  1. I agree with this. The score was ridiculously loud, and in some places it detracted from the dialogue and the power of the scene itself. I get that Nolan wanted the audience to viscerally feel the tension building within Oppenheimer throughout the film, but there were a few times when I caught myself thinking "man, I'm going to enjoy this a lot more on my sofa." Still an outstanding film with top notch performances throughout.
  2. And we're at Waggle count for the graphics! You know the tournament is a snooze when they're digging that deep.
  3. Straka lips out a 2' par putt. Rahm misses a birdie by half a ball. But Day with a nice hole out to give the drenched crowd something to cheer about.
  4. Back to back birdies by Harman. The engraver can start sharpening his tools.
  5. Harman has one hand firmly on the Claret. Just can't see him shooting worse than one or two over today. His putter isn't showing any signs of betrayal.
  6. Interesting as my wife and I are considering Portland, ME and the area for retirement. We'd been focused on WA and the Puget Sound area up to Sequim for many years, but the constant wild fires is giving us pause (not that NE is immune; see Canada). I grew up in MN, but my wife has spent her entire life between San Antonio and Austin. She's thrilled about the chance to live in a true four season environment. As long as someone else is shoveling the big snowstorms and we're within a 15-20 minute commute to necessary infrastructure (medical, groceries) and 45 to an airport then winter doesn't phase me. There's no bad weather, just bad clothing. Edit: but to remain more topical, we can't wait to get the hell out of Texas.
  7. Bogey for Spieth on 2. He was running after that putt before it came to a stop. Oh well, he'll get a nice round of applause on 18 as a past champion.
  8. Jordan's going to have his hands full trying to get par on the 2nd. With the weather turning to shite it's hard to imagine him grinding through for a 68 and a backdoor top 10. He's just as likely to swipe and wipe around the course en route to a 77 and a warm, dry flight back home.
  9. Jordan missed the fairway on the 2nd so maybe that means he'll actually hit the green with his approach?!?
  10. Jordan with a 6 footer for par on the first. Used all the cup, but it went down. This is either going to be a boring final round with Harman hoisting the Claret Jug, or one of the epic choke jobs.
  11. Scottie's -4 today. Looks like a drizzly, breezy morning so far.
  12. He's about to start walking after his putts a half second after it leaves the face of the putter at this point. Oh well, I'm not second guessing getting matinee tix for Oppenheimer tomorrow morning.
  13. Rain's beginning to pick up. Are we going to get some true Open weather finally?
  14. My in-laws were exactly the same. It became comical when the ultra-faux evangelical and RW SIL told her parents that she couldn't vote for Trump again in 2020 because he was such a vile, disgusting POS and she was read the riot act for not "trusting God's plan." Amazingly enough, she stood her ground.
  15. Day with another dart on the 2nd and cans the birdie. Nobody should be sleeping on Jason, right?
  16. Rahm's firmly in it. Thirty on the inward nine. Wow.
  17. Day gets to -4 after birdie on one. Spieth needs to have birdie putt tries of under 50' if he wants to get into contention.
  18. So Trumpkins are literally paying for his legal fees with Trump bucks.
  19. Lulz. Guaranteed she's the type who declares Trump is a modern day King Cyrus and God is using him as an example that He can make the non-pious do his righteous bidding. Here's a hint: whenever anyone asks you how your spirituality has grown or for examples of people who have mentored you on your spiritual journey, they don't care what your answer is. They've determined you're one of them, and just want you to make grunting noises that they will regurgitate to other of their ilk as proof that you and they are among "the chosen."
  20. Didn't realize that Koepka and Cantlay ended up paired together for the 3rd consecutive day. Lulz.
  21. Jordan's likely going to have to go sideways out of that greenside bunker on 18. FML.
