Looks great.

It is crazy to me that a very clearly Christian movie studio, whose movies, I believe, have heretofore all been Christian based or starred very outspoken Christian actors like Caviezel, has this and the George Washington movie coming out and both movies have big damn, real arse actors who are not particularly outspoken with their Christian beliefs if they are Christian at all.

The David Movie must have their coffers full :lol:

I have less animosity toward Rory than you, but yeah the US Open rules official fricked Burns for sure.

And yeah, I mentioned to my friends that all Burns’s shots into the woods ended up with him behind a tree. It seemed like a lot of others, Cam Young and Rory among them, had their balls ricochet back into the fairway.

Hell, Cam Young had several instances where he hit a really bad shot only for it to strike a spectator and roll back into play.

He also tried to make the green in 2 on 15 (a par 5) that, had he made it, would have set him up to potentially be tied with Scottie at the end or better.

But he was about 6 inches short and instead of it rolling onto the green it rolled into the water.

I like that his mentality isn’t “let me just go for an easier shot so I can maybe make a birdie,” but is instead, “I want to win this and to do so I have to eagle this hole and if I don’t make it I’ll scramble for par.”

The bogey on 17 wasn’t great, though.

Burn’s next step is being that guy. He has to believe it. It’s obvious given his talent and skills he’s one of the best golfers on the planet. But every time he gets a lead he succumbs to the pressure. Came out birdie the first hole. Tied for lead. Royally fricks up next two holes. Now he’s out of it. Presumes to play good golf the rest of way like he had all week. Proud of him though for fighting through it

Even just two years ago, that double bogey followed by a bogey would have seen him tumble down the leader board like Lowry did.

Instead, he parred the rest of the front nine and steadied himself.

Burying the long birdie putt showed his mental resilience is getting better, in my opinion.

Seems like it’s just a matter of time now. I think getting totally hosed by the ref at US Open actually benefited him

Jesus, North County is such a shite hole.

Pineapple Express sucked dick balls.

Tropic Thunder, on the other hand, was phenomenal.

Talladega Nights is funnier.

But the funniest movie ever made, imo, is Blazing Saddles.

Arrival is probably the best SciFi movie made in the last 25 years. It is better than Interstellar though it is not as big a movie.

Just so well done.

He and Villeneuve are probably the best two big picture filmmakers working today and their names alone should bring you to the box office.

They very, very rarely miss.

I think Inception is fantastic. I think Interstellar is one of the greatest sci-fi movies of all time. Memento proves he can do the smaller budgets and tighter characters.

But there is nothing that can top the Prestige. That film is a masterpiece and a master class in directing. Unlike his muddled sound mixes that come later, the Prestige is balanced, thoughtful, and executed to perfection.

The twist is beautifully done. The concept well conceived. It is a movie that should be and will be studied for its sets, costumes, lighting, pacing, tension, and acting.

I would put that movie up against any movie of the last 50 years.

They can downvote you all they want but you are correct. The tears bullshite has me worried also her being angry with what Paul is doing. Big change from the book. I think they are going to go whole hog in the religion is evil. Messiahs are evil and I think it will completely deviate from Dune Messiah and Children of Dune. I don't know what the final script looks like but originally they said it would take parts from book 2 and 3.

---

The whole point of Dune was to be wary of messiahs.

It was its biggest failure because Paul is absolutely a hero and is someone the reader sympathizes and empathizes with.

It’s why the subsequent books were written, specifically, Messiah.
