Ok so I don't know if this should go in the Tinderbox or here, but for those who haven't seen this movie don't look below at the video i'm about to post. If you haven't seen it, definitely check it out. It's from the writer/directer of the Jesse James movie with Brad Pitt, another fantastic movie.  I expect a lot of people haven't seen this movie, but for those that have it would be great to hear your opinion. Tonight was the second time i rented it in the last week.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The parts i'm talking about start around 1:50

 

It seemed like the entire movie was built up for this final payoff in the last scene.  Pretty controversial, but some of the feelings I've had working for corporations especially.  Anyways, I thought it was a fantastic movie, and a powerful ending to a great movie. Thought provoking to say the least.

Movie was OK, but IMO was a big let down.  I usually like movies like this, but it came as a bit over the top at the end.  Not a terrible movie but won't watch again.

 

I kind of know what you mean. I was expecting something completely different, but was honestly pleasantly surprised. I don't know how you thought it was over the top at the end though, it was pretty spot on with how Brad Pitt's character was the entire movie. My buddy and I who watched it rewinded the last scene probably five times, then talked about it for a good hour. I think that is what good movies are suppose to do. They start a dialogue.

The movie itself should have been much much better considering the cast.

At one point you've got James Gandolfini rambling on about his ex wife for half an hour. Terrible writing.

 

I thought that was hilarious. To each his own i guess. Everything fit what the message of the movie was all about.

 

A lot of people hated the Jesse James movie but I loved it. This movie seems to have gone the same way. People loved it or were disappointed.

The dialogue alone pretty much ruined the film for me. Not to mention the slow motion hit.

I wanted to like the movie, it actually had some good parts but they were overshadowed by the bad for me.

I'm assuming you are referring to the Brad Pitt movie about Jesse James? I'll have to catch that one day.

Yea i really liked everything about this movie, so i don't know what to say. You probably will hate the Jesse James movie then. Very slow moving movie with an amazing soundtrack by Nick Cave. Great dialogue that really gets into the mind of Jesse James and Robert Ford. But again, VERY slow movie. It's close to 3 hours long.

Thanks for this thread TRG!  I honestly didn't get any feel for what the movie was about from trailers and then I saw this a week or so ago but avoided clicking on the video so I wouldn't spoil it.

 

I checked it out and to me, the whole movie was worth the final scene.  Could they have done some things differently?  Sure.  But, I liked that the movie was concise, full of action, and then Pitt's monologue at the end was an exclamation point.  And I ABSOLUTELY loved the cinematography and the way it was shot...  From the opening credits to the final scene.  Amazing work.

 

I plan on buying it...  I think the movie speaks to how many people feel today and I like how they interspersed clips of political speeches and commentary throughout and then brought it all together at the end...  it ran parallel it to Pitt's work in the way it was illustrated.

      Post Draft Luke and JJ Podcast

      By GamecockSmitty4 · Posted

      Here’s a summary of the JJ and Luke podcast transcript. Opening / Bryce Young Fifth-Year Option     •    JJ: Breaking news — Panthers picked up Bryce Young’s fifth-year option at $25.9M, guaranteed, coming in 2027. Combined with his 2025 salary of ~$6M, that’s $31M over two years — called it a “no-brainer.”     •    Luke: Enthusiastic about the move. Highlighted Bryce’s improving TD/INT ratios (11/10 → 15/9 → 23/11) and the value of entering year three with Dave Canales. Noted $25M is a bargain relative to the $60M top of market. Luke’s Personal Update — Charlotte Christian Football     •    Luke: Working with Charlotte Christian school football program, which hired a new head coach. Coaches include Greg Olsen, Luke, and Greg’s dad Chris Olsen (a New Jersey State coaching Hall of Famer).     •    JJ: Jokingly quipped that Charlotte Christian’s coaching staff is “the world’s greatest” — a Fox analyst, a Hall of Famer, and the best Panthers RB ever — all coaching middle school football.     •    Luke: Praised Chris Olsen’s deep football knowledge spanning decades and his ability to connect with kids. Round 1, Pick 19 — Monroe Freeling, OT, Georgia     •    JJ: Panthers were on the clock and submitted their pick almost immediately — a sign of confidence and preparation. Freeling is 6’7”, 320 lbs, played in the SEC in a pro-style system.     •    Luke: Loved the pick. Emphasized you can never have too many quality offensive linemen. Noted Freeling’s size, athleticism, and arm length as key traits. Said the pick also reflects team’s philosophy of drafting great people, not just great players.     •    JJ: Noted reporter Darren Gantt compared Freeling favorably to Jordan Gross — bigger, heavier, and faster — as a potential franchise left tackle.     •    Luke: Pointed out that young players like Freeling still have physical development ahead of them, comparing the trajectory to Christian McCaffrey’s growth from age 20 onward. Round 2, Pick 49 — Lee Hunter, DT, Texas Tech     •    JJ: Panthers traded up from 51 to 49 (pick swap with Minnesota) to grab Hunter. Played audio from Panthers area scout Kaden McLuhan, who scouted Hunter.     •    Scout Kaden McLuhan (audio): Said Hunter’s size is immediately striking, and that everyone around him spoke glowingly about his character, energy, and love for the game.     •    Luke: Praised Hunter as a massive (6’3”, 320 lbs, ~34” arms) two-gap nose tackle who fits perfectly in the Evero defense. Compared his prospect profile to Akiem Hicks. Said having Derek Brown, Bobby Brown, Derrick Brown, Terson Wharton, and now Hunter creates varied body types that stress offensive linemen.     •    JJ: Noted Hunter ranked third among all prospects in run-stuff rate and sixth in interior pass-rush win rate — addressing a perception that he couldn’t rush the passer. Rounds 3–7 Highlights     •    Luke: Highlighted WR Brazle (3rd round, 6’4”, 437 speed, 1,000+ yards at Tennessee) as the vertical threat the offense needed. Also praised OL Sam Heck (5th round) as a technically sound player whose “short arms” caused him to fall but who has proven himself.     •    Luke: Mentioned CB Will Lee (6’1”, 33” arms) fits the Panthers’ DB prototype — big, long corners.     •    Luke: Praised S/LB hybrid Zaki Wheatley (5th round, 6’3”) as a big nickel similar to Trayvon Merek.     •    Luke: Excited about the linebacker competition between Devin Lloyd, Trevvin Wallace, and Claudin Cherless.     •    JJ: Noted Panthers had the #1 “steal/overreach” rating in the entire draft — drafting players lower than consensus big boards projected. Around the League     •    Luke: Admitted being “a little jealous” that the Miami Dolphins drafted LB Jacob Rodriguez (Luke’s favorite LB in the draft). Has personal connections to Miami’s coaching staff (Jeff Hafley, DC Shawn Dugen — a childhood teammate).     •    Luke: Also noted Miami’s selection of OT/G Kaden Proctor out of Alabama, who will likely move to guard. League Trends — Bigger Tight Ends / 12 & 13 Personnel     •    JJ: Observed the NFL saw its highest run rate in ~11 years (~52%) and a notable pivot toward big blocking tight ends in this draft.     •    Luke: Explained the cyclical nature of NFL offense/defense evolution — as defenses get smaller to match spread offenses, teams counter with bigger personnel (12/13 formations), which then forces defenses to get bigger at the nickel/“big nickel” spot. Called it an ongoing arms race.

      Nothing about the Flyers scare me. They are a mid team that just barely made the playoffs.
