re: Foreign Films, looking for recommendations

Posted by Gavin Elster on 5/9/25 at 8:45 pm

You’ve got some great recommendations already but I’ll add a few:

The Wages of Fear
The Passion of Joan of Arc
Breathless (anything directed by Jean-Luc Godard)
Dairy of a Country Priest (anything directed by Robert Bresson)
Diabolique (Inspired Hitchcock to make Psycho)

With the exception of one of the basketball games, all were played in College Station. Payback is coming.

re: ‘Righteous Gemstones’ to End With Season 4 at HBO, Final Episodes to Premiere in March

I agree with the consensus that the finale and season in general (with the exception of two or three episodes) was not up to par. The series overall was very good though and it gave us an all time great character in Baby Billy. But, the failed landing left me unsatisfied enough that I’m starting a Vice-Principles rewatch.

re: Early reviews for Thunderbolts… The MCU is saved!!!

Posted by Gavin Elster on 5/1/25 at 9:02 pm

I saw Thunderbolts this evening. It was…….fine I guess. Not bad but definitely forgettable. The villain was way overpowered for this team and the way they deal with him is extremely anti-climatic. Stick around for the end credit scene though.

Seemed pretty slow, but I have heard it's the best movie ever.

It was considered the best film by critics for quite a while but a lot of the top critics have moved it a bit down the list now.

I like slower build movies that rely of well delivered lines (like There Will Be Blood or Glengarry Glen Ross).

Sounds like you’d like it. I would recommend you finish it, I think you’ll be glad you did.

Hey Brown, way to make up for a horrible at bat last inning.

Attention Disney, Hollywood actors and actresses:

Shut the hell up. Every instinct you have about what to say and how to market a movie is wrong. Just shut up and and let the film speak for itself. Damn I’m sick of this bs.

The Saints panicked

Wrong, their reaction after the pick proves this isn’t true. They wanted this guy, regardless of your own feelings about the pick.

Simple Jack, nothing the Saints did had anything to do with Cleveland. You’re a goofball, :lol:

re: Saints take Tyler Shough, QB, Louisville!

Posted by Gavin Elster on 4/25/25 at 6:51 pm

I’m not a fan of this pick. But, given his age, they must think he’s NFL ready now. You can’t really afford to sit him at 26. So, for better or for worse, the Saints will be Shough’s team.

If Saints have opportunity to draft Bech I wonder if out of respect for his brother being killed here, let him get picked up by another team elsewhere. I’m sure that’s in consideration

I’m sure you’re an idiot if you really believe that. I don’t know if the Saints would want him but his brother being killed is not a factor in the decision.

You’re complaining because they didn’t draft Dart at #9? Time to go to bed junior. :lol:

re: Not to go with Warren is another example of how

Posted by Gavin Elster on 4/24/25 at 8:37 pm

Warren is in free fall. Maybe the Saints know what they’re doing.

Fixing the line was crucial. And this guy is talented. Hated passing on Walker and Warren but this was not a bad pick at all. Now, please don’t trade 2026 #1 to get back into the first round Mickey!

Somewhere Mickey Loomis is sitting with a melancholy look in his eyes, wishing he could have been the one to give up a 2026 first rounder. Don’t worry Mickey, there’s plenty of time left.
