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).

      Not Necessarily Panthers Related but....

      You might want to look at that table again.  Round 2 has the least QB's taken in that time period. What is more interesting is how the "darts at a dart board" happens in the 6th and 7th round. Those are the 2nd and 3rd most frequently drafted rounds for NFL QB's.  If you are strictly using my criteria for "success" it does lend credence to that not being an awful strategy. At 17-21% chance to get a bare minimum of 30+ starts OR a 5+ year career. That's pretty good for a very throwaway pick. I don't know how that would compare to other positions. I would maybe have to adapt what I have done to something like PFR's Career AV to set a line that accomplished roughly the same result as I have from the spreadsheet. If I can get to a number value, applying this to each position wouldn't be that hard. Not sure how "fair" that is without making some adjustment based on averages for each position. I would have to do that as well, I think. A positional "handicap" of sorts.

      Is Canales digging his own grave?

      While I agree he should have the opportunity to select his own qb, following that does he then get the standard 3 years? New regimes mean new qbs. No coach should tie his future to someone they didn't actually pick. For whatever reason, Canales has done just that. Whether it is being strong armed by Tepper, or overwhelming hubris that he could be successful with Young, it sure seems he has now made his bed.

      One of the benefits of doing a few stints as a coordinator is working under different head coaches and observing how they do things.  Canales has worked under Pete Caroll and then he was an OC for 1 season. Honestly I think he needs more time in the oven and he might be good at his next HC gig.  I'm not sure he's ready for this job and I don't know that he will ever be. But hey I hope I'm wrong.
