Second Chance Movies


Mr. Scot

Recommended Posts

First time I watched "Skyline" I finished thinking "that sucked".

 

Caught it again last night on cable and thought I'd give it a second chance.

 

Still sucked :(

 

But on the flipside, I know there are a fair share of movies I've seen that didn't make as great an impression on me the first time through, but seemed a lot better the second time around.  SWAT was one, also Dune and The Last Starfighter, and the original Night of the Living Dead.

 

What movies have you given second chances?

Too many to count...

A lot of it has to do with how you view things as a kid versus as an adult. The Keaton Batman movies come to mind. Thought they were incredible as a kid, then saw the first never a year ago and couldn't believe Jack Nicholson signed up for it. Still a lot of value just because of the memories, though.

On the opposite end of the spectrum, I was told by people that The Village was a stupid, horrible movie. I watched it the first time and felt it was lacking quite a bit. When I re-watched it later, I thought it was a good movie.

I am guessing you are a lot younger than me! But Jack Nicholson was a great joker....i rewatched Batman a couple weeks ago. He was brilliant in that movie....the cheesy henchman with purple and yellow cars, not so much.

I will also make the statement that Jack Joker > Heath Joker

You're not gonna find many takers on that notion.

 

Our old buddy Epistaxis put it well:  "Ledger's Joker was actually The Joker.  Nicholson's Joker was Jack in white face paint.

    • It is all confusing and layered. SB is the cash you get very soon within weeks or in simple terms, its what you get to sign the paper work. Players and agents can agree on contract but what to "wait" to sign......teams don't like that cause you can "Carlos Boozer" yourself. In order to get that ink dry, while keeping the contract the same, portion it as a bonus to "sign" and get the funds with ________ .   * But Ive seen worded contracts that split the SB or a 20% to a later date. The beans counters can fill in the details about why certain dates are better and save the team money.. Theres tricks to the trade and accounting is full of them.    Ugh another big layer, is SB can be used to manipulate cap and players. Ill try to give a example that makes enough sense. Believe it or not having a owner like Tepper is a cheat code for this. He has cash in hand, where as Mark Davis had problem making pay roll and had to move the team to Vegas....... Tepper can give you 100,000,000 SB right now and the team can spread out the cap hit. Another owner doesn't have or want to give the player 100,000,000 in cash, but offered the same guaranteed contract in roster bonuses fully guaranteed over the next few years........ Which one do you want??? Everyone wants the money now, not before another inflation waves hits in 2 years. So it does 'pay" to have a owner like tepper that's able to have real cash on hand, while it also works GREAT for cap help. Heres a good video, if you can stand coked up pat and mask look-a-like AJ    
    • I don't know. CMC is like others and may have lip serviced that line of " I had no plan or wanted to leave Carolina" I think he even said he bought a house too and wanted this to be home.   Here's what I heard- In a way Panthers org gave him a test and he didn't "fight" back. They approached CMC and told him they wanted to put him on IR since the "season" was over or out of playoff reach. CMC didn't fight it one lick and agreed. They secretly wanted him to kept playing or want to, but there was no kickback. I honestly don't know if its real or not, 5th hand information type deal doing on. Yes he had bruises and pains, but was able to play...... but went along with Panthers staff. Odd to be playing games with star players, but whatever....   Plus the staff doctors found out about his tendinitis and there was nothing to fix it. Even with him missing time, it was the best move to trade him before he got inflamed constantly.    Lastly, its mostly time a combo of stuff, Fitterererere did not sign him to be the highest paid RB. That was classic Marty "give me a" herniay doing. GMs have different values on roster spots and rumor was Fitterererer was one that didn't want to pay RBs. For all his faults, he's right about that......
