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

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 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.

      Day 430 - 2025-12-04 Slow motion backswings (with chippy shots) with AlmostGolf balls.

      Day 24 (4 Dec 25) - Spent about an hour working with the new 55° wedge in the backyard.  Kept all shots to under 20yds.  Big focus - not decelerating thru downswing and keeping speed up with abbreviated backswing.  Nothing like hitting a low flighted chip with plenty of check spin and then purpose to float a pitch of similar distance.

      Day 114 12-4 Put some work in on backswing, moving the hips correctly, then feeling over to lead side. Didn't hit any balls was just focused on keeping flowy and moving better. I'll probably do another session tonight and add in some foam balls.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      Didn't say anything about your understanding in my post.  Well, if you are not insisting on alignment with logic of the WHS, then no.  Try me/us. What do you want from us then?? You are not making sense. You come here and post in an open forum, question a system that is constructed with logic, without using any of your own and then give us a small window of your personal experience to support your narrative which at first sight does not makes sense.  I mean, if you are a point of swearing then I would suggest you cut your losses and humor a more gullible audience elsewhere. Good heavens.
