Anybody seen Cake with the fine as hell Jennifer Aniston?

She didn't look real fine in that flick but I thought she gave a tremendous performance. It had an oddly striking effect on me. I think I liked it but I wouldn't want to see it again. Weird, I know.

And I thought John Wick was violent...

Guess the 8 yr old won't be seeing the Kingsman anytime in the next 7 years... :-O

He saw the previews and said, "Dad, can we see that?"

... I think not...

I think I gave Kingsman a bogey and Wick a double bogey. That Kingsman scene stirred up lots of talk when it was released and it was one of many reasons I didn't like the movie. Also the ending scene just didn't work for me. I hated John Wick and imho it's totally overrated but what do I know I think a sequel is coming out.

Interesting, I understand not everyone likes gratuitous violence though.

I give Kingsman a par. I think the effects were cool. The plot was weak, and I didn't think Colin Firth had to die, but hey… whatever.

Rumor has it that Colin Firth may be alive again in the 2nd movie.

He looked pretty dead after that one scene, but that might have been makeup or something. I think he even did press work for the movie ... ;-)

I give Trainwreck a birdie. If you like Amy Schumer's comedy, you'll like this movie. It's a movie that tells a story with good characters that have funny moments, it's not just a collection of "bits" or skits. Mistake I think a lot of comedies get into.

I am going to give it a par with a sand save ... but I am far from a good movie critic.

I give Ant Man a par. It was good but not as good as the other Marvel movies. Thought they did a nice job with the effects and the characters but the story and the action was a little dull.

I liked Ant-Man, too. Another par from me. Aside from the bit where he has a run in with that guy from the 'A' team, it was a decent standalone story.

I had no idea Hans Landa is in the new Bond movie. Certainly makes it more interesting now. New Bond trailer.

Christopher Waltz was awesome in his roles for Inglourious Basterds and Django Unchained. I think he's a prefect fit to be a villain in Spectre.

    • Fair enough. You could be right.  Although, Cam Smith, to his credit, admitted it. His quote was something to the effect of "LIV Golf ruined my game. I have no drive what so ever to practice." I'm paraphrasing a little, but that was basically what he said. 
    • Okay, I gave this a try today.  Just for clarity sake I used a "Spin-the-wheel" picker ap on my phone to choose which order to do the distances. Then I used my Voice Caddie SC4, which I think is pretty good. Lastly, I used carry distance not total distance. I finished 9 over par.  The very first number generated by the ap was 125. Which I hit to 123 and made a birdie. I was like "This is going to be easy." Then I got the 160 which I hit to 171 and went from 1 under to 1 over just like that.  90 yards - par 95 yards - par 100 yards - par 105 yards - bogey 110 yards - par 115 yards - double 120 yards - par 125 yards - birdie 130 yards - par 135 yards - bogey 140 yards - double 145 yards - bogey 150 yards - par 155 yards - birdie 160 yards - double  165 yards - bogey 170 yards - bogey 175 yards - par Overall a fun little game. If you have an SC4 it will let you enter in a distance as a target and record your distance for you. Then once the picker ap tells you you've done all the distances you simply add up your score off the SC4 ap. Easy-peasy.  BTW - It was hotter than a snake's ass in a wagon rut out there today. 
    • On Saturday I played a short (~5900yds) but narrow course that has some quirky holes and very mature trees. Shot a 34-34 for a 68 on a par 71 which tied my lowest score relative to par at -3 (all time lowest round is a 67 on a par 70) and set my new record for most birdies in a round with 6.  That included a penalty stroke bogey on a par 5 and another sloppy bogey from 125 in the middle of the fairway. Hit a wedge from 110 to a foot on a par 4 and a knockdown flighted 9 iron from 140 to 2 feet on a par 3 for easy birdies. Add in driving it greenside on a par 4 and a couple tap in birdies on par 5s and it was a good day. Also helps that I made every putt inside 10 feet and only ended up with 27 putts for the round.  This is the SG compared to scratch and that includes losing 1.01 strokes approach on the 1st hole when I sliced a 5 iron into a hazard. 
    • Gotcha, yeah it's hard to tell from single aerial pictures what the rough is like. From that picture everything on the right just looks like traditional rough, not necessarily fescue. But that makes sense now.
    • I mean maybe? Or maybe they just aren't playing frequently enough to stay super sharp.  Just because they don't put up good results doesn't mean they aren't trying/practicing.
