Do yourself a favor. Don’t read anything about it. Spoilers will truly spoil the show. -

The Good Place is one of favorite shows of all-time. Smart, hilarious, clever, full of surprises and kept evolving. Ended it’s four year run with a perfect and very satisfying conclusion. Highly recommend. -
Keith Moon is mesmerizing.

Who Live at Leeds is my favorite live album. A shame there wasn't a video recording.

He's not the messiah but a very silly boy. He was a great one. -

One of my 2019 favorites. It could have been low-brow schlock but they created complex characters while making it entertaining and hilarious without using forced melodrama to propel the story. IMO, Eddie Murphy deserved the Gold Globe Award. -
Controversy is the only way to make that thing relevant.

Article comparing Josh Allen to other 1st round QBs
Max Fischer replied to CorkScrewHill's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Serious question: What do you believe makes him "Make" or "Break" - and do you think that is different from most fans, and more important, from the Bills Execs and Coaches? There are so many factors to determine success it would make my head hurt. Wins is one but as we've seen repeatedly this season, stats don't necessarily translate into team success. -
OK, that's pretty funny. I'm "old" but thought 8 Mile was great.

I haven't found the TEAM stats but for QBs, Allen and the Bills convert 3rd and long passes at a decent clip. In fact, Allen ranked 7th among the QBs here: http://stats.washingtonpost.com/fb/leaders.asp?range=NFL&rank=047&type=Passing&year= As for the raw number of 3rd and Longs, I haven't found the team number but the above link suggests the Bills are about average for the number of attempted passes in third and long. To find the average, I used the QBs that seemed to have played every game (that is, eliminated Mahomes, etc).

I'm curious how many viewers care about historical accuracy in movies/TV. I understand that some things are changed to provide story flow and even the use of material not "disproven" but I have a real problem with blatently "changing history." This was my problem with Inglorious Bastards. It was enjoyable up until they killed Hitler and his key general staff in the theater. That's an extreme case and could be chalked up to creating Hollywood fantasy but it's just not necessary and contributes to historical illiteracy. There are countless story plots without completely changing history. Likewise, it wasn't necessary for Scorsese to use Frank Sheeran's fantastical book when there are so many as-good storylines that are very true. Even in Goodfellas, where they changed the names and never really pretended it was "history," did not take nearly as many liberties with what actually happened. There are so many examples of movies lazily changing verifiable facts, I just don't get it. One last example, and almost no viewer will care, is the "The King" on Netflix. It's the "historical" account of Henry V's rise and defeat of the French at Agincourt. A sort of side-by-side with Shakespeare's "Henry V." Shakespeare didn't have much trouble making historical changes to make a good story but he relied on biased accounts (which, for the most part, were the only ones readily available) and was not shy about promoting Tudor propaganda to entertain the masses. However, in "The King," modern filmmakers made made unnecessary changes to history to drive the story, namely the fate of Henry's brother (who was himself an important figure after Henry's death) and the French Dauphin, neither of which would make any difference but they do it anyway. End of rant.

My Offseason Primer, Position Group: QB
Max Fischer replied to MAJBobby's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Personally, I think it would be malpractice For the Bills to expend one more dime or one minute in draft prep on a QB. We are set for next year. -
Ricky Gervais nailed it!! Golden Globe opening

Well, the room was indeed full of the industry's best actors. -
Ricky Gervais nailed it!! Golden Globe opening
Max Fischer replied to BringBackFergy's topic in Off the Wall Archives
I love Ricky Gervais, he's always good. What's just as funny is all the folks rejoicing that Gervais is putting "Hollywood" in it's place, telling truth to power in some kind of unexpected rant against whatever it is you don't like. However, Ricky's bits are nothing new, he says it EVERY year, at every forum. He goes after everyone, it's what he does best. Now the real ironic part is the people who believe Ricky went rouge. No, he was HIRED to do it, the producers would be disappointed if it didn't go viral. You could feel the rumbling as millions as channels flipped from Fox News to NBC. Mission Accomplished and it wasn't even difficult. -
Okay, which one of you Cassanovas are on Bumble?
Max Fischer replied to PromoTheRobot's topic in Off the Wall Archives
Ruined Casino? Blasphemy. I thought she was outstanding and tied the movie together. The perfect combination of loving and hating her character. All the self-destructive qualities needed to rise to the top of the social ladder that ultimately led to her doom. IMO, Scorsese's best female character; even edging out the great Lorraine Bracco.
