We watched Monday night... I had gotten it, along with Beasts of the Southern Wild (GREAT MOVIE), Amazing Spiderman, and Ted from Redbox on Sunday...

I liked it... The slower parts were kind of slow, and I knew (kind of) how it would end SPOILER TO FOLLOW:

I thought Bruce Willis was going to kill the Rainmaker's mom and JGL was going to kill BW... basically justifying the future hate that led the Rainmaker to start killing off all the Loopers, pretty much making the entire movie pointless because things would just have the same future despite all the efforts to save the kid. I guess I should have saw through that and realized that they'd make JGL go all hero to save the day...

I picked up on a lot of Terminator feel to this movie, but I'd give it a 7/10...

If you liked this and haven't already seen it, check out the movie In Time...

Was In Time the Justin Timberlake movie?

If so, I was also seriously disappointed with that one. Time travel is a very touchy concept and you have to close all the gaps for the audience. That's why Terminator and Back to the Future were so awesome, they did it pretty masterfully.

With In Time, it's been awhile since I saw it, but again, it started off with a great premise and it seemed like it just got bogged down in details the further along it went. It felt like it went off the rails once they started turning into "time Robin Hoods," lol, at least for me.

yeah it was Timberlake...

It wasn't really about time travel at all... People stopped aging at 25, and any time they lived after that was based on the amount of time they earned or received from others. Time was basically the currency, and the rich could live for millions of years if they wanted (while remaining their 25 year old self).

Oh, I didn't mean to lump that in with time travel... My bad, I was still thinking about Looper.

As far as In Time, yeah, like I said, I really liked the premise... I just feel like they got lost in the details and then things lost their meaning once he turned Bonnie and Clyde with the big wig's daughter.

I will also say, I have no idea how JT didn't impregnate his own mother at the beginning. She was HAWT, and I was angry when she died, lol.

      The "now it's been three years" Grade for the 2023 Draft

      By Steves89 · Posted

      Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
