re: Top 25 expensive movie flops

They should rename & market John Carter and re-release it. It’s better than the vast majority of crap in theaters today. It’s like there’s pressure to just call it “not bad” due to its losses, but in reality it’s a damn good movie.

These new mid-engine C8s - to me all they are now is a Temu Ferrari or Lambo. I love Ferrari's, but I've no interest in a Corvette trying to be one. There are things that make more sense in a modern engine than desmodromic valves, but that's what makes a Ducati and Ducati.


Funny how it’s usually people who have never driven one - especially on a track. At $70k base, it’s not trying to be a Lambo or a Ferrari. Though its performance is on par with them at a fraction of the price. Bump up to a ZR1 (or even just a Z06) - still at half the cost or less - and it will out perform them.

I’m still a bigger fan of the front engines - I had a C7 and a C7 Grand Sport (my favorite car I’ve owned). But my C8 was a fricking beast - an engineering marvel for the price (especially on the track).

Has Garth Brooks done a show in that area recently?

Cold blooded reptiles’ enter brumation rather than hibernation. It’s a period of reduced activity but they’ll go in and out of dormancy based on the temperature. So if it’s warm enough outside, especially above 70 degrees, never assume that snakes aren’t out just because it’s technically winter.

Trust that if you do encounter a rattlesnake in cooler temperatures, they’ll usually be easier to free-handle. :lol:

I’d say Baker St does too


I was an ‘80s metal kid, but some time in the last 10-15 years as I started relying on satellite radio, I really got into the ‘70s channel.

I’ve always considered Baker Street to be the quintessential song of the ‘70s soft rock era. Love the sax-heavy tunes from that era.
Nice Star Wars display, but I like my Christmas light shows to have something to do with Christmas.
Haven’t fished there in years, but I used to catch a lot of reds in the Bay throwing a gold spoon along the shoreline.
Not just my favorite Christmas song, but one of my favorite songs ever - Christmas Time (Don’t Let the Bells End) by The Darkness. It’s been my year-round ringtone for years.

For more traditional fare, Wonderful Christmastime by Paul McCartney.
Up until this very moment I thought they were saying “Dudley Fo’zhuh”.
Used to be a chopped brisket sammich but I switched to the brisket burrito because it’s easier to eat while driving.

For a season that started with a very unappealing cast, once it got down to the final 8 or 9 I’ve enjoyed it. The tribals have been great every week since then.
Desi Vegas - best drinks, best appetizers, best sides, best dessert. And, of course, great steak.

Subsequent seasons had peaks and valleys but I watched them all and enjoyed it as a whole. Never got to the point where I had to drag myself through it like some seasons of Walking Dead, for example.

This is so exaggerated. My son graduated from LSU as a civil engineer and bought a house just a couple years out of college in his mid-20s. Not close to a six figure salary yet by any means.
