GI jane and onward.

i think gladiator is overrated (not bad mind you just overrated,) kingdom of heaven was a disaster (though i haven't seen the director's cut and i hear it's an entirely different film,) black hawk down's back end flat out sucks and american gangster was mediocre. Matchstick men, meh, hannibal and robin hood were terrible...

honestly, i just expect more out of him... Blade Runner and Alien are two of my favorite movies and I think Legend and Thelma and Louise are great. White Squall is pretty good too. Maybe my expectations are too high but I just kinda feel like he's been mailing it in for the last 12 years or so.

that's not to say I'm not really excited about prometheus... I am.

Do want. As much as I am excited about this as marking the return of Ridley Scott, I am more excited about the potential of this giving a much needed jolt of vigor and new life to the Sci-Fi genre.

Avatar is the biggest sci-fi movie in recent memory? Really?

Tech finally seems to be at the point that special effects are capable of creating really immersive Sci-Fi worlds. Ill add Avatar to the list of greats if its the leading edge of a new Sci Fi revival.

I won't. Avatar was the height of style over substance. Being unable to see 3-D myself, I attempted to watch it for story structure, originality, plot, character development, etc. Fugging painful. It was basically Aliens redone with computer generated special effects. Aliens was the only substantive thing Cameron ever did in his career, and that's just because he was riding Scott's coat tails.

What? That makes absolutly no sense.

And you’re missing my point. Cameron's work, while insipid & banal, opened Hollywood’s eyes to the fact that they could spend a ton of money on hard Sci-Fi and people would still pay to see it. For that fact alone it deserves credit. And if it proves to be the point at which Hollywood started making more original and real Sci-Fi then I’ll gladly give credit where its due.

      Jalon Walker not looking like a bust? That can't be right.

      To be fair. Our GM is the assistent of the worst GM in NFL history.  We pay trillions of dollars on the Oline and cant pass protect or run.  We pay trllions of dollars on the D-dine and cant pass rush.  We cant draft. We are a bad team. With a bad owner and really bad management.

      Game Observations

      Stud: WR Tetairoa McMillan In the midst of all the incompetence and mediocrity, there's one shining hope for the future of this franchise. Rookie wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan led the team with six catches and 100 receiving yards. He also had an extremely impressive one-handed catch wiped out becaue he couldn't quite stay in-bounds. McMillan is a bit slower, but there are flashes of some Julio Jones in his game. His route running and YAC ability are both far better than they were advertised coming out of the draft.   Or, you know, exactly what anyone who watched enough of his tape would have known.   Honestly, our Arizona board could never understand this knock on him in the pre-draft process, because we all knew it wasn't true.  And sure, we're fans who watched all his games, but you'd think the experts who supposedly watch all the snaps of these type of prospects would have been seeing it too, it was glaringly obvious to us. Seriously, how many times did I say here that he could run every route needed?  How many times did I talk about his surprisingly good run after catch ability for someone his size?  How he wasn't a burner, but he was amazingly smooth for a 6'5" WR? As I've said, only 2 players from Arizona, both football and basketball, have I ever felt they were 1 million percent can't miss stars in the pros.  T-Mac and Gronkowski, that's it.  One is the greatest TE in NFL history, the other is about to take Smitty's mantle as the Panthers WR GOAT when all is said and done.
