I am super fucking psyched for The Wolfman. I think it’s going to be amazing.,

               INT. LIVING ROOM - NIGHT

               Joe and Sandra sit on the couch. Sandra watches THE SUPER
               BOWL on TV. Joe uses a laptop and half watches the TV as
               well. After a kickoff, Joe looks confused.

                                   JOE
                         So that guy has to run ALL the way
                         from one side of the field to the
                         other?

               Sandra looks at Joe and is shaking her head in disbelief.

                                   SANDRA
                         Yeah. That's kind of the whole
                         point of the game. 

                                   JOE
                         Seems like a lot of work.

               INT. LIVING ROOM - NIGHT

               Later. Same set up as the previous scene. The SAINTS dump a
               large cooler of Gatorade on their coach.

                                   JOE
                         HEY! They got Gatorade all over the
                         cameras! That's not cool.

                                   SANDRA
                         Those camera guys got in harms way.

                                   JOE
                         That guy is going to be STICKY
                         after that.

                                   SANDRA
                         I'm sure he'll be alright.

               On the screen, a SAINTS PLAYER is yelling enthusiastically
               into a camera.

                                   JOE
                         That guy is PISSED!

                                   SANDRA
                         No he's not. He's happy. They just
                         won.

                                   JOE
                         They did? There's forty four
                         seconds left.

                                   SANDRA
                         Trust me, they won. The game is
                         over.

                                   JOE
                         Oh. I don't get this game.

                                   SANDRA
                         Clearly.

Wow.

The Who sound like shit.

They’re the only reason I’ve been watching this goddamned game.

If I didn’t know that this was The Who, and I heard an audio recording of this performance I would say “WHO IS MURDERING THESE AWESOME WHO SONGS?! THEY SHOULD BE SHOT IN THE STREET AND PISSED ON!”

Roger Daltry sounds like he’s got throat cancer and Pete Townsend looks like grandpa fell asleep and the kids thought it would be funny to drape silly clothes on him.

I only just realized that Pete and Roger are the only surviving members of The Who left.

—————edit——————–

after getting chastised by Sandra, I will come back and admit that Roger sounded pretty decent on Won’t Get Fooled Again.

In football games, when they show the digital line (the line of scrimmage? I dunno, I don’t watch football) superimposed over the field, how do they superimpose it but still have the players standing on top of it. I don’t get it.

In looking for picture examples of this, I actually found out how it’s done.

Like that.

Basically there’s a computer program that knows exactly what the field is supposed to look like. It superimposes the line over that expected idea of what the field looks like when it’s empty. Then the computer basically scans every frame of the broadcast and obscures the superimposed line anywhere that the image of the field is changed (IE, when players or the ball or ref or whatever appears).

Makes sense.

Sandra thinks I’d look goofy wearing them and that it’s silly to buy gloves when winter’s almost over, but I don’t care. I think they’re bad ass. I just want to pretend like I’m a hitman.
