    Poor Things (2023)

    Interestingly, I think this film would strike a chord with kids and that they may really appreciate it. Yes, there is sex in it but they would likely find those scenes funny. The film kind of has a child's eye view of life.

    2023-2024 NFL Season

    I think the way the Steelers dealt with it was fairly brilliant. If they lost faith in Pickett, they were able to clean house and create a new QB room and I think, if what I read was correct, they will be spending the least amount of money on their QBs this season by far than any team in the...

    2023-2024 NFL Season

    I was speculating about what may have happened. I have no insight into what actually happened. There were reports that the Giants really wanted to sign Wilson but in the talks they had they would not guarantee Wilson the starting job. Wilson's agent apparently told the Giants that Russell felt...

    Press Release Criterion Press Release: The Last Picture Show (1971) (4k UHD Combo) (Plus: Texasville)

    I should add, not that I am an expert, I have no idea how much or what seeing either of these films in 4K would add. I kind of think the Blu-ray version is all you need. The Last Picture Show, I thought, looked gorgeous on the Criterion Blu. The black and white version of Texasville did not look...

    Press Release Criterion Press Release: The Last Picture Show (1971) (4k UHD Combo) (Plus: Texasville)

    So, I went through this set, the Blu-ray version of it, and on Texasville here's what I can tell you. The director's cut is in black and white but to my eyes, it looks kind of crappy, almost like a digital video quality. This was more evident because I watched it right after watching The Last...

    Poor Things (2023)

    This film is a comic take on Frankenstein but I would say not as hilarious as Young Frankenstein, though I will say that Ruffalo's character could slide right into Young Frankenstein, he is totally hilarious and is a joy every second he is onscreen. The dance scene that Ruffalo and Stone do in...

    I.S.S. (2023)

    I watched this recently and thought it was a decent little space thriller. As the title implies this takes place on the International Space Station, which has a crew of 6 people, three from the US and three from Russia. The premise is very simple, the entire crew is friendly toward each other...

    Here is the explanation of why the Bears took a lower offer from Pittsburgh than they got from another team. There were said to be 5 teams talking to the Bears about Fields. “The Bears had an additional offer with stronger draft capital from a team with an established starter, per a source...

    A comedy mystery for anybody that is a real dude-arino at heart.

    From Chris Pine and the school of The Dude comes a story about a pool man. The first 1000 ticket buyers get a free White Russian.

    Poor Things (2023)

    She does get one good line out of it when she says something like "Who am I to lie in a feather bed while babies are dying in a ditch?" and they probably should have had her quizzically say that line while looking emotionless, as usual, at the people in the ditch. Or they could have used it...

    Poor Things (2023)

    I guess that could be said but I think that is the one odd scene in the film because for the entire film before and after the ditch scene she remains cold and analytic about all human interaction. She never becomes a warm and cuddly person. Never looks at anything beyond that sort of...

    Also having this Fields deal done long before the draft just raised the value of every rookie QB in this draft. So, probably now the three other QBs McCarthy, Penix, and Nix all have a shot to go higher with Fields off the board.

    2023-2024 NFL Season

    I would rate the job the Steelers did here as outstanding. They totally altered their QB room at almost no cost and made sure if Wilson continues to be little more than mediocre they have a guy to step right in. Both Fields and Wilson should love playing for Tomlin. I have to imagine Wilson...

    2023-2024 NFL Season

    Wow again! That seems like peanuts for Fields and I can't imagine why another team did not offer more. Technically according to the NFL compensation theory, if you trade for a future pick, like a 2025 pick in 2024, the value of that pick supposedly slides back one round on the compensation...

    2023-2024 NFL Season

    Wow, kind of the exact opposite of what the Steelers said would happen there. My guess is this, Wilson wanted a guarantee he would be the starter wherever he went. Hence why he would not go to the Giants supposedly. They told him he would compete with Jones. Now when the Steelers signed Wilson...

    Poor Things (2023)

    Frankenstein's monster does have a gentle side to start, before he goes on his rampage and sure, it is in part driven by the hostile reaction to him. In this new Frankenstein story, the monster Bella begins on a rampage and continues to upset society as she goes. This version is much funnier...

    Poor Things (2023)

    So, there is one aspect of this film that, being honest and open here, kind of depresses me. It was present as well in Barbie and I guess you could call it a byproduct of these newer women's empowerment films. You could also say that it was present in Night Country, the HBO series, and that is...

    Poor Things (2023)

    Just reading through comments here on the film, a few that come up a lot: This is a take on Frankenstein, yes, I agree. It is funny how it is reversed and the creator looks like the monster, while his creation, the actual monster looks like a beautiful young woman. The way she is monstrous in...

    It's a film that should inspire a lot of discussion.

    Poor Things (2023)

    Oddly, I don't feel much for Bella watching the picture. It was one aspect of the experience that I noticed is, I don't know that I could call it a flaw because it is obviously intentional, built in to her character. Bella is always in charge, always just enjoying herself and her situation...

    Poor Things (2023)

    I definitely think Kubrick was a big influence on him, this shows the most in Killing of a Sacred Deer where he seemed to set out to shoot that script as Kubrick would have shot it. I enjoyed that but I could understand someone saying "Wow, he's just trying to do his own Kubrick film." I think...

    Poor Things (2023)

    My other general thoughts on this, no spoilers. I think Yorgos Lanthimos has established himself as one of the master filmmakers of our time. He tackles interesting subjects and his visual sense telling his stories is fantastic. One of the first things you will notice about this film is it is...

    Poor Things (2023)

    So, in this film, Ms. Stone spends plenty of time nude and plenty of time having and enjoying sex. She even ends up enjoying being a prostitute and having sex with people she does not know. I think the aspect that may stand out in the picture is she really enjoys sex. There is some music that...

    It's a Pi with some K in it but amounts may vary.

    2023-2024 NFL Season

    The Jets are hoping someone will make a trade for Zach Wilson but I have to imagine he barely even rates a 7th round pick based on the fact that the Patriots got a 6th round pick for Mac Jones and he was better than Wilson ever was in the games he played in. There are supposedly a few teams...
