Superbowl Discussion thread

Since I didn’t see this anywhere…

I don’t actually care about the game. I am actually reading while it’s on mute in the background (a book about the history of race and sports, coincidentally) but I’ve not been particularly interested in any of the commercials I’ve seen.

What about you guys?

Oh - and WHY is James Bond still a thing? The fact that his love interest is clearly decades younger than him is just comical looking. There are plenty of actresses closer to his age that could be a love interest! I spent most of the commercial trying to figure out if it was supposed to be his daughter or a love interest.

Just turned it on! Perfect timing, just in time for the halftime show. :slight_smile: I don’t have a bird in this fight, so we did a lot of yardwork today while the first half was happening.

I almost didn’t recognize Shakira - she’s a beauty! I find her entertaining.

We have a small family bet going on the game itself - which I haven’t really paid attention to so far!

Shakira was great. J-Lo…not so much so.

There will never be halftime shows as good as Prince and Lady Gaga.

I really want to see Reed get a Super Bowl ring. Hoping KC wins.

I like Shakira infinitely more than JLo. Like 'em both but I’ve just always had a soft spot for Shakira.

I like JLo and Shakira. Whoever the guy is is not my cup of tea.

FYI JLo is 50 and Shakira is 43.

Miss you, Prince.

I give that half time show an 8.75.

I give it a solid 7. :slight_smile:

“I like JLo and Shakira. Whoever the guy is is not my cup of tea.”

Would have been so much better if the dude never appeared.

They did great for their ages, but I wouldn’t mind less dancing ( let the ensemble do that). I couldn’t get the words. Also, why must they dress so skimpy? The backup dancers were terrific

It’s a pet peeve of mine when people compare a current half time show with a past one. Can we just have “good” and not worry about “best”??? (not asking it as a question just stating my opinion)

I would enjoy a whole “Super Bowl” that was just a replay of the last 20 Super Bowl half time shows. THAT I would watch in entirety!

@bookworm is it because a lot of it was in Spanish?

The children’s choir was a nice touch.

Who was that guy?

Icky. Pole dancing, really? Yuck.

I like latin music. I like both Shakira and J. Lo well enough. They look great for any age.

Dancers were great. Costuming was silly as were the rope and the poles. If you want to put on a dance show, put on a dance show. Don’t pretend you are actually singing and actually playing the drums. That looked kind of ridiculous and as fake as it was.

I have no idea who the two guys are.

Apparently the guys were J Balvin and Bad Bunny: https://www.billboard.com/articles/news/super-bowl/8549866/j-balvin-bad-bunny-super-bowl-halftime-show-2020

There are male latinx hip hop and rappers I like. These were not two of them lol. (Admittedly this was my first and only time hearing them.)

Show produced by Jay Z’s Roc Nation. He has a multi-year contract with the NFL.

Shakira amazing!

Lighting effects awesome!

Time for JLo to hang ‘em up.

What’s with all the horror and sci fi related commercials? Is it usually like this and I just don’t remember?

Also that halftime show was a huge political statement and I can’t wait to watch the backlash lol.
