The Firestorm thread. Undeniably the greatest

[firestorm]

YG and YG2 are 2 of my all-time favorite movies.

I could understand why because those are 2 great movies, and Young Guns 2 is a great sequel that stands on its own including a great original soundtrack, different stunning action scenes including the Chavez vs Arkansas Dave knife fight, an amazing chase scene, etc.
It's a sequel that stands on its own instead of being an uncreative sequel such as Home Alone 2, Die Hard 2, and Escape From LA that reuses mostly the same story as the first movie except in a different location with not many differences.

While I do enjoy Escape From LA including scenes that stand on their own including Snake Plissken surfing on a Surf Board in the Post Apocalyptic Los Angeles, undeniably the movie is reusing a lot from Escape From New York.


This is a stated flaw of Escape From LA that can't be disputed.

In its plot points, the movie hews closely to the outlines of Escape From New York, so much so that it feels more like a remake than a sequel.

I got that stated truthful criticism from the Article below.

You better watch yo mouff talking crap bout Die Hard 2. Or any Die Hard movies for that matter!!

I enjoy Die Hard 2 however it's a redone version of Die Hard even though the main villain does have a different goal that isn't a financial goal along with an infamous dictator of a fictional country that really looks like he's inspired by Fidel Castro.

Also, I'm not really talking trash about Die Hard 2 when it really is an uncreative sequel which John mostly acknowledges because of that whole he's in the same undesirable situation.

I wore this terrific Def Leopard t-shirt on Friday. On the back it says Pour Some Sugar On Me.

I would be happy if the Titans drafted Hooker, Stroud, or Young because all 3 are similar style QBs that are fast running QBs.
Also all 3 showed they are great throwing QBs in the College Football, and they all proved to be consistent reliable starters because the Volunteers, Buckeyes, Crimson Tide all had great seasons while obviously the Volunteers had the best great season as a standout 11-2 team including Milton played excellent in the 2 games he had to start after Hooker got a serious season ending injury.

Levis according to him wants to be the greatest of all time so in other words he wants to be greater than Tom Brady which is a Mount Everest High Bar because of needing to exceed the amount of wins as a Starting QB, win more NFL Playoff games than Brady, passing for more yards than him is achievable if he’s on the right team that gives him talented offensive targets to throw to and if he can succeed being a successful NFL throwing QB, win more Super Bowls, play in Super Bowls, etc.

College Baseball
I’m pretty damn happy that my Volunteers defeated the Bulldogs 8-2 in Rocky Top.

I’m very satisfied with my Washington Huskies in their first home game this season because they bulldozed the Northern Colorado Bears 32-7.
They improve to 6-2, and continue to be a great team that light up the scoreboard by scoring a variety of way’s because of great hitting by talented players.

NBA
I’m less unhappy my Bulls lost to the Suns mainly because this is a Suns team with us going to be a better team with Kevin Durant a great player along with the other great players that can carry the team.
Also because it’s still achievable for the Bulls to get above 500 even if they don’t make the 2023 NBA Playoffs.

Here is the back of the Def Leopard t-shirt.

It’s warm today in Nebraska to play golf outside with short sleeves.

Also a great golf comedy movie is on E which is Happy Gilmore.
Happy Gilmore is the 1 of kind Pro Golfer that wears a NHL Jersey while golfing instead of being inside the box by wearing the common golf clothes that Pro golfers wear.

 

[firestorm]

I see my Flames and Blackhawks both got outplayed by 2 good teams.
I didn’t expect the Stars to make the Avalanche an embarrassment since they won that battle of top gun teams 7-3.

MLS
I’m pretty happy my Chicago Fire avoid a defeat in an opener which was vs the New York City Football Club.
The game ended in a 1-1 stalemate.

College Baseball
I see the Volunteers clinched the series vs the awful Bulldogs because they outplayed them to win 7-2.
As I expected along with most likely all other Volunteers baseball fans the Great Volunteers win the series vs an awful Bulldogs team in Rocky Top.

