Watched Good Will Hunting again last night.

Wife and I were just talking about that movie, planning on watching it again sometime next week. Been a while since the last time I saw it.

The Grandmaster Saw this earlier in the year, but it's available on iTunes now and will watch it again tonight. This movie defies categorization. It looks like an action movie, but it's more an

I used my little Fire Stick (which, annoyingly, is not at all battery powered) and it was on Prime for free.

Good Will Hunting gets a birdie. Lots of great scenes and Robin Williams was awesome. My favorite scene was towards the end between Ben Affleck and Matt Damon, when Chuckie tells Will about the best ten seconds of his day.

Firewall - it was an interesting movie that kept me wanting to know what happens next.. I didn't like the fact that the plot didn't turn on the bad guys in a more sophisticated way like I was expecting, and the ending was predictable. It gets a par because I wanted to finish the movie even though I knew how it would end.

Have any of you seen Coherence? Maybe @nevets88 since he's a fellow sci-fi geek?

Never heard of it. It's on Amazon Prime though. It's on my queue now. Is it good?

Have watched Home Alone and Home Alone 2 about 3 or 4 or 5 times in the last couple of weeks.  (Obviously not the whole thing beginning to end with popcorn and such, but just flipping stations and see that it's on.)  Those things never get old.

Birdies for both.  Even if they are carbon copies of each other.

Chinese Puzzle. Great little whimsical light drama, actually not a bad Christmas movie, happy ending, cute kids, funny. but not exactly a family movie, in a sense, even though it's about family, there's a guy in a fertility clinic and a lesbian scene but hey, it's French, directed by Cédric Klapisch, well known in France. It's the 3rd of a series, but you don't have to really know what went on in the first two, kind of like the Sunrise Trilogy. Birdie. It's on Netflix.

If you speak Mandarin, just this... Audrey Tatou (first language - French) in a scene speaking Mangarin, er Mandarin. Too funny.

Prolly not gonna get any Oscars, but a nice collage of scenes, some not seen in any of the previous trailers and the wonderful soundtrack.

Anyone seen The Interview yet? I think we'll stream it tomorrow.

Watched it Xmas night. Wasn't bad, but Francos over the top dumbness was a little annoying.

I give The Interview a solid par, there were some really funny scenes. Kids loved it. If you liked Pineapple Express or This Is the End, then you'll enjoy this movie.

22 Jump Street - Birdie. Way better than even the first one. Don't go into it expecting too much and you'll be HAPPY about what is offered. It's funny. The self-referential stuff is great.

No, it's the SAME THING. Just do the same thing again, it worked the last time. Why change?

Guardians of the Galaxy - Par.  I enjoyed it but only at par level.

The Skeleton Twins - with Kristen Wiig and Bill Hader.  Par.  Warning, Very serious movie, not a comedy.

      Can Somebody Explain to Me Why Lie Angle Balanced Putters Are Important?

      By ChetlovesMer ·

      I visited the PGA Superstore again today. Once again I messed around with the LAB putters. There was another customer there and this guy was totally sold on them. He walked away with one. Anyhow, this guy told me all about them. ... Pretty much stuff that we've already covered in this thread. I did mention to him that I wasn't impressed with the feel. To which he told me you have to try one with the upgraded shaft. So, I did. I have to say the feel was better with the upgraded shaft. Still not the best feeling putter out there, but clearly better than the standard shaft. The feel is also improved (in my opinion) by going with a more traditional grip instead of the forward leaning one. They also had one of the DF3's in blue. Which of course would be my favorite. The DF3 in blue with the upgraded shaft started to scratch the 600 dollar mark.  Once again, I came away thinking that Tour Edge is the way to go. They actually had a face balanced model for $99.99. I have to say it "felt" to my hands much better. Every time I go and test LAB putters I come away thinking more people should buy the Tour Edge putters. Just one man's opinion. BTW - I also tried the Odyssey face-balanced putter. It was okay.  Anyway, my experimenting with the LAB putters is probably over. Not sure when I'll replace my current gamer, but when I do, I don't think it will be with a LAB putter even though it does come in blue. 😜

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      Day 80 - 2024-12-19 Tested out the Garmin R50 for a little while. It seemed to give pretty good numbers.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By ChetlovesMer ·

      Day 10: 12/19/2024 Had another range session today bringing my new PPJ swing thought to the range. I'm hitting more and more good ones. Right now it's all block training so I get in some streaks where I'm getting the timing right and have several really good shots in a row. I realize I'll need to eventually work in some random training, but I'm not ready for that yet.  As of now, practice is a lot of fun, because I can see results and I feel like I'm making progress.  There will probably be very few range sessions over the next week or so. I plan to do a lot of mirror work and hit balls in the garage net.  Once again, I also visited the PGA super store and putted around with several putters. ... just for kicks.

      Low Duck Hook Driver!

      By GolfLug ·

      Yeah, that's what I am suggesting OP check. If he does not have a grip issue then great. It's not unheard of grip issues causing duck hooks. Anyway I don't have a horse in the race. Good luck to the OP.

      Low Duck Hook Driver!

      By inthehole ·

      I too fought the dastardly low duck hook something awful this year - as you say it is a round killer, absolutely demoralizing.  I've golfed seriously for 14 years and this just crept in this year - CONSISTENTLY, never ever had to deal with it before.   Like you, it only affects my driver, not hybrids/irons.   So I fought it all year and spent alot of time trying everything under the sun to fix it.   At end of season, after an incredible amount of work, I did fix it.   It turned out to be a simple fix - it is a grip issue (for me).    I always set up with my driver with club head lag like the rest of my clubs.   My fix was to set up straight to the ball - NO LAG (no shaft lean).   What this does is slightly rotate the grip in your hands ... automatically, You won't have to intentionally change anything with your grip.   It will feel really weird, but lock in the grip with no shaft lean / clubhead lag & swing normally.   Its pure f'n magic - completely fixed my low short duck hook without any other change in setup or swing, ball position, ball height, etc.  Back to hitting nice high straight balls, even a tad of fade sometimes, which i'm fine with.   Grip still feels really strange & I have to ingrain it in my muscle memory over the winter indoors, but can't argue with the cnosistent results the last 7 or 8 rounds of the season.... absolutely mind blowing what a simple little change can do.
