From the franchise that bought us: "I'll be back." And "Come with me if you want to live." Why does Arnie have gray hair? He's the Terminator!

You may have found out but he has grey hair because his skin can still age. Mostly to help the fact that Arnold is 20 years older than he was in T2. They are retconning the franchise, so Arnie went back to save Sarah Connor when she was a kid and ended up raising her.

Saw Exodus: Gods and Kings last night, I give it a bogey. Some of the action and landscape scenes were good but I thought the characters were kind of dull and the supporting cast wasn't used effectively. Also felt it was trying too hard to be "epic" without having enough character development/motivation scenes to back it up.

The One I Love is on Netflix now. Birdie. Great gem of a relationship mind bendy dramedy on what you want from a life partner.

hey @nevets88 this looks really interesting, anything else you can add?

It's a little science fiction-y. I'm not spoiling the plot by saying they encounter their doubles and it's fun watching them deal with it. Ted Danson has a funny part in it.

We watched a good movie on Amazon Prime the other day called Nebraska.

Stars Bruce Dern and Wil Forte.

It started a little slow but just builded to let you really see the characters as it went along.

Definitely a good one.

The One I Love gets a birdie from me. I enjoy movies that are a little mind bendy and you have no idea how things will end. Very Charlie Kaufman-esque.

Sounds awesome. I LOVE sci-fi-ish stuff that isn't all out sci-fi. Y'all seen Safety Not Guaranteed? Edit- I just checked and it's by the same guy, Mark Duplass

Yep, same guy. Same mind bendy scale.

Ida (EEEda) - OK, this is totally different than what I usually recommend here, it's a foreign film, subtitled, B&W;, slow paced, nothing gets blown up, no science fiction, but I was totally entranced by this movie. It's about an orphan raised in a convent who's about to take her vows, learns some life changing things about herself and her family, deals with it. A look into post WWII Europe, religion and communism. Tap in birdie. It's on Netflix.

Also, I'd suggest *NOT* watching the trailer, go in cold. This is probably going to be an Oscar nominee.

Watched First Blood this morning. Hadn't seen it in ages. I liked it. The final showdown has one of Stallones' better dialogue scenes. Easy par.

Fury- eagle. Pitt delivers. Like Redford as he has aged he looks more rugged and is believable in this role. The tightness and bond of a small unit warts and all is portrayed well.

Those tracers of the shells fired from the tanks and bullets from the machine guns during the tank battle were epic. Really gives you a feel of what it was like to be there, if that was an accurate depiction. It was almost like laser beams.

That scene in the room with the two German women. Tense.

Watched Good Will Hunting again last night.

Still rates as a birdie.

I might have liked to have a little more depth to the relationship between Lambeau and Maguire. Did Maguire give up math to go into psychology?

    • Yeah.  As far as remaining still, I was thinking body rotates around the spine like an axis.  Instead of pivoting, some like me, sway, come off that axis, leave weight on back foot, etc.  
    • I apologize on behalf of… idiot men. Sorry about that. Next time, tell the guy to shut up. 😛  Day 553, May 8, 2024 18 holes from the whites with @rwolfe. Windy AF today, but hit some good shots. Slid back a little from where I was the previous two days, but… I can get it back. Made a pretty nifty birdie on 12 from some pretty odd places. 😄 
    • The angles look fine. Get as much light as you can on the area — you want the highest shutter speed you can get. Less blur.
    • Snap @ Tour Spoon! Birdied 11 yesterday. Hit a poor iron ,stopped on edge of bunker , pitch with my lob wedge landed about 6’ away and went in. Only 12 & 14 to go, long par5’s into the prevailing wind. Might be waiting a while although I did have about 15’ on 12 after the birdie on 11, didn’t miss by much.
    • Tested the Maxfli TourS yesterday. Compared to my former ball, the Titleist AVX, I got an extra 10 yards off the driver and half a club (5-7 yards) off the irons. The combined extra yardage from the driver and fairway wood meant that on par-5s where I usually hit an 8-iron third shot, I hit a PW. It's just a smidgen softer than the AVX and seems to spin well. Some of the reviews indicated a low ball flight, but I did not notice it. I also did not observe any problems with the paint quality, which was an issue with previous Maxfli models up to and including the U series.  My previous round I tested the Bridgestone E6, a two-piece ball with a different cover. It was OK; the same distance and feel as the AVX but with less spin.
