American Hustle was really good. Bradley Cooper, Amy Adams, and Jennifer Lawrence were great. My main man Christian Bale was excellent, as always. He's as close to being a method actor as one can get without actually being one. The guy loses and puts on weight like nobody's business.
I wouldn't at all be opposed to Chudzinski. I wouldn't mind Whisenhunt either.
While there isn't that one uber-appealing option out there right now, several of the current options would be an upgrade over Caldwell's boring, unimaginative offense.
Anchorman 2's early reviews have been surprisingly positive. I thought it was going to stink when it was announced and the previews have been awful, but I guess I'll have to check it out in theaters. It is being advertised as less quotable than the originally, unfortunately.
Not surprising, the first one was overflowing with gold. I'll be happy if the sequel is just plain good, let alone near as good as the first.
Another clutch performance by Jacoby. That's absolutely the word for him. Maybe he isn't a "#1" receiver, but as a player on this team, he comes up big when we need him, every week. This year, moreso than any other offensive player.
That's how I've felt about him: as a receiver, he isn't a consistent, every-down, move the chains kind of receiver. But he's playmaker. He makes the plays when they need to be made, both as a returner and as a receiver. Very clutch player indeed.
That's just how British shows are. They do seasons in a weird way over there, and great shows disappear too quickly. Then again, they don't give their good shows the opportunity to be bad, a la HIMYM, so maybe it's a blessing in disguise.
I see your point, but Spaced wouldn't have gone bad in its third series, or for quite a few seasons to come. The characters were really starting to hit their strides. But oh well.
Just finished the Simon Pegg show Spaced. It's such a shame they only made two seasons.
Isn't he #2 in receptions this year? i could be wrong..
He's actually 5th on the team behind Torrey, Rice, Dallas Clark, and Marlon.
I really hope we can bring him back on the cheap, if only as a specialist. I don't think his production as a receiver merits a big time deal, from us or from anyone. His real value is returning kicks, as we saw today.
After being on season 3 episode 1 of Breaking Bad when the series finale actually aired, I got caught up and finished the show the other night. What a stellar show.

Exactly. It's not like Gravity is gonna be used to teach a class on anything except CGI.
And sound. The Dolby Atmos surround sound integration is stunning.
There's no such thing as a PG whatever horror.
PG-13 movies make their money through moments-that-make-you-jump/surprises. R-rated horror movies can obviously do whatever. But yeah, good PG-13 horror movies are hard to find, except for the diamonds in the rough like Insidious and The Ring.
Poor, poor Johnny Depp. Disney was far more concerned with collecting some cheap, easy laughs through The Lone Ranger than they were with crafting a quality movie. Depp had very little to work with as Tonto, besides the few cheap jokes. What a letdown, Disney.
Despite my low expectations, and the fact that I put off watching it due to these expectations, I found Warm Bodies to be a very likable film. It was a nice twist on the typical zombie movie.
I never used to like the movie Kick [profanity deleted], but that rescue scene with the girl where Nicholas Cage dies, is so freaking awesome.
Just watched that today, matter of fact. Most of those action sequences are freaking awesome indeed.
I know I'm late to the party, but I thought I'd give my feelings on Affleck as Batman. I'm certainly disappointed, if only because I wanted so badly for Bale to return as Batman.
Nevertheless, the casting makes sense. If we were to see lots of Affleck as Bruce Wayne, I'd be seriously questioning the casting. But in this context, we are sure to see plenty more of Batman than we are Bruce Wayne, so Affleck just may be able to pull it off.
That's who I was going to take, nice pick
Sorry man, and thanks.
My pick is in. My team is now complete.
You want a bimbo who lacks any semblance of acting ability to play arguably the most prominent female super hero?
In the above scenario, would anyone be watching the movie for her acting ability?
Nevertheless, good point.
Also, there is a rumored Flash movie but what about Wonder Woman? She's too important as a character to not have her own movie.
This would make me very happy.

Just to let everyone know, I will be away without internet access all of next week. I left my upcoming pick with ravensdan. If I'm not back before the end of the next round, you have my permission to just skip my picks right off until I get back, so I don't hold things up.

Spring Breakers (2012). Alright who else has seen this insane film?
A part of me loves it and a part of me hates it (mostly because I hate Harmony Korine - yet I watch everything he puts out). The film is very stylish, nicely shot, and well edited. It isn't subtle, its over-the-top. I guess the best way to describe is a mix between Drive, Scarface, Girls Gone Wild, and Piranha (except without the Piranhas).
James Franco is far and away the best aspect of this film. I highly recommend watching it if you fall between the 18-35 Male demographic. Its probably not what you imagine from the marketing of this film. Girls, Guns, and fun.
That movie was one of the strangest indie movies I have ever seen. It was all about the loud, raucous fun of spring break, but the chill indie feel just made for a strange vibe.
Besides James Franco's brilliant performance, i wasn't a fan. I couldn't tell if it was simply an over-the-top sarcastic take on the revelry that is spring break, or if the movie actually took itself seriously. But Franco was brilliant. If this movie leads to more roles like this for him, then its a success.
Yeah. Those are my favorite guards. That's exactly why I'm not a big fan of Grubbs.
Makes good sense to me. Grubbs finesse style may make him a bit of a liability in my power blocking scheme, but I'm sure Peyton will appreciate his abilities.
I know Grubbs is a good player. I'm not denying that. I just don't like him. I'm just not a big fan of his.
He's not an aggressive player, he's a finesse player. I can understand why you don't like his style. I take it you like aggressive guards, like Yanda?

By that logic, maybe you take a guy like Mike Evans in the first, and then add a Jarvis Landry or a Rashad Greene type in the later rounds. Not that I would do that, but it seems like an option if you're up for double dipping at WR.
