[TheCityGame]

Is that supposed to be funny he's busting out the Taco Bell ball at the waste management tournament?

[dcmidnight]

The irony is he's recently had food allergy issues and after getting tested he's off dairy and milk - so if he eats at TB its with no cheese, sour cream etc.

Exactly lol.

[endlesswinterco]

The TB ball would go on the bay for over $40 I bet. Marketing money there

Bill Pullman is my Nic Cage. Independence Day Resurgence is dreadfully good. His performance is particularly special.

In a huge fan of really good crappy movie. Like movies that are so bad, they are entertaining and draw me in. Such as Snowpiercer or Hardcore Henry

Here's the guy who yelled in Tiger's birdie attempt. He looks ....like the kind of guy who would yell in someone's birdie putt attempt.

 

 

It's funny all the headlines keep talking about this guy yelling during the Tigger's "backswing." FAKE NEWS. Watch the video. The putter is moving forward when this guy yells. That's right - the Tigger was going to miss the putt anyway, and suddenly had a scapegoat. Butt he!l, let's give el tigre that putt - now he finishes tied for 20th instead of 23rd. Obviously the yelling guy ruined his life. Or maybe it was his rampant womanizing and drug abuse. But don't get me wrong, I love the Tigger. He deserves to win as much as his fellow players in their 40s.

[mtn1414]

Please disregard my previous post. Someone pointed out through PM that the Perkins Restaurant employee policy is to let their staff sleep with PGA players finishing in the top 20 of the previous week's tournament, so that putt did actually mean something. Sorry Tigger - hope your calluses aren't too bad to get you through LA.

I make one veiled comment about domes' bidet and now I get this following me around on fb.

Snowpiercer is a good movie.

 

My favorite bad movie from the last 10 years is Battleship.

 

I can't turn it off. There's a scene where they actually work out how to work "E-Five. . .MISS!" logically into the action. The love interest of the main character is the admiral's daughter. It has Rihanna AND Liam Neeson AND Jesse Plemmons. The aliens have these munitions that basically look like a giant steel tire that just roll and tumble and rip through the boats.

 

There's a scene where the modern battleships are all out of commission so they re-commission the USS Missouri with the assistance of ACTUAL NAVY VETERANS ("we have no right to ask any more of you, but I need to borrow your boat.") set to the strains of AC/DC's Thunderstruck. All these veterans get terrible lines like, "get your Word not allowed in gear, ensign."

 

Now that I think about it, it's actually somewhat similar to Independence Day.

There's a great part of that scene where they are cutting the anchor chain and it slams into the water to the music - gets me.

 

Also - Brooklyn Decker.

 

Gregory Gadson plays the Army guy who lost both legs and is helping them off the mountain. True story, he's a 20 year Army vet who lost both legs to a roadside bomb in Iraq. Former garrison commander at Fort Belvoir. Had a chance to see him speak one time, really inspiring stuff.

My favorite rewatchable bad movie is probably Day After Tomorrow. There's a good chance I've watched pieces of that 15-20 times. Cant turn it off.

Yeah, besides all the Navy vets with bit parts, that guy actually has a big role in the movie.

 

The movie had a tough time being taken seriously (even seriously as an action movie) because everyone was like, "it's based on a BOARD GAME? Come on!"

 

But, the amount that it seems to get replayed on cable would indicate that people have found the proper way to enjoy it. Basically, it rocks, and everyone in the movie is great looking. And the ships are awesome. And Earth wins!

 

I don't always root for America, but I always root for Earth.

The more I think about the JB thing, the more I hate the thought of the playoffs in golf. In general that is. Without the year long run to the end, he would have just grabbed the 5 wood and cranked that thing down there. But now, he has to protect points, placement, year-end standings. yada yada yada.

 

Maybe he can now parlay this into an Arby's contract for slow-roasted beef or something along those lines. No fine needed. He's gotten a lot a blow back, and looking like a wuss on TV to everyone in the country is punishment enough.

 

And if you can't sit and watch the original Point Break, gtfo!

[gregh729]

I have a great idea!

 

City stands still and PQ hits a shot over his head....from 3 feet away

I'm not really sure the JB was thinking about FedEx points at that time, but I do think he was thinking about flushing about $100k if he hit in in the water. As Fabb said earlier, I'm not buying that he thought he could dunk a 60 yard wedge easier than a chip from the back of the green. I don't think the thought about winning the tournament at all there.

I was a little reminded of Chip Beck at the '93 Masters when he should have gone for #15 in 2, but laid up. I read an interview with Pete Bendler who was his caddy, and he revealed that Beck was thinking he couldn't win the Masters, but could earn a lot of Ryder Cup points if he finished 2nd, so that's why he laid up.

[TheCityGame]

I would have loved to see DJ in that same spot.

 

"Hey, DJ, what were you thinking when you hit that shot?"

 

"Austin said it was 240, and my 3 iron goes 240, so I hit 3 iron."

The original Point Break is a classic. I own a hard copy of it. I've watched it at least 20 times. Bodi is the bomb. Wth happened to Lori Petty? She went silent a while ago.

 

Not into Battleship, though I did laugh while watching it. The Taken series are impossible for me not to watch. I want to see that new Liam Neesln movie. He's the same character in every role now and I love that. Who would've guessed Liam Neeson would be a huge action star. He should be considered for the next Bond.

[FAbb]

The Key & Peele skit where they play valets talking about Liam Neeson movies slays me every time I watch it.

Lori Petty was on Orange is the new Black

This is a funny quote...

"And that raises an interesting question: Fundamentally, is it reasonable, fair, honest, trustworthy, etc. to compare a 2-piece, ionomer ball to 3+ layer, urethane Tour balls? It’s a question for which the answer is more opinion than fact, but I’m certain that if Not allowed because of spam made a similar comparison in a ball test, we’d get blasted – and my opinion is that we’d deserve it."

 

Edit: this auto-changed to the bold...awesome.

He'd make an awesome Bond

I just googled "who will be the next Bond".

 

It looks like the odds-on favorite is Tom Hardy, which would be cool.

 

There were the Idris Elba rumors that he would get it, but he has said no. He floated the idea of a female James Bond. I'd love that. . .if for nothing else than to see "those guys" on the internet lose their collective S all over again, like they did with Fury Road and The Last Jedi.

[vtnerf]

Love Tom Hardy movies, but can't see him as Bond. He'd have to actually speak, not mumble. And no females; see Salt.

I could see Idris in there though...

Interesting. I didn't know that. I didn't know that because only women watch Orange is the New Black, and you.

 

So, who's excited for the SOTU?!?!?!?!

[TheCityGame]

Salt wasn't too bad.

 

See Atomic Blonde. That's more of a female Bond.

[dcmidnight]

Was Atomic Blonde intended to be the first in a series? I expected it to be dreadful but was pleasantly surprised.

[siegel159]

Salt was pretty bad. Atomic Blonde was better. Lucy was cool, but not really the same genre.

 

I'd like to see a female Bond at some point. Like Charlize Theron or Emily Blunt (I thought she killed it in Edge of Tomorrow).

[vtnerf]

If you want a female lead, just make the Borne movies with a female. That was the point of them. To NOT be Bond...
