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.

      Five wins this season.........maybe?

      By hepcat · Posted

      I think the absolute ceiling is 5 with Bryce. I’m expecting 3. They will absolutely beat the Saints at least once, maybe twice.

      Ejiro evero likely to be fired Monday

      The offense made a turnover that resulted in a TD. You take that TD off the board and this would have been an entirely different game. I think Evero has the same problems that Canales has. I think they are both handcuffed to some degree due to a talent deficiency on their side of the ball. Canales doesn't have a QB capable of running his scheme. Evero doesn't have enough talent on his side to be effective in his scheme. Our highest paid d-lineman is a good run defender but contributes little to our pass rush. None of LBs would start on a contending team. Our current starting  safeties don't make impact plays. Only 2 of our 11 starters (Brown, Horn) have to be accounted for on each play. Some of this may still be their fault. It appears both have lobbied for players (via FA or the draft)who haven't contributed much. They seem hesitant to play their younger players or remain loyal to guys who just don't produce when they are on the field. As bad as this team is, you'd think they'd be dedicated to getting the young guys on the field as much as possible. Wasting #1 picks on Young and Legette and questionable selections on the defensive side of the ball has set this team back for years.

      I think we saw exactly who Bryce Young is on the final drive of the game.
