Re: Swamp Quarantine Movie Night - Roadhouse (1989), 9 p.m. ET 3/26

But seriously I think Gyllenhall is the right type for this. And the director has made some entertaining films. McGregor seems to be an awful dude but I'd otherwise watch this? Having watched the trailer, I respectfully disagree on Gyllenhaal. Liman has done some very good stuff, but that trailer l...

Re: Swamp Quarantine Movie Night - Roadhouse (1989), 9 p.m. ET 3/26

I hope this attempt at a re-make falls apart like the Ronda Rousey one did about five years ago. Jake Gyllenhall? GTFO. In case you needed another reason not to watch what will likely be a horrible remake, Conor McGregor is involved. This remake sounds bad. And, I have a difficult time seeing Jake ...

If KC makes the Super Bowl, the Usher halftime show will be the most-watched show in (whatever time period). The difference between the halftime show and the game's average is usually about three million people.

And she will completely upstage the halftime show, just by her presence.

Detroit is America’s team. Lions/Bucs was the most watched divisional round game since 1994 a week after Lions/Rams was most-watched prime time TV event since last year’s Super Bowl. And then, the game after it averaged ten million more viewers to become the most watched divisional round game ever .
