Boondock saints is a good movie? I remember a friend was raving about that movie years ago so I put it on, couldn't make it 10 minutes. I remember Willem Dafoe dancing around like an idiot at some crime scene while listening to his walkman. I don't know guys, seemed like a really lame, cheesy flick to me. Maybe I'll have to give it a second look.

I'm in the same boat here. I tried to watch it and gave up on it pretty quick. I may try it again some time. It was just really weird to me. JMO

It's kinda in the same vein as Snatch, Lock, Stock, and 2 Smoking Barrels, and Trainspotting. It's definitely a little strange, but is intended to be. But it's a very entertaining and quotable movie IMO.

Give it a second chance, Ron. I have found that most I've talked about it with either really love it or can't stand it. Just one of those movies I guess...

I'm not Catholic, but the movie is extremely popular among Catholics I've found. Probably because they wish they could be the two brothers.

Give it a second look. Sit down with a nice chocolate stout or IPA (or Sam Adams if you want to embrace the setting), and savor the epicness that is Boonedock Saints. It's hilarious. But, be careful because you will find yourself having thoughts of killing people who you find to be less productive members of society.

See, I like those movies. I own Snatch and Trainspotting and have seen them many times, Snatch is one of my favorites. But those are well made movies; well directed, well written and well acted. I thought Boondock Saints, at least the first 10 minutes or so, came off as a bad script made by a bad director. I'll give it another try though as it seems to have a large following!

I've been on a Dexter binge lately so I already feel that way lol

For those of you that haven't watched Dexter, give it a shot, I've been watching all the seasons on Netflix lately and that series is as good as TV gets, IMO.

Dexter is great, but I've only gotten through the first couple seasons. Dang kids. If it's not Bubble Guppies or live sports, it's not on at mi casa.

One of my all time favs. Yeah, it does kind of start out a little slow, but after you get past the first police station scene, the movie picks up.

Even though I really liked the first one, I thought the sequel sucked.

Tennessee added another piece to its basketball puzzle this morning as juco G Devon Baulkman signed with the Vols: https://tennessee.rivals.com/content.asp?CID=1640741 …
Click to expand...


It feels great, I'm glad that it's worked out and settled now," Baulkman said on Tuesday morning after word of signing was released. "That was real tough when coach Tyndall moved to Tennessee. You know that kind of stuff happens everywhere in college basketball, but when it happens to you it really gets crazy.

"I didn't know what was going to happen for a few days. I think this is a great situation though, I'm happy to be a part of things up at Tennessee, I think we're going to do some big things." "I knew that I wanted to stay with coach Tyndall wherever he went, so when I heard from coach (Chris) Shumate about a week or so after they got to Tennessee and I got my release, I was really happy," Baulkman offered.

I looked at everything before I signed and I really picked Southern Miss because of coach Tyndall's system and the way I felt like fit in it. He gives his guards chances to make plays, opportunities to show what they can do from different spots on the floor. That system, and his personality, he's just the kind of coach for me."

"I don't have any worries about that," Baulkman said of not using an official visit. "I know the coaches up there well enough to trust that I'm going into a good situation. (Asst.) Coach Shumate is someone I have a great relationship with and he's answered all the questions I've got about it. Having him as part of the staff up there just made everything about the decision a lot easier."

So far with two schollies left. Carmichael is committing tonight. Owens should commit on his OV. Then we've got:

Chiles/Mostella
Hubbs/Punter/Mostella
Richardson/Moore/Baulkman
Reese/Carmichael/McGhee
McKnight/Owens/Pops

Kind of thin at PG, but you can sell a 2015 elite PG on playing time after Chiles is gone. Should have our full team set in the middle of next week

Chiles (6-1, 200), led IUPUI in scoring last year at 15.8 points per game as a high scoring off-guard, but he'll get a chance to assume a different role in Knoxville. After graduating this spring, Chiles will immediately be able to play next season with one year of eligibility.

"I really was looking for a place where I would have a chance to show that I can be a lead guard, that I can run an offense and create and I think I'll get the chance to do that at Tennessee," Chiles said. "I really think I can be a point guard and one of the things I wanted to see on my visit was if Tennessee was just telling me I would get a chance to play it or if they believed I could do it.

"I love the way the use ball screens to free guys up and create action either from the drive or from the help defense coming over," Chiles said of the fit. "They're offense puts a lot of emphasis on being able to turn corners off of ball screens and that's a big part of my game."

"My sister, India Chiles, was an All-SEC softball player at Tennessee in 2008, so I've been down there a lot, very familiar with the campus and the area," Chiles said. "Then, (asst. coach) Chris Shumate's brother played with my brother at Murray State and I've known him for a long time through that. "There was just a real high comfort level for me at Tennessee. It's a great opportunity for me and I think a place where I can maximize my ability."
