Recruiting Forum Football Talk IV

[gainesvol82]

No...I've not, and I have never read any of the stories and I am glad that I haven't..it would probably ruin the show for me if I did.

I don't understand why they can't do these adaptations like Peter Jackson did LotR..I understand pretty much every change that had to be made, and he threw a bullseye in the main characters and especially Middle Earth....every place looks exactly like it is described in the books, and the characters are who they are in the books.

What is really driving me crazy with the show is all the time wasted on conversations with characters that don't even exist in the books while ignoring that book 1 was an adventure by 9 characters with some great side characters. Constantly something dangerous happening, being hunted and chased by evil.

Instead we get to hear a Warder who isn't even in the books cry about an Aes Sedai who wasn't in the books. That 20 minutes could have been spent on something exciting. I mean, it's all freaking written out for them...they just have to not F it up. And Loial was terribly done. Tar Valon and Dragonmount were underwhelming, no Caemlyn, no Elyas Machera, no world building or character development among the main characters. Do they honestly think this is more interesting than the actual story?

A year ago and I would have agreed.

1970’s say hello…

I liked The Brady Bunch, but male perms need to stay gone forever.

The 80s are easily the worst decade in modern human history. Terrible fashion, largely forgettable music and many failed genres, the rise of the yuppie and wall street greed culture, and the cars were downright HIDEOUS. It's like everyone lost their mind and sense of aesthetics for a decade...maybe a little longer.

I blame the 1980 UGA football team. The world should never forget.

I loved the eighties, but I loved the nineties even more...it has been a slow decent into hell ever since.

I’m seeing more of the 70s, “Dazed and Confused” look. Much cooler than the basic mullet.

What i love about these high school women... I get older and they stay the same age, yes they do.

 

[engineerVOL]

Lol umm….

Talk about awkward. Miami what is you doin’

 

[orangejuice]

I agree...Harry Potter was not done well after PoA.

I really enjoyed the Harry Potter movies…until I read the books. The books are sooo much better than the movies. I enjoy reading books and Harry Potter is still tops for me.

I was a kid in the 80s. It was an absolute awesome time to grow up. I’m also just old enough to remember that if the President came on TV, it screwed your whole night up!!

I concur. I’m guessing by your screen name that we were born the same year.

 

[Big Sun]

Who is that on Woodersons t-shirt?

I’d have to guess what year for you, but your assumption is correct lol

Echoes is amazing on that movie! I had the privilege of visiting Pompeii with my daughter and of course had to wear my Pink Floyd concert T-shirt. She couldn't believe a band actually played there. I was surprised to see posters where Gilmour had done a concert again at the colosseum.

Very cool story man. Watching them play songs from Meddle and Ummagumma blew my mind when I was in my early teens. I sometimes wish I was old enough to have seen them and other greats in concert in their prime.

 

[BSOVOL1967]

So, talking some 1970's... The Mighty Led Zeppelin says hello...

 

[Nashvegas31]

Someone on P5 level needs to hire West Ky OC. Dude is legit from this year and what he did at Houston Baptist. Wr schemes open for days but have dropped them

 

[Weezer]

Can't tell for sure, but looks like Jim Morrison.

Not even close to being right.

It's woke LGBwhatever fan fiction.

My biggest regret (I can or could do nothing about) was never getting to see them live. ‘94 in Nashville would have been my only chance…

I loved the 80’s too, which is the decade I spent my late teens/early 20’s. I thought the alternative music was awesome (early REM, U2, The Cure, Rush, The Smiths, I could go on).

Yes..absolutely

This is fan opinion...not knowledge. Don't need RTI claiming Ewers to Knoxville per "insider". I just think Sark stock is trending down...in contrast to one calendar year back.

Yep..I was born in 68 so we must be close to the same age

 

[butchna]

Wait whut?.....are you saying what I think you are saying?

No!

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

No!

Gotcha

You’re my brother’s age.
