I just saw it. Here’s my honest review:

It is NOT awful. It’s a good movie. Lots of action. It’s fun.

The only negative is that it really does not drive any greater (significant) story arc.

It really is just like watching a long episode of the TV show with longer action scenes.

But it’s a formula that works, and it works here.

If I had to grade it out of 10, It’s an 8. Was I entertained? Yes. Let down in any way? No. Would I have done some things different? Yes. Did I make the movie? No.

You are wrong, but I don’t say that in a mean way.

Here’s the thing. College is more than just what you learn in the classroom. You go there to be with other people and learn how to work and socialize with them. It’s where you go to get the polish you need to be in and manipulate society. You make friends. You might find a spouse.

Can you be a success without all that? Sure. College is just one path to help you succeed.

But to future-proof your career you need to be able to do the things that AI can’t do. Being good in a room full of people… being able to make a person to person connection… using social capital to get things done… AI can’t do that. You can sharpen those skills in college.

Okay, sure. So we send our natural born American kids to break their backs working hard labor jobs while…

We import foreign workers to take white collar jobs and fill our professional schools on H1B and student visas and be our new upper class. Sounds like a great deal.

You know... I don't even care that they are Euro pros. I mean... we are paying all the players. They are all pros. European or not, it makes little difference.

I don't even care if they are older players, either.

The NCAA has made a mockery of this sport. We might as well stretch the limits of what's fair, tasteful, or possible to their greatest extremes, no matter how ridiculous it looks. If the NCAA doesn't care... why should we? Just put a winner on the court.

Man, I really like Slugtavius.

Going to suggest that one for when I have grandchildren.

Verbatim:

“Tyree, I neeb you help with phone. Please. You promise me.”

Someone out there neebs help from Tyree, and they never got it. Poor Tyree… a promise unfulfilled.

A lot of drama in that two line text.

I was surprised that I got some legitimate laughs from this show. It’s a combination of the lines and delivery. It’s funny!

I don’t think the story is true. It has questionable sourcing. I mean, it’s a FUN story. But it’s just internet bullshite.

Philly finishes it with about two minutes left. I don't love Philly, but Sid and Malkin can eat a big fat one. Good night, boys.

I agree with this. There’s a large portion of the Penguins fan base that has no idea what it’s like to play without a superstar(s) in the lineup. Sure, I’m jealous of it. I admit it. But… I’m not sorry to see them go home.

What BR or NOLA realistically could do is work with Houston’s NHL bid to get their farm AHL team.

Houston to the NHL is inevitable.

The AHL is high quality hockey. The problem with the Zydeco and their league is that it’s shite hockey and the whole thing is low-rent. Someone in Louisiana should grab that potential AHL team. It actually could be done.

I don’t understand how it’s unfair to working New Yorkers if someone out of town owns a $238 million penthouse. What’s the difference if someone lives there or not?

Is it that they think a “working New Yorker” could better fill that $238 million space?

So you seize it, and turn it into a tenement. Okay. Who’s paying your special tax to fund the whole city now?

Typical commie gobbledygook.