The Washington Huskies continue to prove they are Top Dogs because they swept the the Bears in a Saturday doubleheader 6-0, and 9–1.
The Huskies most likely will sweep the 4 game series vs an outmatched Bears team that doesn’t have the ability to hold the Huskies under 5 runs, has repeatedly been outhit, and can’t keep a game close that they would have a realistic chance of winning after the 7 inning stretch.

 

[firestorm]

Most likely the Volunteers baseball team is a great team because they’ve shown winning consistency in multiple past seasons.
I’m not surprised the Volunteers swept the awful Bulldogs, however I’m still very happy they outplayed an outmatched team that had no realistic chance of winning a single game Vs the great Volunteers team.

I’m not stunned the Huskies swept an awful Bears team because the Bears played out of their weight class or out of their league vs a stacked talented Huskies team playing great.

I’m hopeful the Huskies could show they are an undeniable great team when they play evenly matched teams that realistically could win 2 of 3 games vs them, or even sweep them.

Hello regular VN posters in this thread.

A big change at Texas Roadhouse because Megan a great cook that I’ve repeatedly talked to mainly about sports cars I saw, Ferrari cars, super hero comic books, and other entertainment had her last day working at the Shadow Lake Texas Roadhouse on a Sunday March 5, 2023.
I’m less sad about this great change mainly because she said she will be returning to see her former coworkers which I’ve seen other former Texas Roadhouse coworkers do in the past.

I would want the Titans to give Amazing Jackson an offer he can’t refuse even if it gets matched by the Ravens. That’s if a non exclusive franchise tag for Lamar Jackson gets used by the Ravens.

Fool's Rush In
10/10

A romance movie that has 2 realistic flawed likable main characters, Isabel and Alex. Alex is an average-looking guy so it's not unbelievable that he would be married to Isabel a 10 because she is a babe played by Salma Hayek.

The movie lives up to its literal title, the movie has a big budget so it's set mostly in Las Vegas and was filmed in that fabulous city. Another location is New York City which is where Alex Whitman is from.
Isabel says a line to Alex in this movie that everything in life is predestined so it's mostly her saying God has a master plan for every human which is believable because she is a Catholic.
Isabel is a Catholic so it's believable she would pray to God, also talk positively about Jesus Christ, and have an item that shows Jesus Christ on a cross in their home, and the movie doesn't attempt to be preachy with information about God and Jesus Christ.
Also, the movie provides evidence for the whole God has a master plan for everyone with the trick being to look at the signs or read the signs.
Jeff is Alex's best friend that succeeds as comic relief, succeeds in saying entertaining lines, and is shown to be a likable character.
Both Alex and Isabal have exciting jobs which from what I understand are being shown accurately.


The movie uses existing songs that fit the scenes, characters consistently act realistic including when Isabel finds out a surprising revelation about Alex.
The movie gives enough information about why Cathy Stewart wants to date Alex Whitman, and she is shown to be an entertaining likable character. I enjoy this movie provides something different for why exactly the break up happens instead of being uncreative and predictable by using the misunderstanding cliche which has been used a lot in Romance movies.
Isabel is a photographer which the movie succeeds showing that.


The movie has great messages, also realistic issues that Alex and Isabel have to deal with.
The movie provides a believable reason why Alex and Isabel's relationship changed to a serious relationship. Anything that should be explained or have a believable reason for happening this movie has including why exactly did a relationship not end with a 1-night stand, and why exactly Alex decided to change which is not a plot hole because the movie provides a strong understandable reason.
The movie uses a sad song I wonder by Chris Isaak is used in a perfect scene, I do cry during what is the saddest scene in this realistic romance movie.

The movie has an unforgettable great ending that satisfied me.
This is a movie that shows realistic issues which humans are going to struggle with, however still has an optimistic tone because of the whole set in a universe where Isabel a Catholic believes that God has a master plan for everyone, and the whole trick is to see the signs.



