I realize from what I've read that I may be the only person who says this, but I actually like the new version better.

It looks gritty and somewhat realistic as opposed to cheesy like the Arnold version, and obviously Colin Farrell is a much better actor than Schwarzanegger.

The new total recall was entertaining but it didn't break any grounds nor did it make me want to watch it again. I felt like i got my moneys worth because to me its what total recall would have been if they had our type of CGI back then. plus having the girls with the three boobs helps as well very suckable.

does he pull anything out of his nose?

No. This time it's his hand.

I actually could have lived without her.

Gotta go to Mars for it really to be Total Recall.

Plus the original kinda left you thinking, was this the implanted memory? But in the remake, you know right away that it's "real" and not a memory.

They still dropped some hints, even at the end with the "Rekall" billboard, that it might be a dream.

I will grant there were parts of it that could have been better executed, but that's true of the original also.

The new one reminded me of movies like Surrogates or I Robot

Stylistic and overall, a just-above-average action flick with solid actors

The old one is a classic but I think its honestly a great story poorly executed. JAAF (Just Another Arnold Flick)

      So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.

      Reasonable. I mean I didn’t see a clear path to relief this season myself. As I have typed already, I think the QB FA class is more interesting next season and that draft is supposed to be stacked as well. There just weren’t many options this year.  When you have Tepper to contend with you have to tread lightly around this unless you are 100% certain and willIng to stake your job on it.   There were a couple of outings that helped Bryce a lot in terms of  thinking maybe he can do this, and if you are a supporter you are giving them a lot of weight. You are likely to think just get him some more help and he can do that every week. Which I think Tepper falls into that category.  And the playoffs, division champs, regardless of the way I see that, the supporters will also give that a lot of weight.    And the big one, the atmosphere In BOA for that WC game, Tepper had to be soiling himself over that. If you pulled Bryce out right now you had better be right and your new guy had better make the playoffs and look good doing it or you will be gone and your chance to build your old team back into respectability will be gone too.  So here we have Pickett on a one year deal, and Grier and King. I understand it.
