Yes, I liked Primer, would give it a birdie. Even though it's low budget, it was a compelling story and you're fixated on figuring out how it all fits together.

the thing i liked about Primer was the feeling of dread it gave me.  its funny that for such a low budget movie, it really knew how to elicit that fear of "oh man, this is not a good idea..."

This movie was released soon after the Clinton-Monica Lewinsky scandal, no, I did not have sexual relations with that woman, Miss Lewinsky, and basically mimics the scandal. Maybe it was too true to life and the public was already exhausted by the scandal (I know I was), so it didn't do well box office wise.

Catch me if you can - tap in birdie Just a solid, well, more than solid movie especially the ending! Towards the end I told my wife I think this is a real story, and that is the case! It's just such a great story of how a con artist becomes one of the worlds authorities on bank fraud and ends up making millions anyways.

This is a complex time travel/time loop movie. You will get a mondo headache unravelling it. Some mind blowing concepts on gender and sex mixed in with time looping. [SPOILER=Super Crazy Spoiler:] From Quora:   It's a movie which can lead to you having sex with you, giving birth to you, then bringing yourself back to 1963 to break up the relationship between yourself and yourself and taking yourself as a baby back in time and toping it all by killing yourself?   [URL=https://qph.is.quoracdn.net/main-qimg-6dea3513c16ec4cf26f458aca414447e?convert_to_webp=true]https://qph.is.quoracdn.net/main-qimg-6dea3513c16ec4cf26f458aca414447e?convert_to_webp=true[/URL][/SPOILER]

Interesting movie.. missed the par putt on the low side I'm still trying to wrap my head around how it ended and if the ending makes any sense at all.

Rewatched Predator. Birdie. Movie is ancient but just a plain fun 80s action flick. So many memorable lines:

Stick around.

Son of a bitch is dug in like an Alabama tick.

You're bleeding. I ain't got time to bleed. Got time to duck? (S**t blows up)

There's something out there and it ain't human. We're all gonna die.

I can make it!

If it bleeds, we can kill it.

I'm gonna have me some fun. I'm gonna have me some fun. I'm gonna have me some fun.

You're..... one..... ugly....... mother****er.

Can't really get excited over any of the GG Best Picture nominees. Sure, Boyhood was good, approaching great, but not best picture great. I think Two Days, One Night got ignored.

I've seen five of the six animated movies with my kids. And that's it. There was a time when I'd have watched 80% of the nominees. Boxtrolls was wonderful, by the way. Today, in two attempts I viewed Noah. The first twenty minutes were pretty bad. I shut it off and came back to it later. Definitely a bogey, but it could easily slide to a double, or maybe squeak to a par.

Yeah, I've only seen 3 of the nominated movies, and all three were in the Animated category.  (Lego, Dragons, and Big Hero 6)  All three were really good, but, yeah, that's all for me this year.

I also got to see Captain America 2, Thor 2 and Guardians, but I think that covers it.  Still want to see the latest Hunger Games.

    • I agree with @klineka & @DaveP043 above.  When a new member first joins the club they cold be told that they are not eligible for tournaments until they have an established HCP.  As you said, it only takes a few rounds.  If they do not to post HCP that was their choice and choices have consequences.  If playing in the tournament is important to them then they should step up and establish an HCP.  Maybe they miss the 1st tournament, is that a real big deal?  And if it is a "Big Deal" to them then they had the opportunity to establish the HCP. As for not knowing how to report for HCP I assume your club has a pro and they should be able to assist in getting the scores reported and I suspect out of state courses may also have staff that can assist if asked.
    • Wordle 1,013 2/6 🟨⬜⬜🟨🟨 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Thought I was gonna be a big shot today...  🙂    Nice Job!
    • Cool here's my tweak, "If a player’s ball lies in the general area and there is interference from exposed tree roots or exposed rocks that are in the fairway or 1 club length from the fairway the tree roots and exposed rocks are treated as ground under repair. The player may take free relief under Rule 16.1b.[But relief is not allowed if the tree roots only interfere with the player’s stance.]
    • I would never do the extended warranty on the $50 slow cooker.  I also routinely reject the extended service plans on those toys we buy for the grand-kids.  I do consider them on higher cost items and will be more likely to get one if the product has a lot of "Electronic Tech" that is often the problem longer-term.  I also consider my intended length of ownership & usage.  If my thought is it would get replaced in 2-3 years then why bother but if I hope to use it for 10 years then more likely to get the extension. I did buy out a lease about a year ago.  Just prior to the lease end date the tablet locked up and would not function.  I got it repaired under the initial warranty and would not have bought it out if they had not been able to fix it since IMO once electronic issues start in a car they can be hard to track down & fix.  They did fix it but when I bought out the lease I paid up for the extended warranty the would cover electronic failures because my intent is to keep that car for another 8-10 years and I just do not trust the electronics to last.  Last week the touch screen went black and was unresponsive.  It reset on the 2nd time I restarted the car but that is exactly how the last malfunction started.  I fully expect to have a claim on that on repair under the extended warranty.  I do not recall the exact cost to fix last time since I did not pay it but I think it was @ $700-$800 and I suspect that will be higher next time.
    • Have you looked at Model Local Rule F-9 Relief from Tree Roots in or Close to Fairway?  You could extend this to cover exposed rocks.  The rule is recommended to be used only for areas relatively near the fairway, a player who hits a shot 20 yards in the woods doesn't really deserve relief.   Players can always take Unplayable Ball relief, they're not required to play it from a rock or a root.  Of course, they hate to take the penalty stroke too.