The Art of Racing In The Rain
8/10
Good dialogue, memorable lines, drama, romance that isn't shoehorned in, exciting racing scenes, 3 Real Ferrari Cars being shown in driving scenes, entertaining likable supporting characters, 4 likable distinguishable main characters including Enzo the male golden retriever dog, a variety of locations. The Ferrari Automotive maker does get shown in this movie. The movie shows a realistic depiction of time including Enzo shown as a fully grown golden retriever which is logical because Enzo was a puppy when Denny acquires him.

The movie shows a realistic length of time before Denny starts driving as a Formula 1 Racer.
The movie shows Enzo to be an active character that uses important actions.
The movie has an incredible ending that satisfied me.

This movie is told from the perspective of a male Golden Retriever dog that has the name Enzo, and he is named after Enzo Ferrari the creator of the Legendary Automobile Maker that also has a Formula 1 Racing team that is Ferrari.
Kevin Costner that is the inner voice of Enzo is perfect.

The romance in this movie is not shoehorned in, also the movie does show off the main location which is Seattle. Also, Denny is shown wearing a Seattle Mariners cap.
The movie gives information about what is Eve's paying occupation which is an honorable job.
The movie provides a believable reason why Denny meets Eve, a realistic progression for the relationship, and they have chemistry.


The movie does deal with death because 1 main character does die because of a real disease.
The poster for this movie is accurate because Denny does drive a Classic Red Ferrari with Enzo in the same classic Red Ferrari.

I enjoyed that this movie does show a Ferrari LaFerrari being driven because that is a Supercar, and a LaFerrari is a production car that is extremely close to a Formula 1 car.
I also enjoyed this movie for 1 scene does show a Ferrari Pista moving because I will be driving a Ferrari Pista on a Las Vegas Racetrack in the future.

The movie is based on the successful Fiction Drama book of the same name.
The movie has great messages including believing in yourself and your dreams, and you can accomplish your high-bar career goal even if people around you want to discourage you.
Another great message is death is inevitable for humans, a family can still be less sad if a family member is with the family instead of in a hospital where visiting hours are limited. Also, 1 main character facing death with fearlessness is well done most likely because that main character thought of being at peace, and because the main character might have the peace of knowing she'll go to Heaven.


This movie was made for me because of the amazing ending, has a likable male golden retriever dog as one main character Enzo, Ferrari Cars, Race scenes, and is set in Seattle the same great City that is where the University of Washington is.
Other reasons this movie was made for me are stated below.
I'm a fan of the Washington Huskies Baseball team, Men's Basketball team, Men's Soccer team, and Football team.
Italy does get shown in this movie.
Ferraris are my favorite Sports Cars and SuperCars, Red is my favorite color, and the only dog I've had is a male golden retriever named Riley.

Here is something that makes me very happy which is DC giving a strong explanation why Superman is a better hero than Batman.


WatchMojo are rose colored Batman fans because they made the same video why Batman is a better hero than Superman. This is very unoriginal recycling the same video.
They also made a Batman Vs Spider Man which hero is better, Bruce Wayne Vs Tony Stark which is the better hero.

In all 4 videos they choose Bruce Wayne, and Batman showing they are Batman fans that have no objectivity.

It wouldn’t surprise me if they choose Batman over Black Panther even though the fact that Black Panther is a better super hero with being a King of a fictional Country that has incredible advanced technology, and other factual reasons why Black Panther is a better super hero than Batman.

I’m very happy DC decided to explain with undeniable strong facts why Superman is a better hero than Batman because the reasons they state are factual reasons.

I assume WatchMojo became very mad after reading DC’s explanation with undeniable factual reasons why Superman is a better hero than Batman including Superman talks to the people he saved, and pose for photos after rescuing people

Thanks.

I’ll watch it later today.

Chicago mostly is my second home outside of Nebraska because I’ve visited Chicago with my mother more than a dozen times usually in the Summer to see a Cubs home game.
It’s a summer tradition which began in 2000.

Winter 2006
We went to Chicago to see the Bulls play the Wade-O’Neal era Heat.

