  1. And put me down for the group who thinks the run game sucked eggs lol...if it wasn't the OLine getting pushed back 5 yards or letting defensive players get tons of penetration it was RBs looking tentative, doing too much dancing around, and getting straight-up stoned at the point of contact to the point that they kept getting lifted off their feet and carried backwards several yards. I'm not sure I saw more than maybe 5 feet of yards after contact in our running game the first half.
  2. So much laundry I thought the refs were college kids coming home for the weekend...
  3. Yeah, starting Griffin was more or less a no-brainer, unless he just vomited all over himself in training camp or something lol... The browns are a rebuilding, rebooting team with a young roster and a new head coach. If McCown reaches his ceiling this season they might go 7-9, but he's toast after this year due to his age. If Griffin reaches his ceiling this year they might go 9-7 but will have in him a much younger QB they can continue to develop next season and extend the season after that if they are wanting to. This season is as much an assessment as it is anything else...try and see if Griffin can be salvaged, try and see which of their 142 WRs can catch lol...try and see if their arrow can be said to be pointing up at the end of the season instead of swirling around in a circle. And as said above, even if they're still losing Griffin alone will make the Browns relevant, at least for awhile. Nobody anywhere is gonna give two ****s about the Browns losing week after week with McCown behind center.
  4. The mainstream actors in that movie didn't know it was gonna be straight-up porn when they agreed to make it and while they were making it lol...apparently the porn scenes were entered into the film after shooting was finished. But should have expected something like that when the producer is the son of the founder of Hustler magazine.
  5. I'm assuming KoolBlue was a rare kind of hot mess at that age, too, just without any funds to maximize the mess and make it grow lol...
  6. Before looking at the posting date, I read the thread title and thought "What...again?!" lol...
  7. That's what happened with Selma...the studio bigwigs even said so. They weren't looking at it as a strong Oscar contender and was lax on promoting it as such, until the movie kept getting standing ovations at theaters. Then they said "Oh, ****" and started trying to play catch up with the other movies that had been promoted much longer. Got those two, anyway lol...
  8. I've seen almost all of the Oscar nominated movies: The Big Short - really good, great acting: A- The Revenant - also really good and some very good acting, deserves best Director win imo: A- Bridge of Spies - good and entertaining, Hanks is Hanks (as expected)...probably not worthy of Best Picture win, though (does have a bit of an uplifing feel at the end): B+ Mad Max - very entertaining and great cinematography; Charlize Theron is the best part of the movie, best acting (Max is barely a character in the film lol)...not worthy of winning Best Picture, though, imo: B Room - Brie Larson is VERY good, movie is rather tense in parts...good flick overall. Not worthy of the win, though: B Brooklyn - haven't seen it yet The Martian - Entertaining but Damon is the only good performance in the film; too many flaws to be worth Best Picture win (I 'splained why above): B- Spotlight - haven't seen it yet
  9. Last movie I saw was... Some Douchebag's Film Starring: God's Perfect Idiot A Hot Chick A British Villain The Comic Relief A Moody Teen A CGI Character A Gratuitous Cameo Thoroughly enjoyed it, funny from beginning to the very last frame...B+
  10. This is obviously meant for laughs and not to be serious, but still lol... (Spoilers of course)
  11. The Martian - B- Spoilers: A bit overrated imo. And some questionable casting to boot. Jessica Chastain--who I've crushed over for years now--doesn't belong in the role they gave her. She's barely believable. At one point the script has her saying (and I'm being serious here), "Whoa, slow down, cowboy". It's a cliche' line and she reads it as if she's literally looking at the script while doing so lol...and the entire crew seems like they're all good looking 30 year olds. I barely believed any of them had the gravitas to be hurling around in space together. Kristin Wiig is wasted in her role, and not very good (Chastain would have been better in that role actually). Donald Glover's "eccentric genius" role is less humorous than it is laughable and cringeworthy--he's trying waaaaay too hard to be eccentric. And surprisingly enough, considering it was his genius that came up with the idea that saves Damon's stranded astronaut, the movie doesn't even show Glover's character when the news is relayed that his idea worked and they've saved Matt Damon. We get every other character's reaction but Glover is nowhere to be found. Matt Damon is easily the best of the lot, but the movie makes a mistake by having him being more like a YouTube personality than an astronaut/scientist suddenly finding himself stuck alone on Mars. That might have worked at the beginning but it would have been far more powerful and effective to see his "YouTube host" delivery gradually dissolve into one of bare human emotion of fear and dispair as the realization starts to set in that he will end up like a modern Major Tom and die alone in space. But that really doesn't happen. No matter how many days (or "sols") have passed, Damon acts like it's just been 10 days that have gone by. It was entertaining enough, though, and the whole Love Train montage at the end was gratifying, so it gets a B- from me.
  12. I doubt many losing teams look like they're about to make a run before they do indeed make a run, though lol...The Panthers sure as hell didn't last year before they started their run, whidh I assume was the point of the comparison. Paloffs is Now, not Here lol...
  13. Just started watching House Of Csrds (halfway through the 2nd season)...this is some diabolical ****! lol
  14. Paper Moon is fantastic. Touching, funny as hell, well acted. As for Cybil Shepherd, just google "Cybil Shepherd Sexy" and there will be all kinds of nice stuff to feast on lol...
  15. Dear Zachary: A Letter To A Son About His Father This is one devastating movie. It punches you in the gut several times...It's also rather funny at times and extremely easy to watch. Guy is killed, and one of his friends makes a documentary about him to give to the guy's son Zachary (who was born after his death) so that, when he got older, he would know who his father really was. That's as much as I'll say in case you've never heard of the film.
  16. I'll ask you what I asked Hostile when he said the same thing on CZ...how does going from 10-6 to 11-5 equal "improving by 2-3 games?"
  17. I think it's due to Lee's style of play...
  18. That's because anyone who does could get banned temporarily.
  19. Does this mean we get to call him "Sean Knee" now?
