  1. No we aren't getting Mike Evan's far to slow, we need a fast playmaking receiver, quick slot receivers can be found in later rounds 

     

    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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

  6. 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.

  7. 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.

  8. 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.

  9. "(whispers) spring...breeaak.........spring....breeaak"

     

    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.