The Heat defeated the Bulls in a very entertaining competitive game.
I’m a lot less unhappy they lost to a great Heat team because I got to see my Bulls play a great Heat team that had great players, and because the Heat Bulls game was a thrilling entertaining game.(

 

[firestorm]

My first exposure to Chicago was reruns of Family Matters on TBS Superstation. I grew up in the 90s so TBS SuperStation would air Reruns of Family Matters, and another successful Family Sitcom Full House which was set in San Francisco. Same era where TBS Superstation had WCW, showed the Atlanta Braves games, and that unforgettable unique tv show Dinner and a Movie where the hosts would make dinner, and also give reactions to the movie during the breaks.



I'm very interested to see which team exactly Lamar Jackson a showstopper player signs with.
Possibly the New York Jets could hit the jackpot if the HOF QB Aaron Rodgers aka Captain Rodgers. The Jets do have talented players including a proven reliable Workhorse RB that went to Iowa State, and talented players on defense so they could be a consistent winning team that has a realistic chance to make the Playoffs with a talented reliable QB that can defeat the Patriots and other teams that are using their reliable first string QB that gives the best chance to win.

I see my Stars bulldoze a good Sabres team 10-4. An embarrassing home loss for a good Sabres team that has a realistic chance of making the 2023 NHL Playoffs. My Stars a great team have a realistic chance of going farther in the Playoffs than the Cowboys which lost in the 2nd round to a great 49ers team.
My Avalanche lost to a great Kings team 5-2, however, the Avalanche still have a strong chance of making the Playoffs as a Wild Card team while teams on the outside looking in including my Flames, Sabres, etc need to win most of the remaining NHL regular season games.
It's a prosperous year for Pro Kings teams in California because most likely the Los Angeles Kings will be in the 2023 NHL Playoffs, and the Sacremento Kings most likely will be in the 2023 NBA Playoffs which would end their long long Playoff Drought since they haven't made the NBA Playoffs since the 2005-2006.


I'm a lot less sad my Fighting Illini lost to the Nittany Lions in a close game because Illinois has a winning season including they did defeat Michigan State, most recently a regular in a unforgettable double overtime thriller they defeated a good Michigan team which was before they narrowly lost to a great Boilermakers team in the final regular season. Those are reasons I expect they'll be in the 2023 Men's March Madness Tournamet.
Also I'm very happy the Volunteers outplayed a bad Rebels team since they won 70-55 in the Music City.

The Tennessee Volunteers play the Mizzou Tigers which is a coin flip game so it's most likely to be determined by which team can make more critical shots, and make less critical mistakes.

My Bulls showing they have the ability to be a good team this week did defeat a good Nuggets team 117-96 in the Mile High City.
I really didn't see a Bulls team that hasn't gotten above 500 to win by any double digits vs a Nuggets team that realistically can advance past the 1st round in the 2023 NBA Playoffs.

2023 College Baseball

The Washington Huskies that are Top Gun Dogs are not flying under the radar because Kiefer Lord was named Perfect Game's National Pitcher Of the Week on Tuesday March 7.
He got this high bar achievement because of retiring all 18 batters when the Washington Huskies shut out the Northern Colorado Bears 6-0 on Saturday in Seattle, Washington. Even though the Northern Colorado Bears are a bad team that doesn't change this is a challenging task for a Starting Pitcher to accomplish.


Washington Huskies

The Huskies defeated the Portland Pilots 6-2 in Portland. The Huskies had a titanic three in this game because the talented players Coby Morales, Will Simpson, and Johnny Tincher all 6 of the Huskies' runs.

The great Huskies have an impressive 9-game winning streak, and they have a great 10-2 record.

This weekend the Huskies at home will be playing a Mediocre (6-6) Utes team. While Utah has a realistic chance of winning 1 game because they are a better team than the terrible Northern Colorado Bears, however, I still expect the Huskies to outplay a Utes team that has a tough task of minimizing the great batting plays by the Huskies batters.

