Ketch's 10 Thoughts From The Weekend (The Ultimate Colin Simmons Breakdown)

[Ketchum]

SEVEN had to be on the list.

HAD to be.

 

[Ketchum]

Nice list. Maybe fight club too?

Good call.

 

[Ketchum]

Shane, would be top 10, at least. Then again, I saw it as a kid and you may have seen on some late night.

I've never seen Shane.

 

[aglassdarkly]

Disagree with your movie endings.
1) of the ones you listed, Godfather 1 all day every day
2) Karate Kid #in the lighter movie category
3) the ending that has stuck with me more than any other was that of the 1993 Russian film, "Stalingrad, not to be confused with the US ~ 2013 vision. The ending is haunting and beautiful. Gives me chills.

 

[Ketchum]

how is Rocky IV not on that list or at least honorable mention

That's a great call. Error on my part.

 

[Ketchum]

Great write up!

I’ll add The Natural’s ending for consideration

Another great call.

 

[Ketchum]

You are probably right, but...J Brooks has shown me enough that I would give him every chance to be back #1...and I was a doubter at one time. Brooks is sneaky good imho. Using multiple backs makes sense to me for many reasons, especially this year. Even when we had the best back in college football, spelling Bijan with Roshon was good for the team and good for Bijan.

I don't disagree with most of that at all.

 

[Ketchum]

still need to see The Sound of Freedom so I can see where it ranks in your top 10.

Iy'll get done. I was hoping it would be streaming by now.

Watched How to Blow Up a Pipeline this weekend. Solid, but not enough to crack the top 10.

 

[Ketchum]

You couldn’t pay me to watch Oppenheimer again. I walked out after a couple of hours out of shear boredom. I understand that almost no one agrees with me. I thought the focus on the hearings and his love life were totally uninteresting.

different strokes for different folks.

 

[Ketchum]

I understand the scarcity of great edge pass rushers. But high level QB play is prime in today’s game and something we have lacked on a consistent level for a long time.

completely fair. Maybe talking in the heat of the moment.

Never seen it. Will need to add it to the list.

 

[EC Ricebird]

Not enough car chases and aliens and wizards for you?

I just didn’t care about the main characters. What do I care if he has a girlfriend?

Not a fan of character studies?

 

[oktexan]

Okay. I've kept my piehole shut as long as I could on the best ending discussion. I'm an old and I'm putting the farm on The Cincinnati Kid with Steve McQueen and others. Ever played poker? The mid-sixies had some good flicks.

That scene is so unrealistic! It actually bothers me.

 

[Mi Rey]

Of course, we will be there.

Well, there it is. 😁

 

[LJ01]

For a surprise ending I would go with No Way Out in top 10.

 

[EC Ricebird]

Not a fan of character studies?

Not really. Not when I don’t care about the character. I just didn’t find him engaging as a character.

I wonder how much influence Mamas talking to each other helps with recruiting? I'm a fan

Everything matters.

* LSU has won at the highest levels as recent as Simmons' eighth-grade year in middle school. The last time Texas won double-digit games on the field, Simmons was three years old.


Will someone please let Colin Simmons (and the owner of this website...wink wink) know that Texas did win 10 games during the 2018 season, including the Sugar Bowl.

I saw Oppenheimer this week. Truly great movie and I’ll see it again because like you.

 

[Guy Smiley]

I've never seen Shane.

 

[Guy Smiley]

Shawshank has the greatest ending ever. That is an irrefutable fact.

A couple of more great endings: American Graffiti, Major League, and Debbie Does Dallas.

 

[pdrscott99]

IFL

 

[BrianNiemannIns]

Let me know when we get back to talking Football.

 

[HuffTex]

Haha....I can't give you too much crap... you temporarily Jedi-mind-tricked me into believing that. I had to search for it....

If I remember correctly, Debbie Does Dallas has several great endings...

 

[Respect my freshness]

@Ketchum is the 70/30 about
Simmons commit % or is that the snap distribution %’s you think at RG.

 

[SouthPaugh]

History shows Gilbert simply was average at best as a QB. For Texas he was even worse

Dude made the NFL for 5 active years, I believe. That means he was top 75 at his trade. He was not average. He was injured and misused. I am not a defender at all but your statement is just bad.

 

[SouthPaugh]

Another great call.

Field of Dreams
Major League
Urban Cowboy

Lol. Look at his college numbers. He was average at his best in CFB. Why that’s so hard for his defenders to believe is odd.

 

[classic54]

I've seen Field of Dreams at least 20 times, and still get choked up at the end.
