    I thought that movie sucked and completely missed the point of its own plot. I only watched once so maybe I need a rewatch but I remember feeling like the movie made a hero out of a terrible man and, despite the story of the movie, managed to marginalize its female lead.

    Anyways, watched the conversation and rear window the last couple days. Both nearly flawless movies. 

    I think the point of the movie was to show the perspective of each of the three involved.  The husband, the accused rapist, and the wife/alleged victim.  It was based on an actual historical event and from my understanding the perspectives shown were based on the testimony of each and how it lead to the last trial by combat recorded in history because of the he said/he said/she said thing.

    This is 5000% true.  America has a horrible tradition of racism.  Absolutely horrible.  But what is OK to say in polite company in parts of Europe would never fly in the US.  Central and south americans can imigrate to Spain pretty easily, so there are lots of Argentenians, Venzuelans, Brazilians, etc. here.  They get tons of shit and for the most part hate Spainards.

    Doesn't everyone?

  3. Watched Gardens of Stone for the first time in a while and forgot what a good movie it was.  As someone who served in the Army a few years later, the technical advisers on this movie did a great job.  The army stuff is really good.  Very underrated movie IMO.  A good look at how Vietnam divided the army in much the same way as the rest of the country, but mainly just some excellent performances from James Caan, James Earl Jones, etc.

  4. Agreed. Shed has too many mental lapses. It's like he's a step slow and it's not physical he just doesn't seem to be an instinctual player and it hinders the pick and roll we run fairly well because he just doesn't seem to grasp the timing.

  5. A classic example is the hands to the face call.  They couldn't see the holding next to it, but they saw that.  Ironically if you look at one of the ones where they called holding on us, in the frame is a Georgia guy with his hand up under, I think, Goolsby's facemask just like that.  Somehow they didn't see that one.

    Finally got around to showing the 11 y/o the Three Amigos and I swear I've never heard him laugh as much during a movie, maybe in any 100 minute window of his life, than that movie. I've seen it a billion times but to see him watch it for the first time ever was incredible.

    He wants to teach the 5 year old the amigo salute. 

    He wanted to run it back tonight and watch another comedy similar to that, any ideas on what I could introduce him to? We watched Bill and Ted, which he liked but figured there gotta be other options. Mentioned earlier he is a huge horror fan but not sure if there are "age appropriate comedies" for him before I turn him loose on the Porkys, Hardbodies, revenge of the nerds movies.

    Maybe Big Trouble in Little China?
