Damn, I'm still waiting for another good Scarlett Johansson movie...  little help?

 

Lucy? Chef? Under the Skin?

 

Any of these worth watching?

 

Under the Skin is very David Lynch-esque and artsy... but I liked it...

Lucy is okay for an action flick or whatever, but the science behind it and all is pretty bad... I was unimpressed...

Reviews are starting to rocket up now that the "regular" folk and normal review sites are starting to see it rather than the high brow/high horse sites who don't have much of an affinity for the genre as a whole who were previously churning out reviews.

My biggest regret was seeing it a late as I did. Will never do that again. The only midnight premieres I had ever gone to before that were the ones that happened a few hours before midnight. At true midnight screenings you get the chummy part of society that couldn't care about everyone else's experience. Had guys literally smoking dope and laughing it up in the theater. Not to mention that watching such a fast paced movie at 2 am is a task in itself. Shame it held the movie I've been waiting to see so long back some, but oh well. Lesson learned. Still planning on catching a more peaceful viewing when I get some time next week.

I still can't believe Marvel is going down the road they are. Those who have seen it know what I mean. Very bold. Think it will pan out too.

No scene will ever top seeing a talking raccoon firing a machinegun riding a walking tree while laughing maniacally.

The part when rocket gets the gun cocks and just say "oh...yeah" was amazing for me. Plus the perfect writing and story line guardians had.

I liked it, don't really see what people were really complaining about. I do think a few of the jokes were not timed well and therefore not funny, but overall it was good. As good as Avengers 1? No, but still good.

Movie was awesome. I am a huge fan of this genre and have read the comics and still thought it ruled. Ultron was Stark in AI form and his bad side. It makes sense to have witty jokes here and there.  Ultron wasn't as physically intimidating as Winter Soldier or as funny as Loki but he was a good mix of both.

Hopefully this difference of opinion won't cause trouble between Tony and Steve.

Anyone else like what Falcon said on where he's been?

      2026 NFL Combine Thread: 2.26.26 - 3.1.26

      Ok--I have seen some sample items, and I would like to see something (if possible) measures on field intelligence--maybe how quickly you can grasp a playbook or absorb film session adjustments...Back when we had Morrison as team president and Hurney as GM, I offered to assess (as part of my research in education requirement at a University) emotional intelligence and learning styles of players to help coaches teach more effectively.  Morrison loved it and contacted me about it.  Hurney was not interested, and it fell through the cracks.  My pitch?  If only 50% of first-rounders become successful NFL players and that number drops significantly, can you tell me that you are effectively measuring talent?  Morrison thought it was a good point and wanted to do something that might improve long-term success rates--that would impact the cap management, etc.  Marty, according to Morrison, said he was not interested at this time and if so, he would want a football guy to do it.  (I told Morrison that I played in college and Hurney, a sports reporter at one time, did not. He told me that Hurney played as a Guard in college--who knew?) Any way, about that time, Morrison left (2017) and the idea was dropped.  I reached back out a year later or so to Marty was still not interested.  A few days later, his wife accused him of assault or something, so I dropped it.

      Pretty sure they still do the Wonderlic they just don't publicly release the scores.

      I just thought he was under the radar--but thanks for opening our eyes to him.  I think we should have better measures for intelligence--such as reaction time, angles, etc. Legette is raw as heck, for example, and his RAS was very high.  We used to do the Wonderlic (which was not great) but to know how effectively a player makes on field decisions would be great.
