Leto's a freak so this doesn't surprise me but I wonder why the men never turn the tables on these chicks? You never hear about women facing accusations. We're all nobodies yet we've been harassed, had our dicks or arse grabbed, we've been propositioned, had sluts try to blow us, kiss us, had older women try to frick us when we were in high school, etc. Tell me this doesn't happen to famous men every time they step foot in public.


When men do it (if by a woman or other men), it gets met with even MORE scrutiny and claims of "bullshite" than when women come forward.

Just look at Terry Crews.

Lots of scenic beauty, but just horrid poverty.

I'll also add that the offensive line issues that meant he had little protection and no run game support last year have been addressed, on paper.


Just watching those highlights I thought two things:

1. Most of the throws were very short (dump offs and screens)
2. The reason they were is that he had pressure almost every snap

Calling all Arch Manning haters to show up here. Let’s put your mouths to the test.


I don't hate the kid; he was clearly given way too much hype.

It's not that he doesn't have talent, but rather was treated as a generational one - basically we were being told he was going to be the greatest QB in the past 20+ years.

That's not on Arch; he didn't go around telling everyone he was amazing. Texas fans and the media kept that going.

So he was never going to live up to the hype Texas fans kept heaping on him.

I'm curious how they come to some conclusions...

West Virginia is #50 in economy but #4 in opportunity (and #13 in fiscal stability).

Their best states were LINK:

1. Utah
2. South Dakota
3. Minnesota
4. North Dakota
5. Nebraska


I think their grading criteria may have been a bit skewed.


Florida was the only state to make their top 10 out of the SEC; having visited many times, I feel this is very dependent on WHERE in Florida.

I swear Florida feels more demographically separated than much larger states like Texas and California.

Virginia is very similar... it's rated #19, but I'd put the area I live in easily top 5 (Shenandoah Valley) but I also get that NoVA is a big reason the infrastructure gets a big hit.

3 years?

Apparently tRant thinks someone has to wait longer than that after a divorce before they remarry.

Yes, his wife was diagnosed in 2015 and declared cancer free in 2016.

No evidence other than online rumors of any extramarital affairs.

His current wife left UA for Dallas in 2022. He has been divorced for 3 years.

Maybe, that is a reasonable time to move on. And, they had chemistry.

Everything isn't a scandal.


Uh oh, you're using facts and logic.

Neither of these are particularly welcome here. :lol: :cheers:

It's a depressing, hideous state that's incredibly poor and poorly educated. It's certainly no Texas.

Surely this man has more than enough money to just stop working and chill.

I'm also not sure we needed a 3rd Jumanji (technically 4th?) movie.

How many do they claim that are not in the NCAA record book?


Fun tidbit:

If Alabama claimed titles like Auburn claimed titles, we'd have over 35.
You know, just as Hollywood starts making movies that are unique or at least from sources that haven’t been adapted yet, they remake a movie that’s already a remake.

Why would you do this? If you want a heist movie make something new.
He was originally accused last year; these are additional possible victims coming forward.

Jess Bush (Chappel) isn't exactly hard on the eyes either.

Yeah this is where James Gunn's choice of movies is not helping. Supergirl is perhaps the least interesting character he could have chosen for movie 2. Barely C-tier.


I honestly didn't understand that selection; I don't mind the character but you already did Superman. If you want a female led movie, go with Wonder Woman; if you're avoiding Wonder Woman because she had the most recent movie then go with one of these:

Power Girl (the ACTUAL edgy Supergirl)
Batgirl
Zatanna (which would be a good lead in to JL:Dark)
Hawkgirl (technically already cast from the Superman movie)
Black Canary
Raven or Starfire (for a Teen Titans lead in)

If you're worried about name recognition then Batgirl is the obvious choice; that said, if you're aiming for most interesting I'd say Zatanna, Raven, and Black Canary in that order (though Raven's backstory is the most interesting and comes with a built-in antagonist).

DC has the better slate with the whole Neil Gaiman world, Justice League Dark, etc, but Marvel has good characters for this sort of thing too like Blade, Ghost Rider, Moon Knight, Midnight Sons, etc.


Neil Gaiman's Sandman was pretty good; JL: Dark has done great with their animated movies but I am not sure if they'll make a live action or not (DCU needs to get at least get some traction before they try it).

Midnight Sons would be great; I'm still waiting to see if they bring back Moon Knight or not. His show was pretty good, one of the better Disney+ shows honestly.

They're going to be losing jobs because of AI. Whether or not companies merge will have minimal impact on that reality.


Maybe.

Personally I don't see that as a positive and I think it's likely AI won't turn a profit through the creative works fast enough to stay alive; most AI that remains will be those will business applications.

See the caveat I made


I wasn't arguing your point, just providing the data.

Avatar is definitely the closest, and would be $100 mil in today's dollars.

Completely insane. I don't think there has ever been a 100 mill week one film that did this


Pretty sure this is only domestic totals: Smallest Second Week Gross Drop - BoxOfficeMojo

The biggest movies I saw were Avatar (-1.7%), Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle (+38.4%), Night at the Museum (+20.8%), etc.

I didn't dig in to see which ones were because the second weekend fell on a holiday or anything like that.

A 3% drop or less would put it in the 30; 25 movies made more money than they did their opening weekend.
