Agree. The x factor. Game changer. Swagger. It hurt us.
But Notre Dame is a joke.
Florida vs Bama would have been a contest. This handed Saban back to back NCs.

You need TWO scores kick the FG.

I don't get the Saban haters.
I went to the shitty 80s games. Five bucks a ticket out front and you couldn't give em away some weeks.
The Auburns INT for TDs meltdown.
Arnsbarger was our best coach since Charlie Mac. He should have been made AD and hired Spurrier
Saban built LSU as a national power.
Yes, he's an arrogant short man wife cheating a-hole. He's also obviously the best coach in college football. LSU had him but damn Miami screwed us out of having a dynasty.
How cool would back to back NCs be?
Even more impressive in a state with two major programs. Louisiana only has LSU.
Miles is a nice guy. I'd like him as a father in law or friend. He's solid but a step behind Saban and always will be.
No way Saban would ever field a team that'd get wiped out like we did in the NC last year. Miles is the buddy and puts up with the bs off the field. We lost a Perriloser season. This was really a Honey Badger lost season. Why don't are guys have discipline? Damn QB showed up stoned to the NC game!!

False
After decades of crappy coached Saban made LSU a National Champion and set us in course.
Had he stayed we'd have picked up 2-3 more NC by now.
But top 10 year in year out ain't bad.
It's Charlie Mac to Bear Bryant all over again.

Most of those just aged. Curtis always reminded me of her dad in drag.
Men are programmed to breed. Women past breeding age aren't attractive to us.
Kathleen Turner is one of the worst.
The overdone lip and facelift crowd. Meg Ryan. Priscilla Presley had a bad plastic surgery as well. Mary Tyler Moore.
Julie Andrews had a great micro facelift. Not that she was ever super hot.

re: Would You Give Any Bond Film Four Stars?
Posted by wavebreaker on 11/24/12 at 9:34 am to Zamoro10
What year did Ebert write that? 1982?
Goldfinger. Watched it recently and it seemed very dated and post-Austin Powers was difficult to take seriously.
A good action/thriller keeps the viewer on edge. It's a life and death struggle. I rarely feel any real jeopardy in any Bond film.
I grew up with Bond as we all did and loved them as a kid. Gadgets, explosions, hot chicks. Watching them again as an adult most of them don't hold up.
Casino Royale held promise because it got back to the books. Then Quantum sucked (might give it zero/4 stars it was so bad).
The problem for the filmmakers:
Go "Bourne"'with Bond to keep him up to date?
Go back to the books to recapture the soul of the character? But is that relevant in a post Cold War world?
Go into spoof parody territory (Roger Moore and the last Brosnan)?
Or try a mix of everything? Skyfall.
The Bond film cliches:
Glib post kill line. Moneypenny. Shaken not stirred. Sophistocated villain (was north by northwest first to so this? Third man?). Gadgets in the car. Q. Gadgets for battle.
Casino Royale reboot worked because it went back to the book and thew out the cliches.
That great film was followed with a no plot snoozefest.
Now they are trying to reintroduce the cliches.
Yes, I'm all for occasional mindless action and hot chicks. Occasionally.

How good are Bond films?
Sean Connery Is often mentioned as the best Bond. Though his accent is absurd for the role, he is a believable killer.
The Roger Moore Bond films seem like Austin Powers-ish self parody.
The best of the lot is the recent Casino Royale remake. I'd give it 3/4 stars. From the 50 years of films we've gotten mostly 1 and 2-star level product, terribly dated, most of which borders on silly.
Why all the love for Bond?

Takes skill and much practice to learn how to use a sword like that. Get a machete. No training required and no bullets needed.
Diane buy she'd let the walkers close on her that much.

Posted by wavebreaker on 11/18/12 at 9:46 am to wavebreaker
In Point Break he doesnt quite let him go. There are bunch of other cops there. He lets him go commit surf suicide rather than go to jail. F&F he really does let him escape.

You're right. Same movie and I'd noticed it before.
Made a bundle of $ though. Lot of films are "remade" like this. Copy what works.
Point Break was Bigelow and James Cameron when they were married. The jumping out of a place was a great action bit. Good movie actually.

You'd lose money.
I see two movies a week x 50 weeks. 100.
You pay 90% standard ticket prices that's 4-500 bucks to studios. For a 2-300$ pass?
Concessions are the big source of income to theaters.

Problem is % of box office (90% first week of big movies) goes to studio. Theyd ban their flix from your theater unless you paid them per butt in seat.

John Carter lost a bundle.
Deeds was entertaining. Bit of a ripoff of a foreign film called The Raid (cops assaulting a high ruse controlled by drug dealers).

Watch the Making of. As good as the film.
Adaptation of Heart of Darkness set in Nam. Many classic moments.
