[quote]The Godfather is my answer to the OP. I also want to say that the most underrated mafia movie would probably be Miller's Crossing IMO.[/quote] This all around. Godfather is the best, but Miller's Crossing isn't that far behind in quality. What's the rumpus?...

Lsu Bama...

[quote]Never hear of this but I will check it out. Thanks.[/quote] Definitely should, almost as good as Pan's labyrinth and characters from that movie actually have a cameo in Pan's if I remember right. I'd also suggest City of lost children as another similar style movie that's great....

[quote]No way is Discovery better than DS9 [/quote] Yeah, I enjoy Discovery quite a bit, but it is not even close to DS9. The first season of Discovery takes a little bit to get going but is a really good storyline. How they fixed the historical/timeline issues in the second season was well d...

It's entertaining, wouldn't pay whatever they are charging to rent it, but definitely worth watching at some point. Gilpin is awesome as the main character....

[quote]inally decided to read Red Rising. Excellent read, loved it. Just finished the first trilogy and moving on to the second series now. Is it as good?[/quote] The first two books have been as good as the original trilogy I'd say. Darker and more gritty than the first three though....

Auburn-fsu title game 2013 season and last year's final 4 game against Virginia would be pretty even here. The 1988 earthquake game against Lsu wouldn't be far behind since we would have played Notre Dame for the title had we not lost that game. Having Oklahoma lose at Okie state in 2004 inste...

Tourist season and skin tight are his best two I think, followed by the first couple Skink books (double whammy and native tongue)....

[quote]John Carter was way better.[/quote] Oh yeah, no doubt John Carter was much better. Just remind of each other due to the way the media slamming the movie helped lead to it bombing....

[quote]For those too young to remember, in the lead up to that movie's release it became this weird media whipping boy[/quote] Yeah, it was very similar to the John Carter movie situation. A very solid movie that got crapped on for having a high budget rather than the actual quality of the movie....

It's a great book series, extremely well written. And while I've seen plenty of comments online from and about the author that make her seem uber woke, I didn't find the series heavy handed or preachy at all....

It's tough for me to narrow things down to one book, but if I was going with just one I'd probably choose Catch 22. To kill a mockingbird, A Storm of swords would a couple close behind or on the same level....

[quote]Wow that one car is like I'm gonna park right here and hide [/quote] Yeah, they were lucky as hell....

Of those I haven't seen mentioned yet: Gross pointe blank Spies like us Greedy Ice pirates Secret of my success Nothing to lose Nobody's fool (Paul Newman) Real genius Top secret Quick change The great outdoors Johnny dangerously Multiplicity The man who knew too little Kung Fu hustle...

Carew was immortalized in a hit Beastie Boys song in the mid 90s, that's pretty good for a guy that retired in the mid 80s. I think most of the guys who played primarily during the 70s and early 80s are a little under the radar, except for the most elite guys. I don't even hear about guys like Mi...

[quote] Looking for mercenary stuff[/quote] Wild bunch if you haven't seen it. Once upon a Time in the west....

[quote]Funny how he took Sandersons writing course I think[/quote] You can kinda see it in the attention to detail with his magic system (not on the same level as Sanderson of course, but nobody is really). McClellan's writing/characters are more on the level of wax and Wayne Sanderson rather tha...

Yeah, I was impressed with McClellan across the board really. He managed solid world building, solid plot, solid writing, and really interesting characters. Taniel and Ka-Poel are awesome. He's definitely one of the top few new authors I've read over the last decade....

[quote]NLCB/testing was a reasonable idea that has gone horribly, horribly wrong.[/quote] Nothing wrong with the testing itself, but funding should have never been tied to the passing rates for tests or failure rates. That's what has caused the vast majority of the issues in education, with paren...

Good luck for your mom man, stay safe....
