Too bad it's not doing as well at the box office as it's been reviewed. Gotta give TC credit for choosing great sci movies.


I'll wait until I rewatch it a few times, but upon first impression it's amongst my favorite TC movies, The Last Samurai and Minority Report.

Edge Of Tomorrow has it's flaws, for sure, but for the most part its a very solid film.  The worst part of it for me was a slightly forced romance near the end.

How hot was Emily Blunt? That scene where she's stretching in that yoga outfit? Yikes...

That's the problem. She had too much clothing on. :-)

Blunt was good in that sci fi movie with Matt Damon and Roger Sterling from Mad Men. I liked those outfits better. :-)

The Adjustment Bureau? Really? I so wanted to like that movie, I love both Damon and Blunt but I just could not get into it.

I meant her outfits & decolletage in that movie.

The Raid 2 - Birdie. Saw this awhile ago but found this on YT, check out this fight scene. If anyone here is squeamish, it's pretty darn violent.

I love me some hammer lady...

Also finally saw the original Godzilla, in Japanese with subtitles (Criterion Collection) - I heard it was good, but I have to admit, I liked it better than 2014 Godzilla, with all the special effects. Great writing. Birdie.

Under The Skin-  Definite birdie, but you have to have a really open mind and like bizarre, way out there stuff.  I hate to say it, but it's worth it just for Scarlett's first ever full frontal.  Good film.

Men In Black gets a birdie because it's so re-watchable.  Every time it's on AMC (or Bravo, or USA, or whatever) and there is nothing else good on, it is a perfect stop for the remote.

How does Vincent D'Onofrio not get an Oscar nomination for that performance?? (Not kidding BTW) ;-)

X-Men future of past or something - Birdie I loved the opening seen so much and set the tone for the rest of the movie.. Those sentinels and how they were killing off mutents was great! I didn't expect the part of the sending back in time, but it was cool! The sentinel reminded me of the one in The first Thore if any of you remember, and now I'm not sure who stole it from who.. I mean these things were in all the xmen cartoons so yeah.. A few other really cool scenes... A pretty interesting plot and a lot of questions left unanswered but almost in a good way! Must see in my opinion!

That Quicksilver scene was awesome. The song fit perfectly as well. Looking forward to the ape movie and especially Boyhood.

Same for both movies.

Plus I'm a big Richard Linklater fan. Boyhood got incredible reviews.

Before Sunrise, Sunset and Midnight are my favorites. Lost count of how many times I've seen them. Waking Life and A Scanner Darkly too.

    • I get kidney stones. So 100 oz of water every day. Some nights I drink 32oz between midnight and 6 Am. Which means I dont sleep much.
    • 46 (9 over) Short game and putts were awful!
    • 46+40 for an 86. I just need to play 9 holes on the range before each round. 🤣🤣🤣
    • I don’t measure my intake either. I generally have a black coffee, a bottle of soda, some sweet tea at home, and anything in between is water. An ice cold bottle of water is one of my favorite things. It feels like an immediate refresher for my body. I’ll admit that I need to drink a little more though. 
    • For such a nice membership, there have been some bad incidents in the past few years.  We had someone voted out a couple of years ago over something he did and he harassed the board members for three months until he moved out of the area.   Generally they’ve tried to do things like tournament handicaps and identify certain people who they know should be lower and adjust it somehow.  I can understand not wanting to go thru something like the guy who was voted out again i emailed the pro who forwarded it to the handicap committee.  They are going to see what can be done.  I walked someone thru what happened and they are going to nudge him to post the score from the match and see what he does.  Since he didn’t put anything in the electronic scoring past 13, based on how he played 14 and 15 plus having to take bogey on 16-18 for after he left, he should post 83.  We’ll see if it’s even higher,   Since he was really even thru 13, then doubled 14 and parred 15 my guess is he really shot 75 being generous and giving him 2 pars and a bogey on the three holes he didn’t play.    i shot 88, getting 16 shots for my course handicap which is net even and I lost on 13.  We do brackets where handicaps should be within 4-5 of each other.  Most matches only have 1-2 shots as a difference between players  neither of us posted the score yet.  There was something in the match play rules about whether or not to post your score.  I couldn’t remember if we were supposed to or not.  I don’t think he was going to post that, because even with his inflated score it would be the lowest score in his recent 20. Lucky I didn’t because they want to see what he does post and they don’t want me posting so he can try to calibrate his score.
