Super 8

Another winner.

I think we've seen enough from JJ Abrams to officially call him a genius.

Now Cloverfield is my 2nd favorite movie of all time and IMHO Super 8 was a prequel to Cloverfield. There are a poo load of similarities.

Aside from trying to depict everything, this movie was fuging amazing.

Coach Taylor, I mean Kyle Chandler was awesome and the kid actors were really good and funny.

Highly recommended.

Don't get me wrong I do really think Abrams is a genius, and I really did love Cloverfield. Having said that I would not put it any where near the top 25 or maybe even 50 movies of all time. I would not even put it at the top of Abrams list of work.

I do want to see this, but with all the great movies this summer it will be one that I download to watch. I just cant pay $20 every week to go see a movie.

    • Word is that Lawrence showed up and weighed in at nearly 400 pounds for his Bengals medical check. I'd find a reason to fail him. Blood type tested as bacon grease. Fail. We've all seen what happens when a dominant huge, explosive DT can't manage his weight. You're gonna age like milk. Looking like Kris Jenkins 2.0.
    • Hard to interpret some of Brugler's opinions. Capable of running a robust route tree sounds like a lazy thing to say - I'm sure just about every slot TE is capable of running a full route tree... I want to know if he is currently able to (which from tape leads me to a no). Granted, it's pretty common for most receivers/TE not having a full route tree developed before they get drafted. Agility/acceleration after the catch hasn't shown up on his tape (at least his Oregon tape) for those dig/out breaking routes while it has for the seam and slant routes. Agree he has a good physical build and he is very good running seam routes. His build definitely helps him to shield defenders and create a large target point for the QB. Drops were a concern, but it could be focus drops just like T-Mac was/is prone to. Run blocking is an accurate statement, but again, we have only seen him run block in the slot/backfield - inline blocking is a whole different animal. With his athleticism, he definitely has a high ceiling. I just think he also has a low floor and don't like taking that big of a risk on a mid 1st rounder. I think this is a deep TE draft and would much rather target one in the 3rd or later. He's very boom or bust to me - bust in terms of being worth a 1st round pick, not an out of the NFL in a few years type bust. I feel like he gives me Evan Engram vibes. Not saying that Evan Engram was/is a bad NFL player, just that most people would agree he shouldn't have been drafted in the 1st.
