2015: The Year in Film (Somewhat)

Does anyone go out to the movies any more? Ticket prices are through the roof. A snack costs as much as the ticket. You sit through a quarter-hour of trailers before the film even starts, and depending on what you've come to see, those trailers may pique your interest—or quash it. Other filmgoers irritate you with their talking and their mobile devices. The RunPee app notwithstanding, if you get up to go in the middle of the film, you are bound to miss something—and why would you want to miss anything considering what you paid for the ticket?

Sophie Polkamp stirs something up inside of me. With her Uma Thurman like (as in Kill Bill) athletic skills, those arched eyebrows that offer mischief and those full cheeks making her all the way cute, Polkamp is a mystery that the good doctor wants to solve. So who has tickets for Dutch field hockey games?
The good doctor has to go to a surfing competition. Now I am not sure just how competitive Erika Hosseini is, as she seems to be more model than surfer, but I know that I am ready to ride her waves!
The good doctor will be straight up when he tells you he has never followed the Hammer Throw, especially in the past when I imagined hairy women from the Communist Bloc as the competitors. The lovely Italian, Silvia Salis shattered that myth in my eyes and I can watch her all day. Now I wonder what else I can get her to throw…or at least grip hard?
The good doctor knows that there is not a requirement to be attractive to play beach volleyball…but there might be in Brazil. Talita Rocha certainly meets the requirement, as she is an expert as showing off her “assets”.

Last year, we did our first ever debate on Notinhalloffame.com where we tackled the Hall of Fame merit of twenty-four men who are on the Hall of Fame ballot, in what was in our opinion the most loaded ballot in our lifetime.
Since it was so much fun last time, we thought we would do it again!
One thing that has not changed is the number. We will again debate twenty-four men who are on the ballot.
What has changed are the ones debating. Last year I had the pleasure of having DDT, the curator of DDT’s Pop Flies blog and D.K. of the Phillies Archivist blog. This year, Spheniscus, who has participated in past Rock and Roll discussions, will be joining me.
