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.

      Adam Theilen said he came back to play with Bryce, and he expects the Panthers to surprise some people

      By CRA · Posted

      99% of my complaints generally are front office complaints.  It may not appear that way always but that's where I have been for some time.   It's also why I constantly talk about random parts the last several years....  to this day, if they were going to draft Bryce Young....I thought they needed to do specific things.   They have literally done the opposite.   In a certain world, I would LOVE an AT.  A Bryce Young.  An XL.  All sorts of people.  How they have chosen to put it all together here? Meh.  I still think if Bryce Young is your QB....the easiest and obvious play for a team....would be a dynamic slot WR, a rec RB, and solid rec TE.  Spread it out.  Let him be the point guard.  I still think this team is being built for a different type QB....one that a Jake Delhomme style QB would thrive more in.  Which is in fact the heart of what Canales has been around and done.  So I nitpick it all.  If I had thought Bryce Young was going to rebound....I would have NEVER been all in on XL like I was.  I was all in XL because I thought the BY experiment was about to over quick.  Ladd would have made way more sense if you believed in BY IMO.   I don't think this team did.  I think Dave drafted XL because they were mentally ready to move on and did after 2 weeks.  and I thought the Frank think was bologna from the jump.  I just have hate the pairings and plan every since Rhule year 1.   Rhule year 1 was the last time I really thought this team was in a good place to give it a go.  It went horribly.  But....the zoomed out plan was pretty logical all around.  Rhule just was not ready and a clown on top of that.   I still think the Dave, BY, XL, Tmac build 3 round pegs and a square one at the end of the day.  Worst thing to happen to BY was to land in Carolina IMO.   Which is often how the NFL plays out.  Where you land and what the org does matters probably more than raw talent/ability often.  I do not actually have a problem with Adam Thielen in a vacuum.  He is overperforming in a vacuum all things considered.

      Bryce Young could throw for 40 tds and 4500 yards this season and my gut instinct still says you would triple down on hating him.

      Scourton isn't signed (& apparently it's a thing)

      They should just be predetermined slotted contracts.  I feel like that was the intention of the current system, but they left too much room for interpretation about guaranteed money.  I agree though.  You play for who drafts you or you don't play.
