I'm from Pittsburgh and now in NW PA and folks in these parts either don't think about the NBA, consider liking the Cavs but it's Ohio so not so much, or they like the Celtics/Lakers/Bulls depending on your age.

Yep. My friend has a brother 12 years younger than us. Huge Bulls fan. Your anger and ego will always reveal your true self.

I appreciate the list and will look into it, but the fact is in the 80's and 90's I didn't have to open my mind. The mainstream action, war, crime, thrillers, and dramas were typically the best out there.

I agree, and as I mentioned before, the horror movies these days are actually some of the best movies being made. I guess that speaks volumes when the most typically bad genre of movie is the best of what is currently out there.

I think, ultimately, good horror comes along from time to time, but it would be difficult to pin down a 'best of' time. Psycho (the Hitchcock version). Was in the 60s. The original Halloween (random 'burbs kid goes crazy.... just cause). 1970s Nightmare on Elm Street (Englund was perfect in that role). 1980s Scream (just the first one), with a few nice twists. 1997ish Saw (just the first one), with a great twist. 2000ish Cabin In the Woods (humor, horror, action) 2010ish 28 Days Later (redefining zombie movies as 'fear the people') was 2000ish

Here's something to tie it all together- If the NBA, NFL, and MLB keep on pushing BLM, kneeling, and politics on fans, then they would be able to play their games in that movie and be safe.

The Thing with Kurt Russell is a master class in horror. Constant uncertainty about who is who, for every character, the brilliant practical effects, the environment. Perfection. Alien really started a genre, my favorite Ridley Scott film after Blade Runner.

Clifford Robinson died yesterday or earlier today... He was from an era of better basketball. I'm protesting the non stop 3 point shooting of today's game... Booooooorrrrring.
I'm gonna break every record they've got. I'm tellin' you right now. I don't know how I'm gonna do it, but it's goin' to get done.

I think, ultimately, good horror comes along from time to time, but it would be difficult to pin down a 'best of' time. I think the early Universal era is the golden age. The characters became so prevalent that they evolved into clownish caricatures, but in their time, I have to imagine that they were pretty terrifying. They practically built that studio, and the quality of the sets designed at the time was impressive. I watched the original Invisible Man awhile back, and it was a lot more unsettling that I thought it would be. Not gonna lie, though, I'm a bit of a nostalgia sucker for those movies.

Going back to the NBA, they’ve gotten a bit too political for my taste after the Boycott and agreements. But it’s easy for me to stop watching since the Spurs sucked this year.
