  1. Saw it and really liked it. Probably third in the Greta rankings for me, but that’s tough company. Margot Robbie is from a different planet.

    My hope is that Greta takes the Chris Nolan route. Use pop culture IP to elevate her power in Hollywood, and then go back to making her own work with a higher budget. Supposedly her next two films are Narnia films, which doesn’t thrill me but remains comparable to Nolan’s three pop culture IP movies.

    Just rewatched “Forks” — wow, what an episode. Best episode of TV that I’ve seen in a long time. The scene with Olivia Colman at the end is just perfect.

    So jarring to have one of the top 2 or 3 greatest living actresses appear out of nowhere in episodic television. She is incredible and the episode was the best of the season (and probably the series).

  3. What's really funny is that this entire thing started because derka and ztejas got offended by a female ESPN reporter describing the WNBA three point contest results as breaking a WNBA and NBA record. Derka found that description to be, and I quote, "extra retarded". But sure, this is all about tired-ass Office memes and definitely not about being scolded for using the word as a stand in for dumb, stupid, etc.

    I know I will be seeing two movies that weekend.  Saturday is Barbie, Sunday is Oppenheimer.  I know a lot of folks might be doing the same thing.  We are getting a lot of good movies this summer.  

    Were you able to get tix at the Lincoln center 70mm imax? It’s basically sold out for the first 2 weeks, I waited way too long apparently.

  5. One thing I always struggled with in the final season is how quickly Ted rolls over to approve the deal and sign a contract. He goes from saying “if I sign that contract I am dead” to jumping on board in like 2 minutes because of some silly thing Don says.

    I never commented on Bo's coaching and development or he said he is failure. I simply said DT has arguably been the worst recruited position on the team in the Sarkisian era and the fact that staff is taking an out-sized class and a portal player confirms that. 

    Apologies for starting this and then abandoning you to take up the torch. I haven't had time to read through all the no doubt erudite back and forth over the last few pages, but to be clear the bolded is all I intended with my original post (and I was not intending to capture Edge players). If someone wants to argue that doesn't equate to "borderline dumpster fire", fine, choose a different descriptor. I think the results are overall not great - regardless of the reason - and I hope it improves or I believe we'll have an average at best interior defensive line in 2024/2025. As you say the coaches obviously recognize the dearth of talent and are doing what they can to address it. And for fuck's sake I hope Sidney finds his Ritalin before he reads this post.

    Ok, why are you unhappy with it? And who do you have problems with from that list? Educate the rest of us in detail. 

    I’m not interested in trashing our players further; certainly hope you’re right. Personally I’ll be surprised if we have anything more than an average interior in 2024 and 2025 absent an infusion of new talent.

    I don’t think DL recruiting has been a “dumpster fire.” We’re in year 3, and year one was a Covid fuck show. We need more interior DL this class, and it looks like we’ll get them. Davis has landed some top ranked talent, including the recruits I listed. 

    To be fair to me, “borderline dumpster fire” was the phrase. But if you are happy with that list of recruits, god bless.

    I'm actually kind of with you on the OOS recruiting red flags, but Bo and Flood are much more trustworthy than Giles and Hand.

    I understand Bo’s reputation, but defensive line recruiting has been a borderline dumpster fire since he got here. Which is a shame since it’s one of the few position groups fuckface actually left in relatively ok shape with Coburb, Sweat, Ojomo and Collins.

    8 Oscar Noms and 2 Victories. As much as I appreciate Dunkirk its not in the same class as TDK. 9.0 on IMDB. And is there really any debate that TDK is the best movie of the superhero genre?

    I certainly agree with you that TDK and Dunkirk are not in the same class. 

  11. Dunkirk is a master piece, and Memento isn’t far behind. For that he gets a life pass. His popcorn movies like Dark Knight are just ok to me, but he’s always worth a watch at the very least. I will be at the 70mm IMAX on opening day for this one.

  12. Not ashamed to have really enjoyed this. Some of the acting was super cringe, but JG and Salim were both great. A classic C movie that is lots of fun. 

    Spoiler

    Do we get a covenant 2 with John Kinley extracting the afghani who drove him across the country and took a bullet in the shoulder on the dam? Kinley pays his debt after all, and this guy has to be exponentially “wanted” by the taliban. 

     

  13. Saw this yesterday, and thought it was a really fantastic film. Compelling story, told in an interesting way, with excellent acting. The lead actress should be in the awards convos 6 months from now.
