When the NFL
Seems like an
Abbott and Costello
Routine

It's o n e of the more
Interesting movies
Of 2025

The look of the movie
Interests me.

As a Star Trek fan,
I always say
The lure of those series
And movies is that
They are set in a rational universe
With competent people
Working and producing.

If only real life
Were as functional
And effective...

A charming romantic comedy
That tackles attraction and love
At an older age.

Something's Gotta Give is
Interestingly a rare film
In terms of its focus.
January 6, 2026 at 7:27 PM
Not one of Hitchcock's best films.
Intriguing cast though.

A hidden gem from the 70s
One of William Friedkin's best film.
A riveting, absorbing drama
About the deadly nature of fate
And the futile attempts to escape it.

Excellent monochrome portrait.

The defensive injuries have
Ultimately hamstrung the Lions
Despite a productive offense not just this year but last year as well.

The question is how many more seasons can they stay competitive before possibly slipping back to statistical W/L inferiority?

Interesting.
I remember walking by this theater
One day when I lived in LA.

Never knew it was the set for
The Chevy Chase Show

A film buff's mantra
Must always be
"To the watching of films,
There is no end."

If Jerry Maguire
Was Jeri Maguire

Good choice.

As I like to call the movie,
The Not so Grateful Dead.
January 2, 2026 at 7:19 PM
Lol.
Good point.

This isnt a Buffalo Bills fan site
This is Outside the NFL.

Take your gripes
about the Bills to such a site
Or better yet have your own
Segment on a sports show
Or start your own show.

People hear my analysis
About the NFL.
I dont listen to anyone else's.

This matter is over
Have a nice day

It's common knowledge that
This post is about the Eagles
Barely beating the Bills
Not about points
Or even point spreads.

If you have nothing to say
About that,
Then, this matter is concluded.

This case is closed.

Eagles had almost no offense- yards, first downs, etc- in the second half.

The Bills scored in the final moments of the game and might have won had it not been for the failed 2 point attempt.

So Eagles were lucky
Because they were abysmal
And inept In the second half.

So blame the Eagles.
Bye

If you dont like the answer,
You shouldn't have asked
The question.
