Downloaded some blu ray h264 rip from BTjunkie and watched it on my PS3. Movie was intense. I'm a bit late seeing it but it was worth traveling back in time for. The cinematography works in this film. It really makes you feel your a part of the event and the actors do a good enough job of selling the situations. Also the special effects are good enough as well. This movie just worked, good job by the staff and I recommend it if any of you haven't seen it.

Cloverfield was great, it was a either LIKE or HATE movie though. I liked it, but I thought I wouldn't, usually not liking viral things, etc like that.

District 9 is one of the top 10 sci-fi films ever, not really in the same group as Cloverfield.

I agree about the characters. They didn't establish them very well, but I don't think they wanted to get the audience attached. The premise of the movie was that the tapes were found by the government, and we were just watching what was found. It was meant to be more "realistic" than emotionally driven. That's why everyone just died.

      Going from the 32nd to 27th ranked QB is a huge achievement indeed.

      Bryce Young is the first Panthers QB to throw for 20+ touchdowns in a season since Cam Newton in 2018.

      I do expect the offense to fall back to earth next year if everything stays the same.  It is kinda like how the Panthers and even now the Chiefs won in the past.  Winning many close, coin flip games.  It never lasts from season to season usually.

      I'm sold on the NFL being fixed.

      Biased is one way of putting it. The NFL is an entertainment product in the strictest legal sense. Although I might yell it out on game days, I do not believe the games are outright “rigged” meaning there is one team that is going to win no matter what happens. It’s impossible. There’s too much variance in the game that can prevent a truly rigged game from happening unless there was cooperation from many parties involved. What I am thoroughly convinced happens is that the NFL and referees “manage” the games towards certain outcomes. And that is done primarily through referee crew choice however I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s more going on behind the curtain.  The NFL uses the officials statistical tendencies to call penalties is to keep games close to drive user engagement. For example, If a crew tends to call more false start penalties, and there’s a game between a heavy pass offense where the NFL would like to manufacture a close game where it might have potential to be a blowout, then they’ll assign a crew that will slow that offense down and keep the game close.  There is an insane amount of marketing and now sports betting money that is married to the NFL economic ecosystem. To think this whole system is fair when the referee union has no outward accountability structure for poor performance is just naive. It’s closer to the WWE than outward appearances suggest, but it’s not a fully scripted outcome either. So for those who say “stop watching” if you don’t want to watch a “rigged” game, it’s an entertainment product. You can still be entertained by it, even if it’s not as fair as a truly merit based sporting event.
