'The Help'

My grandmother had been begging me to see this movie with her as soon as the first preview came out. And I wasn't exactly thrilled going in. And of course there were lots of women and very few men. All that said, I was shocked at how good that movie was. I laughed my ass off on more than a few occasions. It really hit close to home because my grandmother was raised by her own grandmother who was a maid herself. She still carries some 'resentment' of sorts because of that, and doesn't exactly think about race the same way I do.

But anyway, I really thought it was well done. Could have done without the 'fried chicken' (if you see the movie, you'll know), but its a part of the culture and times, so whatever. Make me describe it in 3 words- Inspirational, heart-warming, and fun. Violas Davis did one HELL of a job in her role. Very under-rate actress. I give it a B+ (maybe an A- im no movie critic).

PS...Emma Stone....:drool5:

I remember my grandma and my mom for a little while both had big ass cans of lard in the kitchen. My grandma has since passes on (damn pancreatic cancer) and my mom has started cooking healthier.

I thought the Help was based on a true story when I first saw the trailer but the more I read about it the more I didn't really want to see it but I've heard nothing but good things about it.

I left out an actress, Octavia Spencer's facial expressions throughout the film were hilarious. She provided a lot of comedic relieve throughout. She had some good dramatic scenes too, but her parts were the ones that had me laughing. I believe I've seen her in a few other films, but nothing with a major part. Could be a big breakout film for him.

      The Dowdle Mirage - Play Calling Problems

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      The entire OP is about the play calling and results and only mentioned T-Mac one time, in the sense of our offensive struggles only made me more frustrated about our #1 WR only getting a single 2nd half target in a game we were behind for the majority of it. How is that showing my true colors? It's way more of other people reading too much into it and thinking this is all and only about T-Mac for me, but it's not.  He just happens to be the player that I specifically was upset by his 2nd half usage, but it had nothing to do with my personal feelings towards him, but that he's our only legitimate WR and he had a single target in the 2nd half after going for 73 yards in the first. To me, that is a very legitimate play calling gripe, the win or particular player aside.

      Any well functioning team benches Bryce

      By Achilles · Posted

      We’re stuck with Bryce for now.  He led TWO drives where we came from behind to take the lead. One of them was the winning drive and he threw the winning TD. Taken as a whole…he played at expectation after the 1st quarter. That’s not so bad under the circumstances.  We got the win. Maybe they’ll struggle to build on it but a win is a win. He drove the offense down and took the lead when it was needed. You can’t take that away from him.    We’re not changing QBs anytime soon.  Or owners.  So…when they win, we should take it at face value and give credit where it’s due.  Bryce came up big in clutch moments. You can’t take that away from him.
