What? Because voters didn’t think he was the best player in the league 15 times? Like I don’t know what answer you want here. Fwiw according to VORP he should have had 9.

“It’s typically hard to notice thanks to all the outsized hype it gets from Nolan fanboys.”

WTF are you talking about. You think people are going to die because of some guy’s slightly snide but mostly massively frustrated comment on kinja?

I know this b/c I’ve listened to Jon Miller call a lot of Giants games and he always says “automatic double” and often explains this.

ZAP! Ruder.

I actually don’t know if they have a native actress (actually, just looked, and yes, Blu Hunt, who is playing Danielle Moonstar, is native american), but the comic has a native character who I remember being a very good an fully realized person (as opposed to “hey look an indian!”), though it’s been years.

You know that if someone made that movie they’d be accused of “ripping off the Da Vinci Code” :P

Sounds like someone hasn’t seen Jesus Christ, Supercop:

For some reason I am hearing that in the Korg voice. Not sure if that was intended...

Fair point on Johnny Depp, but I don’t think ascribing the treatment of Cuckoo’s Nest to “hollywood” is particularly accurate. Telling the story from the first-person point of view of a mute is either going to be confusing or involve a lot of probably-grating voiceover. Also even the book is *about* McMurphy and…

Well, they probably matter to some of the HoF voters - fair point that their relationship to actual defensive value is....tenuous.

Cool. I’m headed over to a knitting forum to tell them i think their hobby is boring. Thanks for contributing.

It’s a cool sounding word, but on the other hand it means like a mild breeze, which isn’t really in keeping with what I expect an NFL team would want to project...

Eh, the funny ones are funny. The cringey ones are cringey. To paraphrase Breakfast Club (because that’s the kind of up-to-date references I traffic in), “the jokes haven’t changed, you have.”

Otoh, one of my favorite moments is when Buffy tells Riley who she is. “I’m the slayer....the chosen one?...she who hangs about in graveyards?....you’re kidding.”

Or rather she’s too dumb to bother to look it up. Nobody’s intelligence should be judged on their knowledge of Jim Carrey’s citizenship.

I mean, anyone over 45 or so? There are still a number of us who live here.
