    Elysium

    You're forgetting the head of the company that acts like a complete dick, even going so far as to ask one of his factory managers to "not breathe on him". He also gives two shits about Damon's character's incident at work. Otherwise they don't portray them as bad guys per se, although at the...

    Elysium

    Liked it a lot, I can see the point about the robots but overall the movie was solid with some decent action. While the setting of the semi near future felt very similar to the one he had for District 9, he builds a somewhat believable "world" with it. Sharlto Copley was fucking nuts...loved him.

    On the bright side, it's not as bad as shooting yourself in the leg and going to prison for it.

    Grimm this made my day. I'm telling you I was very disappointed in the mostly uneventful half or so of football from Grossman last night. When he came in before the 1st quarter was over I felt like almost anything crazy was in play.

    I mean he's no top tier starter talent by any stretch, but the kid can play a little bit. He's more mobile than you'd think, and throws a decent ball. His decision making has improved as well (although he still throws some picks in practice I hear). You bring up Flynn and I kind of feel bad...

    2013 NFL Season

    Yeah he definitely got shit for it at the time, but Cousins was well worth the 4th round pick. Either a great backup/fill in starter when RG3 is dinged up or if he ever learns to stay healthy you can pretty much guarantee that some team desperate for a QB will give up at least a 3rd for him...

    2013 NFL Season

    He looked a little more polished. Only thing I cared about tonight was seeing how Fred Davis and Brian Orakpo looked coming off injuries (decent, although Orakpo needs to calm the fuck down trying to get such a good jump on every play), and how all the rookies in the secondary looked (Amerson...

    Thor: The Dark World.

    We just have different levels of suck I guess. I liked Amazing better than 3...although again, that's saying basically nothing. I probably put 3 so far down simply because of how much of an abortion it was compared to 1 and 2.

    Falling Skies Season 3

    It's too bad, I was looking forward to the episode where Pope runs a pool for how many hours/days it would take to dig out the weapon, followed by Lourdes looking for ways to sabotage the dig.

    Thor: The Dark World.

    I have to agree with Astro (god help me) that overall I thought Spiderman 2 was better than 1 (although 1 was still great). I'm sure we're all in agreement though that 3 was an abomination, and while Amazing was better than that pile of shit, I have a hard time saying it was as good as either...

    Supposedly Jackman called up the Rock for advice on diet/training for this movie, and the Rock laid out the 3 hours a day in the gym with specific exercises on a 6000 calorie diet emphasizing protein or some shit. Jackman said he was eating steamed chicken breasts every day for 6 months and...

    2013 NFL Season

    You do have to give Flacco credit for the TD to INT ratio and simply being as consistent as he has (along with being injury free) to pile up the amount of yards he has. No, he's never thrown for over 4,000 yards in a season, but he's consistently put up decent to good years. Agree he's getting...

    2013 NFL Season

    I think a lot of them are overpaid in the sense of what percentage of the cap their deal takes up, making it harder to put talent in place around them...but in reality if you don't have a decent QB, you aren't winning in this league anymore unless you have a monster like Peterson to carry you to...

    Team stat, team stat, team stat, behind Carson Palmer, and the last 2 are actually impressive. Point still stands that he's never had an exceptional regular season, just a lot of consistently decent to good ones. He got paid for his playoff performance this past year.

    2013 NFL Season

    Thing about Flacco is, while he had a decent regular season last year, he hardly set the world on fire. He's basically getting payed for essentially just 4 games in the playoffs (although they were arguably the best single playoffs by a QB ever, 11 TD's to 0 picks is ridiculous). It's going to...

    Not to mention the golden luck our line had starting the same 5 guys for 16 of the 17 games. Basically zero chance that happens again, expect regression.

    Fortunately for the Skins, sounds like RG3 will be held out of all preseason games so he won't see Pollard this year.

    If a Caps fan, you can use that line in conjunction with discussing how Marcus Johannson plays when not being carried by Ovechkin and Backstrom (or so the theory goes)

    Skins weren't exactly free of the injury bug last year themselves...I think we ended up missing the 2nd most man games in the league (behind the Packers of course) due to injuries/whatever. Losing Orakpo and Carriker basically at the start of Week 2 for the entire season, and only getting 1...

    I'm as big a Skins homer as anyone, but I have a hard time believe we'll go above .500 this year with our schedule going from a last place one to a 1st place one. Packers, Niners, Falcons, plus the rest of the NFC North. I have serious doubts we repeat our 5-1 mark in the division from last...

    In order of how likely it is to happen, list these 3 scenarios: 1) Bengals win the NFC North this year 2) Ravens miss the playoffs this year 3) Steelers get back into the playoffs this year I'd have to go 1, 3, 2 in order of how likely.
