PITT vs ECU is a better watch than PSU vs CLEM so far.
I'm watching both. :nana:
ZZ Top's Tres Hombres album blew out the speakers in my 73 Buick Regal.



You start listening, turn it up load, and when those drum beats hit, the woofers shatter. :nana:

The guitar in this one tore up the tweeters.

That Led Zepplin Mothership was the 1st album I downloaded and recorded to a thumb drive to listen too in my new car that didn't have a CD player.

Check out Jimmy Page talking about how they wanted Stairway to Heaven to build up and speed up.

No Quarter has the same kind of build up. It just gets there faster.

Real Football fans known they'll be Jonesing for football in a couple of months, so you better watch as much as you can.
Who doesn't want to see football royalty like Owen McCown, son of Minnesota Vikings QB Coach Josh McCown, a former SMU QB, and nephew of former LaTech QB Luke McCown. Arch Who?

ETA: The McCown kid plays for Jeff Traylor, the old Gilmer coach. He'll be a Power 4 coach before long. Offensive genius! Replays of Gilmer games on YouTube

quote:

A four-time Texas High School Coach of the Year, he posted a 175-26 record (.871) and led Gilmer to five state championship game appearances, three state titles (2004, ’09, ’14) and 12 district crowns. The Buckeyes turned in a pair of perfect 16-0 seasons, won 10-or-more games 11 times and registered seven 13-win seasons and three 15-win campaigns during his career.

In 2014, his Class 4A Division II state championship team boasted one of the most prolific offenses in Texas prep history. Gilmer scored 950 points, the second-most at that time in state history, averaging 59.4 points and 536.1 yards over the 16-game season. The Buckeyes topped 60 points nine times, including two 80-point performances. Gilmer also averaged 536.1 total yards per game (8,577 yards) behind a balanced 293.9 passing yards and 242.1 rushing yards per contest. The defense was equally dominant, allowing only 276 points (17.3) with five single-digit efforts and two shutouts, while recording 23 interceptions and forcing 17 fumbles. Gilmer closed out the season with a win over West Orange-Stark and had eight different players earn Class 4A All-State honors from either the AP or Texas Sports Writers Association.

Gilmer’s two other state titles under Traylor both came in Class 3A in 2004 (Division II) and 2009 (Division I), before the change in class structure in Texas high school football moved the school into Class 4A. After 15 years on its sidelines, Gilmer renamed Buckeye Stadium to Jeff Traylor Stadium to honor his successful career. Inducted into the East Texas Coaches Association Hall of Honor in 2019, Traylor received numerous honors during his prep coaching career, including being named Coach of the Decade (2000s) by the Tyler Morning Telegraph. He is a 12-time District Coach of the Year, four-time East Texas Coach of the Year and a four-time Ted Jeffries Award winner. He has received the Carl Padilla Coach of the Year, KYKX Coach of the Year and Old Coach Network Coach of the Year awards twice each. He was inducted into both the Texas High School Coaches Association (THSCA) Hall of Honor and the Texas High School Football Hall of Fame in 2025.

I'm watching the replay on ESPNU right now.

Dreyfuss's character was under the influence of some type of mystical attraction to Devil's Tower due to some unexplained powers that the aliens had. He was drawn there and could not resist. The aliens selected various people and basically put some type of spell or mind control on them. on them.
They wanted him for their version of Y2K. He knew about low level wiring and wasn't afraid to go up in a bucket. :nana:

that’s not even taking into account the social aspect deficit of home schooled kids
What about the social aspect deficit boys that go to a high school with no girls get stuck with?
As the owner of Nicks he seemed like a guy who would be NY Yankees fan.

He shouldn't have made fun of Clarence.

And was a playboy / cheater with Mary.

I thought he was kind of a creep.


Yes, him coming to the rescue with the large money at the end was Hollywood's way of saying rich guys deserve to live like that as long as they take care of everyone they loved before they got rich.

He was an opportunist that ran with George's thoughts on making plastics out of soybeans. His dad must have been loaded because he backed him. I guess his dad wasn't the type to sit in a shabby little office, helping other people. like Mr. Bailey. They worried about making money first, then they took care of people.

I was sniffling when Clarence's voice breaks up saying this.




Was watching with my 90 year old mom. Thought I'd gotten away with her not knowing I shed a tear. When it was over I went to the bathroom and saw my shirt had spots where tears fell on it. :wah:

George Bailey is all of us. We all had dreams and maybe we got to experience some of them but eventually life happens to us all. You get caught in the grind and the weight of our responsibilities and you have so many days you wonder what is it all for or are you making an impact or just going through the motions. It's so easy to lose sight of the blessings we experience everyday that can get taken for granted. This movie is a great annual reminder of those things and a chance to reset and take stock heading into a New year of possibilities. God bless you all my brothers
I always think I didn't do enough. I haven't done enough. Hope I'm not too old to do something good for someone.

It Happened on 5th Avenue


This is the closest thing to a trailer I can find.



According to Just Watch, it's available on TCM, Plex Player and Free Movies+. Click on FreeMovies+ and it comes up on the screen.

Can also rent on Apple, Amazon and Fandango at Home.

Nicholson was at his best here
He really did play a man possessed with finding the bad guy well. He also plays someone who's the opposite of the confident, witty, Jack Nicholson we all know and love.

Hope Benicio Del Toro got paid well for his brief appearance.
They included him in their TCM remembers video. Feels like this year we lost more big names than we normally do.

He's addicted to Ozempic and tattoos.

This is approaching TV preacher status.
It's like a scene from a movie.

He needs to go stand on the mountain behind the stadium with a sfaff when he's making these pleas for money.
