The best boarding stuff is in AK and Jackson Hole, but they "chase winter" south all the way to the Darwin range in Patagonia which is otherworldly. It's streaming on netflix, and it's probably the best thing on there along with The Trip.

Speaking of netflix, I just started watching House of Cards. So far it's really good.
Huge House of Cards fan. So much hype around the first Netflix produced series, but I have to say I'm not disappointed (see "actors that make me watch movies" thread Kevin Spacey disclaimer).

I don't understand how a screenplay can be "adapted" from non-fictional material.

I must admit the kiefer Sutherland/Jeff bridges version is a guilty pleasure of mine. I always watch it if its on.

The original. The more I reflect on it the more I liked it.


Was driving to work the following morning and I saw Raymond Lemorne in the car next to me on Kingshighway. I took a quick cell snapshot and sent it to my wife without explanation.

Be careful St Louisans.

Can't remember if End of Watch was GRB-approved, but i certainly liked it.

It was about the grittiest movie i've seen in awhile, almost too gritty at times though.

I feel like Jake Gylenhall is quietly one of the better actors these days and the mexican guy (i can never remember his name) is always entertaining in whatever he is in.

Ending was sucky tho (if you've seen it, you understand why).

I'd recommend.

Now I'm watching Beautiful Girls (one of my all-time favs)...one of the best scenes ever is the scene in the bar where all the bros sing "sweet caroline" imo

I've seen it and do not understand what you mean.

Unless you mean it's "sucky" in the sense that it's a huge effing downer. In which case, yeah. I was totally not expecting them to go that far with it. Hit like a punch to the stomach.
It was a damn good year for movies considering that End of Watch - an easy 8/10 for me - would rank somewhere in the middle of the 35-40 I saw this year.
