Raymond Holt is on the short list for my favorite TV character. The stuff they write for Andre Braugher and his deadpan delivery kill me every episode.


It is excellent. It's a show I love to binge-watch. I'll usually wait until a season is over and then fly through it all in a few days. Andre Braugher is outstanding, and I do like Terry Crews.

Elizabeth Olsen is a lot like Mary-Kate and Ashley. Sometimes they look incredibly hot, sometimes the goggles do nothing.

She's definitely an upgrade over her sisters.

Now, yeah, obviously but when the twins were like 15-18? They looked pretty damn good over that time frame. I can say that because they're older than me and I don't have a time machine.

You have a different perspective. I remember them as ugly toddlers. I thought they were the ugliest kids on tv, they reminded me of Ugly Troll Dolls of the 90s. They were always off my radar. I heard there was a website countdown of when they would turn 18 and it would be OK to lust after them. I never figured that out.

Initially when Elizabeth Olsen came onto the scene I had no idea she was an Olsen, just thought he was attractive. Different perspectives I guess.

You got it, dude. I did watch Full House (I'm told) but I don't really remember it. It ended before I turned 8 so it must have been the early seasons I watched because I would've remembered watching say '93-the end of the series and I don't.

I can see how they would be annoying as toddlers watching reruns of Full House but that's because all toddlers are disasters. Either be a baby or be a 6 year old at minimum you little ****.

Interested to hear what your guys and gals favorite movies of this year are and how you rank them. These are my rankings to my knowledge the movies I've seen that were released in 2017. My criteria was both quality of the film and my personal enjoyment level. Obviously the year is not over so some films (Disaster Artist, Star Wars) have a good chance to sky rocket to the top but so far..

1) American Made
2) Logan
3) Get Out
4) Baby Driver
5) Chef
6) Girls Trip
7) War For the Planet of the Apes
8) Life
9) Blade Runner 2049
10) Atomic Blonde
12) Wonder Woman
13) The Foreigner
14) The Wall
15) Kingsmen: Golden Circle
16) Fist Fight
17) Dunkirk
18) Guardians of the Galaxy 2
19) Alien Covenant
20) Kong Skull Island
21) Spider-Man Homecoming
22) Lego Batman
23) POTC: Dead Men Tell No Tales
24) Baywatch

Baywatch is one of the worst I've ever seen.

You really enjoyed a planet of the apes movie more than Dunkirk? Im not judging, just curious.

Dunkirk was unique but I didn't care for the constant back and forth storytelling. Felt more conducive to a tv show. Looked beautiful but it lacked character development and being a history buff, knowing the outcome probably somewhat took away from any attempt at building suspense.

The only images of the twins I have in my head are as annoying toddlers from full house and as the strung out looking skeletons that they are now. Elizabeth is definitely the saner more attractive sister.

I read a list of 100 scariest movies of all time and it had the Texas Chainsaw Massacre at #1. I'd never seen it before and I got it into my head that I should give these movies a look. Biggest waste of two hours ever. What a piece of trash.
