re: The Hollywood Reporter ranks Steven Spielberg's films from worst to best...

My humble top 10 list. My top 4 are solidified, but I had a lot of trouble after my top 4 because they are all so great. I thought I should disqualify sequels even though I love them so much. Thank you Mr. Spielberg, I have so many great memories and experiences going to your movies. You will never be topped in my book.
1. Jaws (1975)
2. Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981)
3. E.T.: The Extra-Terrestrial (1982)
4. Saving Private Ryan (1998)
5. Schindler's List (1993)
6. The Color Purple (1985)
7. Jurassic Park (1993)

Do they have to go to Mass on Sunday or something? Why not sleep in Sunday morning in Utah and fly back Sunday afternoon? This is stupid.

It would be interesting if in the future you could have a dynamic ABS which adjusted to a batter's height and even stance. Doesn't seem too far fetched really.
Edit : Never mind, after reading that again it looks like it does adjust for players height.

Now I say that and Mizzou batter challenges strike 3 and it was indeed a strike.

I'm not watching, are they calling balls a strike or strikes a ball or both?
Mizzou's catcher has challenged 7 ball calls and got 6 of them overturned to strikes. Not seeing batters or pitchers really challenge.

Why do you consider trumpets Electronic Dance Music? Sandstorm is EDM, not trumpets. Everyone is living in the past except USC.

Gentlemen of culture. I would like to submit a little known French singer from the early 2000s named Alizee. She was very popular in Europe and around the world but little known here in the US.

This scene stuck out to me because she went right through the middle of the big group saying "on the left!" as she passed through people on the right as well. :lol:

Anyone catch episode 3 last night?
Episode 3 saved the show for me. I was ready to pack it in after episode 2 but for some reason this one made the show pretty interesting. I think it was because they made Harbour's character such a sympathetic character in this one as the first two episodes I really didn't care for any of them.

They have been pretty consistent lately. Mostly due to moving TO Barrett to starting point guard in place of Anthony Robinson. The bad losses mostly happened early in the season before getting Pierce and Stone back from injury. They are both good players.
