The #Giants make official that two-time Super Bowl winner Chris Snee is now a "senior scout" in the personnel department. The team says he will be "involved in both college and pro scouting."

"I'm super excited about it," Snee said. "I'm a Giant, and I always have been, despite having worn Jaguars clothes for four years when I scouted down there. Everyone knows my heart has always been here. This is where I feel like I belong and where I want to be, and I'm going to come in and work my tail off."

In the other movie, Get Back, they explain the reason for them being there. Since this performance on the roof really wasn't planned that way. They got up there and started singing and playing. One lady who lived right there called the police complaining all the noise was ruining her afternoon nap. The Bobby came up and was sort of ushered away. He called his sergeant and then several Bobbies came up there to investigate this unannounced concert. It was very funny, the legendary Beatles were performing and the police wanted to intervene because some woman's nap time was being disturbed.

I've seen that rooftop performance a few times. Something a lot of people miss, is Lennon forgetting his words and covering with some babble and the other guys look at him and smirk because they know what just happened...LOL

I have a question first. Where was the base runner at the point the third strike was mishandled by the catcher?

I agree; however, if he had already stolen 2nd base, he would be awarded 3rd. Most likely though, he had yet to reach 2nd with the passed ball, so he'd probably be forced back to 2nd. Truth is, I don't know. I played baseball in H.S. and in college, and I know that I am always trying to figure out a rule when something happens that's out of the ordinary. Hell, even professional umps in MLB have to gather together to figure out a rule now and then

Quote from: DaveBrown74 on May 09, 2024, 07:23:20 PMNo mention of Madonna anywhere?

Well, she's definitely more into the pop genre of music and not rock. Plus, I just never cared for her. She has a good voice, it just seems to me that she felt she couldn't sell her music without it being packaged in sex. And of course, sex sells. Sweet little "Hannah Montana" figured that one out, once she decided to sing as an adult. Like Madonna, Miley is strictly "pop" and not "rock"

Hannah Montana then

Hannah Montana now
And that's without dancing with, and humping a giant phallus while singing...LOL

Britney Spears finds herself naked on the internet a lot, but at least not while she's singing or on stage flashing flesh. Problem with Britney (adorableness and cuteness aside), she's nuttier than a fruitcake, and instead of her cute videos, she now dances with big sharp knives in a bikini and puts it on "X"...duhh. She should redo that old song, "They're coming to take me away, ahee, ahah". And again...not rock, but pop


I know more about pop music than most men my age because I lived with a woman for seven years who was 33 years younger than me, and I let her choose the music we listened to in the car. I'd come home at midnight after being out with the boys and I could hear my stereo blasting from outside my house, and I'd find her dancing on my coffee table, using a hairbrush as a make-believe mic, singing along with Shania Twain. I actually miss that part of her 

I speculated after game 2 if PL would sit Rempe and somewhat surprisingly he did. But I thought Brodzinski might be suited up and didn't see Chytil as the choice.  Might we see Wheeler before it's all over?

BTW, these end of period goals are giving me heart failure!!

Quote from: LennG on May 09, 2024, 08:31:35 PMYou put a lot of effort into this post. Much appreciated. I also liked the movie very much but I wouldn't call it a masterpiece and far from his best work. Pulp Fiction is far and away a better movie and is always listed among the best movies ever made.
I really didn't notice most of the things you mentioned and when I do rewatch it, I will definitely look for them.

It's funny, when I did watch this movie, I thought to myself, WOW a Tarantino movie with any blood. I hadn't gotten to the ending when I was thinking that. Foolish me.

Slow day with nothing to do, so I put it together. That's going to change quickly as I have surgery next week and I have to take my mother to surgery a couple days later - both being done in different cities. It was a fun exercise that didn't take as long as you might think. I'm a huge fan of Tarantino, even though I don't go crazy over his movies. I appreciate his mindset and how he thinks...unique is an understatement. I am also a history buff and the last couple of years, enjoy studying pop culture...so the two crossed paths

In one of Tarantino's interviews, he said what he wanted to accomplish more than anything, was showing the world that Sharon Tate had a real life, and not just a name people remember for having been brutally murdered in one of the most horrendous ways imaginable. He was only a young kid when the murder happened and his father wouldn't tell him what happened even though it was all the news, and happened just a few miles from his home

My biggest criticism of the film is that it stopped short of the Tate murders, leaving everyone hanging. The other criticism of mine, is that they barely showed Manson. I think he was in one scene that lasted a few seconds. Apparently, a lot of the Manson stuff was cut from the film, but to me, it would have been better if it focused more on Manson, the family, and the life of Tate (apart from being a party girl with a sweet temperament). As it was, it was more about life in "'69 Hollywood", played out by DiCaprio and Pitt, about declining actors/stuntmen, with a side story about the Manson family and the life of Sharon Tate. I think a lot of Manson stuff was cut out for the sake of the family, and the whole mess of Manson's life was maybe too emotional for a lot of people. Bizarre, Satanic, ugly, horrendous...whatever adjective you want to give it - it was gruesome and beyond sane thinking by anyone. On the other hand, that's right in Tarantino's wheelhouse

The genre is basically "Historical Fiction", yet in some ways borderlines being a documentary. Even though it wasn't my favorite movie of his, it left more of an impression on me than most of his other stuff. There's a lot in "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood" that I'll never forget, and also gives me a different perspective on how I saw the '60's
