watching.

Everything everywhere all together at once was incredible and should win a ton of awards.

I watched Triangle of Sadness last night, what a fuggin crazy movie.

Top Gun was great, All is quiet on the western front is a good war movie.

Haven't seen the rest tbh.

The telecast is just too darn long.  There's no reason for them to joke every year about the length of the program. 

25 awards? 

  • Each speech is a minute, we're looking at 30m just for this.
  • The category/nominee list? If they can keep this to 90s total then that's about 45m.

Throw in some fluffy other material, and you're at a solid 90m by itself. Let's add 4 minutes of commercials every half-hour, and you're basically hitting the two hour mark.

There's no reason this needs to stretch more than 30m over that timeframe. No reason for the Oscars show to last longer than an NFL football game.

On the plus side, they let most of the recipients actually give reasonable speeches without playing them off this year.

Was able to watch the entire Oscars starting at 8p, pause it to watch the LAST OF US. Pause again to track down and watch one of the nominated Shorts -- and STILL catch up enough to watch the final four awards be given out live.

The wife and I watched The Whale last night.  Haven’t seen a movie that disturbed me quite like that in a while.  Definitely unforgettable.  Very, very tough watch though.  Fraser is incredible in this movie

Darren Aronofsky.

Requiem for a Dream still haunts mine...

 

"ASS TO ASS!!!1!"

You might find this crazy but I watched Requiem for a Dream last weekend for the first time.  I had no idea any connections at all.  I thought it was ok…but definitely interesting.  I must be used to disturbing movies cuz it was just meh.  The final scene with the girls bothers me mostly because of the jackel people in this world.  That can’t be fun to watch

I just found it super depressing, which was the point I guess. Watching the girl from Labyrinth, who I had a huge crush on as a kid, sucking dick and doing live sex shows to score drugs for herself and her loser boyfriend was just a huge bummer, haha.

      Trading Down Could be a Gold Mine in This Draft!!

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      This is why it's probably going to be hard to trade down. This draft is fairly light on top tier talent but pretty deep in talent of that next tier down. I don't think there's going to be a lot of teams clamoring to move up and numerous teams might be entertaining moving down. Not a good market to trade down if that's the case.

      And if they can't find a reasonable trade down (I think we would need a 2nd rounder this year bare minimum to make any trade down worth it). I would definitely expect Dan to trade UP for an EDGE or LB in the top half of R2. Just makes too much sense. We also have a plethora of mid round picks to use as ammo.

      I don't mean to make this a mock draft thread particularly,  but every time I do a mock I have been investigating the talent that goes off the board between picks 8 and our low 2nd rounder pick 57. There is a gargantuan amount of talent still left on the board in the top half of the 2nd round every time I do one. Losing our original 2nd round pick to the Bears as the last pick of the Bryce trade stings badly .  I'm particularly looking at elite players like Carson Schwesinger (LB), Luther Burden (WR), Matthew Golden (WR), Maxwell Hairston (CB) , Nick Scourton , Landon Jackson, Donavan Ezeraku (all DEs/OLBs) . The sweet spot in this draft really feels like pick 15 to 40 - ish. This is why the Bears should be making bank with this draft. I don't know how realistic a trade down is from 8, but if we could pick up any teams higher 2nd rounder and still grab their 1st? We'd be cooking with gas man.  Say for example we get Tet McMillan at pick 8, if you wait all the way to 57 you stand the chance of not getting any impact pass rushers in this draft. And I don't think this team can afford that.  I'd personally love for them to take a break from drafting wrs in R1 or R2 (i think we've taken one in the top 2 rounds in the majority of the past few years), and stick to repairing the nfls worse defense in history (in terms of total points against iirc, or was it yards? Also included my most recent mock as an example . Don't put too much into the  late round selections lol
