    And it begs the question: should the Hall be stat driven only? 

    if it isn't you have to revisit the beltre-is-borderline point above.  he's a HOFer because of his stats.  he's a no doubt not doubt HOFer because of everything else.

    KO taking off. 

    it's one of my favorites because it is like clockwork, but your post made me excited so i checked today, and it has rocketed . . .  1%.  What are you talking about?  this is just its normal upward trajectory its always been on.

  3. I was watching an interview with Billy Bob Thorton the other day in support of sling blade, and he talks about the subtlety that’s necessary to reach certain audiences when you have a lesson in the movie. if there’s one area that this movie missed ( and there are a lot more than one ) that is it.  Ends up in just preaching to the choir without that subtlety.

     

    went ahead and pulled it up 

     

    “If you have a big old $98 million movie with all the big stars in it and say ‘this movie is about racism,’ well the racists won’t go see it”  - this movie’s flaws in one sentence

  4. i am a fan. their prequel stuff that they launched with was complete brilliance.  just hours of absolutely on-point issues about why they sucked and were put together poorly, from all movie making angles, presented in an amusing ways.

    My wife: “I thought Peter Parker was supposed to be smart? He is dumb, everyone in the theatre saw what was coming and that’s all I thought about the whole movie, how stupid that kid is. At any time while shit was going down, just push the fucking button on the box!”

    Spoiler

    that's why your wife would never make it as a friendly neighborhood spiderman.  as soon as he pushes the button, the bad guys would go back to their imminent deaths.  peter didn't want that and was willing to risk himself for it.

     

  6. Spoiler

    I saw The poster showing doc ock’s tentacles on the way into the movie, so I thought cool he’s evidently a bad guy. I cheered out loud when I saw it was really Alfred Molina.  Then when he said “you’re not Peter Parker,“ I really enjoyed my slow realization that what they were doing is saying that the Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield Spider-Man actually existed and it was a multi-verse situation.  Very fun.

    Most fun I’ve had a movie for a long time. I manage to stay 100% spoiler free.

    This is complete bullshit.

    Yes, most of the time people are late it's on them, and people who are habitually late are selfish and inconsiderate.  But to pretend there is no good excuse for being late is dumb. 

    It’s not bullshit.  It’s wisdom to be applied wisely.
