Phil, thank you.  I think you might have found your calling. 

Giving credit where it is due.  Top to bottom, you did a f.u.king awsome job.  Loved your hospitality and insight throughout the night.  The cast was humble and pleasant to talk to as well as yourself.  Glad to finally meet the legend that it is PhillyB.  Mad respect sir.  

My dad is very opinionated and a harsh critic, you had him floored.  He really dove into the script on the way home and I could tell it hit him hard, in a good way.  He didn't get drafted but his friends and our immediate family did. 

It was a genuinely great time with friends, family and new peeps!

Again, thank you.

I'm not here to critique the movie itself, but I will say that:

 

while watching it, I noted that it was far more entertaining and interesting than anything on the Lifetime Network my wife watches

I was genuinely interested in what was going to happen to the characters next, more than whatever odd plot point or production thing that was on my mind at the time. There were some well acted scenes in the movie.  The story itself seems to be a good candidate for a larger production with more script polishing; there are solid themes to explore.

Just finishing a movie and making it into something resembling an actual story other people can follow is an accomplishment. Making something that long, with the logistics involved with a war story, on that budget and no large scale support is a big deal. What a terrific experience for Phil going forward, if you can make a freaking Vietnam war movie on your own you can probably do anything.

For your next movie I humbly suggest a documentary on SCPs toilet travels.

      I really fuging hate this era in so many ways.  I look at those Adin Ross and Neon kids, and I just wonder why tf are they famous?  Why would anyone be desperate enough to gain THAT audience that they’d risk money, career, disciplinary action to go up there and associate with those fuging dweebs?  And back in my day, racist peers got their ass beat.  And not endorsing or approving bully culture, but checks and balances and all…  had those two been bullied, or at the very least humbled, they wouldn’t be famous and glorified for being the fuging idiots they are now.  It seriously pisses me off… they both have done and said multiple, openly racist stuff and major media keeps pushing them, talking about them, and propping them up… and then dummies like Puka who don’t need the platform or exposure lend their celebrity to them.  fuging idiot… and even the other streamers, I don’t get - Speed, Kai…  I don’t understand making nobodies famous at all, but there is at least entertainment value to some degree there, and I could see how young, impressionable kids would find them something to aspire to (sadly), or view as “cool.”  But Ross and Neon?  They’re just shitty, shitty nerds with big ass mouths. I’ve went back recently and watched some classics (in two very different eras and categories 😂)  like Robocop and Idiocracy.  And what I find fascinating is how both movies illustrate how stupid society became by showing what the citizenry is entertained by.  In both, society became anti-intellectual and the citizenry were entertained by lowest denominator, primal-type absurdity - poo like, “Ouch! My Balls!”  Or on Robocop, a guy is a watching a show where they are smashing cakes on ladies’ breasts and then a guy says a line as the camera zooms in like, “I’d buy that for a dollar!” and the audience thinks it’s hilarious.  That’s where I feel like we are now.  Like who watches that clip with Puka and thinks any of that poo is funny or cool?  If I was Puka, I’d honestly be wondering why tf I’m hanging out with these beta ass, racist, cretin ass weirdos.

      This Bryce Guy (General BY Discussion)

      Should definitely look to trade him in the offseason. Some team will fork over draft picks thinking they can turn his career around, especially considering what happened to Mayfield and Darnold after they left here. I think a lot of people will be surprised at how high of a pick he would fetch too. There's a dozen guys you could bring in to match (or exceed) Bryce's production for 1/10th of what his 5th year option is going to cost. Let some other dumb team pay that (and ship us draft picks for the privilege). Dump Dalton too while you're at it, start the QB room over from scratch.
