  1. Only made it to one game last year. I'll make at least that maybe one or two more depending on how they're doing/getting someone to go with me/my mood that day.
  2. Ditto on BIRD BOX. A QUIET PLACE was a much better film. I don't really think it deserves an Oscar, though, nor do I think horror or superhero films have been cheated of Oscars - can't really think of any that deserved it. Didn't really think SILENCE OF THE LAMBS was worthy either but whatever. Off topic but not sure how that picture of a bag shows up as my avatar.
  3. Yeah, Murphy's idea is problematic. You could also do a lottery for all teams that don't make the playoffs.

  5. The contorto is what makes that cover unique rather than a trotting-around-the-bases shot (with, granted, a nice smile).
  6. Of the Best Picture nominees: “Black Panther” - Not a fan of superhero movies. I'll probably get around to it. “BlacKkKlansman” - Not bad but not great. Nice that Spike Lee got a nomination but it's no DO THE RIGHT THING or MALCOLM X. “Bohemian Rhapsody” - No interest. Biopics are so not my thing. “The Favourite” - I liked it. The three women are all great especially Olivia Colman. “Green Book” - No interest. “Roma” - Really great. A few of the scenes of this movie are as good as anything I've seen in years. My choice. “A Star Is Born” - No, just no. “Vice” - I'd like to see it, will probably get around to it one day.
  7. What Lunchbucket says. MIDNIGHT BADNESS is clearly the better cover.
  8. When I was coaching the erstwhile poster Lenny Harris' baseball team, Ottavino's dad put on a clinic for coaching kids. At the time Adam was a hot-shot college pitcher who was drafted by the Rays (he didn't sign with them but signed the next year with the Cardinals). Anyway, the older Ottavino's clinic did teach me a lot but when he spoke about pitching it was always about Yankee pitchers, how Roger Clemens legs were the keys to his success (later we learned differently) and how Mussina's windup made all the difference. So, this offseason I always thought he'd end up on the Yankees. Still see the elder Ottavino around the neighborhood.
  9. I'm the other SNAKES vote (with Seo). I predict, however, that either of these would and should lose to the other bracket.
  10. The MIDNIGHT BADNESS picture is emblematic of so much of last season. The GOOD WIL! picture is emblematic of one nice night.
  11. ROMA was easily the best movie I've seen this year. Most other years as well. I'm probably forgetting a few but others I've liked: SHOPLIFTERS THE DEATH OF STALIN ISLE OF DOGS Others that I've seen that once I see more 2018 movies surely won't make any top ten of mine: THE BALLAD OF BUSTER SCRUGGS BLACKKKLANSMAN MARY QUEEN OF SCOTS
