So I’m right.
1917 was good, close but not better.
Irishman was effing horrible
Kings Speech was awesome… not sure 20 years, but I’m not looking it up.

If Wodie had even an inkling to start posting here again, this movie talk probably killed it in it's tracks. LOL
I forgot to add
Margin Call
The Big Short
Munich
Good Night and Good Luck
You have some nice additions, namely KoH
It is a very, very good movie.
Rewatchable… unlike most off your list.
Shawshank > Top Gun
Inside Man is awesome and very seldom mentioned (at least not that I've noticed).
It's definitely in my stop-and-watch category.

Barring a total collapse like losing to a FCS (but very good) Tennessee Tech team and getting boat raced by Vandy and UofL, Stoops is a lock to be back next season.
I think the big selling point in positive momentum is that Kentucky has a QB to build around for the next 2-3 years and Stoops wagon is now officially hitched to Boley's star. Whatever the market is for Cutter, Stoops and the administration know it has to be met for Stoops to have any chance of success.

CATS fb fans got a case of battered wife syndrome. I know he’s got a temper sometimes, but I love him…
If Cats make bowl, Stoops gets extended Per contract? Does/does not affect buyout?
Game ambience I may only care about;
C-A-T-S cheer being missed by video operator half the time, the last few weeks, leads to lackluster cheers.
The band mic’s up allows the whole stadium to hear them, nice.
The blue-white cheer is stupid.
Grove Street went from a once a game hype song to being overplayed.

I was waiting/hoping for someone to post a best prison movie list. So I’ll just have to indulge myself.
In order
Cool Hand Luke
Escape from Alcatraz
Shawshank Redemption
Papillon
Midnight Express
The Green Mile
Longest Yard (orginial)
The Last Castle

No Cool Hand Luke?
I don’t think the bowl game extension applies anymore, but I’m not 100%.
I have no inside info, but reading between the lines Stoops has to want out of this constant walking on egg shells feeling. If he can clip one of Vandy/UL and make a bowl then he’ll be considered for another job and should take something to give himself some peace of mind he will not get here.
That’s best case for everyone involved IMO and what we all should be cheering for because this team deserves the support for bouncing back after that first half of a season and beating Auburn/Florida.
Any coach should look at our roster and be somewhat interested in this job because the cupboard is far from bare.

I would add Brubaker to that list. Chained Heat and its sequel also deserve an honorable mention.
^Yep. Also Bad Boys w/ Sean Penn
The clause in Stoops’ contract that adds a year to it every time he makes a bowl was removed when he got the extension.
I’ll say this as far as Lane Kiffin is concerned that the NFL is apparently calling too. ALOT of rumors that if Daboll is fired in New York that Kiffin would be their #1 option to replace Daboll.
That would make LSU, UF and PSU openings even more chaotic with Kiffin removed as an option.

No respect for The Rock in the prison movie category? Figures. Michael Bay is an under appreciated genius of our time.
I saw that movie at the theater. It is the movie that made me pretty much loathe anything Nic Cage* is in as it has the worst line in cinematic history when he looks up and says “How in the name of Zeus’ butthole do you expect me to get out of here?”
*Raising Arizona, Leaving Las Vegas and Fast Times at Ridgemont High are obviously excluded from that line of thinking.
A movie can be simultaneously very good AND overrated.
I guess the FCPS post finally got too much for good ol 80. Him and his clan packed up their toys and went home looks like?
If someone mentioned it I missed it, but Bronson is a pretty great prison movie.

Have you ever seen Wild at Heart with Cage and Laura Dern? It was……………………something.
uh, The Great Escape
Runaway Train with Jon Voight

Good list.
Con Air is always a must watch.
Brubaker is a Redford classic.
Stir Crazy is Pryor and Wilder at their best.
An Innocent Man is an underrated gem.
Bad Boys is on the best of the 80's and has one of the best azz whooping scenes.
Hamdan's big epiphany was remembering that short passes exist. For a season and a half, it was run it up the middle, jet sweep, or bomb. I think moving to a freshman QB made him think about being more QB friendly, and the OL coming into their own didn't hurt. I mean we aren't burning up the scoreboard regularly or anything, but we look competent for the first time since the Jaguars HC roamed our sidelines.
Woke up to a surprise snow in BG. Absolutely gorgeous morning in our corner of the county, with bluebird skies, fall colors hanging on, and a white blanket of sparkling snow.
One of the coolest parts of my job is that I occasionally get to venture into the woods with biologists and ecologists and their wealth of knowledge about the natural world. It's like a David Attenborough doc about Kentucky, but in person. I eat it up.
Been getting back into fly fishing a bit. Found out there's a small, stocked trout stream with public access about 30 minutes from the house. No luck with the rainbows yet, mostly just creek chubs. Fun though. Kid is finally getting to the point where I can actually fish alongside him and not just untangle, re-bait, and re-hook all day long.
My interest in playing music has been all over the place, genre-wise, for the last 25 years or so, but it started with bluegrass guitar and I've come full circle lately. I definitely don't have Tony Rice's dexterity, but love picking on the same kind of chords he used. G-C-D only goes so far.
Hoping for a chippy environment tomorrow. I love hating the Louisville Cardinals.