Tennessee realistically can bounce back vs Morehead State Eagles that realistically could play in competitive games vs the Volunteers since they are a winning team(9-4), however, I still expect the Volunteers to execute more critical hits needed to win the series vs a good Eagles team.

 

[firestorm]

I’m hoping the Volunteers don’t disappoint again Vs the Mizzou Tigers in a coin flip SEC Tournament game.

Currently I’m relaxed on a long couch watching the game.

 

[firestorm]

Missouri with the chip continues to prosper,
They outplayed a Volunteers team that had a realistic chance of winning without ZZ, however the Tigers continued to hit critical shots while Tennessee wasn’t able to make much shots in the final 4 minutes.

Most likely Tennessee will be in the 2023 March Madness Tournament so this isn’t likely a dreadful loss while information I’ve heard Vanderbilt needs to defeat Kentucky for a realistic chance to make the 2023 March Madness Tournament.

 

[firestorm]

I’m not surprised at all Tennessee is in the 2023 Men’s March Madness Tournament.

2023 College Baseball
The Utes avoided getting swept so the long winning streak at home for the Washington Huskies, and this season ended.
However they can start a new winning streak, also 2-1 in the PAC 12, and they won 2 games vs a Utes team that competed with them.

It’s very unsurprising the Volunteers swept the Morehead Eagles because they are a middleweight playing a heavyweight that had no realistic of winning the series. That is why if they had 1 game vs a Top Gun Volunteers team it would have been a high bar accomplishment.

 

[firestorm]

I filled out 1 2023 Men’s March Madness Bracket on ESPN.
I have Gonzaga defeating Tennessee.

Tennessee has good odds of winning the Men’s College Basketball Championship.
25-1 which while not the best, except it’s the good odds meaning achievable which is far different than any long shot odds.

I would like Tennessee chances more if ZZ had not gotten injured

Then most likely I’m set myself up for disappointment, while Gonzaga still is a great team with a strong realistic chance of winning the College Basketball Championship along with Houston, Arizona, Kansas, Purdue, and Alabama.
All of those great teams have stacked talented rosters, and have consistently performed up to their highest capability.


I’ll be pretty happy if Tennessee gets past the round of 32 since the No ZZ is an exposable flaw which was shown Vs an equal team Missouri.

It wasn’t a flaw Vs the Rebels because they played a bad team that don’t have enough talented players to keep the game close in the 2nd half which is why the Rebels didn’t have a realistic chance of winning in the final 5 minutes of the 2nd half.

Since only good teams and great teams are in the March Madness Tournament then Tennessee will have will have a high wall to climb to win multiple games in the tournament.

I’m enjoying the 10 minutes fat burning workout with Funk Roberts because a variety of 10 different exercises that is easy to use including the mountain climber, and because I trust that because Funk Roberts is a fitness expert that I can get the desired result which is loss of stomach fat.

I’m proud being mostly German because Germany has great history of prospering with wins in the Men’s Soccer World Cup, the athletes on the Men’s Germany team are talented great athletes, and German soccer players have prospered in Pro Soccer Leagues.

Also different variations of bread because variety is the spice of life and because it’s a skill that involves creativity.
A variety of sausages.

The sweet soft food gummy bears is a German creation.

Boris Becker
He is a great Tennis player.
Currently he remains the youngest player to win the Gentleman’s Single Wimbledon Championship which happened when he was 17 in 1985.

That’s a high bar incredible accomplishment that most likely will not be outdone or matched,

Tradinno
The giant animatronic dragon that breathes fire is an amazing achievement in engineering.

January 25, 2023

Here is the busty Asian goddess Andy that works as a server at the Country themed bar-restaurant that has a dance area which is Gilley’s in Las Vegas.

Her name is Andy, and I found out from her it’s not short for Andrea. She is a busty Asian babe, and the only woman I’ve met in my life that has the name Andy.
The reason why I’m using the horns up because I see this is a Texas themed saloon so it fits.
Her eyes are very dark brown so like Salma Hayek her eyes look very close to black.
She also has pretty looking thin eye brows, terrific long hair with no split ends, and a great smile.
