I think you just inspired me to write a book called "No Forum for Young Ladies"

HAHAHA!! Thats funny.

Back onto movies.. I really enjoyed the Movie "21" has anyone else seen it? It was kind of a smooth cool movie with no action, but was really enjoyable, the storyline was great and something different.

I recently saw "The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford" .

For a movie with so many A-List stars (Brad Pitt, Casey Affleck, Sarah Louis Parker, Zooey Deschannel, Sam Rockwell, Sam Shepard) and top notch character actors (Jeremy Renner, Garret Dillahunt, Paul Schneider), I couldn't figure out why it hadn't made a bigger splash in theaters. Brad Pitt alone is usually enough to guarantee a blockbuster.

I speculated that it was just a bad movie. It was not. It was outstanding. However, it was very hard to watch. Not "The House of Sand and Fog" gutwrenching, but maddening in it's slow, deliberate portrayal of characters with no redeming qualities. And not in the surface level "fun" way that most movies mold a villian that the viewer should hate, but in an everyday way. Like the mentally ill person on the street that scares you, so you avoid him. Like the friend who doesn't have the balls to do anything to stand up for himself, like the young boy so beaten down by years of paternal abuse that he is just a shell of a human being, like the guy with so little intellect that he latches onto and tolerates the abuse of a "friend" who takes everything and give nothing.

The acting was some of the best I've seen in years, but do not rent this movie expecting an action flick . . . or a feel good movie . . . or a story of redemption. It is not. It is bare and it is brutal. And it is beautiful in its portrayal of human ugliness.

And after seeing this only a few months after seeing "Gone Baby Gone", I am convinced that Casey Affleck may be the next great young American actor. Had I not seen "Gone Baby Gone", I might have thought Affleck himself performed so well in the role because his own personality mirrored that required to play Ford. But having see him play the strong willed protagonist Patrick Kenzie in Gone Baby Gone, it was clear that he has the ability to saturate himself with the character.

"The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford" is long, slow, and it is not fun. But it is an excellent movie.

Just saw "Iron Man".

Iron Man?

Last night they played "Cool Hand Luke" on TCM...that was very amusing! Reminded me a lot of "Oh Brother, Where Art Thou" but better (and with less Clooney head shaking).

      Water in Bunker

      By iacas ·

      Yes. If you choose to take the ball out of the bunker instead of taking maximum available relief… it costs a stroke.

      2024 TST Birdie Challenge

      By TourSpoon ·

      I got another one today....Number 17. Par 5 that has water left and right on the layup. I smacked a drive down the left side and got a little lazy on the layup and fanned my 6 iron. With 112 to a crowned green I got it to 3 feet and birdie!  Only 5 and 15 is left for this year!

      Water in Bunker

      By anaveragehacker ·

      Maybe I didn’t explain this properly. Back and front can be confusing.  There was no place in the bunker that didn’t have 2-3 inches of rain water in it, except for a small spot on the slope nearest the pin. If I had dropped there I would be moving 6-7 feet closer to the hole. Since my ball was just inside the bunker, farthest side from the hole, I dropped one club length backward, which brought me out of the bunker. I could not have hit from that deep of water. Are you saying I would have had to take a penalty stroke due to rain water?

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By iacas ·

      Day 550, May 5, 2024 Got a good hour in with a typical (for me) two-stick setup: pool noodle angled in front, yardstick on the ground angled 45° behind me.

      By Clemsonfan ·

      Day 130: Cinco de Mayo Day 7/24 of Full Speed Spectrum training. Difficult training day after struggling to certify my warmup yesterday, and today. Finished 13 mph lower than my training speed on Thursday. Hope to hit some balls today.
