The Big Lebowski - was not impressed.. i can understand why people like it but i thought it was very Meh.. John Goodman was crazy in that movie, holy poo..

 

The Grand Budapest Hotel - funny and cute, so different from a lot of stuff out there right now.. loved it.. it wasn't top 10 or even top 100 for that matter, but a good watch nonetheless..

 

Big Hero 6 - saw it in theaters with my son and was crying throughout the whole movie- even the little short film in the beginning with the little dog has me tearing up.. but just got it on redbox so my daughter could see it too.. just as good as before, not as many tears this time but still a great watch with the kids on a rainy afternoon..

 

Lost Boys - omg, i feel asleep during that poo.. I went in knowing is it a 'classic' - but i have a theory that if you go back and watch a 'classic' that you didnt see during the time it came out - it usually just is a meh movie.. with all the vampire movies we have seen since the Lost Boys came out (Interview w/Vampire, all the Blade movies, Van Helsing, 40 days of night, etc.) going back and watching this vampire flick just didnt do it for me..

 

anyone care to give me their opinion on these movies?

The fact you liked The Grand Budapest Hotel, yet did not like lost boys makes my head hurt trying to understand this.

 

like i said, i think it is because i missed it when it came out and just got around to it like a month ago.. compared to all the Vampire/Zombie/Apocalypse movies we have seen today- Lost Boy was pretty tame and took a while to get going.. I fell asleep

Lebowski is super nuanced from a stoners perspective.

But cwg is right. Multiple viewings uncovers much more.

I liked Lost Boys. Not a fav but good. 2.5 stars.

Anything by Wes Anderson is tops for me. Back to the stoner perspective. He takes specificity to such a high level that you can't help but love that.

His work reminds me of National Geographic pull outs of cross sections of a ship or an island.

He has never made a bad film imo.

Lebowski needs more than one watching to appreciate, and the plot is irrelevant - it's about the performances and the vibe not the story. But that's not everyone's cup of tea. It's kind of an art film for guys.

Yup. I think it's amazing.

    • Games been a snooze fest of sloppy play
    • ESPN's David Newton: QUARTERBACKS (2): Bryce Young, Andy Dalton A preseason muscle injury to Dalton's right arm could force the Panthers to keep Jack Plummer if the issue gets worse, but that currently doesn't seem to be a concern. For the first time since going No. 1 in 2023, there is no question that Young is the starter after winning two of his final three games last season with 10 touchdowns (7 passing, 3 rushing) and no turnovers. RUNNING BACKS (3): Chuba Hubbard, Rico Dowdle, Trevor Etienne Selecting Etienne in the fourth round out of Georgia makes veteran Raheem Blackshear a likely cut. Etienne has shown in the preseason that he is a capable option as a runner, in addition to being a returner, which has been Blackshear's primary responsibility since 2022. WIDE RECEIVERS (7): Tetairoa McMillan, Xavier Legette, Adam Thielen, Jalen Coker, Jimmy Horn Jr., David Moore, Hunter Renfrow This is the most improved group on the team, so keeping seven initially makes sense. If the Panthers go with six it could make coach Dave Canales' favorite, Moore, expendable with Renfrow showing he's close to the level he played in 2021 when he made the Pro Bowl with the Las Vegas Raiders. Brycen Tremayne, who's had an excellent preseason, will be a tough cut. TIGHT ENDS (3): Tommy Tremble, Ja'Tavion Sanders, Mitchell Evans There is anticipation Tremble (back surgery) will be ready for the regular season after coming off the PUP list before the preseason finale, though he could still miss a game or two. Keeping him on the 53-man roster makes sense so she doesn't have to miss the first four games. OFFENSIVE LINEMEN (10): T Ikem Ekwonu, G Damien Lewis, G Robert Hunt, C Austin Corbett, C Cade Mays, T Taylor Moton, T Yosh Nijman, T-G Brady Christensen, G Chandler Zavala, G Jarrett Kingston Injuries to guards Lewis (strained shoulder) and Zavala (knee) plays a factor in keeping 10 instead of the nine predicted going into camp. The starting five returning from 2024 had a solid preseason, but the lackluster play of backups showed depth remains a concern. DEFENSIVE LINEMEN (6): DE Derrick Brown, NT Bobby Brown III, DE Tershawn Wharton, DE A'Shawn Robinson, NT Cam Jackson , DE Jaden Crumedy A shoulder injury that has kept fifth-round pick Jackson from making an impact means Crumedy could make it here. The biggest cut will be Shy Tuttle, who has 32 starts the past two years but little to show for it. Moving on from him will create $2.4 million in cap space that can be used elsewhere. LINEBACKERS (10): OLB D.J. Wonnum, OLB Patrick Jones II, OLB Princely Umanmielen, OLB Nic Scourton, OLB Thomas Incoom, ILB Christian Rozeboom, ILB Trevin Wallace, ILB Claudin Cherelus, ILB Jon Rhattigan, ILB Jacoby Windmon The release of ILB Josey Jewell (concussion protocol) at the start of camp required immediate attention, but Rozeboom has stepped up well. Depth remains a big question, particularly inside. Moving on from draft pick Bam Martin-Scott means he'll likely end up on the practice squad. It was time to move on from OLB DJ Johnson. Look for turnover beyond the starters here. CORNERBACKS (5): Jaycee Horn, Mike Jackson, Chau Smith-Wade, Shemar Bartholomew, Corey ThorntonJackson has played well enough at times to ease the concern opposite Pro Bowler Horn. Thorton's play during camp has been a big surprise, but the overall depth of this group means there likely will be turnover. SAFETIES (4): Tre'von Moehrig, Nick Scott, Demani Richardson, Lathan Ransom The big question is how long it will take fourth-round pick Ransom to replace Scott as the starter opposite Moehrig. Also, don't rule out another experienced player being signed. SPECIALISTS (3): K Ryan Fitzgerald, P Sam Martin, LS JJ Jansen Big-legged undrafted free agent Fitzgerald out of Florida State may have solidified his spot over Matthew Wright with a 52-yard field goal in the second preseason game against the Texans. The other two spots are solid, but Carolina likely will keep an eye out for dependable veterans who end up being released.
