re: Did your parents take you to R rated movies in the 80's, 90's

our biggest concerns were sneaking into a R rated movie and hoping the theater police didn't catch you
Especially when the multiplex started popping up. Hard to sneak in a twin theater. :lol:
But what comes on cable now is far worse than most rated R movies back in the 80s except maybe Porky's

are they not fans?
That is the question to be asked. Amazon did this to promote Rings of Power. Brought in influencers to pretend they were super fans and afterwards found out most knew nothing of Tolkien to LOTR.

Feel it was the true beginning of cable TV pushing the boundaries and bringing a whole new era to TV series.
FX really pushed the boundaries starting with The Shield. Over the next 8 years we also saw the release of Nip/Tuck, Rescue Me, SOA, and Justified.
Also, IIRC correctly during that time Always Sunny and Archer hit the tube.
re: Rank the best looking SEC campuses that you have been on
Posted by TideWarrior on 5/20/26 at 6:38 am to PSS101
Been to most but yet to visit Texas schools, Mizzou, or OU. All have nice features about them. I prefer college towns, so Knoxville and Columbia do nothing for me. Vanderbilt reminds me of Wake Forest. In a city but sort of on its own. Outside of UA always enjoyed UGA.
We been touring schools with my daughter. Her top two choices are UVA and Cornell. Both really nice campuses. Yale is all one of my favorites.
Someone mentioned Duke earlier but outside of the old quad not a very attractive campus. Not to mention in the middle of Durham so even on campus after dark is not safe. UNC used to be a great college town, but the medical facilities have taken over along with all the apartment complexes gobbling up real estate.

I think a lot of that has to do with costs, and people are also personally attached the the live action characters. There are few animated characters that people get emotionally attached to, and the one's they do get attached to more often than not get ruined in live action. See Cad Bane & Asoka.
I think it has more to do with how they are written. Obi and Fett were not done well in their series either but like Maul have a great story arc from start to finish.
I would be all for both getting an animated series like Maul.

I’ve always thought state schools should serve the kids of the state.
UNC has a hard cap for out of state at 18%. Great for instate students but forcing the tuition to go up as well.

McCombs is firmly in the Top 10 undergraduate business schools along with Indiana Kelley and a few others like UNC.
Maybe for undergrad and in specific disciplines but I was referencing overall including Graduate programs. In the end it really comes down to who is ranking who (which service) as they all vary.

Natalie Portman in Professional was very good.
Abigal Breslin in Little Miss Sunshine was outstanding even with such a great cast around her.
Drew Barrymore in ET and Firestarter

I would say the death of Hodor was moreso.

Time will tell. Remember Clone Wars was done before Kennedy got involved. SW Rebels she was not involved in nor the new Maul series. All three series he created. Maybe animation is better for him who knows.
All the live action shows he is involved in she was the producer. It could be her influence is just that bad when she is involved.
Without Filoni Ashoka and Thrawn would have never been brought into Canon.

Kennedy has one of the greatest resumes of all time
Her downfall with SW was her arrogance. She believed she could do what Lucas did. Combine that with her insistence of making SW woke killed the franchise.
All she, Disney, or anyone had to do was use what had been created by third parties for the two decades after the original trilogy as the franchise would be pumping out great material for the next century. The moment she declared what was canon and only canon would be used, Star Wars died for the most part.

I always thought Maul was a good character with more to explore.
He has a great arc to follow. I hope someday they can put it all together but not sure if this series will make it to Solo and if it does they will miss a lot.
His cameo happens 10 years from where this show has started and his ending in Rebels is 17 years away.

Not gonna lie DeBoer seems different this spring. It seems like he has more confidence and is excited about this group. These are all his guys now who want to play for him and not half Saban guys anymore
I actually got to meet one of the coaches while UA was on spring break a few weeks ago. His son runs relays on the track team with mine. The overall feeling with the staff is they are very excited about what they were able to bring in and going into the fall. Seems to be a very good vibe in the locker room and with the staff.

UNC almost exclusively in the past has hired alum.
The last three coaches Doherty, Williams, and Davis have been the only three coaches in the last 100 years that are alum from UNC. The 8 or 9 before that including D Smith who was there for 36 years were not alum.
re: LOTR Trilogy: who deserved more/less screen time?
Posted by TideWarrior on 3/10/26 at 12:04 pm to RidiculousHype
Not sure to be honest but probably due to time constraints as he wanted to keep on the one ring. The book ended added another layer in a way that extended past the one ring.

The only thing I wish was in the movies was the actual book ending with the retaking of the Shire and how Saruman died in the Shire.
