This is the same industry who so cavalierly opines and uses our money to influence our political process that is corrupt as they are...

An entire industry of "critiquing" is snake oil to me... Just from the mindset that there are opinions that are paid for having to do with Art and Entertainment which are completely subjective and personal preference.

Ever watched Chopped on Food Network? I love the defensive "well that is the way I like it" responses to someone being told their flank steak is over cooked.

Its all judging and beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Some people like a thick dark almost gravy-like gumbo, some like a thinner lighter soup-like gumbo. If you get one of each on a judging panel, who knows what will win.


BTW... Tin Cup, 3000 Miles to Graceland, both excellent movies, both somewhat cheesy but that doesn't mane cheesy a bad thing. :bng:

Saw the trailer, loved what I saw. I'm definitely checking it out.

The internet is full of wanna-be movie critics who lambast everything that comes out in an attempt to sound intelligent. I'm fully convinced that if Citizen Kane or The Godfather came out today there'd be a thousand people telling us how terrible it is. I can judge for myself if a movie is any good or not, thank you very much.

I don't mind decently made "B" grade movies sometimes. I enjoyed The Postman and hey, Bull Durham was good. I like the movie costner made where he no hits the Yankees and use that line from the movie when he says "clear the mechanism" in my day to day. Lol. Is there something wrong with that? Lotta hate up in here. :brood:

District 9 had some rave reviews... I left after the first 30 minutes.

DRAFT DAY - Official Theatrical TRAILER [HD] - 2014 - YouTube

If you get past the actors and the acting, the story about the NFL being a business and a production, then a sport is what most fans cant get their heads wrapped around. I am taking my wife so she understands why some players are traded and why some others are signed.

I enjoyed it, my wife loved it.

Some will get it, some won't.

I don't want to give anything away.

The Postman, Waterworld, Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves...oh my...

Though the DraftDay trailer showing the snip of his Mom tipping his hand to SportCenter via Twitter looks promising after having to endure the bore known as Chris Berman...

Cautiously Optimistic...

Captain America: The Winter Soldier IMAX3D with my daughter is our first choice...

And how awesome is she?!? Said she'd do a double and go see it so Dad can laugh at who Hollywood picks for the Saints and Falcons...Love My Girl...

My favorite Costner flick.

So you'll get the actual draft and a real NFL game before you can see a movie about the draft.

Makes sense.


It's probably due to a lack of interest from theaters.
