Nobody's mentioned Vera Farmiga yet ... What's up with that??[/quote] Her taste in men. I think she chose... poorly.

Her taste in men. I think she chose... poorly.

So she's a bad judge of character ... or, Damon's character is waaaaaaay too frighteningly good at deception.

Regardless, I love her in the movie, even if she makes bad choices. ;)

I think she leaves Boston, moves to Albuquerque and changes her name to Skyler.

And becomes a nutjaub. :-) Lots of critical praise for choice of Gimmie Shelter in the movie if you read around. Scorsese uses it in his other movies, but imho, to no better effect than in The Departed. It's The Stones, man (In Dennis Hopper voice.)

:offtopic: That's Ricky Jay in the YT still. His live shows are amazing. He does all sorts of tricks. He can throw a playing card into a watermelon and make it stick good.

I just made time to watch the Departed last night for the first time since it came out. Loved it. Totally forgot how Martin Sheen died. As for the next film, someone mentioned it before they Departed was chosen, and it's another I haven't seen in years : Memento.

Your weakness is ... Milkshakes?? P.S. If we're nominating movies based on minimum amount of effort then I nominate Sleeping Beauty because it's in my DVD player right now.

I would put forward 2 of my favorite movies. Equilibrium and Serenity.

However, it seems like the nominations are more of the "heavier" variety.

KICK THE FLIP!!

Ironclad: Battle for Blood on Netflix looks kind of compelling.

It isn't five years old. It's a 2014 movie.


It also has a mid-teens rating on Rotten Tomatoes, @Lihu . Please don't make us restrict you from this thread for severe brain farts. You can't guarantee they aren't contagious. :-)

I nominate… @jamo to find the five movies people have mentioned most (if there's a tie it's your pick which make the list and which don't) since Thursday and to make the poll.

      Are You a Fair Weather or All Weather Golfer?

      By mchepp ·

      When I lived in Oregon my friend had a rule. It could only be 2 of the following 3 items for us to play. If all 3 we’d skip.    1. Windy (20+) 2. Rainy (needs to be steady, rain in Oregon is pretty common) 3. Cold (less than a high of 50) This was a pretty solid rule.

      Day 74: Worked on priority piece, full swing for about an hour this evening after dinner. Really need to exaggerate “hitting to right field feel” more than I think to produce slight push draw ball flight.

      Cobra 3D Printed Irons

      By mchepp ·

      I searched around but didn’t see any other threads on this so I’ll put it here. I work in the laser industry and one of the applications has been additive manufacturing. The main market for the past 10 years has been SpaceX and the space industry and some medical applications. The new one I saw this week is 3D printing irons. Cobra and the company that they are using is marketing these irons pretty aggressively.  In talking with the folks in the booth at the trade show, the claim is that they can gain strength but reduce the weight to put it exactly where they want. The print of the iron is very cool. Mostly everything behind the face is a thin metal lattice and then in the heal and toe is a block of tungsten for weight.  I am old enough to remember the arguments about forged versus cast irons. I wonder if folks here will pay a bit more to get 3D printed irons.  They have a booth here where you can hit them but I hate lines and the line to do it is always long. I go again tomorrow, and if the line isn’t too long I’ll give it a try and report back.    Here are some pictures (I had some trouble uploading, I’ll try later)
