Again I ask - why can't the pictures be posted in the OP in addition to the tweet? Some people are blocked from Twitter at their companies.

EDIT: I see someone posted the picture. Thank you.

I walked out of that movie behind 2 mid to late 50-something women and overheard them discussing; "Boy that was rough, but ya know, it's all true tho."..."Yup. Hard to believe that all that stuff really happened..."

not make it through that movie.  I think Tarantino offiicially stopped being good at Kill Bill.  I enjoyed some parts of Death Proof, but not a whole lot of it.  I feel like Tarantino now only tries to "go Tarantino" on all possible material instead of just making good movies.  His new movies just are caricatures of his earlier movies.  It has been disappointing to me that he has shown such a limited range in terms of what he can bring to the screen.

In inglorious bastards is an amazing scene. I really thought Tarantino did a great job with this film overall. I think in all of his films, some of the scenes are a little too Tarantino, but most of the time I enjoy his work. I finally watched wolf of Wall Street and hated it. It actually felt like Scorsese was trying to emulate Tarantino but didn't do a good job of it. Which is probably ironic since I'm guessing Tarantino was aping Scorsese in some of his work.

Wolf was just Scorcese trying to go MOAR Scorcese and ending up with a real hit or miss endeavor.  As an entire picture it was pretty terrible but I can honestly say that there are two or three scenes in that movie that are some of the funniest stuff I have ever seen.  The entire McConnahay sequence was unforgettable, the scene where they are questioning the guy who had the orgy in Belfort's condo and his "bad trip" at the Country Club were also absolutely hilarious and uniformly brilliant.

I did not see much Tarantino in that movie, though.  I thought it was Goodfellas on speed without weapons.  That movie was always in a hurry, Tarantino is slow to a fault, almost still at times.

is really uncommon for a director's first full length theatrical release to be his best, but I think it is absolutely the case with him.  I think Resevoir Dogs is easily, easily, his best movie and probably one of the 10-15 movies ever made.  Pulp Fiction was good but could have dumped nearly two entire story lines.

Interesting note on Jaylen Brown as well that probably doesn't deserve its own thread. Many of the national guys were saying that Brown went completely silent and wasn't talking to coaches or taking in-homes. Sam Webb basically said this morning that, contrary to those reports, Brown has kept in touch with certain schools and insinuated that those top schools have visited him in-home. Webb made it sound like Michigan was one of the schools that he's kept in touch with and that visited.

Webb said he didn't want to say any more than that in order to protect the kid's privacy and his wish that the recruitment stay quiet and that he didn't want to hurt Michigan's chances by talking too much.

I thought it was said that Kenny Williams was not a contingency plan? I don't know how we would make room, but that was my understanding.

And I am absolutely fine with Dawkins starting over Wagner. My point was more that we have tons of talent and only so many minutes.
