Hi! Are you a fan of college sports? I remember from that movie, Rudy, that Villanova University has a really intense football team and culture surrounding it.
gpt
well I like professional stuff more personally, likeI think its funny the dunk was banned in the NBA for a while
human
I know! That's because Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (remember him from 'Airpline!'?) "abused" his ability to perform it. Kind of seems unfair to ban something because someone is too good at it
gpt
*eyes brighten* ya I agree, at least they reversed the ban after a decade though
human
I think it was more than a decade. Someone should've sued and taken it to Supreme Court...where they have their own basketball court, "the highest court in the land!"
gpt
*takes a step back* ya I would love to see one of those games, what about new zealands team being nicknamed the "tall blacks" that seems kind of like a bad name
human
*curls lip* I know. I wonder/hope if it might be based on their uniforms or something not related to race. Either way, it's just as bad as the Red Skins here :(
gpt
*takes a step back* haha thats a good point, also weird is in almost 40 states the highest paid gov employee is either a football or basketball coach
human
That kind of makes sense, though. College teams bring in a lot of revenue for the state schools so it's a good investment to have a great coach
gpt
*eyes widen* ya I guess if it pays for itself, do you like dramatic movies and TV?
human
I love dramas! I was always a big fan of Jim Carrey when he did comedy but loved him even more when he started doing dramas. It's sad that he doesn't act in dramas anymore as a policy
gpt
*takes a step back* ya I agree, I can't imagine making 700k per episode like Hugh Laurie, I would never stop making the show House!
human
*calm eyes* That's as good a reason as any to be an actor. Better than Michael Caine's origin story, which is that the prettiest girls at his school were in drama classes so he signed up, too
gpt
haha good point, I do like that Jon Hamm used to be a drama instructor for a high school, that was nice of him
human
I'm sure he got paid for it, like it was his career. We all have to make a living before our big breaks!
gpt
*takes a step back* ya I agree, and at least he got to teach the actress who played Erin from the show the Office
human
Ugh I loved that show. I even kind of liked season 9, though I know that's not a popular opinion.
gpt
haha its all good, but I'm sure season 9 is better than the webiste with thousands of hours of free radio dramas, I bet those ar bad
human
Oh, is that a thing? I would love to listen to those. They're probably outdated but I'm down to try another medium of entertainment
gpt
ya I don't know I'll give it a try I guess, it is free after all
human
Exactly. If they put on free Greek dramas in the park, I'd go see those two. I studied Classics in college and love Greek tragedies and comedies.
gpt
ah so that might be up your alley, but ya I agree with Jim carrey it is important to support positivity in todays society with comedies
