re: Famous roles nearly played by other actors! I’ll start.
Posted by messyjesse on 4/24/24 at 9:48 pm
Jean Claude Van Damme was the original choice to wear the Predator suit. He's all of 5'9 though and everyone else on set averaged like 6'3 and 250 pounds. Also he hated the suit and couldn't move for shite in it. So they got 7'3 Kevin Peter Hall to do it instead....
re: What's the highest level of Math you use regularly?
Posted by messyjesse on 4/24/24 at 7:48 am
I only completed Algebra 2 in high school but I somehow tested out of trig, precalc, and calc 1 entering college. My degree plan required paired math and so they placed me in calc 2. Never worked so hard for a C- in all my life.
I'm a business analyst by day now. Aggregates, pivots, that sorta th...

re: The Deer Hunter
Posted by messyjesse on 4/19/24 at 4:01 pm
Decent movie but way too long. A good 45 minutes could've been left on the cutting room floor no problem.
There are a lot of novels in the Western canon that I want to be able to say that I've read, but that I don't actually want to sit down and read. Deer Hunter is the cinematic equivalent for m...

There's a video out there of one of these things absolutely mauling a (still living) pregnant deer. At some point the newborn fawn falls out and the dragon just nonchal...

It's legitimately the best thing on TV right now. No caveats, no strings attached--the best....
re: Hollywood replacing white people in true stories with black actors
Posted by messyjesse on 4/13/24 at 1:13 pm
I try to stay the hell out of these types of discussions lately but one example from a few years ago has stuck out to me as especially egregious to the point that I want to add it.
There was a West End (English Broadway basically) production of Apollo 13 called "Dark Side of the Moon" a few year...

re: Games you have the most hours in
Posted by messyjesse on 4/10/24 at 7:45 am
I played Guitar Hero and Rock Band throughout all of college. My catalog of songs was close to 1,000 across all games. Figure an average of 4 minutes per song, and me having played each of them at least 20 times, that works out to around 1,300 hours of me pressing buttons on fake plastic instruments...
re: Solar Eclipse Gamethread
Posted by messyjesse on 4/8/24 at 10:42 pm
Watched it in Plano with my wife and two kids, one of whom I'm sure is old enough to remember it for the rest of his life.
It was partly cloudy, but I think it worked out just as well as a clear sky because the clouds were juuust thick enough to let us watch most of those final few minutes enteri...
re: UConn 75 @ Purdue 60 Final - TBS
Posted by messyjesse on 4/8/24 at 9:59 pm
B1G is 0-7 in the title game since Sparty won it in 2000 (not counting Maryland in '02). Purdue's in danger of making it 0-8.

re: Just finished Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom
Posted by messyjesse on 4/4/24 at 11:14 am
I know linearity is out the window in these games but it did a real disservice to the story they were trying to tell here. It worked okay in BotW since most of the memories were fairly self-contained, but TotK's memory narrative was linear. The game nudges you in the correct order, but I think it wo...
re: Question for the married men
Posted by messyjesse on 3/27/24 at 7:43 am
Mobility (social & financial) plays a big part in it. My wife and I didn't necessarily plan out where we eventually ended up, but I can say that it was far away from the people we would have considered to be our closest friends, to the point where we go years now without seeing them in person.

[quote]Refs eviscerated[/quote]
I might just be a crank but I frickin hate this Buzzfeedy clickbait shite that passes for headlines these days.
To eviscerate someone is to disembowel them. Unless those refs were gutted with a machete and their bloody intestines were spilled all over the court be...

re: Have your ever been profiled by the cops?
Posted by messyjesse on 3/12/24 at 9:51 am
Why yes, just this morning. I was doing the speed limit with myself and two children buckled securely into our seats when I noticed a cruiser with an officer sticking a radar speed gun out of his window.
He profiled me as a law-abiding citizen and I drove past him without incident....
