OT, Schmo-Tea: Will Hunting Returning for 3rd Year
Great news, our greatest post-COVID year pickup: MIT graduate transfer and Larry and Lucinda Page Director of Data Analytics, Will Hunting, is returning for a 3rd year. Hunting (shown below cracking the OSU play calling codes at halftime) turned down a lucrative position with the NSA to return to the Wolverines.
When reached for comment, thee Ohio State football coach Ryan Day had this to say: "I don't like dem apples!"

Getting tired of everyone and their grandma thinking they need to post something... but at least this one looks like some effort was put into it. Even made me crack a smile!

I hope this doesn't change your mind, but being fully transparent, the effort was really only about 15 mins of PowerPoint work.
December 5th, 2022 at 12:10 PM ^
Well, that's about 14:50 more than some threads we've seen lately....
December 5th, 2022 at 12:48 PM ^
That's 14.5 more minutes than most posts take.
December 5th, 2022 at 11:24 AM ^
I had a good talking to with my grandma after she posted the 17th post about Cade transferring to Iowa.

You like titles?
How do you like these titles?

Will he be promoting crypto?

Right up to the point where either everything crashes or he suddenly dies.
December 5th, 2022 at 9:38 AM ^
extremely solid photo shop effort. we'll give it two claps.
December 5th, 2022 at 10:18 AM ^
Getting two claps sounds painful and requires a lot of antibiotics
December 5th, 2022 at 12:49 PM ^
Not if you get them at the same time. Then it's just one round.
December 5th, 2022 at 9:41 AM ^
I was ready to neg the hell out of this but the bottom photo changed my mind.
Good work.

Wanna go to Ohio and beat up some dumb kids?

Do you mean OSU students?
December 5th, 2022 at 9:53 AM ^
did you really think that this was (a) funny, (b) a good idea and (c) likely to be well received?
Although, I guess I did actually find the 2nd picture to be pretty funny, so there's that!
December 5th, 2022 at 9:55 AM ^
Maybe I didn't hit the mark, but it was an attempt at a ridiculous reply to the latest OSU fan theory to explain our latest victory and 2nd half performance overall, that we have an advanced play call sign stealing operation.
Also, do I get no point for using the background from the Annexation of Puerto Rico scene from Little Giants? Yeah, ok, obviously if I need to break it down then it's not funny.
December 5th, 2022 at 10:27 AM ^
Your mom is right. Post was funny. Also not OT.
December 5th, 2022 at 11:33 AM ^
Post was awesome. Very on point, making fun of the foolish rival conspiracists, and thus it was great and you should feel great. I'd be happy to see more such posts.

Pay no mind to those who drink Haterade or eat hater tots.

Hawt take. The film just does not hold up. With a critical eye, it is, in fact, preposterous. People do not have "smart-offs" in bars. Never before in the history of the world has such an occurrence played out. On a recent watch, it occurred to me, it is a fantasy movie. Scene after scene after scene of circumstances and situations that simply do not occur, to anybody, in real life.
As always, Robin Williams elevates the material, but this movie fooled me for a long time. It is funny, that remains. (Chucky "negotiating" in Will's absence is great stuff). But it is not the deep, sophisticated film it purports to be.
December 5th, 2022 at 10:20 AM ^
As someone who has this movie in his personal all time top 10, i am obligated to give you a downvote, though I fully recognize that your right to have your own opinion. Even if it is wrong!
December 5th, 2022 at 10:22 AM ^
"Scene after scene after scene of circumstances and situations that simply do not occur, to anybody, in real life"
So 95% of all movies and TV shows?

JASON AND THE ARGONAUTS IS MY FAVORITE DOCUMENTARY YOU JACKASS

I feel like "because it's a tv show/movie/stage production" is a perfectly valid reason for unrealistic things to happen in entertainment. Sometimes the answer to "when Itchy played Scratchy's ribcage like a xylophone, why did striking the same rib produce two distinct notes?" is "it's a cartoon."
December 5th, 2022 at 11:13 AM ^
Well it depends. I feel there's an obligation to set expectations as to what sort of work you're presenting to the audience. Itchy and Scratchy waste no time diving into mutilation comedy, so joke's on the neckbeard picking it apart. Low expectations, low standards. Saving Private Ryan wants you to take it seriously so it deliberately chose Omaha frickin' Beach as its opening scene in a re-creation that embellished some details but was nonetheless researched well enough to send WW2 veterans walking out of the theatre and back into therapy. High expectations, high standards. Then you have something like Tommy Wiseau's The Room.
If as a filmmaker you're a preachy egomanic that pratfalls in your magnum opus, no, you don't get to fall back to the "it's just a movie" excuse.

With Goodwill Hunting, I just don't think it earns what it thinks it does. Aside from deciding to "see about a girl," what breakthroughs does he make? Will was not merely an "underachiever" or somebody with tremendous talent who was wasting it, he was a fricking sociopath who participated in gang beatdowns of a dude after a baseball game without a hint of remorse. Were they going to get to any of that, at some point?
It cannot decide what it wants to do with the character, and in the end, he literally drives off from a job he just committed to taking (like the whole point of his therapy, apparently, from the beginning) to find a girl who may or may not want anything to do with him anymore.
Weird.
December 5th, 2022 at 12:52 PM ^
This is maybe the worst opinion I have read in a while. I mean, it's a movie. And the whole point was for him to leave Boston. That was the breakthrough.
December 5th, 2022 at 12:22 PM ^
WW2 vets didn't go to therapy. They went to the bar.
December 5th, 2022 at 10:26 PM ^
Truth.
December 5th, 2022 at 10:33 AM ^
This is a truly awful hot take. Your claim that "people do not have "smart-offs" in bars" is, simply put, wrong. If you've ever been a graduate student, you will know that there are student bars that cater to or become popular with these advanced students from various disciplines. And there is NO ONE more arrogant or self-assured than a graduate student in the 3rd semester of their Ph.D. program at a top school after a few beers showing off. And yes, this often manifests as "I'm smarter than you" contests between these folks and both other graduate students and random strangers in a bar. In fact, when this movie came out I was a graduate student, and the "asshole Harvard Ph.D. student in History" struck me as an almost perfect representation of dozens of people I was interacting with at the time.

There was a child prodigy in our program that disappeared in his first year. Everyone thought he cracked under the pressure, but he’s floating. They all float down here…

Anyone thinking this is a bad post just needs to put up the phone, tablet, or computer for awhile and go meditate. This is funny, while also being informative. A solid effort deserving of a quire s few upvotes.
December 5th, 2022 at 10:23 AM ^
I thought it was funny. Good job!
December 5th, 2022 at 10:31 AM ^
This was excellent! Keep those hilarious posts coming. I mean, what are we going to do for four weeks?
December 5th, 2022 at 11:22 AM ^
I'll give it an 85. This definitely has a good beat that you can dance to. 😉
