    Never a head coach. Obviously some of them have been worse people (starting with Paterno on down). But in terms of their *coaching* ability. Calling you "the new Mike Riley" is calling you "Fredo Corleone."

    Worst Steven Spielberg movie

    I thought Leo's character in that film was at least partially a self-parody. Middle-aged frumpy loser dad who used to be cool and do awesome things. Now look at him. Similar dynamic in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood really.

    The Odyssey trailer 2 (full trailer)

    It has been a cinematic trope for decades "ancient English" sounded British or at least not American. It's not like the Greeks and Romans actually sounded like Richard Burton and Laurence d'Olivier. It's been done for so many decades we've come to expect it even if not consciously. Richard...

    I was at that game in Austin. Up in the nosebleeds but looking right down from midfield. Goodness me I wanted to send them out of the conference with a Cyclone win on their field. Have to say Austin is great and Texas fans were super nice... just wish their admin wasn't sociopahtic.

    I don't know if I can think of a more insulting thing to call a Big Ten coach.

    I read the Fagles translation. https://www.amazon.com/dp/0140268863?lv=shuf&channelId=500&plpRedirect=mhFallback Everett: No, the treasure's still there boys, believe me. Delmar: [about the Blind Seer] But how'd he know about the treasure? Everett: I don't know Delmar. The blind are reputed...

    Well, the two of us was fixin' to fornicate! I don't know how you can be an educated person in any language without reading Homer. The Homeric tradition is foundational to human civilization.

    I'm sad that 2022 defense (which really was special) wasn't paired with a better offense.

    The Odyssey trailer 2 (full trailer)

    I don't know when the narrative starts, but Achilles is dead by the time The Odyssey starts (at least in the translated versions I've read, which I assume are based on original manuscripts). Not that Nolan couldn't incorporate material elsewhere from the Homeric tradition. Cashed in a few...

    Leo won best actor somehow when Tom Hardy was so much better than him in that one.
