Month 1: Steven Spielberg Month 2: Billy Wilder Month 3: Martin Scorsese 80s and I were talking and liked the idea of tying in the DotM sometimes with newer releases that would be popular and fresh in people's mind. We will pivot away from the gritty streets of New York to the realm of big...

Month 1: Steven Spielberg Month 2: Billy Wilder We ramped up a little last month with Wilder and Oscar talk, but this month we will talk even more with one of the most decorated directors who is yet again up for director and picture. Greatest living director? I doubt if somebody would...

Month 1: Steven Spielberg It's February, the month of romance! I had thought about Nora Ephron, but have different plans for female director. Both 80s and I gravitate to the classics, and thought Wilder would give great options even if people weren't into our lean for the month. We...

New year, new attempt at getting a little focus movie talk going. I wanted to try by directors for a bit because I am selfish and that's how I usually think about movies. Talking with 80s, I think the specificity of some of the other incarnations limited participation as we went. Not...

Math is done, now I just have to finalize the rankings based on said list. We will do it like the 90s countdown for the same reasons - I think @Ilov80s balanced each other out nicely last time around and it made it less likely that movies would be left off the top 100. That said, doing a...

Short version - my son has had a terrible year, and approached us last week about the desire to transfer schools. 2 main reasons: the basketball program and overt racism he has witnessed in the school. Longer version: Basketball: He is on the JV team. At the start of the year he...

Didn't see a thread, but this is one that I wanted to have a whole thread on as I have questions and my wife and I are done with S1 and I know at least I am obsessed with it. I will see first if it's even on enough people's rotation since it's on Showtime which I don't think is that popular...

Didn't see anything started and I was surprised. I just started looking through stuff for the week. One thing that stuck out for gpps that I wanted to get out there is that there were 5 teams that were in the top 10 for Sack Potential and Rush Potential. I don't usually force the Rb/DT...

I searched and found a thread about podcasts, but it was short and that was about 3 years ago.  Thought maybe a running list of podcasts/episodes and books as we go might be interesting.  Been listening to more non-fiction books lately so looking for suggestions Recently I got through The...

I did my top 100 movies of the 00s (well, sort of) and the top 50 of the first half of the 10s.    I've been wanting to do the 1990s, but kept hitting a wall as I thought about it.   I think a bit of the hesitation was my take on some pretty popular 90s movies doesn't line up much with the...

I was wondering the opinion of the masses on this Christmas "classic?".    It's one that my wife and I have seen a bunch and gravitate to.  It's also one that I think if you pick apart too much would get problematic and I could see people not liking it or thinking it doesn't hold up almost 20...

I know we have a horror movie thread, but thought I would try a wider net.     A lot of us have kids and have probably done a similar thing without making a list or putting a ton of thought into, but I was thinking about this simple sounding idea, but I was having trouble narrowing it down...

On to the next week.   My daughter's class got shutdown b/c of covid, so I will be bored and looking at stuff too much again this week.   Like I posted in the other thread, I will be all DK now (unless my 4 MNF LUs do well tonight), so when I post I will lean a bit more to target shares vs. TD...

So I feel asleep on the couch watching a movie a couple nights ago, and woke up with a fairly sharp pain near my right scapula.   I figure I just was sitting wrong, no biggie, just a little muscle ache.   FF two days later and it feels like it's getting worse.   The odd thing is that it's more...

Getting to the point where we are going to have to look at getting a replacement for my vehicle.   I hate the idea of this process, and honestly haven't really had to do any car shopping for probably close to 20 years (I just seem to get hand-me-downs as others get new cars).   Anyway, we are a...

Looking like less games with 50+ O/Us than last week, and a lot of predicted blowouts.   The only 3 above 50pts are Clev/Tenn, Jax/Minn, Indy/Tex .   LaR/Az is next with 48.   Pace up games are:  LaR/Az, Clev/Tenn, and LaC/NE.   Might be a week to pay up for 2-3 RBs as the top Rush Potential...

Realizing how damn old this guy is, and knowing he might be the best that exists at his skill walking the planet..... LINK I have been watching this for the last 30mins, and......  :bow:

I will be putting my thoughts (word vomit, maybe? ;)   )  into this thread now instead of the FD one.  Took most of my $ out of FD and moved it to DK after last week's live scoring debacle.   Will put more stat thoughts together, but I did notice that since they took so long to update...

Starting my process first with looking at spreads and implied totals.   I am not sure I remember a week like this.  13 games, 26 teams.   8 games over 50pts for an over/under (one is Balt/Wash with Baltimore a huge favorite), and 18 of the 26 teams have implied totals over 24pts.   Might be an...

I don't know what to do in cases like this.   I am deciding on 1 cash LU.   I wrote down what I thought would be chalk - a build around Zeke/Henry/Taylor.   I go to check with the RG optimizer and it keeps spitting out LUs without Zeke and with a WR in the flex.   Thought that was odd, so I...
