Hurt Locker nominated for Best Picture...

By far the best Iraq War movie made.

Best actor, director, screenplay, and picture.

It has more suspense than any movie I have ever seen.

ON a relatively small budget, little if any CGI, I am hoping it wins over Cameron's Avatar. Interesting note, the Hurt Locker was directed by Cameron's ex-wife, only the 4th time a woman has been nominated for best director.

If you have not seen this movie, do so.

10 allows movies that most people have actually seen be nominated so the TV show is going to be more appealing to the masses. Ratings is what they are after. The outcome won't change.

Maybe. I think the general public has so much disdain for Hollywood. But, giant epics like Avatar may pull more viewers in like Titanic did in 97.

Movie was average. The best actor in the movie died in the first scene.

Son and I watched it a couple of weeks ago and I thought the same thing. I love movies like that but it there was nothing about it that made it really stand out from anything else to me. A good movie, but nothing special. Maybe I missed something. As far as Irag war movies, I actually like Three Kings with Ice Cube in it more.

Hurt locker was brilliant in its simplicity and realism. No politics. No outlandish gun fights. You are just transported and shown as best that can be shown what it must feel like to be one of those men, and the shit they really do have to deal with.

All it was missing was a Bon Jovi soundtrack

So you have honestly never seen a more suspenseful movie than Hurt Locker? I find that hard to believe. How about a movie that is actually in the "suspense" genre? On the suspense scale it might be a 3 out of 10 (yes there is a suspense scale).

Valkyrie was more suspenseful than the Hurt Locker and everyone knew that they weren't going to actually suceed in killing Hitler!

I am not bashing the movie, because it was worth watching but calling it the most suspenseful movie you have ever seen is a biiiiiiig stretch. (although I suppose this may only be the 4th or 5th movie you have ever watched I suppose).

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      Such a dumb pick and most of us knew it Ladd would’ve been the perfect match with Bryce But instead they draft XL to fill the void at the X spot because we had a 34 year old Adam Thielen. Then a year later we draft a real X WR and move XL inside where he has absolutely no business being for a list of reasons

      If you can only fire ONE person before 2026....

      My logic was hopefully a new HC would have a LOT quicker hook for Bryce. But, that is assuming they would even be allowed. I guess that's a call to the owner's box for permission.

      I’m not overly defending the pick. I was team Stroud by a country mile but I also knew what to expect as far as ceiling goes with Bryce  I had concerns with Bryce’s arm strength and size. Neither seem to overly be an issue. He’s proven to throw with enough anticipation that he makes up for a lack of velocity. I was worried about the way he played in college not translating to the league. Spending 8 seconds behind LOS. I did also think it would take Young a few years for him to reach his full potential. I also think he’s too smart and accurate to flat out bust which all of seems to be pretty accurate Bryce is someone you can absolutely win with. No one thought he’d be the type to carry a well below average supporting cast to a Super Bowl. He’s fully capable of giving you those 4-5 special plays a game that help your team win. And then you have those rare times where he’s the reason you win like in Atlanta.  All good teams have more than just a QB.  Even the teams that are winning this year all have a lot more than what we have. Supporting cast/defense… more than what we have  As far as Morgan goes I 100% agree. Fwiw he was legit team Bryce during the draft process. I know that for a fact. Last years draft is a complete write off. This past draft still up for debate. TMac and Scourton look solid. I can’t remember the last time I saw Princely win a rep and I’m being honest. Ransom has a little value. I think ETN is a nice insurance add. Evans could be a TE2.    I think this offseason Morgan will get aggressive with trying to land a pass rusher. Whether that’s a trade for Crosby, signing Hendrickson, it’s going to be top priority. We need a ILB. I really like Kaden Ellis. Sonny Styles should be in our draft range. We also need a tight end and it would be interesting to see this offseason with Kenyon Sadiq
