The Top 40 Basketball Movies - #37 Boogie

 The Top 40 Basketball Movies - #37 Boogie

Boogie

A highly regarded high school player with family issues wants to play against the best competition so picks his school based on one opponent. I liked this plot more with Vision Quest in the 80s but Vision Quest didn't have the protagonist picking his own high school so it made more sense in that he just wanted to compete with the highest level of state athlete. It's kind of a ridiculous high school ball plot intro but what remains of a plot and what you should have in a good movie is missing. Boogie gets a girlfriend who just happens conveniently to be an ex of the player he is destined to beat.  The ending had a neat moment where the whole team gets disqualified and the teams just take it to an outdoor court. The movie was loaded with family drama and his parents fighting. They each were hiring a different agent for their son. I'm not sure if there was any actual character growth, or if there was supposed to be, they didn't show it. Movie was also slow for the most part and the ball wasn't so thrilling which is why it's ranked so low. I don't think I heard of a single actor, not that that matters. It was free on Netflix, so there's that. First movie to have a positive Rotten Tomatoes audience score, but they must be generous here.

50 Favorite Adult Swim Characters

I tried to get a good variety and yet be fair to what I like the most. I'm sure there are one I've missed and some that might be surprising but if it aired on Adult Swim - I can use it. I didn't use any characters from either Robot Chicken or Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job! as they are basically clip shows and while good, the re-occurring characters aren't used enough. Also, it turns out H. Jon Benjamin is the voice for half these shows. 50. Chains     Fat Guy Stuck in Internet 49. Assy McGee    Assy McGee H. Jon Benjamin plays the mayor. 48. The Mayor    Tom Goes to the Mayor A Picture of Jeff Goldbloom instead of the Mayor, but this was by far the funniest thing on the show. 47. Inuyasha    Inuyasha 46.

My Top 100 One Drop (CC) Creatures (20-1)

My Top 100 One Drop (CC) Creatures (100-81) My Top 100 One Drop (CC) Creatures (80-61) My Top 100 One Drop (CC) Creatures (60-41) My Top 100 One Drop (CC) Creatures (40-21) 20. Vexing Devil Giving an opponent a choice is never a good idea. However I really feel like it's win win here in the aggressive deck. A 4/3 for one will almost always be worth a card. So the real question is - is it worth a card to deal 4 damage for a red? It's not quite Flame Slash good in a control deck, or as great top deck as Thunderous Wrath but better than Thunderbolt or Lava Axe . 19. Scute Mob Not a true one drop. But by turn six hopefully you are going get a hydra-like insect that will quickly get insanely huge if not dealt with. My biggest issue is that it doesn't have trample. It's still a great costed creature that can do some work if unchecked. There are lots of ways to give it Trample in Green not named Rancor . 18. Dragonmaster Outcast And yet another non-true o
