From a Cal-associated journalist: 1.) The Regents do have to approve this decision 2.) Cal has to create an outcome that manages the stadium debt and the ongoing need for revenue (both direct and the large indirect amounts) that come from Cal participating in big time college athletics 3.) If t...

[quote]It's Silverstone week. FP1 and FP2 tomorrow. Let's focus fellas.[/quote] One of the great tracks. Copse-Maggots-Becketts is my favorite series of corners in F1. Copse is my favorite high-speed corner in F1, it's better than 130R. I think someone posted that they think Mercedes might be ta...

[quote]It would be very weird for USC and UCLA to be the only teams out west in the Big 10. it wouldn't be great logistically for them in terms of traveling costs, etc. yeah some schools from the group of stanford, cal, washington, oregon are definitely getting invited.[/quote] Maybe all of them...

[quote]Miami Hurricanes QB commit Jaden Rashada signs $9.5 million NIL deal[/quote] What I find fascinating, is that when an NFL team drafts a player in the first few rounds (and in the 1st Round especially, obviously) there is tremendous pressure on the GM and coach to make those highly drafted pl...

I looked over my list of 2022 movies. There are a few popular movies I haven't seen yet, like Dr. Strange or the lastest movies in the theaters now. [b]The Best[/b] 1. RRR (Two Famous-in-India Indian Guys) - Netflix 2. Everything Everywhere All at Once (Michelle Yeoh) 3. Top Gun: Maverick (Tom...

[quote]Underrated flick[/quote] Wow I had completely forgotten about Aniara. Bleak, and serious sci-fi. I didn't love it, but it's definitely my kind of movie....

[quote]what's that movie (old age is causing my mind to blank out) where there's like a naked man travelling through space in a clear bubble over millions of years. "The globe" or 'the bubble" or something like that. it had huge hype when it was coming out and i remember the visuals were great bu...

[quote]I would describe Fifth Element as some sort of demented Space Opera, even if somewhat entertaining. One can argue whether Space Opera is SciFi all day, I suppose, but [b]I generally agree that there should be some element of "science" in "science fiction."[/b] [b]For example, I do not s...

[quote]The most reasonable guys are black and their opinions were essentially ignored by the sjw brigade.[/quote] On twitter I see black people rolling their eyes at white liberals all the time. :lol:...

[quote]if we're going with besson, i could get behind Valerian being on this list. i enjoyed it but understand why some people wouldn't.[/quote] Boy, Valerian was the most frustrating movie. It was absolutely gorgeous to watch, but I hated the main cast. I wanted to like it because it looks so good...

[quote]You wouldn't consider The Fifth Element as sci fi? Wut in tarnation?[/quote] :lol: I think people throw around the term sci-fi too loosely. When considering a future world or alternative world, I think sci-fi should pay at least mild attention to imagining technology in a somewhat realist...

Oh that reminds me, [b]The History of Time Travel[/b], on Prime, is severely under-appreciated. A lot of people can't get past the terrible acting to see where the story goes, but it's only 1h10m long. The production is bad but the story is great. ...

[quote]The Fifth Element[/quote][quote]not sure i'd consider this one underrrated[/quote] I'm not sure I'd consider it sci-fi. ...

[quote]Havent read this yet.. Knew they agreed to sell the IP over to RBR. I'm sure after the way last year ended, they were regretting getting out. Worst possible time. [/quote] 2009 was also a bad time for Honda to get out of F1. They are the masters of bad timing. :lol:...

[quote]Maybe I appreciate the low season format of the UK[/quote] No one ever mentions [b]Utopia[/b] on Prime (2013 UK version, 2 seasons). It would have been an absolutely brilliant watch in 2020-2021, because it feeds into the paranoias some have about pandemics/vaccines. (Note that Prime also...

Wow, Alonso has just been given a 5-second time penalty for weaving/blocking, dropping him to P9. Bottas now with 6 pts, Zhou with 4 pts! [img]https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FVpWvsbWAAEqHHQ?format=jpg&name=900x900[/img]...

Zhou with 2 points, he really deserves it. He's been driving better than his results had been showing. He's having a much better rookie year than Yuki, Mick, and Nikita last year. Albon finished ahead of Gasly. What's wrong with AlphaTauri this year? :dope:...

[quote]Could medium tires not last 15 laps for Sainz?[/quote] Looking at Leclerc's results, it was a mistake not putting Sainz on Mediums. ...

[quote]Sainz is going to get this[/quote] Sainz does not have the killer instinct of the top drivers. Max will shiv him before he lets him pass. ...
