2012 Off topic thread(basketball,movies,etc whatever)

[Mr. IWS]

Jeff Blatnick died on October 24, 2012 as a result of complications from heart surgery. At the time of his death, Blatnick was a varsity wrestling coach at Burnt Hills-Ballston Lake High School, and also worked as a motivational speaker. He lived with his wife, son, and daughter in Clifton Park, New York.

Sucks to hear that.

Another Hollywood figure who gets too much hate: Nicolas Cage!

Granted, he takes ANY role he's offered, but when he's good, he's great.

The Rock, Face Off, The Family Man, National Treasure, The Weather Man, Adaptation, Kick Ass . . . all great performances.

a film student who didn't mention "Leaving Las Vegas" and "Raising Arizona"... you are no longer qualified to view and review movies. Revoked!

Cage is a lot better in drama and comedy roles than action roles IMO. I really like Leaving Las Vegas.

I saw Wicker Man... it was pretty bad, but mostly just forgettable.

Leaving Las Vegas and Raising Arizona are both good but I don't like them as much as everyone else seems to. Leaving Las Vegas is a must-watch, but I don't know if it's a must re-watch. I'll put it that way.

Raising Arizona has its moments but it's pretty far down the list of Coen movies in my book. Fargo, No Country, Miller's Crossing, Bloodsimple, The Big Lebowski, Burn After Reading and True Grit would probably all come before it.

Yeah, I just saw that. Sad.

We're getting our first snowfall of the season right now. If you want to call it snow. More of a slushy rain/snow combo.

Lentils!

Im hoping for at least 3 seperate blizzards this winter myself.

[SPX]

Three separate blizzards?

[Mr. IWS]

Three separate blizzards?

Yes

[SPX]

Is that to say that you like blizzards?

[Mr. IWS]

Is that to say that you like blizzards?

I like the days off work associated with said blizzards.

[SPX]

Oh, indeed.

I saw very little snow growing up so for me it's still (and probably always will be) a novel treat, especially around Christmastime.

We barely got any last year, I was fuckin pissed.

[SPX]

BOL. Every time I text Luke about cold weather or snow I just get back a text that says, "NEGGED!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Apparently he doesn't get into that shit.

I think snow is beautiful though, especially when it's freshly fallen and people haven't fucked it all up by walking and driving through it. I remember one night I was downtown and coming out of a late show at the movies and it had snowed while I was in there. I walk out and EVERYTHING is white. And not only that, but it was completely untouched. No tire tracks, no footprints, nothing. It was awesome. Until I finally saw a car I felt like I had walked out into some snow world that only I existed in.
