  1. I've read all the posts on here. I've got a ton of experience with this so listen up. Actually I'm an expert in this field.

     

    It's about your personal information being compromised.

     

    Your credit cards really don't matter. Credit card companies absorb CC fraud. It's about your personal information that will be used in the future.

     

    All adults need to have some type of credit monitoring and ID Theft protection...monitoring isn't enough though. About 4 years ago Anthem Blue Cross/Blue Shield had a breach that claimed 80 million SSN's and personal info. That breach is STILL the gift that keeps on giving in the ID Theft Protection industry.

     

    This breach was twice as big.

  2. Yeah they are pulling out stuff from the vaults. Not every one of their marketing or merchandising ideas made a splash. Here's a couple that they're bringing out....because they've got shitloads to get rid of..Geddy couldn't stop thinking big about this one:

  3. Here's the best answer from the same kind of thread a few years ago. (That thread asked for weight too)

     

    6 feet 2 inches tall. 210 lbs of twisted steel and sex appeal.

    My feet are size 13

    Thanks JB. I'm thrilled over your proclamation.

  4. I saw Dunkirk two days ago and I'll just say that it surpasses all of the great things that have been said about it. The movie is simply glorious, go and see it with all haste!

     

    You didn't feel like it needed more dialogue or character development, as some here are saying? (I haven't seen it yet, but plan to.)

     

    No sir! Not at all! The events of that day are the true "star" of the movie, and they are all presented perfectly. I was literally sitting forward on the edge of my seat for much of the movie. I suppose you could say it's not for everyone, and folks may just not be connecting with it, but I clicked with it so much so that the click was nearly audible. I. Genuinely. Love. This. Movie.

     

    More dialgoue wasn't necessary, but it wouldn't have hurt, either. It would be an excellent film either way.

     

    Anyone see Quest For Fire way back when? Now that had some great dialgoue in it! ;)

    Here's probably the best caveman dialog in a film

     

    Pooh has many names

     

    So does the physical act of love

     

    Now for a more expansive lexicon

  5. So it could have been a really great movie had it been told in a different manner. Great actors, but the dialogue is too sparse and the character development too anemic for those actors to shine.

    All too common these days.

     

    Still good though?

    Yes good...but only just so. Even without the character development, it could have been improved just by using a more traditional story-telling technique.

    And that pretty much sums up what I thought about it.

     

     

    I thought that Christopher Nolan got in the way of making this a really great movie. There are some things he does really well, but I thought the multi-timeline was distracting and confusing. I did like the multiple points of view of the bombing of the minesweeper, but it consumed the movie sort of like a long joke setting up a mediocre punchline.

     

    Things I didn't like:

     

    Almost no character development at all.

    Overdid it with the convoluted multi-timeline.

    The soundtrack was annoying and distracting.

     

    Things I did like:

     

    The cinematography was incredible.

    Multiple points of view. (Telling different stories that coalesce)

    The actors did a great job for what they did.

     

    Overall, it was a good movie. I'm just disappointed because it could have been a really great movie. The true story is quite captivating and I think he could have done a much better job if he used a traditional timeline and spent more time on character development.

     

    Well, I for one was glad that I didn't have to sit through yet another conventional movie that told me what to think or feel every step of the way. A rarity these days, I was captivated beginning to end.

    I agree with Goose. Nolan is the modern day Kubrick. This film works like 2001 in terms of sparse dialog and visual story telling...IMO

  6. Happy Anniversary to the Goose. Me and my two sons have had the opportunity to host Goose and his wonderful boy in our humble Tennessee home. Our kids played together as if they knew each other for years. We broke bread, wind, talked for hours. He got to see the "Caves of Ice" behind my house. He saved my youngest son Jake from sliding down a rockface (that was pretty cool to see BOTH of them get through that). He saw a goat drink it's own pee, and lick the sack of a horse...it was just all around cool. We even went ginseng hunting...here's my video clip of me and him in the woods. He broke into a trailer and stole some shit. He grew his beard out long, and spoke like a local to "fit" in:
