FTR, I thought Philly was an ass for his inability to keep TB topics in the TB but my comment was just laughing at the irony. I honestly don't have a problem with Philly personally. 

He got banned because he pissed off Igo. No other mod was involved in that.

Well, it's true, the reporter asked how we met and it was through here many years ago.  I had no idea he was going to drop the Carolina Huddle name and link in the article.  He's a good dude but not everyone thinks the same and that's fine.

People who met him in person know he’s a good dude.

This site is so much better without GJBC and Philly. Two hotheads who just because they felt they had right on their side they could be absolutely horrible to other people. THAT said, if you want a good laugh, go read the critics reviews of this movie on RT.

The LA times is often spot on.

‘Condor’s Nest’

Unlike horror films, crime pictures, action-thrillers and even westerns, war movies aren’t a common genre for lower-budget productions anymore — perhaps because it’s hard to stage armed combat on the cheap. But with 2019’s “Point Man” and now “Condor’s Nest,” writer-director Phil Blattenberger has been trying to bring the stripped-down, two-fisted war movie back by eschewing an epic scale and instead telling character-driven tales with pulpy overtones.

In “Condor’s Nest,” Jacob Keohane plays Will Spalding, a World War II vet who has spent the decade since the war tracking the Nazi officer who cruelly exterminated Spalding’s bomber crew. In the process, he violently pushes away potential allies while striking deals with the morally shady, until finally he finds a secret Nazi stronghold in South America, which he tries to reach with the help of a Mossad agent (Corinne Britti) and a fugitive German scientist (Al Pagano).

The lack of explosive action hinders “Condor’s Nest,” as does the reliance on spare, nondescript locations like bars, offices and open fields. But Blattenberger can write punchy dialogue; he also wisely spends some of his money on ace character actors Michael Ironside, James Urbaniak, Jorge Garcia and Bruce Davison, each of whom pops up for a memorable scene or two. There’s a little bit of a boys playing war quality to this film, but that ultimately may prove more endearing than cheesy, especially for viewers who grew up reading old “Frontline Combat” and “Sgt. Rock” comics.

Going to catch this on VOD soon - as the critic says low budget war films are not really a thing.  Sounds like Phil did good with a small budget.  Likely will lead him to bigger projects.

Sounds like you have a want to trash him and are digging into what because Roger at Movie Nation and Kelly at East bay Express had to say.  Really a pathetic attempt at a dig.

So what you're saying is the reviewer at the LA Times knows more and is more qualified to give their opinion than others are? Ok.

And no dig, I don't like Phil. He's not a nice person.

He is a very good guy in real life.  He would take shirt of his back.  He does get heated and especially if he don’t like you.

    • His tendency to body catch makes him a project alone. I'm not grading everyone else on the first 2 games, that was about Bryce and this teams past mistakes. He was always a project compared to the other guys they could have drafted who were much more NFL ready. What was the stat, good WRs produce immediately now and don't really have a slump? He looks closer to Mingo and TMJ then the guys doing well now in his draft class. He is a project and always was. Hopefully he can become an Evens but he looks more like our regular 2nd round WRs and that's not good. And the GM was part of the failed staff last year so no passes on that either. If Dan would have come out and drafted like Fritters wasn't still here anymore then I would give him one but it's way too similar for me. DC wants to pass when he needs to run so it's not like he isn't comparable to the past failures either. His expensive oline is falling apart also. He has all year to prove himself but nothing but benching Bryce looks good yet. It's early but there are plenty of earned criticisms.
    • What type of vapes are you talking about? I don't smoke at all anymore but I don't use the prepackaged vapes either. It's all dry herb vaporizers for me these days. I'd be very cautious leaving the rez with anything. The surrounding doughnut eaters will lose interest fast but decent chance it's still pretty too of mind.
