'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.

      Why is it a no-brainer? I mean the idea of a hold out made me laugh out loud.

      Oh, oh. I see what you are saying. Yeah but not all of those were draft for draft replacements. Jones was a dumpster dive. The overall point I was making is that it is becoming more common to see this quick pivots as people realize their mistakes. It happens with a lot of busts historically at QB.  IDK about "most teams" have fast, capable WR's. It's a mixed bag across the league. There are the Hopkins, Evans, etc that aren't sub-4.5 guys and are still star players.

      So if it comes down to that, and it played out, we could be looking at a post June 1 designation for his 5th year money at best. Assuming it is guaranteed which I don’t know.     13.25 mil cap hit in 2027 and 2028.   I have to admit I never really went into the angles after picking up the option. I have always been don’t do it.    So, you pay him the 12 mil for year 4 and if you want out when they go into extension lobbying you trade or cut.  Is that conceivable?   The thing about trading is, I believe all the guaranteed money hits your cap right then. That’s 26.5 million if correct.  So if they picked up the 5th, this would cover the ‘we want out’ expenses from our end, after year 4.   Correct?
