One of the parts I like the most about Bird Box, aside from the memes, is that the monsters can literally represent anything you want.  I've seen people use the monster metaphor to be social media, racism, whatever.  Super cool that people can put their own spin on it.

yes, I liked they didn't show the "monster". 

A lot of movies would have been better off IMO if they had not actually revealed the monster/alien or whatever as well.  I can name a lot of movies I really was enjoying until they showed the monster at the end.   The viewers imagination is often a better fit despite the viewers claiming they want to see it.

Glad they cut it out.   Looks like I Am Legend monsters.

imagine if you were the leader of the fx department for a production company. they task you to come up with a sculpt for a monster in this experimental movie starting sandra bullock. the biggest project of your entire career. then they cut your work from the final release of the film, and the film goes viral.

That would definitely suck.    But I think a movie like that is perfect not showing the monster.     I love "A Quiet Place" but not even sure they needed to show the monsters there either.

A Quiet Place was good but another movie with the ubiquitous preggo female.

      Monday practice tweets

      I know it's only been training camp and one preseason game, but I think T-Mac has already shown his floor to be exactly what I said about him in the pre-draft process. That his floor if he never improves his game, is as one of the best #2 WRs in the NFL, if not even still a low end #1 (i.e. a 25th-ish best WR in the league). I think it's safe to say he's already established himself as our #1, and there are only a small handful of teams in the league where I don't think he'd be their starting #2 WR in Week 1. Bengals (Higgins), Dolphins (Waddle), Eagles (Smith), Bucs (Godwin if healthy), Rams (Adams) are really the only teams where I think he'd be the #3 as a rookie in Week 1.  A few others like the Lions (Williams), Bears (Odunze), Seahawks (Kupp), Commanders (Deebo), where he'd be the 2b to start the season, just because they're vets and/or already have a year or two of experience with their team/QB. And even having said that, I think by year 2, he's better than every one of those players (And no, I'm not saying he's already going to be better than a prime version of Adams, just whatever he'll be at 33 next year), and same goes for Kupp, but that's more because it seems like his body might be quitting on him in a way that hasn't happened to Adams (yet).

      Well to be fair, Horn not practicing right now to let his stitches heal up from a car accident isn't something that should be concerning.  Sure, you don't want him missing practice leading into the season, but it's one that once healed, won't have lingering affects or fear of re-injuring it, it was just bad luck.

      Austin named starting center

      By UnluckyforSome · Posted

      Quality backups are absolutely important. This franchise has been plagued with depth problems. That said, there is a little bit of dismay that Mays can't beat out a 1-legged man, and all the talk going into the off-season was how BC would certainly be gone since he had position versatility.  In the end, it doesn't matter too awfully much, as I would be shocked to no end if Corbett makes it through the season. We know what we have in reserve, and that should surely be better than trying to sign random fat guys mid season to try and take over.
