@TheMCUChronicle Looks more like an overhand right

Chargers should trade Herbert to Philly for a haul. Then sign Tua to run McDaniel’s O. Herbert can’t handle it @chargers

[Mikey @DolphinsRuined]

A player like this doesn’t just disappear.

Arch Manning can’t even do this vs Sam Houston St

I think football could do away with some of the frame-by-frame, super slow-motion officiating.

If a receiver is falling toward the end zone and his upper body naturally carries him across the goal line, that should be a TD.

We’ve gotten to the point where we’re freezing video to see if an elbow touched 2 inches before the ball crossed.

Sometimes replay makes the game more complicated than it needs to be.

@killmesIime They aren’t bad bad, but they certainly aren’t good

I can save you 8.5 billion. It don’t matter what your places look like, I ain’t sitting inside to eat ever. Just drop the prices by about 25%

McDonald's announced they're investing $8,500,000,000 in their restaurants to try and make a comeback.

This includes implementing a lot more AI to automate tasks and new, healthy menu items like grilled chicken, egg bites and protein bowls.

@BarryOnHere Not worse than the kelces

@CAlmanza1007 Is this a troll tweet? He just hasn’t taken a shit yet

[Tim Roberts @filmlyguy]

This 100x

[TKO Collector @TKOCollector]

Honestly getting the ball at the 35 is ruining the game

[Tim Roberts @filmlyguy]

Put the touchback back to the 20

[NFL Memes @NFLMemes]

The Cowboys lost this football game in regulation

😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

[Tim Roberts @filmlyguy]

Incredibly stupid. You turn down 50 a year for a chance at 60 a year? Would that 10 make a difference at all? Idiot

[Evan Sidery @esidery]

After an 0-3 start, CJ Stroud turning down $50 million per year from the Texans to bet on himself appears to be a massive mistake.

[Tim Roberts @filmlyguy]

Tua with McDaniels led the league in yards and tossed 29tds. Herbert doesn’t even have brain damage, he might just be stupid

[ItzLamarSZN @ItzLamarSZN]

MIKE MCDANIEL HAS AN ACTUAL QB!!!!!

@FiddlesPicks Offer and accepted. It’s done. Push it

Are we allowed to say @themummy is miles better than Indiana Jones? Or are we still pretending

[cinesthetic. @TheCinesthetic]

Rewatched THE MUMMY (1999) last night and goddamn, this movie is still perfect adventure cinema.

But the thing that really stood out this time was Imhotep.

Arnold Vosloo is fucking terrifying in this movie.

I love that Imhotep doesn’t need to constantly be jumping out at people or doing elaborate monster shit to be scary. Some of the creepiest moments are when you barely see what he’s doing. You hear what is happening to his victims and your imagination does the rest.

And the idea of wandering around those enormous, dark Egyptian ruins knowing that this thing could be somewhere in the shadows is genuinely unsettling.

What I especially love is that Imhotep doesn’t just wake up and immediately look completely human again. His resurrection is a process. He’s this half-decayed, barely recognizable creature who has to consume people and gradually regenerate himself until he can become whole again. The visual effects were actually designed around that progression, with ILM creating different stages of Imhotep’s transformation.

That’s such a great monster concept.

So many undead characters come back from the dead and are basically just the same person with a spooky filter slapped on them.

Imhotep has to earn his way back to being human.

And the other thing that makes him work is that he’s not just some mindless evil mummy. Stephen Sommers has talked about deliberately giving him an emotional motivation. Imhotep is doing all of this because he wants to bring Anck-su-namun back, and Sommers actually wanted audiences to understand his motivation even while knowing they had to stop him.

That gives Vosloo something to play beyond “ancient monster.”

He’s terrifying, but he’s also completely consumed by grief and obsession.

And then you’ve got Brendan Fraser, Rachel Weisz, John Hannah, Oded Fehr, Kevin J. O’Connor, the practical effects, the CGI, the desert locations, the huge action sequences and Bruce Broughton’s score.

It’s basically the perfect combination of horror, comedy and old-school adventure.

THE MUMMY somehow manages to feel like a horror movie, an Indiana Jones adventure and a ridiculous 90s blockbuster at the same time.

And Imhotep is a huge reason it works.

Arnold Vosloo walked into that role and somehow made a 3,000-year-old resurrected corpse feel genuinely dangerous.

@CoachJimFuller @terrellowens , philly couldn’t get over the hump without him. (I’m aware he missed the playoffs with his leg, but he changed that team). Fitzgerald the year Arizona went. Was a monster

[Tim Roberts @filmlyguy]

@MeekPhill_ Let pitchers pitch again. Stop this lame ass 6 inning shit.

[Tim Roberts @filmlyguy]

@RussellJClay Fields no… also Vick above Jameis and probably cam coming out. They won titles yes, but flat talent ? Vick at the time

[Tim Roberts @filmlyguy]

@Jordan05155 @geoffschwartz Mcnown ?

[Tim Roberts @filmlyguy]

Players should refuse so they stop this international bullshit

[Jordan Schultz @Schultz_Report]

The Brazilian field for the #Cowboys vs #Ravens game looks legitimately awful. 🤷🏻‍♂️
