Califan007 The Constipated

3 straight AFCCG with Sanchez at QB is nothing to sneeze at. But it's not like the Bills have been relevant since 1999.

Two straight, not three...

Honest trailers are great

Yep lol...so is "Everything Wrong With" videos.

This is obviously meant for laughs and not to be serious, but still lol...

(Spoilers of course)

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.

I don't get the point of these comparisons.  Taking what another team did in the past, then extrapolating that out to what the Skins could/should do.  Comparisons like that doesn't exactly give me hope.  Could that happen for the Skins,..is i possible?  Sure, especially considering how the NFCE stands right now.  They have a mathematical shot.  But going by what I've seen of the current team so far, their play is far too inconsistent on both sides of the ball and they still lack talent at key positions to make me feel they have a good shot at winning the division, going to the playoffs, AND winning a playoff game.  It would be great but the eye test says the likelihood is low.

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.

Does anyone have a link to the original "Paloffs is Here" thread?

 

That was epic.

Paloffs is Now, not Here lol...

 

Been waiting to see this one for a long time. Simply awesome

 

"They call me Mr. Tibbs!"

Best scene of a classic movie:

Just started watching House Of Csrds (halfway through the 2nd season)...this is some diabolical ****! lol

Dude...Cybil was a hottie.  The diving board scene is good stuff.  And The Last Picture Show is an incredible film.  My favorite coming of age movie.  

 

And if you like Picture Show, check out Paper Moon.  It's a damn good movie as well, if you like older stuff.

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...

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.

Eagles waive their best WR, had a so so Draft and are going to improve by 2 to 3 games. It's the Dream Team all over again.

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?"

I think it's due to Lee's style of play...

I don't see many people on this board calling Romo that?

That's because anyone who does could get banned temporarily.

Meh. We're numb to it.

We suffered more injuries than any other defense in nfl history last season.

Why not get started already this year lol.

Does this mean we get to call him "Sean Knee" now?

Could somebody feel me

I'm not going to even try this, I suck at college players. I really don't have any idea about anyone unless they're mentioned in reference to the Skins close to the draft every year.

Follow my strategerie...all punters, baby!

Dang, I thought for sure that would have worked out better

Yeah, go figure lol...Actually, I'm surprised I got as high as 800 :thumbsup:

A hunter is hired to kill and take samples of what is thought to be the last Tasmanian Tiger in existence. He pretends to be researching Tasmanian Devils for a university so as not to arouse any suspicion, but the locals are not kind to "greenies". During his expedition he stays in the spare bedroom of a house occupied by a mother and her two kids, whose father went missing mysteriously a year (?) earlier. They naturally become close.

I really liked it.

I saw this one, too...it was really good :yes:...

Yep, what a great movie. I mean, probably top 3 I've seen so far this year. Michael Shannon gave an Oscar performance. :cool:

YES HE DID!! lol :yes:...there was an ache in watching him feeling so alone and helpless when he was worried he was losing his mind like his mother did around his age...like he didn't know what the hell to do. ...Just sad...

The movie Donnie Darko was similar to Take Shelter in obvious ways, and I thought Jake Gyllenhaal did a phenomenal job as well, worthy of Oscar consideration. Jessica Chastain (Take Shelter) and Mary McDonnell (Donnie Darko) both deserved consideration for their acting as well.

saw two really good movies this weekend.

Take Shelter - This movie should've been nominated for an Oscar. Michael Shannon (the jarhead detective from HBO's "Boardwalk Empire") is a small town ohio man, who is in his early 30s. His mother was diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia at 35. He begins to have weird visions and dreams, that gradually become more and more intense/violent. He has awful visions of a very violent storm, something "that no man has ever seen before," and begins to build this intricate tornado shelter in his backyard. His life starts to fall apart, and we basically watch this very kind and hard working man slip deeper and deeper into insanity. But there's a twist at the end that kinda blows your mind. In my opinion, this film could hold its own against "A Beautiful Mind."

It won (not nominated...WON) two awards at Cannes.

Wasn't that movie good? lol :yes:...I listed it on this thread as well.

Question about the ending (spoilers, in ninja):

Ok, so was the guy actually nuts and the ending showed him slipping back into his psychosis again, this time including his wife and child in his mind?...Or was the freakish storm actually approaching them on the beach, complete with one serious tidal wave? I've heard both lol...that the "storm" approaching at the end was symbolism for impending sanity finally taking over completely, as well as he was never crazy and his visions were prophetic.

It was good, but I want to see the documentary now! I love movies based on true stories.

Then if you can find it, see this one:

True story about the Snowtown murders in Australia. Snowtown is a small, depressing town in Australia, and a guy there ended up killing a bunch of people with the help of a few friends and his quasi-adopted son (who is shown in the poster).

Trailer:

Wild Bill

Man gets out of prison after spending 8 years locked up, tries finding his wife but she took off and is in Spain...but she left their two boys alone back in England. Father doesn't want to become a father, kids don't want him around, social services threatens to put the two boys in foster homes if Bill doesn't stay. Unfortunately, Bill's nefarious criminal past and his sons' current lives end up overlapping unexpectedly. Fortunately, you find out why they call him Wild Bill lol...

Very entertaining, VERY funny in parts (a lot of parts, actually)...great music throughout. And the guy who plays Wild Bill is excellent.

oh great, I'll check on Lifetime! Thanks!

I had found it online...just tried to find it again (can't remember where I saw it before), but came up empty.

My last movie:

Alexandra's Project

Plot: woman decides to give her husband a "special" birthday gift...this is one ****ed-up movie lol :yes:

It's described as a psychosexual thriller...that's a pretty good category to put it in. The ending made me want to punch my television lol...it was a GOOD ending, it just bothered me, I guess. Great acting throughout, and there were quite a few clues given out early in the movie, but done in such a subtle manner that they're easy to overlook at first.

Trailer:

Yea, +1 on the Steelers uni's being the ugliest I've seen in a while.

Well, right next to the Eagles' yellow/blue jerseys we got to see a couple years ago.

You mean the Mighty Morphin Power Eagles?

talhotblond (2009)

True story about a married, middle-aged man who starts talking to an attractive 18 year old girl in a chat room, and tells her he's also 18 years old and stationed in Iraq. They fall in love, he becomes obsessed and builds up a more elaborate lie, sending everything spiraling out of control and leading to tragedy.

Pretty good storytelling, pretty tragic consequences for damn near everyone shown in the movie. If you want to enjoy the documentary to its fullest, don't watch the trailer.
