It is the best filmed adaptation of the novel and Caine is the best onscreen Scrooge. Period.

Phoenix shocked me in that movie. I went into it thinking it was PSH's movie. Fooled the shite outta me.
People sleep on that film, but what Phoenix did in that film was on par with the best anyone has done, ever. And Hoffman was no slouch. He didn't just let him have the movie, either.

The problem is that he was opposite DDL and that's a tough assignment. Overall, I don't think he hurts the movie. Much like The Dark Knight was a showcase for Ledger's take on the Joker character - TWBB is all about Lewis channeling John Huston.
On the other hand, There Will Be Blood is not as good a film as, say, No Country for Old Men or QT's opus, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, even if Dano was "better" (whatever that means).
I mean, Leo didn't match up with DDL all that well in Gangs of New York. Who does look strong next to him in a film?

Can definitely play center with that body leverage and balance. I wish all O-Lineman had a wrestling background
And he played D-Line as an underclassman. I think he is a sleeper:
1. Academy smart
2. Wrestles (in the 285-pound class - a very good HS record)
3. Switched from DLine in HS
Could be the starting C in 2027 and 2028, easily.

re: Ellis in…kid plays QB going to be a CB and recruited by Coach Raymond.

That often happens. Kevin Faulk played QB for Carencro because he was the best "football player" on the team. His natural position was RB, but, frankly, Kevin Faulk could have played any skill position reasonably well.
I think Ellis focusing on defense and the corner position is going to surprise some folks.

Edge and OT are basically equals in terms of value and Edges are getting paid more than OTs in the NFL b/c they're more impactful as individuals.
Myles Garrett is 270 pounds. Micah Parsons is 250.
Lamar Brown is 6'4", 285 pounds and doesn't turn 18 until next year. If he gains only 5 pounds in college and gets faster, he can stay at edge. But, if he ends up at 315 or more (which I think is likely), then he's going to either move inside to tackle or to offensive tackle.
There is a reason that most players at a certain position are of a stereotypical size.

I just feel that Brown is going to end up at left tackle. There is just too much value there. I get that the kid wants to play defense and that should be honored, but I have a feeling that common sense is going to prevail there.
Now, having said that, the "Bear Bryant" method was to have every single lineman start on defense. If they could get separation, they stayed on defense. If they couldn't, they moved to offense.

Just imagine how that conversation is going:
Lane: You guys are the top big men in the nation. You've already been committed to the school. Now, you're going to be part of the most exciting team in college football over the next 3 or 4 years. How could you not want to be part of that?
Brown/Anderson: You make a lot of great points coach.

During the Hurricane Katrina relief effort, we photoshopped Hurricane Rita to appear to be coming right at us (Baton Rouge) instead of the SW Louisiana track in a briefing for the chief of staff.
