Sure, I could have stayed in the past. I could have even been king. But in my own way, I am king.

Re: UCLA Bruins
I saw that last night. I wish they had the "at least I have chicken"
I like the stinky pinky but only up to the first knuckle, I do not want a GD thumb up there--I've told her multiple times and I always catch her when she tries to pull a fast one---it's my butthole for Chrissakes I'm gonna know--so cut out the BS.

Re: UCLA Bruins
Uma Thurman made a movie called Motherhood.
It was released exclusively to select theater(s) in London
The Sunday of its release, 1 person went to see it. It made $9 for the day
----------------------------------------------------------
Over its opening weekend, no more than a dozen people went to see Motherhood, a semi-autobiographical account of stressed-out Manhattan parenting written and directed by Katherine Dieckmann. The film made just £88 on the weekend of Friday 5 March. On its debut Sunday, box office takings were £9, meaning one person bought a ticket.
The disaster has now degenerated into a bitter confrontation between Metrodrome, responsible for marketing the film in the UK, and producer Jana Edelbaum, who blames the company for Motherhood's atrocious performance.

Re: UCLA Bruins
Sundance has seen its share of both rapturous and disastrous movie premieres, but few big openings in recent memory have produced the sort of hyper-polarized — and downright guttural — reactions that Swiss Army Man elicited this past January.
“We expected laughing and cheering, but I think I heard some people literally just screaming, a very animalistic screaming,” Daniel Kwan, the film’s co-director, told Inverse in a recent conversation in New York. “A couple piercing shrieks, that were neither joy nor disgust, but something in between.”
And that was just in the first ten minutes.
To be fair, no one knew much about the film, which Kwan co-wrote and directed with creative partner Daniel Scheinert (together, they are known as The Daniels). There was a curious still photo from the film in the festival guide, and a cast list — with Paul Dano, Daniel Radcliffe, and Mary Elizabeth Winstead — good enough to earn it the burden of hype from journalists and buyers. The information blackout — if not the expectations that filled in the blank spaces — was very much by design.
“The fun thing about [the premiere] was that we didn’t tell anyone what the movie was about, on purpose, so we could get that moment, to see what the spectrum of reactions would be,” Kwan said. “That was kind of the fun, existential joke of it all. We wanted to create something that just did not belong anywhere, especially not Sundance.”
And a movie about a suicidal man, his farting corpse best friend, and the fantasy land they inhabit definitely fit the bill, even at a festival known for ushering in eras of indie film innovation.
The first shrieks likely came when Radcliffe, playing the weatherbeaten corpse that washes ashore on a deserted tropical island, lets out a prolonged, bubbly fart. It surprises the sad and desperate Hank (Dano), who had hoped against hope that the body was a living person who might rescue him. The farts, however, turn out to be more than the wheezing biological accordion of dead organs pushing stale air from a lifeless body; instead, Manny — as Hank names the corpse — awakens, and uses an endless stream of powerful anal emissions to skim across the water like a jet ski. And Hank, figuring he has no better shot at escape, rides him like a Sea-Doo.

Re: UCLA Bruins
After investing 20 years in reading the GOT books, I avoided watching the show until this year. In fact, I binge watch all of the episodes prior to the final season episode this summer. Probably 2 more years of shows, imo.

Re: UCLA Bruins
my wife tried to start watching it last week.
There is some good dialog but neither of us can't get into it and that's suprising to me because if you put some shit on TV with a dragon or a wizard, she'll let us starve while she watches it

Re: UCLA Bruins
I'm a fan...even if a portion of that fandom is related to the fact that I've invested half a decade watching it. There's only 2 more seasons left, so I'm in for the rest of the ride.
There are some downright epic episodes through the seasons. Cinematic, honestly. They do well with a cable television budget, making things looks very rich.

Re: UCLA Bruins
Never watched it. But check out Animal Kingdom if you can. TNT surprised me. I thought they were still showing Andy Griffith stuff.
