re: Idea for Mr. Benson re: Extending Drew Brees
Posted by jtiger74 on 2/15/10 at 2:11 pm to Chad504boy
I'm sure Drew would be all over that. That works out to over 30 million a year, assuming the Saints are worth in the area of 800 million dollars.
However, I think they can get him for a lot cheaper.
Besides, what if they do that and Drew still wants to play after that contract is over? :lol:

Agree 100%. Also, ask him if his hatred of everything LSU is why neither of his boys even gave LSU a look.
It was definitely pretty weird that Peyton turned down the big opportunity to get coached up by Curley Hallman.
What in the hell was he thinking? :rolleyes:
re: 2010 Opening Night Game

It will probably be the Steelers.
Steelers or Vikings are the only two home games that would make sense and since the schedules come out in April and Favre probably will still be milking his "Will I or won't I come back" thing at that point, that leaves the Steelers for an opening night game of the last two Super Bowl champs.

re: Anyone heard from Archie Manning?

Archie's gone. Let it go. He's got two Super Bowl winning QB's for kids. The Saints are the number three team on his ESPN Scoreboard page.
Exactly.
I doubt Archie is heartbroken about Drew taking his "title" as face of the Saints or the fact that pulling for his kid upset some fans.
He hasn't played for the team in over 25 years, and he's pretty much switched from milking his status as a former Saints to milking his status as Peyton's dad since Peyton went to college. He's also lived here for forty years so any connections he has were locked up long ago.
He really doesn't need the status anymore.

im pretty sure yall are taking it out of context. it something like saints are trying to become superbowl champs but fine we have peyton manning. it was right after we went up by seven. at the end of the game he siad congrats and we deserved it.
I agree.
I didn't hear it but it seems pretty clear that the context is something along the lines of "We may have lost this one but as long as we have Peyton, we'll always be in contention"

A lucrative production deal for David Chase and a 20 million dollar check to Gandalfini and that problem is quickly solved.
Sounds like an OK start but I won't truly be interested until they go all the way and make "The Running Man" an actual show.

Dont rule out Miquel brother for the skinner either. He fits the cop gone bad MO. The foreman could be killer but why? Does he get his jollys by trimming their trees and then kill them. It just doesnt make sense why it would be him.
Yeah, if it's the foreman they are going to have to offer an explanation of why the only people getting skinned are people that have some sort of alleged connection to Freebo (Teegan, the kid pimp, Freebo's doorman, and Anton).
re: Dexter "spoilers"

He's either setting up Dexter (like I kind of thought he might) or going batshit crazy and killing Ellen and whoever else he can think of.
I don't think he's setting up Dexter. Dexter still has the bloody shirt and Miguel has now killed someone himself.
Add to that the part where Dexter had to stop Miguel from taking a "trophy" after killing the gambler and it's clear that he is just as messed up of a puppy as Dexter is.
I think that Miguel also has to know that Dexter is the Bay Harbor Butcher at this point. It seemed that was what he was driving at on the pier.
The only thing I'm wondering now is whether Miguel has made the connection that Dexter was the one that killed his brother. And, if so, does he care?

I thought the movie was a pretty solid entry into the Bond series.
It wasn't anywhere near as good as Casino Royale but it wasn't anywhere near as bad as Moonraker or Die Another Day, either. And Craig is still an excellent Bond.
However, you have to enjoy it for the "Bond seeking revenge" storyline because, unless you're a citizen of Bolivia, the villain's scheme isn't likely to provoke any strong feelings of urgency.

It doesn't have that young teen female demographic that will see it multiple times in the theatre.
Plus, the theatre to DVD window is a lot shorter now and, with the explosion of really good home theatre systems, a lot of people will see it on the big screen once just to get the maximum experience (maybe twice) and then wait for it to be released on Blu-Ray.
DVD sales might get close to some sort of a record, though.

re: Sopranos movie. Maybe. God I hope so.

the entire first half of the last season, they beat it into the audience's head the whole idea of when you die, "you don't hear it." it just happens, total darkness, and chase stresses that symbolism with the extended black screen before the credits. the entire scene in the diner, from the atmosphere to the ringing door, is centered around tony's point of view. the weird guy walks by, tony's head is down and his back turned. then darkness. christ.
The only problem is that Bobby is the one who said "you probably don't hear anything".
Remember the drawn out way he died? He definitely heard (and felt) it coming.
I think that Chase's point was that these guys were morons who had an overly romaticized view of the life they led, to include an overly optimistic view of how it was going to end.
Tony may or may not have died but using Bobby's quote as evidence of that seems to be misguided. Chase has constantly shown throughout the series that death is violent and brutal and those that are killed are almost always aware of what is going on.
There are no peaceful exits.

If there is a Sopranos movie, Chase has already said that it would be set before the ending of the Sopranos series...ie all the major characters would come back
I don't see how they can pull this off.
There wouldn't be any dramatic tension...you know that nothing major is going to happen to any of the characters.
A prequel with Junior and Johnny could work because the only real rule they would have is that Junior and Livia have to survive. Otherwise, pretty much anything is on the table. This is probably the best course of action; it would be pretty interesting.
A direct sequel to the series could possibly work. Gandolfini has a price just like anyone else. A 20 million dollar check for 4 months of filming would be tough for anyone to turn down. The only problem here is that the movie would have to be more action oriented to appeal to people.
Let's face it...slapping two or three episodes of the TV series together and calling it a movie probably won't translate very well. The series had a deliberate pace that worked for TV but wouldn't necessarily work for the big screen.

Because it was a sign of the times, 90 percent or more of these dudes got drafted to go fight a war they didn't want to be a part of. Mix in a bunch of them with a few gung ho frickers who can't wait to kill and then throw in a shite bird like Piles who constantly fricks up and eventually takes the brunt of everyone's stress, that is what's gonna happen. He was just the example of the worst thing that can happen at boot camp and I think it was very relevant. I am also willing to bet there were several Private Piles during that time, just isn't gonna be very well publicized
Exactly.
Plus, it was probably something of a commentary on how Gunny Hartman finally succeeded in turning Pyle into a killing machine...only to be killed by what he created.

I'm not sure if you're just joking around but Full Metal Jacket wasn't intended to be a comedy.
And, the drill instructor "acted" perfectly. He was an actual (former) drill instructor so he knew what to do.
