It's my understanding that the track and distance change is temporary. That being the case, I don't think any changes to records will happen.
Secretariat's 2:24 1.5 mile is not just the Belm...

A couple of things I didn't like about The Sandlot.
1. I think the kids trying to retrieve the ball from the Beast, with its size and ability ridiculously exaggerated at times, and the kids coming up with all sorts of contraptions to retrieve it got a little old.
2. The owner of the Beast jus...

I’m on the older side of this range (1978).
I don’t dislike Sandlot, but I don’t love it either. I am more of a Bad News Bears fan when it comes to youth baseball movies. ...

A New Hope and The Empire Strikes Back are two of the best movies ever made and are the reason why there is a Star Wars franchise still turning out shows and movies nearly 50 years later. I do like Return of ...

I would give Bale the edge.
I think one important thing is not just the skill range of the actor but their physical range. I think it’s easier to t...

If we were going to spin a wheel with all the movie characters of all time on it (everyone from Tony Montana to Raymond Babbitt to Forrest Gump to Conan the Barbarian to Happy Gilmore, and so forth) and you had to pick an actor to make the selected role work, who would you choose?
You get the act...
re: Which Rocky Movie Was The Best? Which One Was Your Favorite?
Posted by Globetrotter747 on 6/1/24 at 5:54 pm
The original is the best film. IV is my favorite, though. I wore that movie out on VHS back in the day.
The second one doesn’t get a lot of love, but the “win” scene with Adrian is uplifting. The training scenes are intense. (Mick’s assistant slapping the shite out of Rocky’s gut while he was doin...

You didn’t say be a superstar in the NFL. You basically said good enough for a roster spot, which he was as a true freshman.

re: Napoleon on AppleTV
Posted by Globetrotter747 on 5/31/24 at 11:41 am
1. Napoleon is perhaps my favorite historical figure.
2. In spite of #1, I didn’t like the film for a lot of reasons. For starters, they needed a younger actor for Napoleon.
3. One movie is not nearly enough time for the rise and fall of Napoleon. This should have been a Netflix series or som...
