Your “What Did You Think Would Happen?” Wednesday Evening Open Thread

NFL News:

  • Well, that was quick: former Bengal George Iloka has signed with the Vikings.
    • It’s a one-year deal, terms undisclosed.
    • Mike Zimmer was his DC with the Bengals before leaving for the Vikings himself.
  • AJ McCarron has been limited in practice due to a bruised collarbone.
    • It was feared broken, but much like his throwing motion it defied explanation.
  • Team releases:
    • Panthers: DE Charles Johnson officially retired after he was released in February.
      • He played 11 seasons, and retires second in Panthers history for sacks.
    • Chiefs: RB Charcandrick West was released after four seasons.
    • I can’t believe this guy used that word.

      Colts: Play-by-play announcer Bob Lamey “retired” after using a racial slur in an off-air situation.

      • The 80 year-old “legend and icon”, according to Bob Irsay, who had been with the Colts since 1984, dropped an N-bomb in a joke he was repeating, according to a press release.
      • His “retirement” came after staff complaints about the joke being overheard, and the language contained therein.
  • Crimebeat! material:
    • Ravens CB Jimmy Smith – suspended four games for violating the League’s player conduct policy.
    • Panthers WR DJ Moore – caught going 113 MPH in a 60 zone on I-77.

Instead of prepping for the upcoming semester, I’ve now spent the last half hour thinking on the worst movie I’ve ever paid to see… still goes to Jason Goes to Hell.

Troll 2 was a rental, and by that point, I was experienced enough in MST3k to just make fun of it. My brother and I did the same thing during Alien Vs. Predator. Batman and Robin was just too goddamn awful (and boring) to even riff on, plus I saw that disasterpiece before being exposed to MST3k.. All that said (typed?), Jason Goes to Hell has a special place for me in it’s shittiness. It’s incomprehensible, it betrays everything a Friday the 13th movie should be, and it’s just not fun. At all.

Fuck that movie with BOLTMAN’S lightening rod.

Wakezilla

For me, it’s a toss up between Blair Witch Project and Matrix 2: Electric Boogaloo

ALXMAC

True Story: I got “shusshed” druing Blair Witch Project for telling my GF (at the time) what was happening.

Wakezilla

Scariest thing that happened in that movie theater for me that night was paying over $5 for a fountain come in 199whatever year that was. Fucking terrible

ballsofsteelandfury

$5 for fountain come? It seems a bit steep for something you can produce yourself but if it’s straight from the tap I guess it’s worth it?

ALXMAC

ACHIEVEMENT UNLOCKED: I just watched one of the ten worst movies I’ve ever seen in my life:
Patient Zero – starring the hottest chick from GOT (Margaery Tyrell), one of the Dr. Whos, Jon Snows BFF from GOT (Samwell Tarly), and Stanley Tucci.

WCS

I still debate which is the worst movie I ever paid to see:

Jason Goes to Hell (rental)
Batman and Robin (in theater)
Alien Vs. Predator (theater)
Troll 2 (rental)

I still feel that Jason Goes To Hell takes the title. What a shitstain of a movie. I didn’t expect much from the other three, but, shit, did Batman and Robin crush comicbook WCS.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Terminator: Genisys
In Imax.

I WIN!!!!!!!!!

ALXMAC

yeah that movie was pretty awful, but there were some cool scenes in the movie: Arnold S(sic) fighting himself at Griffith Park was cool.

theeWeeBabySeamus

It’s almost a self-contained parody of itself.

Only flick I’ve seen in a theatre I have more contempt for is Independence Day: Resurgence.

But at least I was high for that one and in good company.

King Hippo

the original Independence Day was really goddamned bad

ALXMAC

I disagree. The 2nd ID4 was god awful but the original was a sign of the times.

theeWeeBabySeamus

I didn’t pay to see original ID4.
Paid a high price for ID42.

I walked out of Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil halfway through. Turned off the DVD rental of Any Given Sunday after maybe 15 minutes. Those are my two worst, by category.

WCS

I very much enjoy Any Given Sunday.

Paid to see is a whole nother catagoryI paid to see Dr. Giggles.

I loved that movie; were you just mad at the story or how it was made?

I worked on this movie, starring Joey’s brother:

Brick Meathook

No, my doctor said if I worked on another shitty movie I could die.

Senor Weaselo

Manos, the Hands of Fate. Okay, I saw the MST3K version, but still! And the Star Wars Holiday Special, but we were drinking.

Can’t recall the worst thing I’ve seen in theaters, because I don’t go often, so it better be fucking good.

There is never not traffic in LA. If I have to live in this crappy reality, then I want teleportation to work (and be price accessible)

About ten minutes ago I was in another room (stupid laundry) when I could’ve sworn I heard the Angels’ play-by-play guy say “That’s a great fuckin song” on Fox Sports West. Nah, couldn’t be, whatever.

Just now: “I’d like to apologize for saying a word I shouldn’t have said when describing a song I heard over the stadium PA. I thought I had pressed the “mute” button but apparently I did not. It will never happen again, and I sincerely apologize to anyone who heard it.” (pause) “It was a really good song.”

I’m a Ohio State Alumnus so I’m not impartial, but I think they handled this okay. Meyer didn’t deserve to be fired, but he did deserve punishment for misleading/lying on Media Day.

One of the main things every Ohio State student (former/current/future) and fan enjoys is pride for being a part of The Ohio State University. Its not smugness; its pride. When you do anything to hurt that image, that hurts everyone connected to Ohio State.

herodotus450

Can’t wait for everyone to not read any of the investigation report, and continue to parrot the opinion they formed three weeks ago based on half conversation text message screenshots.

theeWeeBabySeamus

….that hurts everyone connected to Ohio State.

You say that as if it was a bad thing.

Sorry, couldn’t resist. At least you’re not U*NC or Maryland.

nomonkeyfun

Two things about the suspension.
First, I’m sceptical about the nature of the investigation. Would anyone be shocked if tOSU was covering shit up to save the best coach in the B1G?
Second, how does he get paid?
Is it gamechecks, or is he a regular salary type employee?
If the former, this will at least hit him in the wallet.

herodotus450

Article I saw about the investigators mentioned that they are “famous” in the world of sprots investigations, including the Saints bounty thing. I also can’t think of a college coach that has ever been suspended for games? Usually just fired, or swept under the rug until later and then fired.

herodotus450

So I guess he gets to go to pratice but not the games? Don’t know, I only half listed to the first 5 minutes of the press conference before jumping to conclusions

Redshirt

Meyer is suspended three games.

(checks schedule)

Okay, losing him against #5 OSU (west coast edition) may hurt, but Rutgers and TCU isn’t much of a miss.

If they wanted to prove a point, suspend him for PSU, MSU and That School Up North.

There seems to be some confusion, so please spread the word.

1. If anything is added into the toilet, that warrants a flush.
2. Please don’t add anything to the toilet is not either the size of the exit pipe of the bowl or something that will be reduced in size via water and/or the pressure of the flush.
3. If the contents of the toilet cannot go down by normal flush operation, please don’t add anything else to the toilet until the toilet has been returned to full working order.

I thought this was all understood, because I’m finding evidence that I’m proved wrong. I gotta deal with my own crap, I don’t want to deal with yours.

So this Paul Manafort verdict, what do you think will happen next? A conviction followed by a pardon after the midterms? Or, are we actually going to have thousands of people in DC and New York extremely concerned to find out it’s still possible to be convicted for white collar crimes and they could be next?

Lots of fun* unsubstantiated facts** about a pardon scenario. Like that if he’s pardoned, he cannot invoke the 5th amendment about the crimes hes was pardoned for? So he could be pardoned and then compelled to testify about the crimes including his coconspirators

Nothing.

Trump could literally rape/murder a puppy on live tv and enough people in the US would stand behind him that congress will do fuck all to him.

Ian Scott McCormick

I guess it depends on what Paul can actually give Trump. On his own, probably not much, but he’s buddies with a lot of powerful people. Maybe they can compel Trump to do something.
Other than that he’s relying on Trump’s loyalty. Because it doesn’t cost him a hell of a lot to just let him rot in there. I don’t know that I’d be very confident in that coming through for me if I were him.

Redshirt

Nothing. The Republicans have sworn a blood oath to Trump and I’m 100% convinced the Democrats are allergic to success.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Nothing too exciting with Manafort. I think he loses again at trial in D.C. next month (Amy Berman Jackson won’t fuck around like Ellis did and get a hung jury) and goes to prison for a very long time and keeps his mouth shut until he dies of a heart attack in about six years or so. The cost of pardoning him is too high for Trump, and the cost of him spilling his guts to Mueller is too high for himself because it will cause a bunch of Russians to literally spill his guts.
