'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.

      Which would be 8-8-1. An improvement.

      Not sure who you are talking to. Everybody maybe? Anyhow the family cat woke me up so….  Saturday, I will be in the playoff frame of mind for that game don’t worry about that. Will be living and dying on each play. Pretty sure everyone will be. That is still a few days away though.  Right now it is yes we made the playoffs. Backed into it with some convoluted 3 way tie breaking magic. It took a heroic finish - not by us, but by Atlanta. I don’t hardly know how to feel about it. I don’t feel like we won it. It is just sort of, well okay here we are, somehow. Our number came up. We were lucky. And that is what we were. Not good, lucky.  As far as here, this discussion, I think people rightly feel like, look at the offense. And it is kind of, what offense? They shut our run down and we become totally stagnant. Some people have faith that the QB can beat people with his arm but we aren’t doing it. We went into our bye off a big high. In or tied for, first place. We control our destiny. 4 games to do it. And we freaking finished 1-3. That control our destiny thing? We didn’t control poo when it comes down to it. Lost in the mix is basically a huge collapse. No one really called it out, it got lost in the excitement of the chase. But, 1-3 with the playoffs on the line - every week. Not inspiring. I mean, you don’t call that trending up, and if we hadn’t lucked into the tournament that would be our finish headed into the offseason. Not what you want. And if we don’t win Saturday? 1-4 to finish the year.  Limping out.  Okay that said I do hate going into playoffs on a winning streak because you are almost due to end the streak and that loss ends your season, so dropping One before the elimination games start is almost a comfort. But 1-3 with a 54 yard passing total in one of them? Followed by 14 points in a must win. Hmmm.   I am supposed to be optimistic? Sorry I don’t think I can be. I can hope, that’s different. It has just been a rough 8 years, and the excitement of having a winning record is in the rear view this week. About the only way we can have one is make the NFCCG I think.    Anyhow, on offense, where are the signs that we can beat people who stymie our run game? I suppose it could happen out of the blue but we haven’t really been able to pull that off.  Beating Tampa Bay was good. That was it though. Our other last little bit of glory is two plays on 4th down where they didn’t really pay attention in the back end, somehow, and we got two really nice results.  Not once, but twice back to back. Honestly it was so out of character it felt a little fluky.  And here we are, depending on that to happen Saturday. At least I guess is what we are hoping for. Good luck to us.

      Yeah that’s how I see the division currently and when I say repeatable I mean wins against teams like GB and the Rams, dominated performances like the first atl game  other playoffs teams we’ve faced we got blown out, team still doesn’t have an identity expect being inconsistent
