WINTER IS COMING OH NO WINTER IS HERE

So, guys, let's check that college football schedule for the weekend---

1219-winter-is-coming_medium

You. Bastards. It's here. You may have to resort to unusual tactics to survive the cold: performing household chores, "exercise," "reading things that don't have an IM alert blinking in the corner." It may get worse before it gets better, and then it'll really get bad, but remember the positives. You can reacquaint yourself with the outside world, for one. Believe it or not, that is not as bad as one might imagine, especially if those people owe you money you gave them months ago or they just give you cake for like, no reason. Those people are the best.

We'll have something in this space for the offseason--remember, Digital Viking was retired with Holly's departure--but in the meantime we wish you strength while we spend the weekend reading The Great Big Book Of Horrible Things. The part about the John Mackovic Era at Arizona is positively gripping.

That "dream" scene ruined the best story arc in the histor of "Dallas."

It was amazing where the writers went with the aftermath of Bobby’s death: Sue Elllen got off the wagon and became a good person; J.R. quit being (mostly) his evil self and became a responsible businessman. Phenomenally wonderful things happened for an entire season, and then… it was all a dream, and the writers had to go back to the shitty story lines of a year ago.

At least when “Newhart” did it, it was the end of the run..

He may have been rescued by the worst Deus ex machina since"Toy Story 3", or by Doctor Who. We didn’t see, so we can’t know.

IT'S NOT JUST THE GD BOOK, PEOPLE

It’s relevant NOW because of the show. Season 1 is fair game. Do not ruin season 2 for those of us who haven’t read the books. Some of us have other things to read, like 300 page books on Japanese political parties.

Yes, that's exactly what I'm saying.

Season 1 is fair game, as it happened 7 months ago, and if you haven’t seen it yet, that’s your fault. I don’t have time to read the books, and am enjoying the show. I would read the books, if I had time, which I don’t. Saying “oh the books have been out 16 years” ignores the fact that we’re talking about it now BECAUSE OF THE SHOW. If someone wants to start a fanshot and puts “GoT Book Discussion: Spoilers” I won’t click on it, much like I won’t click on your link (thank you for labeling it). But don’t put crap in a random normal post discussion and try to excuse it by saying “oh, the book has been out 16 years”. That’s simply being an inconsiderate ass.

We're just gonna disagree about this one

They messed up the myth but good….but I still liked the end product.

by Phocion on Jan 13, 2012 6:32 PM EST up reply actions  

they things they did well (pretty much limited to the visuals and any scene without speaking) were stunning, and the things they did poorly were just as stunning.

i found the fights exciting, and pitt did as good a job with achilles as anyone ever could have (i took a year long lecture in epic poetry in undergrad, and during the illiad we cast the characters to modern acters, and pitt as achilles even then. there is no one else that perfect and petulant.)

i had issues withe the “heroes can’t be too dickish to women” rewrite where achilles ever saw Briseis as anything more than property. nothing in achilles’ character even remotely hints that he would give a damn about the feelings or human dignity of spoils-of-war slaves. then the script invents dialogue for her, making her a speaking character instead of an object. i get why this happened, as it would be asking a lot for an audience to root for a character who is a serial rapist, but Briseis really is nothing more than a tripod that you can have enjoyable sex with from the point of view of the Greeks.

i did almost leave the theater when Agamemnon died in the city. i mean, arguably the greatest dramatic cycle in all of Greek drama depends entirely on the things Agamemnon does while returning home in victory. That was one trireme too far.

This is all just babytown frolics.

by Philander Chase's Sweatervest on Jan 13, 2012 6:55 PM EST up reply actions  

Agreed

I understood why they made Brieis what she was on screen. But Killing Agememnon? That seemed to me Hollywood saying “Even though we could probably make a killing with what follows these tales in the literary record, we just don’t give a fuck and will go back to remaking bad 70’s tv shows.”

by Phocion on Jan 13, 2012 7:01 PM EST up reply actions  

Not an easy book to make into a movie....

I like the whole “the only arrow left in Achilles’ body was in his heel so that’s how they think he died” thing. Granted he should have treated Briseis worse, but he was still a prick.

Overall, I wasn’t too unhappy with the changes. Obviously Agamemnon should live, but the original poets who would (presumably) change the story to fit the audience. One can disagree with their choices of what to leave out, but it’s not like these stories were, uhhhh, written in stone. Or anything else.

I will put my beer tasting in the commentariat's hands tonight

The deal with the Beer o’Clock promotion at the neighborhood liquor store is that you pay 7 bucks and get a tasting paddle with four choices from the menu. Tonight’s menu, from the e-mail they just sent:

LA CHOULETTE: Framboise. This framboise is dry, only a little bit sweet
HITACHINO NEST: White Ale. Complex rich style, slightly sweet citrusy hops
RUSSIAN RIVER: Redemption. Clean & light w/ subtle spice – lemon, white pepper
BRAUEREI HELLER MARZEN: Just may be liquid bacon!
STONE BREWING: More Brown than Black IPA. Orange and grapefruit rind take center stage
HAIR OF THE DOG BREWING: Fred. Deep golden, 10 different hops

Any suggestions? I’ve had More Brown than Black and really liked it.

