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.

      The running back situation....

      By strato · Posted

      okay I found this and it sounds like my hopes for the first surgery being not such a great job seems like it could be actual reality.  I only hoped because that would give a better chance for recovery and ia a possible scenario so I just thought it could be possible. Had no real evidence of it. But I’ll be damned.    This is a detailed report of Brooks’ surgery and the condition of his knee after the failed repair.     https://x.com/jmthrivept/status/2055743129408704806?s= Sparked by some very good questions by @CoachspeakIndex, here’s some info on Jonathon Brooks: 1. Speculation that the first graft/ACLR by Dr. Cooper didn’t “take” or at least was too lax, leading to failure and re-tear. Brooks dealt with issues cutting, progressing in his rehab into the early stages of 2024 and then re-tore it late 2024, requiring a second ACLR in January 2025 (essentially revision). Notably, CAR prolonged Brooks’ rehab process through Sept-Oct due to issues progressing into the next stages of rehab. 2. Second surgery performed by Dr. Neal ElAttrache, who has extensive experience with revisions. He did a double bundle technique, harvesting graft from Brooks’ left patellar tendon and a strip of his right IT Band (his right patellar tendon had been utilized for the prior graft in 2023. The double bundle technique significantly increases rotational stability of the knee, leading to a stronger and more secure graft/reconstruction. Also to note, Brooks’ surgery wasn’t significantly delayed, meaning that the tunnels from his prior ACLR were in good shape and they didn’t need to perform bone grafts to fill in (would have delayed 2nd surgery by 5-6 months). Essentially, reading the tea leaves tells me that everything else except for the graft itself was still in good quality within his knee. Good sign for future.  3. Typically, you see a performance increase anywhere from 16-20 months post-revision. Brooks will be ~21 months out from his second surgery by the time Week 1 hits. His knee should be more stable and stronger this time around, with adequate time for healing and return to all movement patterns. I’m not viewing this situation as a typical “Player __ had TWO ACL tears, he’s cooked” situation. Rather, I’m viewing it as the first procedure failed, but the second procedure is significantly stronger and should allow him to return to form this time around. I don’t know why it posted as a link but there it is.
