Did teams take a knee back in 1983?

The Herm Edwards kneel play took place in 1978. I briefly looked to see if there were any rule changes, but couldn't find it.

"All the Right Moves" was a good movie. Maybe a 7/10. The Director of Art for "Taxi Driver" directed this movie... His first movie.
I felt like there was a lot of meaning through mise en scene. Simple narrative, but effective.

Fair enough. Maybe I just misremember games from when I was young, but I always thought they used to play until the final whistle no matter if it was a foregone conclusion.

Just went and watched Martian and it was friggin damned good. It's the best movie I've seen at the movies in a long while. Damon was awesome just like Hanks was in castaway by himself in scenes. The movie was smart and had a lot of humor in it

Just saw it today.
Agreed, very good movie.

Outstanding movie.

As a LOTR fan, I loved that small scene when they named the rescue mission "Elrond", then Sean Bean (obviously a character in LOTR and at the Elrond meeting) explained it.

Yeah that was pretty cool. The whole movie just had really fun dialogue. Damon was funny as shit throughout the whole thing

When we got home from The Martian I found Robinson Crusoe on Mars on Youtube and we watched that. Total Mars date night.

The Elrond scene really cracked me up. Even more than Sean Bean explaining it was that everyone outside the PR lady, even Daniels being the Suit of the movie, where so into the background of the name. Basically meaning that pretty much all of NASA even the big whigs can't help but to geek out every once and awhile.

I thought Daniels was excellent throughout the movie.

"Inside-Out", maybe the best movie of 2015.
I don't remember an animation movie being nominated for best picture, but I think this movie deserves it.
There have been a lot of great movies this year, but "Inside-Out" is in a tier above them.

Up there with "Toy Story", "Wall-E", and "Up" for my favorite animated movies (obviously I'm a big Pixar fan).

This is a travesty. Why would they tarnish the original with this garbage?

Because they can. No new ideas are allowed.

It's complete bs. It goes against everything the first one was. They've turned a great movie into smash up of the X games and Oceans 11.

I'll never watch this shit. I hope they lose all kinds of money. If Hollywood wants to redo movies do the ones that could have been epic but they f'ed up. GI Joe is the first that comes to mind. That could have been an easy grandslam instead it was more like watching Mike Tyson bang a greased up beach ball while singing Livin La Vida Loca.

Only remake Hollywood owes the world is a good Super Mario Bros movie.
They shit on that franchise with that 1993 disaster.

I mean, I'll definitely watch it because it's at least entertaining, but it's so bad at the same time.
