The Front Porch / Re: Dance compellation
Last post by Jolly Blue Giant - March 28, 2024, 10:22:54 PM
Glad you liked them, Lenn. I, too, like to watch dancing. When I was a younger man, I loved to dance and was always the first one to drag a woman to the dance floor. Not that I was any good, but I had a few moves and didn't embarrass myself (I don't think anyway). I remember back in the early 90's and I was really impressed by this woman who was in our ski club. She was silky smooth with dance moves, so I asked her how she learned to dance. She told me she started lessons at 3-years-old in Philadelphia and never stopped taking lessons. She was in perfect shape, about 35 yrs old, 5'8" 115-120 lbs, and told me she was a professional dancer. She dragged me to the dance floor and I was worried sick because I thought I'd look stupid as her partner on the floor (she drew a lot of attention, not only from me, but the whole crowd). Anyway, she insisted and told me she'd make me look good...and that she did. It was like driving power steering for the first time in my life. Any move I made, she countered in a way that looked like I planned it. She spun, dipped with my hand on her back and she felt like she weighed nothing. I was mesmerized by her...still am if truth be told

Anyway, in that first clip, I fell in love with Rita Hayworth. I always thought she was just another sexy, pretty actress that was before my time, like Anne Margaret or Audrey Hepburn. Heard her name off and on, but really knew nothing of her. Well she blew me away with her dancing and I think she outdanced Astaire. Flawless, smooth, perfect timing...and in a dress and high heels. All I could think was she reminded me of that girl I danced with who was a professional...only better. She's incredible  #:-S Made me think she'd be a good golfer because she held her head motionless while her body did crazy things and that is the key to being a good golfer - keeping your head completely still as your body turns, twists, whips, etc

You probably know more than half the people in the second clip. The woman who wants to hear music in the beginning is Rosario Dawson (the hottie in MIB II, Sin City, and about a hundred other movies), Tom Cruise of course, Jennifer Lopez in the red dress, Carmen Diaz in kid's underpants bending over and again later in the clip. And of course, Will Ferrel and Chris Kattan...never cared much for Ferrel's acting (overacting) and you probably wouldn't know Kattan unless you watched a lot of Saturday Night Live back in the 90's. Then there's Brad Pitt, Hugh Grant, Jason Strahan banging his head against the seat ahead of him, Jim Carey (who is actually a superb dancer...and an overactor), Rowan Atkinson (aka Mr. Bean who has one of the highest IQs in the world if you can believe that - 178), Rob Schneider, Ben Stiller, Kate Hudson (Goldie Hawn's daughter) was the girl on the left with two girls dancing in the living room, Will Smith, Jamie Lee Curtis falling in front of Arnold Schwarzenegger in "True Lies, Sven Otten (professional dancer), Catherine O'Hara (the mother in "Home Alone" and "Up Schitts Creek"), Shawn William Scott in "Road Trip" (hilarious movie), "American Pie" (aka Stiffler), "Old School", etc., , Nicolas Cage as a dancing priest, Jennifer Aniston, etc. The dance scene from "Pulp Fiction" with Uma Thurman and Travolta are both professional dancers. There's even a rock song about dancing like Uma Thurman...with a riff stolen from the Munster's tv show


But man-o-man, Rita Hayworth blows me away  #:-S  I think I'm in love

Lock has gotten better with his command and recognition. Yes, he looked bad with the Broncs..lost. Probably a combination of a bad fit and his college experience leaving him unprepared.

We'll see if Daboll can mold him-he is a backup, after all.

Probably McCarthy for me, but I could be wrong. I'm not down on McCarthy but I really like the ceilings of the other three.

Drake Maye and it's an easy answer for me.  I think Williams and Daniels are the top QBs followed by JJ though he isn't on their level.  And then the rest of them get lumped in.  I just don't see much difference between Maye and guys like Penix and Nix and maybe even Rattler as far as NFL prospects go.  Maybe he impresses in the meetings or in the class room but on the field I'm not seeing top 5 pick.

Big Blue Huddle / Top 4 QB's

 Out of the top 4 QBs, who is the one you would NOT like the Giants to draft?

I know there has been a big difference of opinion here. I am not a college guy so all I know about any of these guys is what I read here and acknowledge the wealth of info I receive from all the posters.
So who would you not want the Giants to draft out of the top 4 guys?

2022 showed the Giants can slim down a playbook, lean on a skill position and make the playoffs.

 Loved them, Ric. In fact, I just forwarded them to many of my friends. Great stuff.

I only knew about 1/2 the movies from the second clip but no mind, it all went together brilliantly.

Quote from: JPPT1974 on March 28, 2024, 08:29:25 PMWell as it would be surprising. Then it would not be surprising. As JJ is a future NFL star regardless of NFL team. But hope he can really be in the league for the long haul. Question is if he will land with the Giants or where?! But he has a promising future.

Welcome to the board.