Pretty good. A lot of fourth wall breaking, but no more out of line than most of Vonnegut's stuff.

Granted, I liked Moscow to the End of the Line/Moscow-Petushki (Venedikt Erofeev) and all, so I tend to go toward that type of stuff.

I didn't realize you were out in the sticks.

I guess no go for the bar, but you could always get some for yourself. It’s pretty interesting stuff. It’s made of rhubarb, but also beets, carrots, and cane sugar, along with spices. So it’s not all fruit. Plenty complex enough to drink by itself, or with a hit of citrus and bitters.

Is that the period you're interested in?

I can give you plenty more when the time comes. “Harvest of Sorrow” by Robert Conquest is a good primer in the Western historiography on the famine. Uh. “Years of Hunger” is the best study of Stalinist Soviet agriculture out there imo, but it’s pretty dense unless you’re really into that stuff like me. “Odessa 1941-44” by Dallin was interesting enough, and one of the most substantial secondary sources close to what I study. I can give you more stuff once you get through that first book or two though.

I liked it.

But it seemed a little less conveniently organized for audience members to list their own recommendations than the DV was. Maybe that’s just because I looked at it hours ago and didn’t have a ton of time at the moment, but I’ll go back later.

WHY IS BILL HANCOCK SO STUPID?

We are not talking about wear and tear on the body. I’m not buying that. If I had all the NCAA commissioners in the room with truth serum I doubt this has anything to do with kids going to class?

“I don’t think you heard what I said before. We think about the effect of this on the student athlete. It affects the student athletes in many ways. One is whole other series of football games. Another is conflicts with final exams. There’s no conflict with basketball and final exams, but there would be with a big December tournament.”

So you’re telling me there’s no playoff because we are afraid to take big time college football players out of class for finals?

“A lot of people don’t believe this, but it is true. These are college students and this a fundamental part of this endeavor. These are not grown-ups playing for pay. These are college students. That’s a principal we will not yield on.”

What is one legitimate downside of a playoff system?

“Well the contention over No. 4 or No. 5 to me will always be a downside just the contention in the NCAA tournament between 60 and however many they have now and 68 and 69 [teams]. You also have to think about can fans travel to a quarterfinal in Miami one week, a semifinal in Pasadena the next week and back to Phoenix for a final next week.”

The thing about Clyde is that

he honestly didn’t get it, and wasn’t particularly inclined to listen to the people who were trying to help him.

Of course, he also did stupid shit like running guys through full practices on gameday, trying to kick his leading scorer off the team during halftime of a game, telling that same scorer to quit shooting on a night where he put up 54 against a conference rival, force-feeding Pop Tarts to a player in some sort of attempt to bulk him up…

Of course it didn't.

It worked about as well as trying to kick Jodie Meeks off the team at halftime of an NIT game against Notre Dame, or telling Meeks to quit shooting when he put up 54 against Tennessee, or trying to kick Darius Miller off the team bus and force him to walk from Rupp back to the Lodge.

by Bus Crasher on Jan 13, 2012 11:21 PM EST up reply actions  

Well, there is.

You get seeded in your conference tourney based on what you did in the regular season, and if your regular season was good enough, you get an at large bid to the big tourney.

I really don’t mind the occasional 11-16 team at all, because Cinderella stories are fun, and because that appearance can make a huge difference for a tiny little school. And those conferences are at such a different talent level that it really doesn’t affect the outcome of the big tourney. The #1 team in the SWAC or the NEC isn’t really going to be that much more of a challenge than the #6 team when you’re playing against a highly ranked opponent.

And the same thing almost never happens in the power conferences (that SEC tourney run by UGA is the only one I can think of).

by Salt on Jan 13, 2012 11:30 PM EST up reply actions  

a lot of low-majors give the top two seeds a bye to the semis

or otherwise give the top one or two seeds huge advantages in the conference tournament.

One reason why I hate the current Big East tournament format is because it also does this (double byes for the top 4, a bye for the top 8), and this is the Big East, which doesn’t need it; if fewer than 8 teams make the Dance from the conference as presently constructed (and with a 68-team tournament) then something is horribly wrong.

Its just whatever the two lowest at large would happen to be

by The Assman 1 on Jan 13, 2012 10:55 PM EST up reply actions  

Even when it was only 64 teams

you would occasionally get an at-large with a 13 seed. If you have good enough low major teams that come out of one-bid conferences, they could seed them high enough to push the last at larges lower. Also, the committee often will push a team up or down one seed line to comply with scheduling requirements, or to avoid rematches or too many teams from one conference in one part of the bracket.
