Second Chance Movies

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.

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      By Seltzer · Posted

      Regardless of how we got here, any rational fan should be excited by how well Bryce played down the stretch. Anyone not happy about that level of play either doesn't know what they're looking at, or they're still trying to drive tired narratives. Obviously, Cam had an all-time rookie season, and I'm not putting the two in the same basket yet, but as someone who has watched every snap of Panthers football since the start of the new millennium (Im old), Bryce was playing at a higher level at the end of 2024 than Cam was at the end of 2012 (his 2nd season). Cam continued to develop into MVP form, something Bryce has to prove, but as someone who watched both (and will stan for Cam always), Bryce was playing at a higher level to end year 2 than Cam did.  Go watch the film if you dont believe me. None of that means anything for the future. But the people who said BY9 couldnt play in this league are wrong.   That being said, the only thing that matters is this year. #20 is perfectly fair IMO going into the season. I mean think about it, how would you rank him??!  His in-season turnaround is one of the wildest things I've ever seen... how do you rank a guy who looked like a massive bust in September and by January was consistently playing at a top 10 level? My excitement level is pretty damn high heading into this season. There were throws from the Chiefs game onward where Bryce had Drew Brees levels of anticipation. Im excited to see what he can do with a full deck on offense, something we really never gave Cam. Really hope and expect Bryce to move up this list this season.

      Not really, the only QB's (other than Anthony Richardson) ranked below him are new to their teams as a placeholder starter or drafted in 2024 or 2025, not a lot of gymnastics to get there. It's not about how many that is, if it's 20, 12, or 2... It means there isn't a QB who's team has committed to them for the long term right now that they have ranked below Bryce. That's not a great thing.

      Potential changes to playoff seeding

      By HaricotVert · Posted

      The changes to onside kicks were ridiculous and ruined a significant part of the game     It was already a high risk low reward play.  Why change it?
