Without having seen the movie: The best chapter in the book was about Beane's machinations to get Rincon. Also, remember that while half a season of Rincon doesn't mean even ten runs to Oakland, that is millions of dollars in value. It's easy to lose track of this, but even picking up a piddly 1-win player off the scrap heap more than justifies a GM's salary for the entire year. Even an incremental upgrade is a big deal if you're the team coming out ahead.

Holy crap.

Has anyone gone to see Drive because of Third Man's awesome review a few pages back?

Well, if you haven't, then please listen to me also. It's [expletive] awesome. [expletive]. Awesome. That was absolutely the most fun I've had at a movie in years.

I'm simultaneously super-jealous, surprised, and terrified of Gosling's character. He's phenomenal. Please go see this movie.

2nd-page bump: Damnit, did anyone see it? It's out of the top 10 so theaters are probably gonna drop it next week. If only I had time I'd go back again.

Saw it yesterday. It was the quietest movie I've ever seen. I could hear the fabric of people's pants as they crossed and uncrossed their legs during that opening sequence. It was as if everyone in the audience was holding their breath.

Up till the Ultraviolence I thought it was incredible. I get what Refn was doing with the violence, just felt it was a bit over-gorey. Plus when B-Rex got blown away I was all "Oh, shucks!"

Really bummed me out.

Not even one costume change. I mean, come on. I heard that Refn didn't like working with her. Well tough! I spent $8.50, put her in a short skirt & tank top!

Wowk, The Ides of March has like 4 of my 8 favorite current actors. Political thrillers rank down there with teenage romantic comedies in terms of movies I have a likelihood of enjoying, though. Tough call. Oh man it even has Jeffrey Wright! So much swagger!

So much swagger!

Welp, you leave me no choice. I hope you enjoyed your time as a member of GRB, but your time here has just come to an end.

I think its score on the Tomatometer has actually gone down 2% (81% to 79%) since you posted this. Make of that what you will.

I dont use blue font, sorry. I want to hit people that say that, i thought it would come off as nonserious with the exclamation. I accept my repudation.
