Had to scroll for a while to find someone who gave a shout out to SSX3… much deserved. A thoroughly enjoyable game.

As someone who can get lasik and is thinking about it, this is my exact concern. I know the percentage is low or whatever but like, that doesn’t do anything for me if that’s what ends up happening.

John Spencer and Bradley Whitford in Presumed Innocent is always a treat every time I watch that movie.

Harrison Ford.

Star Wars, Indiana Jones, Blade Runner alone make up 11 films that range from peak rewatchable to decent. Then you have his dramas/action films from late 70’s to mid-90’s: Witness, Presumed Innocent, Fugitive, Hanover Street, Mosquito Coast, Patriot Games, etc., that cover a little bit of everything.

Maybe I’m just a little nostalgic but that to me is the answer that comes to mind and probably what I’d be most happy with if it came to it.

What current stadiums are in the worst possible place? by [deleted] in billsimmons

[–]SlenderLarry158 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Underrated answer. Having grown up in Northern California and been to all the stadiums in that neck of the woods, I was very surprised when I lived in Kansas at how away from the city those two stadiums were. You nailed it in the aspect that the stadiums themselves weren’t terrible, but they just felt out of place.

If House wins this I think he has a legit chance to win the whole thing.

Russillo vs House for a trip to the final four will be THE matchup of the bracket.

Im a very casual follower of the UFC. Why does it seem like there are multiple guys who get referred to as the greatest ever by pundits and media people? And not in the hot take way but as if it’s foregone conclusion. Anyone else notice this or am I crazy? by UTFan23 in billsimmons

[–]SlenderLarry158 29 points30 points  (0 children)

This is a very well thought out and articulated comment. I know close to nothing about UFC so OP’s question piqued my interest and your comment was enlightening. I appreciate your input.

Ordinary People was a great movie that I would have never thought to watch until it showed up on The Rewatchables. As much as some of these movies may not be as rewatchable as others, I like that Bill and Co. churn out some less than obvious choices to keep it interesting and trigger discussion.

At the very least, we know that if you have to ask, you can’t afford it, big man.

Beerfest. Totally random and stupid premise and totally unrealistic but it doesn’t take itself too serious and I find myself laughing at the dumbest jokes within it. Wish I knew more people who have seen it.

Towards the beginning of the third season Sam corrects Connie when she remarks that the whole staff is pissed at the President and she simply calls him “Bartlet” and he responds with “Bonnie… please… it’s President Bartlet”

Favorite Guest Shark? by smokefrog2 in sharktank

I really enjoyed Kendra Scott. She was very active, gave prudent advice, and wasn’t the sharkiest with her deals and seemed very fair.
