One star out of five. Ouch. And yet a five as well. The war goes on.

I hope some day he's a Vermillionairre.

The odd part is it has a lot in common with samurai films. It may have become an iconic representation of a culture, but to watch it, it certainly doesn't come across as celebration of that scene. Even if Robert Stigwood teed it up as an exploitation film, it comes out as a documentation of the beautiful, almost heroic stupidity of young men. Tony is totally a code hero.

Holy shit, yes. That montage of the long subway ride home never fails to touch me in the pourin' rain.

First post-Star Wars appearance: Mark Hamill: Corvette Summer Carrie Fisher: Come Back, Little Sheba (TV) Harrison Ford: Heroes Alec Guinness: Raise the Titanic James Earl Jones: Exorcist II: The Heretic Peter Cushing: Shock Waves Anthony Daniels: The Lord of the Rings (voice—1978) Kenny Baker: Wombling Free Peter Mayhew: Sinbad and the Eye of the Tiger That's a lot of agents asleep at the stick. I'm tempted to give Mayhew the win here.

Returning to the pile of stuff I've seen in the past months, but not polled, we get to ... Corvette Summer! Teenage gearhead cares about nothing but cars, and spends most of his senior year leading his shop class in the restoration of Corvette Stingray whose husk they rescue from the scrap yard just as it's about to be compressed. By the time it's finished, it's so accessorized and tricked out as to qualify for one-of-a-kind status, so of course it gets boosted. While the rest of the class shrugs their shoulders and goes back to doing high school stuff, our hero resolves to find and reclaim his baby, and his adventure takes him on hitch-hiking journey to Vegas where he ends up in the crosshairs of bad dudes and crazy broads.

If you've got good selections, post 'em up. I've just made a list of what I've watched the last few months, and I'm using my randomizer to pick one every now and then and putting up a post about anything the randomizer chooses. I've become a member of a film-watching group during COVID months, and so am frequently left to yield to the choices of others. I don't want to throw my dear friends under the trailer, but this has oft led to sub-optimal results.

Now that you bounce this up, I guess the reason future generations are drafting middle-agers to go into the future to fight is because if they get more age-appropriate soldiers, they'll be killing off ancestors before their child-bearing years, and wiping out their own existence.

A reclusive and reluctant romance novelist finds herself swept into one of her own tales as she is kidnapped off to a jungle island, with only her agent and her regular cover model in pursuit to rescue her. There may be hyjinks. [FIMG=500]https://i.etsystatic.com/41365720/r/il/b79dfc/4646813872/il_794xN.4646813872_hymq.jpg[/FIMG]

I think that's become pretty close to standard since Grease. You're supposed to pay more attention or something when the names and faces aren't corresponding, forcing you to match them up.

You may think of Los Angeles' Crenshaw High School as the place where great ballplayers come from. But what of Crenshaw Middle School? Well, that's where great spellers come from. At least, that's where one great speller comes from. At least, it is in the universe this movie is set in. Akeelah is that middle schooler — an indifferent overall student from a single-parent home, afraid of standing out in the harsh social structures around her. But her principal sees her talent as transformational — something that can not only turn her life around, but perhaps create some ripples radiating out around her, and so he hooks her up with a mentor who is working through some shit of his own. And while her family, friends, and classmates are initially unsupportive embittered by her standout skill and the snooty spelling crowd she hangs out with across town, eventually they become part of her quest to spell her way to glory. GLORY! [FIMG=500]https://i.etsystatic.com/41088122/r/il/eeb575/4700354810/il_794xN.4700354810_r76u.jpg[/FIMG]

You may want to copy and save that post for the array of threads I'm going to put up over the coming weeks to jumpstart this sub-forum.

When a party of Canadian miners get trapped after a cave-in, their air begins to run out. Somewhere in the Northwest United States, a trucker and his mechanic partner/brother find themselves down-on-their-luck, and sign up for the rescue mission, a not-so-great-big-convoy carrying needed rescue equipment across a frozen lake ... in April. Even in Canada, that's a risky way to go, but it's the mission they've signed up for. The perils of nature and the underhanded designs of man increase their danger every mile.

Need 5 teams for my fantasy league
Edgy MD replied to Cowtipper's topic in Crane Pool Forum Fantasy League
One of youse fantasizers ought to get in on this. -
There are probably dozens of useful comps out there, depending on which criteria you favor. Chris Davis, Paul Goldschmidt, José Abreu ... .
-
Ryan Howard's precipitous decline was accelerated by having to regularly face Pedro Feliciano. And Jon Niese, for that matter.
-
I also kinda wish they did it as the title suggested. Instead of a straight bio, I was kind of expecting just the testimonies from 27 years of batters who'd faced him.
-
Sorry to have no Seaver content. His contemporary pitchers — Carlton, Jenkins, Palmer, et al. — generally are absent as commentators, but they load up on Roger Clemens and Randy Johnson.
-
Of course, among Mets managers, we get beaucoup Bobby Valentine in the second half. It's unfortunately produced by Ryan's family, so it certainly had the narrative the family wanted, along with contributing figures who are friendly with the family, but that's easy enough to forgive once you're aware of it. They do a good job of framing the context for the Ventura fight, which I seemingly have been kind of reading incorrectly all these years.
-
I'm saving the second half for Sunday night. I'm a fan of Tom House though, through his book (with Craig Wright) of The Diamond Appraised. A contemporary of Bill James, House stands out from the crowd in that he's been more of a baseball theorist than a data analyst — someone who introduces new theses to the game. I think he was also baseball's first reliably documented steroid user. He went on to study kinetic science, and I believe provided personal coaching to Tim Tebow — trying to help his throwing of both footballs and baseballs.
-
Yeah, I'm halfway. It seems that this was in part produced by a production company owned by the family or something. The narrator likes to include the apocryphal parts of the story, saying that it's probably (or definitely) bullshit but enjoying slathering on the myth. Would have naturally liked more Metly content, but in addition to Gil Hodges archival footage, we get two Mets managers acting as talking heads — Jeff Torborg (who caught him with the Angels) and Art Howe (who made the play on the last out of his fourth no-hitter). Could have used less Pete Rose, but most movies, even if they have zero Pete Rose content, could use less Pete Rose. Rube Walker doesn't exactly come out looking great.

Watching this NOW!!!! "From the time I was about five years old, I had an attraction to cattle." — L. Nolan Ryan

Cued up for this weekend.

I remember, in the mid-eighties, a player interviewed who had recently jumped from one league to the other, asked about who was more intimidating to face, Gooden or Clemens. He paused a beat and just said, "Nolan Ryan." At the time, Ryan was something like the age of Gooden and Clemens combined.
