Re: Movies: New Ideas Welcome II Prequel Reboot

The ESPN 30 For 30 documentary on the Washington Redskins replacement team was excellent. Some of the basic facts regarding the strike, the fielding of replacement teams, players crossing after just a game or so, etc..., I recalled. But there were a couple of nuggets in there of which I was unaware.

The other facet of it that I really enjoyed was the reaction of the people involved to the fact the replacement players (with very limited exceptions) did not receive Super Bowl rings. Of course the replacement players were disappointed. Jack Kent Cooke's response was obvious -- too expensive. Bobby Beathard manned up and admitted they absolutely should have received rings. Joe Gibbs uncharacteristically waffled all over the place, but then refused to answer.

But most interesting of all were the actual Redskins players who were understandably outraged at the scabs who took their jobs and ultimately assisted in the massive cave job by the union. Almost to a man their response was that the replacements made it possible to win the Super Bowl that year and they earned the rings.

Vincent N Roxxy:

A reserved loner rescues a woman from a killer (gang-related in some sort of way, it's obvious). Form a bond, then their violent pasts catch up with them. Cliched, worn out. Tried its best, you almost REALLY connect with the characters, then it decides: screw it, going more cliche and predictable with the ending. Meh.

Sicario and Hell Or High Water were great.

My wife and I saw Wind River this weekend. I thought it was surprisingly good.

I'll admit to being a Cormac McCarthy junkie, and Taylor Sheridan's other movies that he wrote (Sicario and Hell or High Water) seemed to me to have a little of that same McCarthy stark stoicism interrupted by extreme violence.

Boston Accent:

Sorry, meant "Gone Baby Gone." It was good, but **** if I wasn't laughing throughout the movie due to the Boston Accent spoof. Child kidnapping, twists and turns to the plot, moral dilemma, etc. Worth watching for sure.

It. Finally a movie that lives up to the hype and previews. Honestly I think Annabelle: Creation was a bit creepier and predictable overall, but It has more depth and character development and fully delivers the scare factor. Easily his best scary movie for me since perhaps Misery.

Airborne is a cinematic classic.

Mitchell Goosen: Mitchell Goosen at your service. I'm not from around here. What to tell. Don't know what I want to be when I grow up. Don't care. Just as long as I live near the beach and don't have to wear a tie. Then I'll be stylin'.

Augie: Stylin'? St-stylin'?

Mitchell Goosen: Let me tell you what stylin' is. The perfect session: A-Frame wave, ground swell, spittin' out salt water in your face, doing a little lip action move, a 360 without a bounce. I call it a Liquid Drano Wannabe Bullwinkle. I tell you no lie, my friends. It's a consciousness raiser.
