Ok, my first thoughts on this classic is that there was no actual pain. Looked more like her enjoyment to me, or just bad acting.
What if? A Year of Movies
- Thread starter Raising Heel
- Start date
We all know that you should start this thing.So...
But I do like the idea of it being every two weeks (or once a month) instead of every week.
But I already watched "Casting Couch..."
Wasn't impressed, too many plot holes.
Any movie should be fair game. I'm open to the idea of a limited series, but IMDB says Band of Brothers clocks in at almost 10 hours. That's too much to ask of participants. It should probably be capped at 4 hours max. I realize that might kill the idea of series but it has to be reasonable enough to allow participation.
See above. If we're all going to do this in good faith, then nominators should be allowed to pick any movie.
I'm guessing all of us have Netflix. Prime and Hulu might be hit or miss, but both offer free trials that should allow everyone to get in. Might need to create a fake email address to use but that's not an unreasonable request.
Okay then. Let's start by seeing how many people want to participate. The order of nominations will be dictated by the order in which people respond to this thread expressing their interest starting now. If we run a two-week schedule, that's enough slots for 13 people to nominate two movies. If we don't get to 13, then we'll just start over with me after everyone has had a turn and proceed in the same order (unless someone drops out). That rewards early responses.
Cripes, GSD is going to ruin this for everyone, isn't he?
I’m gonna do my best brother. You know that.
And tag a motherfu*ker, why don’t you. I had to actually read all this drivel to get to the part about me.
Please do not take my response quoted above as my desire for inclusion in this event. It was nothing more than me just being a dick.
I'm not in because I don't have an of the media modes yall listed. But I will drop in from time to time to offer an unsolicited, off-topic critique.
That was the point.
So it looks like including @Raising Heel, there are about 7 interested. In for sure would be me, @tarheel0910, @TarHeelMark, and RH, with @BillyL, @grillheel, and @TarHeelNation11 as likely in, right? We could start with that and then if more people were interested they could get added after the initial round of selections
Thanks, dude. Was getting ready to bump this again.
I'll set up a schedule in the next couple days. That'll start the ball rolling. Let's plan on me making the first pick on Sunday, 2/18. I'll start a thread for the movie I pick and then everyone will have two weeks to watch and chime in.
Didn't want to start a whole new thread about it and since I'm going to see this movie today, seemed like the place to share this quote for Chadwick Boseman from First Take today.
Officially my favorite actor, and I've never heard of him.Didn't want to start a whole new thread about it and since I'm going to see this movie today, seemed like the place to share this quote for Chadwick Boseman from First Take today.
He's actually a really good actor. Played Jackie Robinson in 42, James Brown in Get on Up, and Thurgood Marshall in Marshall (in addition to debuting Black Panther in the last Captain America movie). He's definitely on the rise, and you'll see a lot more of him after this movie crushes the box office. It's like how not that many people knew Chris Pratt prior to Guardians of the Galaxy.
Never heard of him but I like the cut of his jib.
In regards to Black Panther, WTF is this movie? Is it another super hero movie? I haven’t seen any preview and hadn’t heard a word about it until I got on Facebook today and all these people are talking about it like we’ve been waiting for years for it to come out. A little info on this would be much appreciated.

It is a super hero movie in the Marvel (Avengers) universe. The character first appeared in 2016 in the last Captain America movie, and is now getting a solo movie. Basically, he is the king of a fictional African nation called Wakanda which is super technologically advanced thanks to this fictional metal called Vibranium that is very versatile and durable and whatnot. Captain America's shield is made from it, as is Black Panther's suit which has a lot of powers. It is definitely getting a lot of publicity because many consider it to be the first super hero movie with a black lead (that's not technically true, but it's the first one in the super hero dominant era of movies that we are in now). The character has a long history in the comics, and has been a part of the Avengers and at times married to Storm from X-Men. The reviews have been largely positive, currently sitting at 97% on Rotten Tomatoes with critics, which would make it the best reviewed movie in the Marvel Universe.
I can understand that, I know several people are, but this movie (based on things I've read) feels more like a James Bond movie than your traditional "super hero" movie. And while there is definitely some saturation in the market when it comes to the comic book movies out there now, I really feel like they have been making things more diverse in terms of style, content, and subject matter to try and appeal to different audiences.
It’s what we as Americans do best - over-do something and eventually ruin it. I was talking about the new Star Wars movies in the same light. By making 6 “new” ones, it cheapens the original trilogy. We just don’t know when to let well enough alone. Kill it before it dies, I always say.
To be fair, Frozone isn't the lead in that one. So it still doesn't technically count. Just make sure he can find his super suit.I know... why does everyone forget this guy?
I know... why does everyone forget this guy?
Now that’s a super hero movie I can get behind. Love the Incredibles.
Well you are in luck because the sequel hits this summer
#BasketballOnlyDidn't want to start a whole new thread about it and since I'm going to see this movie today, seemed like the place to share this quote for Chadwick Boseman from First Take today.
Do we have a choice? Our biggest celebrity football fan is probably Chase Rice. **sad face emoji**
Well, I mean, Michael was talking the football team up when he said the Ceiling is the Roof, so that's kind of something. I mean, he's an alum, but so is Chase.
I don't know what amused me more: that the University totally ran with that quote, or how mad rival fanbases got that the University totally ran with that quote. And then we won a natty just to poke them all in the eye. Hahaha!
Alright, here's the schedule for the first two phases. It'll be my responsibility to manage the calendar, meaning I'll make changes as people join in or drop out. I'll start a new thread for each round and tag whoever is up next.
Seeing it written down makes me realize this is pretty ambitious. Looking forward to whatever you guys come up with, though. I'll start a thread on Sunday to name the first movie.
